Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

"do you really think that the Democratic party is going to the mat… and fighting for you?"
Forget about me, or the working class, the Democratic party doesn't actually fight for anything.
2000 election stolen in Florida? Ho hum, oh well... we'll get 'em next time! (2004 election stolen in Ohio...)

You rightly nominated a Supreme Court Justice but the Senate refuses to give them a hearing? Oh well! Guess we'll just have to win the 2016 election...

They couldn't even prosecute Trump for the crimes he committed. I wonder how many people that stayed home would have shown up for a party that showed it can hold rich criminals accountable. They should have used the 14th when they were discussing it, but decided not to for no known reason.
Well, New York prosecuted him, and convicted him, but delayed sentencing until after the election. We'll see how that works out for them.
If only there were four years where the head of the entire executive branch could have helped apply the law at all. Oh well.
Federal government isn't involved in State criminal cases, but you're right, he could have pushed the two federal cases and maybe raised the question of "Hey, don't we need to investigate Bedminster too?"
The 14th amendment comes to mind but no one choose to enforce it. Colorado courts stated it was a fact that Trump participiated in insurection, why didn't anyone then enforce the 14th? Theres only one branch of government whos job that is.
Supreme court ruled that states couldn't and by that time, the House was controlled by Republicans.
I'd argue we need an amendment barring felons from running.
