    The space Trump actually needs is a 3x4m prison cell.

        As long as it has proper bars on the window, a solid door, prison food, and no wifi I’m generous.

    Last week: “We need to release the files.”

    This week: “Dear leader said no. I never implied anything different.”

    Trump needs a kick to the balls, that’s what he needs. And then another one, until everyone on earth had the opportunity.

    “Listen bucko, this is Congress, specifically a Republican Congress. We serve two people here, the president and the ownership class. Notice how I didn’t mention voters? They can go fuck themselves. Didn’t we make that obvious with the Big Disgusting Bill?”

    I am happy to give him space… in a maximum security prison cell, all alone until the very end.

    Is he dating the Epstein files? The fucking president of the country doesn’t get the luxury of space, he is beholden to the office to answer to the people. What a joke of a country.

      Politicians are public property. Property doesn’t get fucking ‘space’.

      Johnson just let the world know that he sides with child rapists. May the next Saint Crooks have better aim, and start with Johnson

        The guy who shares his porn-browsing history with his adopted son and takes his young teen daughter to purity balls is protecting a kiddie creeper?

        Sounds about right…

      That’s why the judge in the NY case was such a pussy.

      Absolutely nowhere in the Constitution bars a sitting president from serving his term from prison. No federal law bars a state from holding a sitting president in prison to serve his prison sentence.

      His only constitutional requirement is to be able to execute duties of the office. If his Cabinet feels like his prison sentence would preclude that, well there is an amendment to fix that.

      Honestly Vance should have pushed this issue to force himself as acting president.

    Here I am, regularly feeling guilty about whether maybe I accidentally insulted someone with my autism, while people like these lie openly, constantly and with impunity. A conscience really is a goddamn hindrance in this world rather than a net positive.

      I’d say the lack of a conscience is the real hindrance. If more people cared about the consequences of their actions, we’d be in a better place. It’s just a shame so many psychopaths are able to flourish.

      Sort of. People without a conscience and without the power, privilege and/or social tools to abuse that often also end up pretty badly. Like how narcissism can lead both to (unwanted) social isolation, or even prison time, and then also sometimes to a successful business/political career or creating your own adoring cult, depending on other factors, both intrinsic and extrinsic to the person.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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

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!
