For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.

Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only

▪️ Title must match the article headline

▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)

▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.

Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication-No Fox News or equal), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.

Rule 4: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.

Rule 5: Be excellent to each other. Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, will be removed.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

Rule 7. No conjecture type posts (this could, might, may, etc.). Only factual. If the headline is wrong, clarify within the body.

It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. So back when it was time to prosecute Trump for his list of supervillain crimes, it was insanely important to maintain the norms of civil procedure and decency, because we couldn't set a politicizing precedent that might be misused in the future. We had to take our time, be civil about it, and now it's too late. But now that it's you in the terrifying crosshairs, you're going to set the whole politicizing precedent on fire and give him even more runway he doesn't need, to politicize the course of justice in the United States, because it's you and your friends in danger. And millions of Mexicans who might go to concentration camps, among many many other people who aren't rich or well-connected, are still on their own to look after themselves, from the cancer you let fester.

Get fucked. I won't say I hope you pardon your friends and he laughs at your pardon and puts them in prison anyway without trial, because I would rather that someone resists that effort also, in a serious way instead of just writing get-out-of-fascism-free passes for their friends on their way out of the building. I hope it all doesn't work. But fuck you for this being your solution.

The general US public voted in favor of doing away with norms. Dems tried to keep it up but with the evidence in front of them, why try to maintain the high ground on an unstable cliff?

Honestly leaning towards a "Fuck it, Biden should pull what we think Trump will so we can get supreme court precedent saying "no" since it's not a republican doing it."
