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

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!

Trump’s New York case will begin in March

A New York judge ruled Thursday that Donald Trump will stand trial in March on charges related to the Stormy Daniels coverup. Assuming the case goes forward as scheduled, Trump will be the first former president ever to be criminally tried. It will also be the first criminal case to slot in place among the complicated judicial calendar Trump is facing in this election year, and it means Trump will almost certainly face a jury before Election Day. In three other jurisdictions—Georgia state court and federal courts in Florida, and Washington, D.C.—Trump has been indicted on charges related to the 2020 elections and his retention of classified documents, but the timetable for those cases remains unclear.

Some religious types are pointing-out a page on www.BenjaminLCorey.com which identifies that Trump's matching the anti-christ/biblical-abomination of the End Time rather well..

However, until he is made illegal to be ruler of the US, there is one of those items ( from Daniel ) that hasn't come-true yet.

According to that page, iirc, Daniel states that ~ he is not even legal to be king ~ or something like that, and that hasn't happened, so therefore there is still 1 mismatch between the Christian biblical prophecies-set & the evidence. ( the Jewish set doesn't include any of the New Testament stuff, hence it is the Christian set which is more-completely predicting/accusing ).

I'm only pointing this out.

I didn't believe until just-recently, that authority in the US would have the spine to make it illegal for him to be ruler, but now it looks like 1 or more of the .. 91 criminal charges, is it .. may stick, so now I'm having to accept that that ancient scientifically-testable-prediction-set may actually hit all its points, this year.

Just observing, is all, not anything else.

Really shouldnt of been the first though, considering all the prior presidents who had some hand in war crimes while in office.

Will never happen anywhere.

I know, but I can dream.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Yep. The entire gov has decided that decisions made by the president "related to nat sec" can never be prosecuted. On one hand it makes sense on the other hand it opens the door to literal genocide.

Repercussions make us all better people. Hope you enrich your life soon Trump [hopefully, in jail].

Particularly enjoyable is no more of this jet-setting on campaign bullshit in lieu of sitting in a series of dreary courtrooms for the rest of his days

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Wonder how that will go. If he doesn't show up to court he WILL lose. If he does go to court, he will be able to campaign a lot less

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Most cases don't require the dependent to show up for all of the court dates. So long as legal representation is present. Aka just the lawyer can show up for many. Arraignment, declaration of guilty/not guilty

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Will he be able to resist tho? Honestly I cant figure this one out. Whats going to be more important to him? Campaigning or screaming at the judge about how amazingly right and Elvislike he is?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

The end result of someone never forced to compromise or make an irreversible decision.

They will eventually meet an irresistable force and the only thing that ever made him immoveable was that same irresistable force that is now itself conveying him
