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!

I don't understand. How is the DoJ shrugging it off when he's been indicted on federal charges?
As far as not putting him in custody. For almost anybody else that had done a fraction of what Trump has done, they'd be behind bars by now waiting for their trial. Trump has been a free man this entire time, talking trash and juicing up his people to potentially commit more violence. That he's still allowed to walk free after being extremely reckless with National Security secrets seems like a travesty. Just accidentally misfiling something is enough to land anyone else in hot water, Trump blatantly broke rules left and right and even conspired to hide material from investigators. It's mind-boggling that it's gone this far without him being locked up by now.
He is being tried for his crimes. That you want him treated arbitrarily worse in the meantime just seems capricious. The decision to keep someone in custody while they wait for trial is made on a well established set of principles, not based on your need to see him humiliated for your entertainment.
The DoJ following procedure is a sign that they are taking this seriously and not just pandering to people crying out for blood and entertainment.
Bullshit. Bull fucking shit. He’s continuing to incite violence and press the big lie. Were it anyone else, they’d already be held in jail.
Does he have the right to a trial before a jury of his peers?
He's had 96 charges filed against him. You're an absolute loony.
