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!

They’ll get good, expensive attorneys to defend themselves and they’ll believe until the last second that that will be enough.
What do you want? The American voters made him Emperor.
Haha, imagine being Merrick Garland, carrying Trump’s water for years, and still winding up on the enemy list. Jesus, he was such a miserable pick by Biden. Had Trump been prosecuted, no one would be in a position of power to execute that enemy list.
Yeah, no fucking shit. They lie about everything. According to all these lying liars, including donvict himself, Project 2025 was not a thing, either.
You can count on one thing - the qons are all lying liars.
I won't shed a tear for Garland. The others though... Not great regardless, but Garland should reap the harvest.
Idk why you're getting so many downvotes. If Garland didn't pussyfoot around for 4 years we wouldn't be in this mess.
Especially considering the report literally says "we had enough to convict" (if we had more time we could have) but Garland decided to wait years to start out of fear of looking "political."
Well look where that got us. These chucklefucks don't give a damn about looking political, they had their state propaganda outlets cry foul for years preemptively justifying "politically motivated" retaliation.
If these people didn't live in ivory towers completely segregated from actual reality, they'd know what Fox was up to.
Garland decided to wait years to start out of fear of looking "political."
Which is the most maddening part of it from a "how stupid do they think we are?" standpoint. Bending over backwards to not "look political" is one of the most political things you can possibly do!
Especially in cases like this where something infinitely more important than optics failed because of it!
He should seriously be tried for dereliction of duty in a time of crisis, obstruction of justice, or maybe even, to quote Bluth Senior "some light treason" 🤬
This is the same person who, under questioning, said the needed to study the 14th amendment. They're a lawyer 😐
Critics fear the Justice Department could be...
Fans rejoice the Justice Department will be...
Anybody on Limpdick's enemy list is on the honor roll.
I don't believe it's helpful to be hyperbolic about these things or to come to conclusions supported only by speculation and innuendo. Let's please be clear-eyed in how we handle the coming shit storm.
Noted Trump sycophant Bondi did NOT "admit" there is an enemy list. That's opinion on the part of TNR and it takes a certain amount of hand waving to get to "there is an enemy list". She said "There will never be an enemies list within the Department of Justice".
I'm not saying there isn't an enemy list - there is in Patel's book after all - but this headline is at best deceptive.
That is a rediculous bar. Don't worry about it until we are sure there is a list even with all the references in the administration to reprisals and such. Imagine someone saying to not be hyperbolic about concentration camps until we know for sure they exist. I mean hitler hid that shit as best he could.
Mmmhmm. Ok.
But you assume I'm saying "don't worry about it". I'm clearly not. I'm saying don't use click-bait headlines that are factually inaccurate so that we can worry about the RIGHT things. Ie that there almost certainly will be a list AND that Bondi will lie through her teeth to hide that fact. If we do this then we can better understand how to expose said list AND the lies.
ok. I get that but unfortunately most headlines are just pants now.
