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!

getting tips for surviving prison

[–] EndOfLine@lemmy.world 25 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's a minimum security Federal Prison Camp where inmates can escape by simply waking away. Even when convicted, these traitors don't do hard time.

I cannot find confirmation on this, but I suspect the reason for the visit is that in-person visits are less likely to be monitored and "safer" for discussing illegal or incriminating topics. Can't imagine any other reason for Donnie Jr to go there in person.

Wait, it's not through a phone so it can be recorded?

[–] EndOfLine@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

As I understand it, the warden as the authority to add such monitoring, but regulations only require supervision to the degree of preventing contraband from being passed between visitors and inmates. While I found no confirmation for this, I cannot imagine the warden of a minimum security facility wanting to spend a portion of their budget on this level of surveillance.

Creeper is looking like Tommy Lee Jones.

VP candidate?

I bet he didn't even throw a few bucks in his commissary account so that Pete could get a block of ramen.

The woman who stood behind him with the sign will forever be a hero to me. I even told my partner I wanted to marry the protester (in jest).

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

What did the sign say? I didn't see a woman in the footage.
