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!

My comment about The Hague is referring to the NATO summit in The Netherlands happening today and tomorrow.
Otherwise, I expect he’ll fuck off to a non-extradition Middle Eastern country after his presidency. He’s building enough resorts to have several options.
He’s always been able to afford good enough lawyers to delay any proceedings for years, and he can’t have very many left. Given his open grift and straightforward bribes, monetizing the office, I image he’s finally the billionaire he always claimed to be, so he can afford it
Truth social going public through that shell company made him a billionaire on paper. If he gets to the point where he's allowed to sell, he could become a legit actual billionaire.
But he also has a personal 747, all that meme coin, huge profit on sneakers, etc
And don’t forget the superPAC money covering legal and other personal expenses
I mean, that 747 has to have more in maintenance paid than it's worth, legal expenses covered don't increase wealth, and did he really sell that many of those sneakers?
I think he has been lying about being a billionaire forever, but what I've seen from the (over)valuation of his truth shares it definitely gets him there.
