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.

Can he be put in jail please
I’d settle for a massive coronary.
I would really prefer to see him live a very long time in prison but with the judiciary refusing to do literally anything to this POS.. fuck it lets go hamburders
Same. I hope he dies in a supermax, alone, pathetic, miserable, broken.
I want to see his real hair
Him getting that Phil Spector mugshot "what his head really looks like without cosmetic assistance" reveal would be so delightful.
I'd love to see it too, but I'm pretty sure that between the the logistics of locking up a former President and the very apparent dementia there's going to be some kind of clemency. As long as he is permanently barred from political activity, is sentenced to some form of house arrest, and of course has to pay whatever restitution is required, I'd be okay with that.
What logistics? You put him in a jail. Works for other people. “What about secret service protection?” They can go there with him. They can go home at night though. If you worry about his safety, put him in his own personal prison on an abandoned military base. It worked for Rudolph Hess.
It’s only hard if you make it hard.
House arrest is much too lenient for that man. I say this as someone who left their suburban property exactly once in the last 5 years.
He really really needs to be tried. It's the only way we'll get past the "you can't indict a president" nonsense.
In some ways, I'd love to see Trump get into office January 20th at noon and then indicted by a federal grand jury at 1pm.
But the headache of him issuing a pardon to himself is not something we're ready for as a nation.
poof, you have a massive coronary
I pledged to my kids that we would go back to Disney when Trump get sent to jail, I fell like my money's pretty safe, but I wouldn't going back to Disney.
Please don't give Florida your tourism money
I'm totally considering going to the California one due to the fascist Florida governor. But that is a lot more expensive to fly to. And I guess I could offset the moral dilemma, by pretending to be gay or wear a t-shirt saying I'm there to celebrate Trumps jail time.
And gagged with a dirty sock
