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!

Now he can pretend he got silenced as the reason why he didn't take the stand.

Boooo. I’d love to see a few perjury charges tacked on.
And contempt.
And electrical
And my ax.
And this is likely exactly why they didn’t call him to the stand. They knew he’d immediately perjure himself, because he’s a compulsive liar. No amount of coaching or “just keep your answers short and only answer exactly what was asked” will keep Trump from lying on the stand.
You honestly think Trump would face perjury charges?
Just more examples of his dingleberries not having to follow the same rules as everyone else.
Intimidation. Plain and simple.
Did they defense even defend him?
Edit: corrected spelling because someone thinks they are a smart ass.

Do we really have to wait a whole week for closing arguments? Just get the hung jury announcement out of the way and let in him off Scot-free, yet again. Can he just have a heart attack already? Sick of this
No, no. I want him to be in prison. Or at least haunted by endless trials until he dies of natural causes, all bitter and angry.
I have no hope of him ever facing consequences like the rest of us would.
I feel stupid for reading any of these articles or commenting on them. We all know this movie ends with him getting away with it, but it's still compelling compelling for some stupid reason.
All I'm seeing is that the guy on the right dropped a really nasty one and the guy on the left is mad because he didn't get a heads-up.
So a guy that claims to have been working as Cohens lawyer took the stand. If he was Cohens lawyer though, wouldn't attorney client privilege have prevented him from testifying about anything?
So the mere fact of his presence proves him to be a liar, right? What am I missing?
bwaaaaak, bwak bwak bwak bwak bwak bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaak
Has anyone in this family even seen a chicken?
Cocka-cocka-cocka!
Chaw! Chee-chaw! Chee-chaw!
If it weren't for that damn gag order Dear Leader would have testified
No balls
Guilty people usually don't.
A whole week before closing arguments, yeesh.
As usual, a coward.
Maybe they bought one of the jurors?
