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!

Professor Eastman laid out a series of options that we discussed with Vice President Pence. Vice President Pence disagreed on certain issues but ultimately what President Trump said is, let's go with option the, let's just halt, let's just pause the voting to allow the state legislatures to take one last look and make a determination as to whether the elections were handled fairly.

LOL, Trump has alienated all but the worst lawyers. Let's hope they suck this much at trial.

This might be this dude's cry for help and to get out of this shit.

A new shitshow to watch each day. We had a break from Trump news, now it's back.

I'd rather binge watch it in a a few days and get to the end than wait until every other Thursday before we see the next episode.

One can dream

Ah yes, the Netflix speedrun method. This is a good strategy that I won't follow because I'm a moron.

Gotta love these dumb attorneys Trump keeps hiring and listening to. That classic "best people" sound bite keeps getting better with age.

None of the smart ones would tell him what he wanted to hear.

[–] mateomaui@reddthat.com 3 points 1 year ago

Which is part of why his ass is already strung up if he decides to go with the advice of counsel defense.

From that pence quote.. I highly doubt trump knows the words 'legislature' or 'determination'

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Or “fairly.”
