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!

It's a GOOD THING Democrats DIDNT Prosecute ACTUAL CRIMINALS when they Had the Chance! THAT would have been POLITICAL! MAYBE Chuck Schumer will send an ANGRY LETTER from Prison!
He'll be so fuming mad there will be 9 strong questions
Nine VERY strong questions
Fuckin' putz thinks he'll get a more comfortable prison cell because he collaborated with the regime. Didn't learn fuck from his own history.
Dems are fucking sycophants too. Fuck Murca. I hope we burn in hell ahahahaha.
God can you imagine the screaming they would do if Biden had done this. A cacophony of stuck pigs wouldn't be able to contend.
We heard the screaming they did when they spent years building bullet-proof cases against Trump that were by the book.
Maybe when they start arresting house reps people might pay attention.
You know they won't most Americans want this, whether they admit it publicly or not. It can be seen in how they raise their kids and kick them to the streets at 18 while ignoring how their futures are limited and how much they are struggling. "You're an adult, figure it out on your own" is an endemic attitude. Why do they even have children, who the fuck knows, Republicans aren't the only ones who don't actually give a shit about how their kids' lives turn out. "Fuck you, got mine" is everywhere.
Not even a majority of VOTERS wanted this, let alone Americans...
I do not believe it is actually a majority. Way too many, either way, though.
But two big issues I see is that most of us are literally living paycheck, where any significant time spent unemployed will result in losing your home.
Number two is how well armed the military is. Not to mention how many times our government has already proven they are more than willing to mobilize the forces against civilians.
So, yeah, we're pretty much fucked.
Gosh, where have we seen this before? I really kinda forgot.
Wasn't it some dude named, uh, Hillter? And Bimmler? Maybe Ron Bibbentop?
There's a lot to unpack here, but the title is sensational. So:
-
This doesn't expand any powers the DOJ has
-
This doesn't allow them to just indict whomever they want
-
All the skilled litegators at DOJ have left the building, and only idiots remain.
-
This group they THINK they can disband, cannot be disbanded, and their work cannot stop, so they THINK they are just going to sidestep it and do whatever Plam Blundy wants, but that's not going to happen for a number of reasons:
-
Judges are slapping the DOJ down and admonishing them left and right in court
-
They still need FEDERAL judges to even bring an indictment, WITH EVIDENCE OF A CRIME, in order to get a warrant, and then maybe arrest somebody.
-
Federal Judges absolutely hate having their time wasted, and this DOJ has done nothing but waste their time
-
Judges DO NOT have to keep wasting their time with the DOJ requesting indictments if they continue to prove in court that are acting in bad faith (mala fides). So maybe one or two tries at this, and the DOJ will never allow them to file for this bullshit again.
Blondie thinks she found something to scare people...nah. They can't do shit with this except make themselves look foolish, and get smacked down in court some more.
They're expecting the judges to push back so they have an excuse to get rid of the judges.
You can keep hoping and praying, but they can't do that either. At this point Trump just better try a complete overthrow, because this shit is getting nowhere, and will keep going nowhere.
There are less than 2000 federal judges, the Federalist Society has over 70,000 members. They have the man power and motivation to replace them over night. At which point the law says what the fuck they want it to.
What's stopping them isn't that they lack the resources to seize total control. It's that they lack the resources to maintain control. And they're never going to have them.
And how do you imagine Federal Judges who are appointed for life will be removed from their benches exactly?

I'm sure they'll just start taking everything to certain judges to get them rubber stamped. We already know there's one out there who will publicly suck on trump.
I'm sure they won't regret doing this when the shoe is on the other foot
This is the All-In move where they gamble there won't be another foot
I'm sure they won't. "Moral High Ground" and other excuses from the DNC.
Well Crooked Joe started it.....naaaa na na naaaa naa
