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!

He needs to lose his SS protections. And any other benefit the presidency provides.
I mean I'd rather he keep the ss protection. I don't want him being martyred.
The cult must die.
I'd prefer the Flavoraid method but a full generation of deprogramming may have to do.
Not even the privilege of top shelf branding..
Eyy, if it's good enough for the poor people of Jonestown, it's certainly good enough for the magats!
Guys, murder is wrong. We should take the time to consider that they're human beings!
Chemical castration is a much more humane strategy. Come on guys. Do better.
Eh, I don't know about that path. They are already an army of small-dick energy, I can't fathom the power levels they reach by further reducing their sense of manliness.
He is being seem as a martyr right now for just being charged with crimes, so being a literal martyr wouldn't be any worse. It isn't like he stood for something that would keep going, the only momentum his shitty followers have is seeing more of him on TV.
That said, I would rather keep the ss protection so he can rot in jail.
Pretty much. Lock him in an isolated prison cell, being guarded by Secret Service members with Top Secret clearance. It’s the only way to prevent him from blabbing Top Secret intel to whichever prison guards will listen.
23 hour a day solitary would be safest for both him and the rest of the country.
I'd prefer prison guards over SS but they are probably too easily corruptible.
No way. It’s not worth him getting assassinated by some lunatic. Honestly even if he’s successfully indicted he should be on house arrest. Lock his pudgy arse up but he has to be kept safe for obvious reason.
That’s not how bail bonds work. If you use a bail bondsman, you pay a non-refundable fee (10% of the bail amount) upfront.
If he had the money, he should have paid the full bail himself. That amount is fully refunded so long as he appears to court.
I think that’s correct…I’m not a bail bondsman and I’ve never used one, but I did watch Dog the Bounty Hunter once or thirty times
