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!

And get nothing but warnings in return...
They keep starting to hold him accountable, then backing down. All it's doing is embolding him and his followers.
Yeah, it's maddening. It would/will be great if it all caught up with him. Maybe once he loses the election it will all come crashing down (like is now happening for Giuliani).
It would be great if Taylor Swift dumped her Super Bowl champion boyfriend and went out with me instead.
But there's no reason to think it will happen.
The people who are able to hold him accountable, don't want to hold him accountable.
One true thing trump has said (there's not many) is this is common. Maybe not to this scale, and definitely not as haphazardly. But every wealthy person with real estate does this, and lots of them donate to both parties. Not just that, with elected judges, they need campaign donations too.
Hell, the Clinton's went to one of Trump's weddings because of all his political donations.
Theres a lot of pressure to never hold a wealthy person accountable.
It's like how cops never turn on other cops for anything except snitching. The wealthy don't give a fuck about political parties, it's them versus us. If we don't even acknowledge that, it'll never change
If you own property you are immediately considered to be more valuable than other people. That's how the police look at people, that's how the justice system looks at you, and that's how the government looks at you.
You are not a productive part of society unless you own property/business.
You also cannot punch up. If your buisness is aimed at people below you, you're fine. Don't deprive anyone with more wealth from thier money, cuz that's when the hammer is brought down.
