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!

See, that is EXACTLY how Democrats constantly fail...
They think they're Saturday morning cartoon Batman, unable to even kill one measly evildoer... How much faster would Gotham get better if there weren't twenty evil masterminds allowed to run around and escape prison??
Democrats are literally too ignorantly "good" to stand up to evil. They constantly do it on a legislative level, too. They CONSTANTLY let crooks set up traps for them instead of dealing with the crooks.
Just like in any SANE world, Batman would be cheered for mercing terrorists like the Joker and the Riddler and Penguin et. al... In a sane world, Dems would be cheered for barring literel lifetime criminals from running for office...
That's because "process" is all Democrats have.
Yep! They're the sort of morons who think signing things in to law magically stops bad people from trying. They'd sit there and shout about the loss of decorum while a terrorist shot every Democrat instead of simply shooting the shooter.
They're the sort of people to think Batman is wise for not being rid of evil people in an environment that has proven to be incapable of controlling them...
That process, the decorum you so richly despise is what keeps people from killing you for being such an ignorant loudmouth. People like you never think about the realities of a world where people kill without recourse and everything is an emotional knee jerk reaction with terminal consequences.
I think we would bar him from running for office if it were up to us and not a corrupt Court.
The Dems could've done a whole lot to expedite the judicial process. When a normal person commits a high crime, they sit IN HOLDING while evidence is collected... Instead, Democrats want to conserve the unjust and unwritten privilege of politicians to avoid justice.
As a result, they are allowing a literal mallicous traitor who literally sold top secret documents free to continue insurection planning. For years. Which lends credibility and legitimacy to the Republicans, even as they literally violate their oaths of office.
The Dems are not powerless. The legislative and executive branches do not have to just sit there and watch the judiciary. The "checks and balances" are not one-way.
