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.

- 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

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!

I mean, it does when you realise this isn't about actual justice for victims, it's all just theatre and performance to distract the braindead republican base by giving them a scapegoat (Hillary, once again) to point fingers at, call names, and blame for all their problems.
Justice is dead in America and the Republicunts killed it. All there is now is performance, finger-pointing, blame, and the slow deterioration of the country until Trump and his cronies finally destroy the country and flee to run their new "Board of Peace" with its 100,000s of soldiers and billions of dollars in finance as a global paramilitary force parading as world police.
"Justice is dead" should be "Justice has been dead since at least the 1970s".
Democrats have served half of that time, and here we are. Super PACs will buy (er, donate) whatever they want from whichever party, just as they have been, and they will continue to do. The parties will even change their platforms to accommodate the hand that feeds them.
Democrats, the "labor party".... unions have fallen to 10% (from 40%), and most of those are government employees.
Republicans, the "states rights" party.... it's like that never existed now, no mention of it, feds all the way!
Almost a billion dollars for each candidate that we know of, those PAC corporate/billionaire/Saudi/Israeli donors get a return for their investment. Do you think Amazon is charitable? Tesla? Microsoft?
"political theater" indeed, I agree with Hillary on that. Enjoy the show, we are running on fumes alone

Republicans trample and piss on justice, but don't forget that Biden could've prosecuted Trump and chose not to.
