Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Victim. Trump victim. It was proven in court. The president is an adjudicated rapist.

Average right wing dumbass: randomly parrots bullshit talking points about "lawfare".

The average right wing dumbass then sits there quietly when lawfare and the weaponization of government like we've never seen before is aimed at all of Pumpkinhead's enemies.

Everyone at the DOJ should be crawling under their desks in mortification that they work there.

Is she going to be able to get some of that $1,776 million slush fund for people attacked by a weaponized justice department?

Say billion. Don’t reframe it.

[–] 4grams@awful.systems 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

The reframe has already worked. The number keeps being reported as 1.8 billion dollars when it was specifically 1.776 billion, 1776 being red meat for his base. That number means something to them and covering it up is providing cover for the motivation and intent of the fund.

The 1,776 million number contains more useful info than saying 1.8 billion, so I’m cool with that framing.

It actually helped me realize that it was a purely made up amount too and that it’s exactly pandering to his base with “1776”

The irony being that all of his jackbooted thug fans would be Tories and ache for a Big Daddy/King to rule America again.

There's no number in the "settlement." Drumpf just handed himself a blank check to be paid by the taxpayers

Unlimited. There was no number named in the "settlement." Drumpf handed himself a blank check

Rapists cannot get enough of victimizing people. She already bought a gun for home security, post conviction, out of fear due to the deluge of harassment she received from Trump followers.
