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!

Can we say the obvious for a second?
Good decision. Everyone needs to be able to see this. It's important, especially in this climate.
Something this important, we all need to witness, no matter which way the verdict goes.
They'll get their out of context and misleading soundbites from the right wind media overlords, which will only reinforce their blind faith in their lord and savior trump.
Oh that's a good point though.
On one hand the media won't be able to resist actually covering the trial but on the other hand if they do that they'll be informing their viewership, and that can't happen.
Yes, but those people were never going to be convinced anyway. But I think there’s still a group of people for which seeing the proceedings live, and that they are conducted fairly, will be important. For example, I think this could influence Republican politicians to take pause in continuing to support him publicly. They care more about personal vanity than any sense of loyalty, and they aren’t all going to send themselves down with the ship.
And that, even if it's true or not, doesn't really matter.
The point is, this is the first time one of our leaders has been put on trial, it's something that all the people of the nation need to witness, regardless of its effect, or outcome. We can't just be told the outcome, we need to see it with our own eyes.
What does this heat have to do with it?
it will keep people indoors
This should be the top comment
It is
lol it was 0 points when I said that.
What's best is everyone will see the evidence.
Not really. The people who need to see and believe the evidence will never see it and will deny that it is anything but lies.
This is cool as Biden continues out his communist regime. Let the down votes flow on behalf of CNN because half of you can't see the other picture. Trump sucks I see that. But fuck y'all love these grocery prices. And diesel prices cause I can't work without it. My 3 kids like to eat too and in this budget we can't even afford that.
These prices were coming whoever was in the White House. That's the result of the economy crashing under the former guy.
Why do you have a diesel vehicle anyway? My wife and I have one of the most fuel efficient vehicles on the road. 11 gallon tank, and gets over 30 mpg.
I laugh at all of the dumbasses driving around in Ford F150s and Dodge Rams guzzling expensive dinosaur juice. Those guys are morons, paying the "dumb boy tax", and I'm sure they complain about it, too. 🤷
A Honda Civic can't tow a trailer of machinery, or haul material to a job
Sure, but there are vehicles between a Civic and a F-350. Small trucks like the Colorado come to mind, I have an Avalanche, but I don't use it with its towing capacity ever. The last time I did was a year and a half ago. It would have cost me much less to rent one than the extra fuel it uses. Most people who have big trucks only use their capacity once every few years or never at all. Often times a crossover works better than a truck, as you can fit 2 x 4s, tools, and stuff in the hatch and use its towing capacity to haul a small trailer when you need it. It's not hauling a backhoe to the job site, but how many backhoes do you need?
Biden? Communist? LMFAO.
