    The media have been predicting Trump’s demise for years now.

    At point, I’ll only believe it when Trump’s been dead for a decade or two.

      This is guaranteed to be like the second or third comment on every post about Trump’s legal issues.

      The thing that makes Trump a ‘tragic’ figure is that he’s destroyed by his own actions.

      Anyone with half a brain would have sailed to a second term, or accepted the loss.

        His motivation might be that he thinks he can avoid prison when he’s president. Plus his scams work better when he is.

      At this point I’m not sure there’s enough human left in him to die.

      These people would vote for the Trump Vs. Biden AI version of Trump if he dies.

      Better stake his heart and throw him in a nuclear reactor when he dies.

      I love the tradition that is slowly starting to trend on Lemmy where someone comments this under every Donald Trump article posted.

        While I hated these repetitive comments on reddit, I actually think this obe is a most welcome tradition to post under any and all Trump posts - just this one, single comment and nothing else.

        Hmm check where this is posted… politics, what kind of platform is this… oh right a discussion forum

        So what’s the point of this site and forum if not to comment on things that a relevant to the topic?

        What a take you have there

          I think the point here is that everyone discussing everything about the orange clown gives the man a lot of undeserved free publicity. Not a statement about discussion of politics on a forum in politics per se.

            Ahh right ignore him and he goes away, he’s already fairly famous so I don’t think you and me discussing him will add to that

            He’s a fucking moron but he is involved in politics and this is a place to talk about politics if this was posted on a art forum then I’d agree with you

    Meadows seemed one of the likeliest to turn on trump.

      Meadows gave up his seat in Congress to go help Trump. I think he is regretting that decision.

    I’m expecting the most common phrase out of Mark Meadow’s mouth the next few months will be “plea deal”

    Bullies like that often overestimate the control they have over people. They forget there’s always a bigger fish…

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!
