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!

I highly doubt Trump thinks he's going to prison or is worried about going to prison, nor about Trump Tower being knocked down (I don't even know where that's coming from), and certainly not the fate of his children after his death. I just think he has too much ego to believe there will be consequences for his actions (he certainly doesn't think he deserves consequences, especially with the recent BS immunity ruling from SCOTUS), and he's too narcissistic to care about his actions affecting others.

I'm not really sure what issues they think he's gone soft on, pretty much his only policies the first time were "build the wall", "drain the swamp", and "lock her up". In 2020 I don't think the GOP even had a platform, it was just "Sleepy Joe" this and that. So are they mad he hasn't come up with a catchy enough insult for Harris yet? Do they just want him to play the old hits from before and tacitly admit that he didn't accomplish any of that when he held office before?

He didn't sell out, what changed is cognitive decline. He can't even stay on topic long enough to get a 3 word catchphrase going again. Someone should really see if he can repeat "person woman man camera TV" immediately after they say it to him, without him going on a tangential rant.
