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!

Yeah, the reason being:
Ok, so you're taking the fact that the entire Mueller investigation could produce nothing showing meaningful Russian interference to be an issue as proof that there was meaningful Russian interference?
The only charges that came out were perjury.
Yeah, the captured court slapped their wrist and told them they were bad boys. If that was me I'd ha e been tried for treason, but Okie dokie. Fat man said it so it's true, eh?! They will not believe the lies their eyes tell them or something something.
Treason is defined in the constitution.
What are you babbling about? I honestly have no clue.
I'm talking about the "No collusion" thing. Yes, he should be tried for treason as should the GOP senators who enabled him as well. Could have avoided all this chaos over the last 100 or so years by actually trying and executing the traitors to the country that instigated the first civil war, but here we are. It was allowed to fester and rot and now the whole body is terminal.
What is the basis for a charge of treason that you're calling for? It sounds like you're saying this should happen under US constitutional law, or?
No.. There is simply no doubt that there was Russian interference:
The Mueller investigation couldn't bring criminal charges of conspiracy against Manafort & co., but they obviously had contact and were found guilty lying about it.
But sure, giving these people the benefit of the doubt is completely normal behavior in 2026. You go on defending them as much as you want.
Yes, Russia spent $100,000 on Facebook ads. And probably was tied in with stealing emails. And?
You're moving goalposts here. There's absolutely no evidence in Mueller or elsewhere that (a) Trump is a Russian agent (he's quite possible of being an evil idiot on his own), or (b) that Russian actions in any way altered the results of the 2016 election.
They were found guilty of lying. The fact that's ALL they were found guilty of is why the Mueller report was such a flop.
I'm not defending anyone. I'm tired of watching supposed "resistance" to Trump and the GOP fascism be squandered on this idiotic conspiracy theory because it makes people like you feel like you're living in a Le Carre novel.
