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!

Funny story: they can't do that. Good luck getting before a judge in Colorado who knows exactly who this piece of shit is and arguing they have any legal precedent for this. They would have to admit she committed a crime, and even then it doesn't erase her state conviction and record.
Can't pardon that shit away.
Pedonald is threatening Colorado with unspecified "harsh measures"; it might be that someone in Colorado caves to this asshat even if I'm sure most of Colorado's citizens want her to serve all of her term under Colorado's watch.
It's more about mashing up "Pedo" with "Donald".
Im not 100% on this but I believe federal convictions trump state ones so if she were to be tried and convicted federally he can do it. And I would be sorta fine with this. If he were to pardon her she would simply have to go back to state which she would have to do at some point to finish her sentence unless she died in custody.
She wasn't convicted of a Federal Crime. That's the issue. The federal system has no precedent for taking her into custody.
The federal govt doesn't run elections.
yeah im just sayin if they want to put her on trial and convict her federally im all for it.
Not even what's happening. They're trying to silently pardon her because she's a Trump fanatic. They can't pardon her, so are trying to abuse the system to get her out of custody.
yeah I get that. im implying the way I would like it. Its a wishful thinking kind of thing.
I don't believe this is true. State and federal charges are completely separate and a person can be found guilty for both.
If they wanted to charge her federally, they could maybe get her moved, but she'd have to be charged with a federal crime.
