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!

Because those in power support this kind of behavior.

Correction. They support your outrage. They want it to become a shit show so you won't pay attention to the dozen of things they should be doing. Or working for the people. This kind of thing just makes certain decisions that seem less important get passed or neglected.

May have? It would be more surprising news if he didn't.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 years ago

Business is business, isn’t that what he says? Business as usual for a bloke who keeps top secret documents in his spare bathroom.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 years ago

May have? This guy would sell his own daughter if he could. And I'm not eve talking about the one whose name he doesn't know, I'm talking about the one he wants to fuck.

It's obvious that Trump sold out US intelligence assets across the world, leading to major setbacks in our intel community and the deaths of multiple people, so if this is true... will it make any difference? At all? Trump could come out and declare himself a vassal of the New Russian Empire and his followers would still lick his boots, and 'moderates' would say "Well, what about the DEMONRATS"

They, in fact, do talk up Russia as though it is some free speech, all the guns you want, libertarian paradise. It's incredible to see.

Fucking duh. Why else would he have taken a fucking truckload of classified docs?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

Oh so she just learned that he may have sold a binder? She wasn't just holding onto this little pearl in order to sell another book was she? Any of Trump's circle, even his ostensibly "nice" niece Mary, is just an opportunist looking to cash in on the chaos.
