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!

Incredible that some politician had to mentioned her name and now suddenly journalists become journalists.
She's been there before Trump and somehow the entirety of mainstream media just ignored her until this past month.
I would hope this would cause people to never trust these overpaid clowns again, but I know how stupid people are.
I just love how verklempt the right (and the Tone Police) are acting over the mere mention of her name. It's not like Talarico said her and donnie are fucking.
The conservatives all leapt to that assumption that that is what he was saying.
And then they flew into fucking hysterics over the impropriety of it all, my stars. From the party that said Michelle Obama really was Michael and you could see her dong's outline in some pictures, etc...now they are raging the fuck out about this.
Well, now that someone said her name, she transitions from vanilla whackadoo to special whackadoo, with all the powers and perquisites that position holds.
So of course there will be more scrutiny of the ramblings she's shat out her pie-hole vs when she was just another vanilla whackadoo.
Thats what I mean though, she's a whackadoo with potential sway over the leadership of the US, and has had that position since the first term. Mainstream media are supposed to be journalists, investigating and exposing the truth for the world to see. They all have privileged access to those in power, a front line view of the corruption as it unfolds, and they just ignored this lady the entire fucking time.
It exposes just how toothless and incompetent they are. I know a lot of us on here have known this for a long time, its not a surprise for us, but I guess I just hope that maybe the public might be able to make these connections themselves now that the info is exposed. I know thats probably a pipe dream, but gotta find hope somewhere these days.
