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!

That was the racist eugenics one. This one didn't resign from the government.
Hard to keep them straight.
it's always the people you most suspect
Fired from an internship.
Yeah. Most of the tech industry intern firings I'm aware of are for sex with other interns at work. Horny teen learns self control is a story they can tell.
Leaking trade secrets is not.
When I was an intern, a lot of the interns were terrible and didn’t even bother to show up. The big bank just let them finish their internship cause it was more work to fire them…
These lowlife fascists sure are good at finding each other
Not Mr Douchy Short Pants!! He seemed so wholesome!!!
I saw that and then realized my user name wouldn't actually hamper a public career as much as I had previously feared.
Yeah this guy should never have gotten a security clearance in the first place, even if it was issued by the President himself.
It's like handing the nuclear codes to a known international arms dealer.
I didn't think any of them actually have a clearance. Certainly wouldn't be able to get them through the normal process.
Everybody feels so bad for The Onion having to deal with reality and satire bending, but nobody feels for the poor espionage writer.
"More classified documents were discovered missing from a the President's Florida bathroom today..."
I guess that twitter girl got invited to their discord server.
That's GREAT news! I'm GLAD he knows my Social Security Number!
