Uhg, this would be such a good opportunity for dems to use some repub strategy. File a motion for impeachment for every stupid gaffe like this. Too bad they're so fucking useless.

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!

MODERATORS
They are doing almost nothing at this point. They need to dominate the news cycle to get some message out to people instead of Trump/Musk shit.
Absolutely agreed. It's also the most constitutional argument you can make: this president refuses to follow the law, it's endangering all of us, and the only option he leaves us - the only option available to reign in a lawless president - is his impeachment and removal.
What is there to investigate? Act! Or don't and just admit you either don't give any fucks at all, or are useless. What more is there possibly to know?
Is someone expecting a "you can't handle the truth!" moment?
The is all rhetorical. I should just not read news. Going to give myself high blood pressure over things I can't do anything about.
News that isn't news is just clickbait. Content. Rage bait. It's the state of journalism, responding to changes in the distribution model and drop in demand for quality.
Read the headlines. Slams, hints, calls for, demands, suggests... It's all talk and no action. It's not news it's gossip. What have we gained by endlessly platforming America's stupidest and most odious liars? High blood pressure.
It's called 'testing the waters.'
Politicians hate taking action, especially when they aren't sure of the outcome.
Running your mouth is free. They can just say this now, probably knowing nothing will be done, so they can later, like during reelection, point back and say: " Well, we wanted to do something."
It was already swiped under the rug. Fox quickly ridiculed it by saying no secrets were shared and corporate media didn't want to push to hard not to look biased. They waited couple of days and media focused on new scandals.
Today's scandal is Trump's third term.
Do you think Obama will run against Trump in 2028? /s
Does anybody care about people in Yemen? Such a fuzz about a stupid group chat while the big story could also be the airstrike and murder of people. What happened in Yemen?
Because most people don't understand why Yemen is being bombed and it's tough to fully explain the geopolitical situation before you've lost your audiences attention.
Yemen attacking our boats - must attack back to protect boats. That's the extent of people's knowledge.
Even describing 'they collapsed a whole building to kill one guy' is tough - most people don't know the US has a missile that can kill one person accurately. They can't accept that people would be so cruel, so there just have been a logical reason why so many had to die to kill one person.
But...
Everyone can understand why inviting a journalist to your war chat group to skirt record keeping rules is a huge fuckup. It's easy to understand and it sticks in the mind.
Nobody cares because they're brown people and/or because caring about them doesn't give righteousness points
Traitor cunts should investigate whether they want their children to inherit a country of opportunity or a client state of the blyats.
Their environmental policies have shown that they're not worried about their children's future.
I wanna know who the fuck Jacob is
