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.

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!"

How come she looks exactly like Julia Louis-Dreyfus in Black Panther 2?
There's no monopoly on the government-intelligence-villain look
i just want to splash tuls with hair dye and deny her her stupid little jean grey stripe
Why do they have to even bother quoting the "lying" in the headline?
USA politics is corrupt to the core :D
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember hearing that they got the intelligence through a channel they were already monitoring, and Obama decided to sit on it specifically to avoid the appearance of exactly this.
My recollection was that he tried to get it released in a bipartisan manner and McConnell spiked it
Obama asked permission from McConnell to release the info about Trump. He could have just done it, or even done it regardless, but he didn't.
That, and the way he wasted the first six months of his first term trying to be bipartisan, are two of his biggest mistakes ever and radicals altered the course our country would take. I'll genuinely never forgive him.
And he's still the best president I've ever had the opportunity to vote for :(
Can you imagine even one Republican asking a Democrat for such a thing?
Yeah, on the bipartisan thing, I remember driftglass on the Professional Left saying something like "Obama would extend a hand to the other side, and kept pulling back a bloody stump", which is a very evocative image.
Democrats are fucking brain dead idiots trying to play by the rules with a bunch of scumbag fascists
They lie broadly for any reason, so I don't see why they wouldn't be lying about this too.
Shocked face****
Of course Gabbard is lying. Her lips are moving.
...you voted these fuckers in...protest or non...
Good thing Gaza is ok then! /s
I mean when you have nothing else left in the cannon & have already turned over every piece of furniture in the hotel lobby, what’s wrong with some outright lying?
No duh
It's nice for somebody to finally use the word.
