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!

"Call him the Trader in Chief."
I'd rather call him dead.
But for now, Traitor in Chief will do.
Or Cheater in Chief?
Child raping orange painted mushy brained dementia riddled cunt...in chief.
Insider Trader in Chief
He hasn't experienced any consequences thus far, so why wouldn't he just put his dirt out in the open? The only reason he's so precious about the Epstein stuff is he knows Qanonsense got him elected and that might actually turn his base against him if it's damning enough.
very tired of reading the latest blatant corruption in the united states. Not enough people in the country care about the corruption.
Lots care. It just turns out that their entire legal system was smoke and mirrors except for the poor.
Neither President Trump, his family, nor The Trump Organization plays any role in selecting, directing, or approving specific investments,” spokesperson Kimberly Benza said in a statement. “They receive no advance notice of trading activity and provide no input regarding investment decisions or portfolio management."
In other news, beef tallow is good for you, Iran is always seconds from nuking Tel Aviv, and the cow goes woof.
Insider trading! Say it ain't so!
Trump is the result of our corruption, not the cause.
Why should Pelosi and McConnell and their peers be the only ones? They've been insider trading for years, it's rampant. Some are making trades for tens of millions of dollars. Of course the President will also get rich, and his children, who will sit on the boards of many companies for decades in the future.

Their salary is less than 200K, yet their wealth is spectacular.
Almost forgot, you got me, bOtH pArTiEs, I'm a russian-chinese agent bot, etc., you win
I think we need a law that says any stock trades that an elected member of the government (or their staff) directs or advises on must be publicly annouced 30 days before the trade, and the trade must be completed.
He has made his corruption legal, just by not having anyone around powerful enough to judge him and jail him.
and the Democrats are promising to pass a whole new bunch of anti-corruption laws with real criminal consequences!
At this stage, why even bother ?
We've seen countless 'outrages', threats of impeachment etc, but nothing ever happens.
Well, only one thing might happen. Trump could fire and/or shut down whatever government agency was responsible for reporting this information.
shhhh...they are ALL doing this.
“Technically he can do this, but it is fundamental breach of trust.”
That's all Trump needs to hear. "Technically" does a lot of heavy lifting in his world. "Trust" not so much.
