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!

They really don't seem to understand-- we don't care about party lines. We want accountability.
Vance is an idiot, but I think he knows what he's doing here. We're not the intended recipients of his threat. He's trying to get more Democrats on board with changing the subject. Pedophile rapists from both parties are in the Epstein files, and Vance is sounding the horn of Gondor for all oligarchs across partisan lines to come to his aid.
Yep, the only remaining thread the uh, MAGA doubters have left to cling onto, yeah, that's their QAnon derived idea that, sure, there's some bad Republicans...
...but far and away all the real bad guys are Dems, and they are all hiding everything, because they are the Deep State, even after they're not in power and have been largely purged from any mid or lower level gov positions.
They have to keep believing in a gigantic conspiracy, that everything is 5D chess, that all thr bad guys are keeping secret from them.
Otherwise, the cognitive dissonance collapses along with their personality and mental stability.
We are years past the point where these people all just believe any actual news that isn't MAGA affirming is fake.
These people will not watch or listen to any Dem, Dem influencer, Dem voter, any leftist, anything that platforms a non Republican saying 'Fuck Bill Clinton, yep he's probably in the files, yep he should probably go to jail, as should anyone seriously implicated in all this.'
They cannot hear this because their minds would collapse, so they avoid it, and if they do accidentally hear it, time for more conspiracy logic to 'explain' how somehow there is a secret evil motive behind saying that.
