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!

"Can you imagine the reaction if Joe Biden said he pardoned someone because Hunter told him to? If Biden blindly freed a scammer based solely on his son’s recommendation — no due diligence, no second thought — conservative media would be frothing at the mouth."
We don't have to wonder:

“I would say that they’re null and void, because I’m sure Biden didn’t have any idea that it was taking place,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One in March.
Trump added in a social media post the next day: “In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them!”
Conservative media is always frothing at the mouth.
Their entire MO is to keep the enemy constantly on the defensive and unbalanced because they never know what they're going to be attacked for next. It's a HUGE distraction from the crimes Republicans are constantly perpetuating while the idiots willingly buying their shit (in order to avoid admitting they fucked up) fume at Democrats.
What's crazy is that all we have to do is go aggro offensive. South Park them to their face on live TV. Have a young fit Democrat tell a pundit to do something about it on live air. Take your fucking shirt off even on your not in shape. Flip the table, literally, then call him a pussy ass bitch and challenge him on the spot.
MAGAts are like fucking lead poisoned babies. All they want is conflict, and they'll cheer for whomever is the most aggressive. Say you'll execute Trump, his kids, and every other rich 'non Christian, non hetero' traitor who betrayed us.
They'll eat that shit up. All they want is vengeance and a sense of justice. Like we all do. They're just very primal which makes them easy to manipulate. Killing them all and their kids wouldn't be impossible, but it wouldn't make things any better. We have to bridge the divide. We have to reconcile. And a common enemy is the quickest way to do that.
Once we get their votes we can start to address the deep seeded issues behind our current dilemma, and improve things for 99% of the population.
The 1% who enabled Trump will be executed. Possibly their adult heirs as well, if they were deeply involved in aiding the sedition of the US government.
Yup that's one of the sources for the godawful amount of hair mousse they all use. And accounts for some of the 'eau de halitosis' odour they all have.
