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!

I wonder where all the “Hilary used her own mail server” people are right now?
Privately laughing at you for thinking they give a shit about the rampant hypocrisy.
Half a meter up their own ass, explaining how the content shared "wasn't really war plans" so it basically doesn't count.
Laughing their stupid cunts off at having owned the libs, completely unaware of how fucked they are?
The one who vote Republican are saying because Dems wouldn't hold Dems accountable, there's no reason for them to hold Republicans accountable.
The ones who vote D are saying this is exactly what excusing illegal behavior from Dems leads to: Republicans doing it worse and with less competence making it a bigger problem.
Like, you don't get that? It's not exactly hard to figure out on your own and they haven't been quiet about their opinions.
Excusing illegal actions by neoliberals we don't even want, just makes it easier for Republican voters to believe both sides are the same amount of shitty. And makes people less likely to vote D, because D voters tend to have standards
Hell, our last president violated US and international law, but the party (at that time) refused to do anything about it. Now trump is doing it, and the same fucking neoliberals that refused to hold Biden accountable a few years ago won't stop screeching about fucking Hillary.
You all are the reason Dems are impossible. Nobody wants a party run by uncharismatic assholes who think trump gives them a blank check to do anything they want
It doesn't, and acting like it is why trump keeps getting elected.
I just don't understand how people who willingly choose to spend their free time talking about politics remain ignorant to very obvious shit like this. Gas no one tried explaining any of this or do you just call anyone who criticizes a politician with a D by their name some stupid trump like nickname?
I hold both sides to the same standards. I don’t let one slide cause that’s the one I might vote for.
Right...
Some of the people that wanted Hillary held responsible for breaking the law also want trump held accountable.
A lot of people act like that isn't a real view and anyone who says it just really hates their team.
That's what most of the comments here are doing anyways
I am yet to see any prominent Trump supporter, media person, or company call out this behaviour.
That would imply that the vast majority are duplicitous.
Now obviously we are all subject to algorithms so I might just not being presented with that content.
