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!

No, no, the better thing is apparently to quit and do nothing. They ALL keep doing it.
If my job asked me to start doing unimaginably horrible s*** I would quit too.
Good now you can be replaced with a maga loyalist.
Yeah, that's the point. MAGA loyalists are mediocre lawyers at best, and without exception they end up costing the regime far more than they win.
For example, when the actual Virginia AG quit rather than prosecute James Comey and Letitia James as political retribution, the replacement was so bad that the situation ended up getting both cases thrown out and the replacement MAGA loyalist too. It was a total fail for the regime.
So more power to these guys, I say. I can't think of a better way for these prosecutors to shoot the regime in the foot than to walk out and take their expertise with them. The replacement hacks in general do not win, and just the walkout alone will likely stymie anything else the regime wants to do with it, like investigate Renee Good's wife.
And nothing else, like go public with exactly what you were asked and who? Just quit?
