Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Documents released by the Justice Department briefly mention a woman’s unverified accusation that Donald J. Trump assaulted her in the 1980s, when she was a minor. But several memos related to her account are not in the files.

NPR also showed that a lot of pages are missing

Heed what dates? The ones that place the evidence firmly in existence for the entirety of Biden's term?

Your comments indicate you don't have any idea what they found, or when, or what it means. For you to assert anything about evidence at all is ludicrous. You didn't even get my name right. You couldn't even tell, even after being prompted, that I was not OP. But you're an expert on evidence.

But I will give you credit for this: you are indeed an expert in demonstrating how someone tries desperately to elide the difference between fact and opinion, and what disinformation looks like in the real world, delivered with a dose of rage and trust me bro facts you pull out of your ass. And all anyone has to do is read the articles to know it.

What facts have I pulled out of my ass? You think a few missing files that the article is talking about excuse the lack of action on the entire case?

I'm not talking about these specific files, I'm talking about the whole thing. Which we can all see with our own eyes right now. You don't need to trust me on anything, if you assert that the Biden administration did its job on this case, you need to prove that.
