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!

Tulsi Gabbard’s role in brokering the call and President Trump’s decision to directly press frontline agents on the inquiry are outside the bounds of typical procedure, The Times has learned.

Anyone want to bet they will "Discover" evidence of fraud now after true patriotic agents went in and Gabbard helped "Uncover" what wasn't there before?

[–] notwhoyouthink@lemmy.zip 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Exactly! And that ‘massive discovery’ will be used to send ICE agents (or Border Patrol, etc) to blue state ballot boxes to ‘prevent fraud’ but will really be about intimidation. More states need mail in voting legislation before it’s too late!

More than just intimidation, since it will be ICE they'll just grab anyone dark enough to not pass their whiteness test so they won't even get to vote... :/

[–] kmartburrito@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh shit! We found exactly 11781 votes that were missing! I win!

Let him find those, that would make him ineligible to currently be president…

Use his made up evidence against him

makes me wonder how much the FBI has cost us over the last 20 years... cause it's certainly billions, tens of billions likely - and what the fuck good did any of it do when treason descended upon our country and a corrupted party allowed this shitburg to come BACK to power?

like, what's the fuckin point of an NSA, FBI, CIA etc., if this shit sails through.

Oh those agencies are only supposed to stop poor people 'tyranny', not like, rich people and foreign actors?

What a complete fucking waste.
