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!

Why only the women in his circle get thrown to the wolves?
Idea:
Let's take this moment to repurpose "LOCK HER UP!"
Uh oh, and the Dow is under 50,000. Now she's in trouble.
Yep, now she HAS to answer questions whether she likes it or not.
line go down 🤷♂️
Yeah but boy howdy have you see those oil stocks
Nah. There's still crime in Democrat's cities for her to bring up instead of answering questions, so...
I'm waiting for her to start citing instances of jaywalking from her little burn book there.
I'm European, lacking detailed understanding. Is it correct that the only way to do anything other than a slight flex, would be to have Bondi charged with a specific offence and taken through a judicial court process?
Idk how they’d even do that. The judicial branch doesn’t really have any enforcement. The executive branch (headed by Bondi's child rapist boss) is in charge of levying charges and arresting.
Perjury (lying under oath) is punishable but still, she could most likely get away with it. She has already (along with obstruction).
Idk where you’re from but I hope you’ve got it better than we do. Shit is getting bleaker by the day.
This is all Federal anyway. If it starts to smell like charges might be coming for Blondi, Trump will pardon her.
Unless they're actually able and willing to hold her in contempt when she inevitably throws a tantrum and refuses to directly answer "Yes" or "No" to simple questions under oath, what's the point?
They need to be absolutely willing to sic the Marshall on her if necessary and frog-march her to the Capitol Jail or whatever it is. Rules need TEETH. I am so sick of hearing how the US has 'guardrails'. Bullshit.
Excellent news, I've been wondering where the dow is at. Pam will know...
I wouldn't doubt if America had a human farm. And she came from it. Born and bred to be an accomplice.
More toddler tantrums, shouting over others, and ad hominem attacks against committee members incoming.
All true. But for the serious members of the committee she really only gets to play that once. Everyone's expecting her binder act now, and at least some will be bringing binders of their own, fully prepared for counterattack. The majority (R) members will pander to her and run out her time; the minority (D) members, who knows.
She WILL at least try to turn her deposition into a circus, but not everyone is that vulnerable to shouty obstructionism. Comer is no longer able to corral his committee members, so even though he personally is committed to keeping this hearing a place where truth goes to die, the few on both sides who really want the truth to come out will likely not follow his lead.
Also, it's not so much about what she says. I doubt anyone there expects her to do anything but obfuscate and maybe even Fifth. More likely she will invent some kind of non-existent "executive privilege" exception to having to answer anything at all. If I were an attorney (and many members of Congress are) right now I would be planning my questioning accordingly, and I'm sure the serious ones are doing exactly that.
But whatever she says in this hearing, she says under oath, which means it's not just amoral attack slop, it's amoral attack slop with personal legal liability attached. It won't have any now, but her perjury will never go away, either.
At least they haven't forgotten about the criminal cover-up that's still ongoing, even while Operation Epstein Fury fucks over the world in the attempt to distract from it. Subpoenas like this are one of the primary ways to enforce accountability, and even though that hasn't really happened yet (accountability) in this bullshit hurricane, we should still support their efforts.
