NYT fucking things up as only they can.
I’m surprised they gave up on the hurricane of Hillary’s email stories. I wonder how that all turned out.

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!

Rob Sand is the only politician that I'm aware of that can actually win an election with bipartisan approval. He was the only elected official in Iowa that did so as state auditor, where he got shit done, by the books. The only criticism I've ever heard about him came from those cunts Gov Kim Reynolds and AG Brenda Bird, of which I can't honestly say which is worse. They got pissy because he uncovered corruption, they didn't like it, and their attacks on him failed.
He's not a progressive, but he's a good person that I genuinely believe can be trusted to do the right thing. There's a reason Musk is looking to spend millions in Iowa, and it's because Sand is awesome and has support on both sides, but can't be controlled by any party. Him winning governor would bar none be the best thing that's happened to Iowa since it was the first state to legalize same sex marriage.
