“My people came to me, [Director of National Intelligence] Dan Coats came to me and some others saying they think it’s Russia. I have President Putin, he just said it’s not Russia,” Trump said. “I will say this, I don’t see any reason why it would be.”

  • Donald Trump on Russian interference in the 2016 election after privately meeting with Putin (Helsinki, Finland 2018)

This is only growing worse and the fact that we haven't done anything about it only emboldens bad actors.

Also, McCarthy was on tape admitting he 'knew for certain' that Trump and then-Rep. Dana Rorabacher were on the take with Russia. At this point you're either a deluded, moron who only listens to Fox News, votes republican and doesn't know what atoms are or how gravity works, or you're on the left.

I've been echoing this giant red flag as much as I can. It's even worse when you consider there was an unprecedented consensus across all the intelligence and defense agencies on this.

He trusts Putin more than his own advisors. Gross.

You can thank Democrats for INSISTING that Republicans aren't evil pieces of shit literally incapable of living up to their oaths of office.

If we could treat these traitors like the traitors they are, we'd be in a hell of a lot better of a position as a country.

Give an inch, they take the entire god-damned country.

Yep. Democrats constantly give Republicans more rope hoping they'll hang themselves... while failing to realize the Republicans are using all of that slack to wrap the rope around our necks.

going easy on republicans is only going to make it worse. make an example of them by throwing the ones calling for a civil war or secession in jail and they'll stop, just ignore the whining they'll do because their hurt feelings aren't worth it

Republicans are disgusting traitor swine and should be dealt with accordingly.

Every single facet of that border bill was a front in what future historians will recognize as a battle front in World War III.

Ukraine vs Russia

USCBP vs Texas Nat Guards

Gaza vs Israel

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!
