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!

Washington — The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a court fight over whether House Democrats can sue to get information from a federal agency about its lease for the Old Post Office building in Washington, D.C., which was awarded to a company owned by former President Donald Trump.

The Biden approved GSA Administrator Robin Carnahan could easily provide that information. I can tell you that Emily Murphy and Tim Horne who was acting Administrator likely are guilty of Federal crimes involving the violation of the Federal Acquisition Regulation with leases and contracts. Horne left government service as quickly as he could to avoid a federal investigation. Murphy should be in prison for how she held up the transfer of power to President Biden.

So fucking much corruption that went on under Trump it will take decades to repair the damage if we ever do.

Also the Supreme Court is compromised time for the Democrats start calling them out and then ignoring their fucking rulings.

Biden could just go forward with canceling that student loan debt he promised. Not like the Court as any teeth.

Apparently the Republicans ignore them all the time.

Agreed.

Under a Democrat: “We have to respect the rule of law, the court made a decision and now we have to abide by it.”

Under a Republican: “The court has made its decision, now it is up to them to enforce it.”

Democrats are truly spineless - they don’t even play the same game and bitch about losing constantly. Fuck this “honor in politics” shit, the fascists are winning.

You're 100% correct while Democrats play politics and use those honor system the fucking fascist Republicans are going take over and turn us into a dictatorship.

Why I think Biden worse Democratic president every he acts obviously to what the fuck is going on.
