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!

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Senator Barack Obama’s presidential campaign announces that Hunter Biden, his running mate’s son, has quit working as a Washington lobbyist.
Hunter Biden leaves a damaged laptop with “alarming” and “embarrassing” content at a computer repair shop in Wilmington, according to the business owner, John Paul Mac Isaac.
The investigation, which began in late 2018, is led by the U.S. attorney in Delaware and is said by people familiar with the inquiry to have examined potential criminal violations of tax and money laundering laws.
Hunter Biden agrees to plead guilty to two misdemeanor counts of failing to pay his 2017 and 2018 taxes on time and accepts terms that would allow him to avoid prosecution on a felony charge alleging that he falsely asserted that he was sober when he bought the handgun in 2018.
A federal judge in Delaware, Maryellen Noreika, puts on hold the proposed plea deal that would have settled Mr. Biden’s tax and gun charges, saying she did not want to be “a rubber stamp.”
Mr. Weiss, the special counsel, says he plans to indict Hunter Biden on a gun charge before the end of the month — a move prompted by the collapse of the plea deal.
