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!

If being a hero was easy, then we wouldn't celebrate heroes.
If they weren't ready to be heroes, then why the fuck did they take a spot in Bidens admin knowing they'd be taking on the responsibility of fighting fascism?
Fuck em.
They didn't do the job they took, which means someone who was willing to fight didn't get it.
Now you want me to fucking feel sorry for them because there are consequences to them not doing their job?
There's consequences for everyone, I only have so much sympathy to go around, and the people who failed to hold trump accountable are in the back of the line when I'm handing it out.
Voters did, but voting for the only other option besides the fascist in 2020.
Unfortunately the only other option was an ineffectual moderate who appointed people like Jack Smith that just wasn't ready to fight fascism.
And four years of that not working, led to a decrease in Dem turnout and Biden losing the election.
The reason "fighting fascism" hasn't worked so far, is the only other option won't fight.
That's by design, it's why billionaires donate to both parties.
Feel free to stick your neck out any time, my friend. It's easy to be a keyboard warrior. Trump can send out a mean tweet or something that ends careers and has sent cities scrambling over security, to the point where US congressmen will not criticize him out of fear for themselves and their families. But you. You are the hero we needed. You've got what it takes to stand right up to him. You are America's John Connor, standing up against the Skynet of facism. My only question to you, hero of the modern age, is if it's as easy as you say, why the fuck haven't you done it already?
But hey, like I said, feel free to stick your neck out any time. Let me know how that works out for you.
The neat thing about the Internet is you could be talking to anybody...
My necks fucking on the block already.
Why do you think I care so much?
You want me to explain to you why Joe Biden didn't pick me as Special Counsel to prosecute trump?
Yeah, let me just send you my resume real quick and the disposition letter from WHS lol
