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!

Of course. She thinks they'll be royalty if they survive this.
They will be.
They already are. When was the last time a political party paid legal bills for….checks notes….sexual assault by their leader?
Clinton.
I'll get down voted for this, but we have a problem with legacies.
- Bush and Bush 2.
- Bill and Hillary. There was talk of Chelsea.
- Kennedy, Kennedy, Kennedy...sa-wing batter.
- Roosevelts.
- Rand and Ron Paul.
-- I'm forgetting many, I am sure. It's just a nepo thing here in Murika.
That's not what that is. It's 2 factors that combine into something very visible.
-
Children often follow in their parents footsteps career-wise. You can see it most obviously in politics and acting where names are important and they are highly visible. It carries on from age-old styles of hereditary work. You see parents do something as you grow up and if you try to do that you have built-in teaching and potentially a network to rely on. Bakers, scientists, actors, etc. It all works the same.
-
Name recognition. When you get the above, it becomes really easy to notice the same names. That can encourage followers to follow the name, assuming you'll get similar things and quality. Look at Stephen King's kid: while he's good he gets attention simply because people think he will write as well as his dad. In politics you get that in spades where candidates live and die by their names and reputation. You see a Clinton, Kennedy, etc and remember the past and expect it. It takes a lot to break that expectation.
Let them eat pussy!
One step closer? Wrong. That line was plenty crossed when he had both his daughter pushing canned Goya goods from the WH, as a Senior Adviser(!?), and his son-in-law working in the Middle East file. Corruption or grifting? Why not a bit from colummn A and B?

Wow what a surprise from the country that Prescott Bush tried to over throw in a Nazi coup, established the OSS/CIA to overthrow governments, then his son George HW Bush became president after running the CIA and then his son stole an election by manipulating the courts and then totally altered the entire character of US society post 9/11
