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!

Didn’t Orban meet with Trump recently?

The Kentucky Republican sent letters on Wednesday to Attorney General Merrick Garland, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and White House counsel Edward Siskel, accusing the administration of having facilitated potential meddling in the 2024 presidential election. Comer attempted to contrast the trip with former President Donald Trump’s first impeachment trial, which focused on his attempt to push Zelenskyy to investigate Joe Biden.

The nut of it. This is a tit-for-tat in defense of Trump.

Letting z tour a factory is the same as trump asking him to start a fake investigation into Hunter....lol yeah ok

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Going against Putin?

Keep flogging the dead horse Comer. It's your only talent.

Comer is really good at falling for lies by Russian operatives as the complete grounding for his sham impeachment of Biden and spreading those lies to the American citizens.

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

If someone as abjectly fucking useless and ineffective as James Comer worked for most companies he'd have been fired within weeks. That this freckles sack of shit is collecting a government salary and will get a pension for life is a crime against the public.

Once again, the GOP demonstrates that they have no other tactic than baseless projection. "Well our guy talked about undermining the U.S. elections when Zelenskyy visited, obviously the Democrats must have done so as well! There's absolutely no other reason the U.S. would host the president of Ukraine!"

I wish the gop would just fuck off already.

[–] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Ugh, this asshole again…

They would investigate anything but themselves.

"My little angel Donny wouldn't do anything like that, you liar! But what about her emails? 😭"

GOP or FSB?
