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!

It's crazy to me that anyone can be ok with someone sharing nudes of someone who did not consent. They're both adults at this point but it's literally the president's son, too. I'm not big on appeals to authority but maybe a modicum of respect for a politicians family insofar as not sharing naked photos of them?
And the response so far is that she can get away with it. So it continues to be normalized.
The people who dismiss her as "just a dumbass" - whether she's doing this because she's literally insane or because she's been told to - recognize the lasting damage this type of behavior is inflicting.
What's crazier is that the same people who scream "the liberals are exposing our kids to sexually explicit content" because a book has two gay characters hold hands are perfectly fine with the nude photos being sent to everyone. If a gay kiss lasting two lines is enough to cause screams of rage, why aren't actual nude photos being emailed to everyone resulting in screams?
Of course, the answer is that they don't care as long as the nude photos "own the libs." (So Hunter nudes are okay, but Ivanka nudes would be outrageous.) If showing kids an explicit video of two guys having sex would somehow "own the libs," then the right would suddenly be all for kids seeing that sexually explicit content.
She should become a sex offender for this. Any normal person would get sentenced to prison if they did this, yet somehow i don't think she'll get in any real trouble for this.
What the fuck can we do about this? I'm so sick of seeing powerful people get away with all types of crimes every single day while there are regular people serving 30 year sentences for getting caught with some weed.
We are past the point where we should be revolting. I don't think we should resort to violence, but we should put our collective foot down.
We have all the power. This country's economy would grind to a screeching halt if we stopped showing up for work. We need to make some demands and stop contributing until they are met. Accountability for the powerful should be among those demands. I also say we demand the ability to pay for housing, goof, and health care by working a full time job. If we don't have those bare minimums, then what are we even doing?
She's trash, along with all other rebuplicans in congress.
Also I wonder if Hunter Biden is regretting not encrypting his laptop hardrive and/or using veracrypt/cryptomator (assuming he now knows it's a thing).
I can't help but wonder who he was sending videos of himself smoking crack to? Why would a grown man even take a video of themself doing something illegal? I don't care, he's not any part of the Biden administration, its just bafflingly stupid.
