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!

I'm not advocating its true, I don't know if it is or not. I am presenting the argument that some Republicans make.
They didn't ask for arguments, they asked for examples of indictments. Why are you presenting, as an answer to that question, examples that you're ignorant about?
Indictments of people in the administration.
Difficult to produce indictments when your whole administration is covering for each other, right up to the petty amount of cocaine bags being left by uNkOwN ViSiToRs.
It is difficult, and yet hundreds of Trump administration officials have been indicted for their obvious crimes.
Look, I'm a progressive, so I don't like Biden very much. I am not surprised that someone found drugs in the West Wing, either. I would bet if you turned out the pockets in the capitol building, you'd get enough coke to kill an elephant. Politicians and political activists are competitive, unscrupulous people, and I don't condone cocaine abuse. But on the scale of accused crimes, somebody doing drugs in the bathroom pales in comparison to any of the scandalous crimes Trump officials have been convicted of.
eh, that still reads very much like a propaganda take. Americans need to stop getting their news from fedoutlets and MSM. Even the progressives who were generally more independent minded and harder to sway are becoming incapable of seeing what's actually going on.
I don't think that progressives are unaware of the corruption, but I think neoliberals and MAGAts want to pretend that bOtH sIdEs SaMe to blur the choice, or discourage voting entirely. The character issues between Biden and Trump are not a tie. That's not a defense of Biden, that's a criticism of Trump.
You actually have no idea what you are talking. I know you think you do. But you don't. You think because you tune into Fox news, and maybe even read a couple 4chan threads, googled QAnon conspiracis, that you understand what's going on. But you actually don't. And here's how I know you don't. You're still focused on Trump. If you had any idea of what was really going on, Trump would be the least and last of our worries. And may in fact, be the thing we actually need. That I am an independent saying that, is probably one of the most bizarre and downright insensible things I would have accused myself of saying 2 years ago. I've gotten wiser to what's going on since. And so should you.
Here's how I know that's not true.
You think criticizing Trump in a thread about Trump is fixating on Trump.
You think that Trump "may, in fact, be the thing we actually need." No. Full stop. Trump is a syringe of poop, and you're advocating we inject it into our veins. There is no scenario where Trump improves anything, no problem he could solve, no benefit he brings to the table. And thinking he could help is evidence of a diseased mind.
That may be true, but it sounds like you're neck deep in conspiracy theories and bullshit, and you're just happy it's not in your mouth anymore.
that traitorous shit stain is the last thing we need in the white house. ill take manchin or sinema or even the turtle himself before that traitorous shit gibbon.
perhaps the secret service should wipe their phones so we never find out what happened.
They said scandals.
They said scandals AND indictments. Republican nonsense is neither.
I interpreted the and in a different way than you.
Incorrect isn't a valid interpretation. They said scandals and indictments IN THE ADMINISTRATION. Republican nonsense is neither.
Biden is a part of his own administration. The accusation is that he colluded with is son in corruption.
Ah so the mask is off and now you're openly advocating for republican nonsense. You have lost this point. Take the L, son.
Browse this users comment history. They're a troll. Starvation is the move with that lot.
No? There is a difference between conveying someone's argument and agreeing with it. I understand ISIS's argument, I just don't agree with it.
"Both sides!" amirite?
No?
It's actually incredibly strange to see the Biden corruption being treated like a question. People really need to get their head out of their ass. "Oh.. Biden corruption? Say it isn't so!!"
