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!

How does he get his paycheck? If he actually receives a paper check, how does he cash it?
Gold bars, of course. Oh wait, you mean his paycheck from the US Government, not the other ones, don't you?
I mean, it makes sense. Where in the US would he be able to cash a check for rubles?
Cashes it at Walmart
He's been in government since 2017 or earlier, and gov jobs require electronic payment. Period. I have no idea how this motherfucker can get paid by the federal government without a bank account.
Please someone explain.
If the Rs are going to continue supporting Santos and Clarence Thomas, they're not going to do shit to this NatC for doing far less.
well, yeah, they're fascists. they still support trump.
I still want to know how this fucker gets paid by the federal gov without a goddamned bank account. In the 90s the army finally forced everyone onto direct deposit and that was one of the last federal programs to finally get electronic payment going iirc. Direct Deposit doesn't work without a bank lol
I meant to imply that he absolutely has accounts and is simply committing an ethics violation by not reporting them. There's no way a white collar person can exist in society without having a bank account, especially given your point that direct deposit is a requirement for him specifically. The only people that can do anything about it is the majority party in the House, and they don't care.
yep, there's only republican accountability for non republicans. and women. and lgbtqs. and people with melanin. or in a minority situation.
yep. fuckers
Maybe a shared account with his wife?
according to the reporting there's no bank account in his, his wife's, or his kids' names. No trust, no assets, nothing.
Something's rotten (and it's not in Denmark this time)!
I knew people who would cash a check for you for 5%. I imagine as a Congress person he doesn't have to do that
