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!

One side uses a distraction. It gets full media attention. People get involved. People get angry. People start blaming each other. Then, the other side counters with a distraction. It gets even more heated. This time it's personal. There might even be consequences. Maybe...
Why the fuck are you eating all this rotting shit those out of touch, self-absorbed, greedy, attention-seeking Partisans are serving you?
Because they're the people that craft our laws? Why shouldn't we care?
Yea, naked pictures of a politicant are vital to your legal wellbeing.
And that's how you took that comment?
That's the way it was written so... Yeah? Hunter isn't a politician and this isn't an investigation it's political grandstanding and virtue signaling. Does anyone else remember when republicans lost their shit when dems sorta implied they would go after Trump's family for abusing the white house to make literal billions or in the open?
I'm not a US citizen. I don't care for your celebrity obsessions and gossip. I just don't understand why shit like this is making news, let alone being part of your political life. Or lawcrafting... Let me remind you, we are not talking about making laws, we are talking about naked pictures of some dude...
Shown in the house floor by one of our representatives.
Yes, and by giving it any kind of attention you're basically promoting this kind of behavior in your political institutions. And then, after few years you wonder why your political landscape is full of reality-tv-show clowns. It's "Keeping up with Kardassians" but with diplomatic immunity. And I'm talking about both of your political spectra, not just the one easy target.
