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!

Donvict and pals are truly soooo butthurt about things like Donvict stealing those classified files and having the feds show up to retrieve them. Same when it comes to asshats like Roger Stone and Bannon facing some extremely mild consequences.
Let it happen, it will backfire mightily.
Remember Luigi's peep walk, with all the cops, and Adams, and that Sociopathic Oligarch Nepo-Baby Police Commissioner? They thought that it would make them look powerful, and instead, it made them look scared and cowardly, while he looked perfectly unperturbed. One caption I saw said: "Christ led to his crucifixion by Roman Centurions." Not exactly the message they thought they were sending.
So let them try, they'll just fuck it up, and look incompetent, as usual.
It's not the same thing. Most people love Luigi so the perp walk did nothing except show how shitty cops are.
No-one gives a shit about Comey. Democrats hate him because he undermined Hillary and basically lead to Trump part one.
Republicans hate him because he didn't gargle Trumps nuts with enthusiasm.
It's the same shit as Bolton. What Trump is doing is wrong and despicable. At the same time Bolton and Comey are pieces of shit...
They'll still fuck it up. I wouldn't be surprised if the judge dismissed it at the first appearance.
Ray refused to participate in this plan, believing it would be inappropriate and highly unusual for a white-collar defendant like Comey, according to the source. He was then suspended for insubordination.
So it's fine to parade a person around after an arrest for political reasons so long as they're a lower-class peasant.
Even when the FBI does the right thing they do it for the wrong reasons.
Of everyone this administration is victimizing, this is one man I do not care about.
If he was the only person they were persecuting, I would probably feel a lot differently.
So while I'm very sad for what this means for our country, I do find a little pleasure in watching an unjust persecution of someone who at least deserves bad things happening to them, because he is in large part to blame for this.
Truly a bittersweet taste of irony.
Perp walks shouldn't be a thing in the first place. At it's best it's bullshit theater to drum up sentiment that someone is guilty pretrial
They're dealing with this with Luigi right now between the perp walks and politics involved there's a non zero chance they get at least a mistrial.
It's considered a war crime to parade around POWs, but totally okay for someone not even convicted of anything.
I just don’t understand Comey’s inexplicable resistance to imperial norms…
And this fixes the economy how? And this helps lower the price of gas, groceries, and housing how? And this stops the war in Ukraine how? And this stops the genocide in Gaza how? And this gets the Epstein files released how?
USA! USA!
Uh, what were we talking about again?
This is how Trumpy pwoves how stwong he is.
These people are all fucking LARPers that have no clue what their agencies are supposed to actually do. It's fucking embarrassing.
Embarrassing, dangerous, destructive, expensive, and shameful.
Leadership at all alphabet agencies have been compromised.
Buddy,
🧑🚀🔫👨🚀
More red meat for the clown show. Trump's handlers are stirring the pot so hard they might make a water spout.
I love that people are pushing back, all over the government. The DoJ, who usually gets grand jury indictments 98% of the time, can't indict their ham sandwiches.
These scumbags are jackals, and the more they try to overstep their bounds, and fail, the more the citizens see them for the weak dummies that they really are.
Eventually we'll have enough, and we'll force them to stop. And they will stop, because at their core, they are extreme cowards, trying to cover it with bluster. Once they see that we're all onto them, and we're now angry enough to crush them ruthlessly, then they'll surrender, and start begging for mercy, which they will never receive.
The next chance we get, we won't make the mistake of expecting them to acting in good faith. We will just start prosecuting and imprisoning anyone who is a national security threat.
Save the perp walk for the one who needs it.
The FBI has always been the Secret Police. Their just upset that their regularly scheduled program is being run against one of their own. Damage to FBI morale, leadership, and ability are good actually. Do the CIA next.
Fuck Jim Comey nobody gives a fuck about that guy
"oh look how tough we are, we're attacking our former allies, this is the left actually"
