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!

If they actually do it, they'd have to present evidence, and they don't have any.
It's a lose/lose situation for the party. But the hardcore trumpets get points demanding it, so they're gonna keep demanding it.
I don't think they need evidence. They just want the headlines so they can point to them later on. They did the same thing with Hillary Clinton. Decades of poisoning the well so that when she ran for President they would rerun the greatest hits. Millions spent on investigating benghazi and it turned out they had asked for more money for security and the Repubs voted it down.
And that's exactly why Trump got impeached the first time: he wanted an investigation to point to from the Ukrainian government and knew it wouldn't matter to Republicans if it had merit or not.
I mean, Hillary was a terrible choice, though... I voted for her to oppose Donald Trump, but I only did that out of fear he might win. I was right to vote, but I hated doing it.
To be fair, I also hated voting for Joe Biden... But I hated that vote for Hillary more. God, we really do have shit democratic candidates... No wonder the country is suffering.
Seems like the longer your service, the more you owe favors to everyone and the more money you get for those favors. I can't remember the exact figures, but MTG from Georgia went from in debt to a millionaire in 2 years or whatever. Annual salary is 174k
Anybody that wants to get shit done usually makes deals with the devil and Hillary was corporate as fuck. If your donors don't want anything passed that might affect their money, they get paid to stall, cry communism, and vote against everything.
