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!

Boy. Isn't this a big one in the Hunter Biden conspiracy?
The big thing from Congressional Oversight Republicans, the one thing that seemed like evidence of the bribery they keep claiming, was that they got the "FD-1023" report of an informant that alleged the $5 million to Biden. Chuck Grassley put out a press release about it.
And now it appears like it was just some guy who lied about it.
It doesn't matter now, because it's already damaged Biden's reputation, which was their only goal
Same thing they did to Hilary with Benghazi.
It's literally become the Republican playbook. Spread scandal without evidence, play it up in the media, lie profusely, then pretend it never happened while moving on to the next fake scandal.
“Joe Biden stole my pic-a-nic basket and then forgot about it!” - Marjorie Taylor Greene, probably
Also Greene, "I couldn't find any pictures of Biden's dong so I used MS Paint to Photoshop his face on Hunter's body and blew it up on poster board for CSPAN!"
Benghazi actually happened though, and was an intelligence failure. Clinton shouldn’t have given the Republicans the soundbite they wanted, but here we are
This seems like the Kremlin ‘discovered’ this source (coincidentally during Trumps reign, no relation) and got him to make up some shady sounding shit to influence US domestic politics
They went to war on the say so of some random guy insisting Iraq had wmd so not super shocked about this.
Not a random guy, an Iraqi exile who really was an Iranian agent.
Good point.
