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!

Why is he a piece of shit? Seems he's a middlingly-successful lawyer who had an addiction problem, just like tens of millions of other people. Being an addict doesn't make you a bad person, just like having the flu doesn't.
I don’t even know that he had an addiction problem. He had a doing cocaine and getting caught by a bunch of hypocritical cunts problem. He also had a having a big dick and getting it photographed and spread on the Internet by Marjorie Taylor Green problem. None of that amounts to an actual drug or sex addiction problem other than a bunch of shitty Republicans made his private life public. by any other standard, the guy just knows how to have a good time. And nothing pisses off Republicans more than another person enjoying themselves.
I firmly believe that those who can use drugs responsibly should be allowed to do so, regardless of any stupid antiquated laws. just because some Republicans have some ridiculously hypocritical and outrageously outmoded belief that imbibing any chemical, other than water is some horrific weakness doesn’t mean that any other person, particularly rational people, should agree with it. Nor should anyone hold the same standard just because some crazy fascists want to use it as fuel for a character, assassination and impeachment of his father.
Pretty sure it's full on addiction. I remember the "bombshell" voice-mail fox got to smear Joe Biden. It was so poignant and humanizing they dropped that shit quickly cause it made the Biden's look good.
