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!

Where's all the "there's no Russian interference" people at now? Are they doing the mental gymnastics on how they're going to flip this as being the Democrats fault?
Waiting for the hydra's next head to pop up and give them their talking points.
They are not getting paid anymore...
That we know of. This was an extremely simple and silly scheme that was exposed. It wasn't even the first. And it won't be the last. Plus there will be a few slightly more competent ones that we may never know about in our lifetime.
Babylon Bee promptly started posting 'satire' pieces about Clinton whining about Russian interference the moment the news dropped. The right's response appears to be to connect this to the prior cases, which they already got people to believe a false narrative about.
These people were too busy creating some bullshit called Trump derangement syndrome and accusing people of having it. They don't live in reality and want to drag us down with them.
But...but..Putin openly endorsed Komrade Kamala...very strongly. Many say Sir, it is the strongest endorsement a communist has ever made.
No they are saying straight out that on fox news that it's good if Russians help the Republicans win
Wow, I'll be honest, didn't see that one coming. I figured they'd spin it some more.
