politics
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!

crazy how american media is not reporting on this traitor
I mean, it says right at the top of the article:
Should it be reported on more? Absolutely. But it's disingenuous to say American media is not reporting it.
I would guess they mean american media in general instead of just one of them.
The general public didn't read the WSJ, and being behind a paywall hasn't increased the number of people who do.
It's a WSJ exclusive from 9 last night. It's not surprising there are not a lot of articles about it yet. The media sucks there is no reason to bitch about nothing.
Probably also that it's been a full two years plus and nobody's said anything while he's raking in billions from the US government for sensitive national programs including the Ukranian army's internet connectivity.
Is Wall Street Journal not American?
A banana is not a bunch of bananas. Right?
WSJ is not "American media" by the same token.
It seems kind of silly to expect all media companies to immediately cover a story that broke less than 12 hours earlier.
But it's starting to happen. Happy?
Are Elon Musk and Vladimir Putin Talking? https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/25/business/dealbook/musk-putin-trump.html?smid=nytcore-android-share
Sort of? If its been ongoing for two years and we already know they’re in contact it seems like corporate news is either incompetent because they didn’t think to ask one question (“how often do they talk”) or they’ve been sitting on the story for - reasons.
... It's not the Berlin wall? What other lies have I been told??????????!?!!!¿‽
