Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Wasn't she literally confirmed to be a Russian Asset?

they all are at this point.

They may all be assets, but they are not all confirmed to be so.

Does it matter now? Your new administration will sell any information for the right price, which sometimes is just being nice to trumpy boy.

From the Washington Examiner no less. Let's see if this conservative opposition persists through the seating and confirmation votes. I'm not confident.

They're fine with whatever Trump wants to do to the American people, but they'll do anything to make sure the Empire isn't endangered.

Gabbard has served in uniform and deserves respect for doing so.

Deserves scorn if anything.

I remember something along the lines of supporting and defending the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. If anything, her time in the military should bring her greater shame because she chose to break that oath on top of being a generally shitty person.

He's going to adjurn both houses to make his recess appointments and they'll let him do it.

[–] Ioughttamow@fedia.io 4 points 1 month ago

If she gets confirmed, what are the chances she falls out a window?

"Must" in a headline means "won't."
