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!

A recent deal between an Emirati investment firm and a cryptocurrency company tied to the Trumps could endanger national security, Warren said.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren is urging a federal watchdog to investigate a recently announced deal between a Trump-backed cryptocurrency company and an investment firm tied to the government of the United Arab Emirates.

Warren and Sen. Jeff Merkley of Oregon sent a letter to Jamieson Greer, acting director of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, on Monday outlining their concerns.

The deal in question concerns the Emirati investment firm MGX, the crypto exchange Binance, and World Liberty Financial, a crypto company that lists President Trump and his sons as members of its team.

Like Deutsche Bank, the crypto trail could lead into Russia.

Whaaaaaaat? Trump is taking bribes from foreign countries using crypto currency? Really? Who could have known?!?! Except every fucking person with common sense. Trump is a traitor. He needs impeached, tried, and then either imprisoned for life or executed.

Start combing through open secrets for Trump donors who gave $5000 or more, cross reference their names with property records and put together a list of as many people/locations as you can. Stock up on supplies, get ready

Uh, 5k? Your biggest hitlist demographic is senile old widows, the trifecta of Trump’s favorite target donor groups.

Killing them would not only be evil, it would only serve Trump. The top donors use super PACs and give way more than 5k, but the list of elites backing Trump and toppling democracies globally requires no doxxing, because they own public companies.

Do not kill working class Republican voters.

Alternative headline: Senator Warren requests government funded relocation to ~~Venezuela~~. El Salvador.

This is what I get for commenting near the end of my 8 hour shift at the end of my last 10 minute break after only getting a few hours of sleep the day before.

El Salvador.... To quote Forest Gump, I'm not a smart man.
