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!

NYPost is a News Corp/Rupert Merdoch rag that runs hate and hit pieces. I wouldn’t even wipe my ass with it.

Okay, so did JOE BIDEN do those things? No? Then stfu.

Great, let's nail him, and set the standards there. his position as a family relation of an official will mean that we must also look at the financial dealings of other relations of officials, like Ginny Thomas, kushner, Mr pelosi, the rest of the supreme Court, and most of Congress.

The attorney general is going to need a bigger budget to have the staff to deal with this...

Agreed, no preferential treatment for anyone related or associated with political representatives.

[–] nothing@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Yes please, both sides. Get after it and stop handing out favors.

I can't say "elected", but the last time he worked in government was when George W. Bush put him on the board of Amtrak.

Good thing he’s irrelevant, or we’d have to do nothing about it, like the GOP did for Trump’s hatchlings.

Was this written by someone not a native English speaker? The title is really weirdly worded.
