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!

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Anthony Scaramucci, who spent a short amount of time as White House communications director under former President Trump, said more Republicans don’t speak up about their opposition to Trump due to not wanting threats to their life.
“Well, they probably don’t like death threats, Nicolle, I think we could probably start there,” Scaramucci told MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House” host Nicolle Wallace on Thursday when she asked him about why some of those who have interacted with Trump directly find it hard to speak up about the “danger” he poses, in a clip highlighted by Mediaite.
“And so … that could be the number one reason, but … I think with the generals, it has to do with their respect for the dignity of the Constitution and not wanting to bring military leadership into the political fray,” Scaramucci continued.
“[L]et me just talk about my colleagues and friends, because we’re sort of like in this Trump recovery unit together, which would include [former Defense Secretary Mark Esper], [retired Gen. Mark Milley, former chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff],” Scaramucci said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” last Friday.
Scaramucci also talked about a “big” fight he had with Trump during his brief stint in the White House on the topic of “the institution of the presidency.”
“It’s the only job in the country, as every one of us know, where all of the eligible voters get to vote on it, and therefore you’re president for everybody.”
