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!

Thank fuck, maybe egg prices will come down now.

Oh good! I hope this is what helps lower the price of gas and groceries.

Whatever happened to releasing all those JFK and mlk files?

Ohh, right. Important things like destroying America.

Also there probably isn't anything exciting in the files. The mystery is gone once they're released. Before they're released you can just make stuff up.

Stuff like that is always a distraction. They know their base are a bunch of conspiracy theorists and morons who will willingly throw away their rights for the promise of stuff like that.

aww fuck... considering the obvious motives of the epstein file redaction/coverup... is it totally infeasible trump had some part in those assassinations.

Pardon him from what exactly? He was never convicted of any crime.

Actually, he did spend some time in jail after pleading guilty to tax evasion. Seems like the guy Trump would want to pardon. Although it seems silly to pardon someone who plead guilty.

Pete does belong in the Hall of Fame, but that's besides the point. His tax charge isn't what was keeping him out.

Actually there's an accusation that may have to do with why trump likes the guy (even if he wasn't charged for it)

Trump has lost his marbles.

Can’t lose what you never had.
