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!

Weeks after the epic breakup between the president and the world’s richest man, Musk has continued to snipe at Sergio Gor, the director of the presidential personnel office, who he believes fueled his falling out with Trump.

But on Friday, the former head of the DOGE ramped up his attacks, writing on X: “He deliberately lied about where he was born on Federal forms. That’s a serious crime.”

“Gor is breaking the law,” Musk later added.

The Daily Beast has reached out to the White House about Musk’s latest comment, which came in response to a series of posts by Ukraine-born American race car driver Igor Sushko accusing Gor of being a “Russian spy.”

Didn't fElon orchestrate the smash-and-grab of several federal agencies? He might not want to talk about federal crimes too much, lest people start getting ideas about what he has done...

Who isn’t a Russian spy in this administration?

[–] [email protected] 34 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Mostly Russian assets, very few actual spies.

They're definitely asses, you got that right!

Well, considering that Trump himself committed federal crimes...

And everything Musk did under DOGE was illegal. Still waiting the adults in the room to step up, but I fear there aren't any.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 hours ago

They locked them all out.

Fuck the entire Trump cabinet and anyone who ever supported them, and continues to support them, Musk included.

There's no damn way I'm siding with Musk because he's poking at Trump. They're both the worst humanity has to offer.

The vanity of these headline princesses revolts me.

“PAY ATTENTION TO MEEEE!!!”

Them laws yes, now you want them laws eh Musky Boi? See how that now rings hollow as fuck?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 34 minutes ago

Well, is Gor a billionaire, though? I'm thinking fElon is thinking the law should only apply to the non-billionaire class....
