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!

I'm shocked the party of pedophilia would keep this under wraps.
Shocked, I tell you!
^^ok ^^I'm ^^not ^^shocked ^^at ^^all
The committee is 5/5, Democrat/Republican. Care to rethink that comment?
Look, these people are playing a game we barely understand, at a level we can't comprehend, at stakes we don't understand.
Best guess from my dumbass? They let the "hacked leak" do the dirty work. The facts get out, but no one can point a finger at the committee. Bonus: A "leak" won't be taken as seriously as an official release.
And as to why Gaetz got busted in the first place? (He was my Congressman, so I've been following along closer than most.) He was a rich frat-boy who got into federal office long before he was ready to play. FFS, he was showing his "conquest" fuck pics on the House floor. Dumbass should have learned to play in the state House before he went national. He was a child among wolves, and now they're eating him.
Anyway, they're meeting again on 12/05. Let's see if they have the balls to release the official report.
A game we barely understand? Bullshit.
It’s a game of self preservation. It always is and has been. There’s nothing more to it. Preserve your power, make deals, and find ways to compromise and make yourself come out of top while making those that supported you have a win.
