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 take that seriously when the GOP starts complaining about all the other rich people who regularly do shit like this and face no consequences.
So you’re against equal application of the law if the perpetrator is prominent enough. Yeah, this is why Democratic politics are nearly as corrupt as the Republicans.
Ah, so this is the part where you make a ridiculous strawman and we all laugh at you. Got it.
You literally just said you waive away his corruption because the other guys are more corrupt. It is not in any way a straw man it is your stated position. Maybe stop treating this like a game rich people play.
Literally did not say that, nice try tho
You’re taking Democratic corruption seriously only after Republicans eliminate their corruption. You are a defender and champion of corruption, just as long as it’s people in your party.
The fact that you think that’s different from partisan corruption basically everywhere is laughable.
Are you a child? I try not to get into arguments with children.
I'm not referring to the corruption itself. I'm just not taking your words or your concern seriously. I don't think you actually care about corruption. All you care about is making Democrats look bad.
I'll take your words seriously after you start dealing with corruption in your own party.
Anyway, you probably understood all that, you're just intentionally misconstruing my words in a poor attempt to make democrats look bad, because that's all you people can ever do. It's your whole party platform. That and oppressing minorities.
Oh fuck off
The persecution complex that both parties have inculcated is fucking ridiculous. I say, “fuck the GOP” I say reps are more corrupt than dems and you’re out here with the, “you only complain about democratic corruption bc you hate democrats.”
People like you on both sides of the aisle are why the rich are looting this country. Wake the fuck up you simple bitch.
Straight up just calling me a Republican. The idea that people can just be principled and against partisan hackery and corruption is just to alien for your pea brain to fathom, huh?
Nice try, shill. We all got wise to your bullshit after 2016. "muh both sides" lol
Please go back to Reddit where you can exist with oblivious milquetoast lukewarm liberals like yourself.
I’ve been a committed leftist since I was a teenager but go off with your impeccable sixth sense of dipshit tomfuckery. Bet you like James Carville lmaoooo
Oh and I just wanted to point out that you’re so thoroughly propagandized to supporting your team’s corruption that you literally invented a person and twisted an argument to justify the fact that you approve of blatant systemic corruption.
Get bent, dickweed. Thanks for teaching me brain worms aren’t ideologically specific, I guess.
