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!

That entire article reminds me of when I was told by my very rational and intelligent friends that I was overreacting to Kavanaugh's nomination proceedings - something about how his nomination would backfire.
What a stark contrast compared to what we have to worry about now.
The only backfire that could feasably stop him would come from a poorly maintained rifle.
I still remember Libs telling us to wait on the Mueller report “Trust in the process! These things take time to play out in the legal system!”
Liberals really think fascists are going to play fair and abide by rules.
The USA has precisely two liberals: Bernie and AOC
Don't forget Warren and the rest of The Squad.
Notice how nobody admits that Smiths decision to ask the supreme court to expedite review in the first place backfired...
No its just a prospective mountain of evidence that may or may not exist might sway the public against him 12 to 24 months from now in a 5d legal chess manuever give me a fucking break. This is just pure cope. Direct action is the only answer and everybody who tries it in earnest is just gonna get assassinated.
"Don't freak out, trust the process. Mueller is right now playing 5D chess while Trump is playing checkers. The wheels of justice are slow."
There are some legal experts (and personally safe liberals) that are really devoted to the idea that the system works. If there is a big change in the legal system that on its surface seems horribly harmful, we need to look on the bright side rather than question tearing the system apart, because their whole identity is built around it just being a benign system bending toward justice if you wait long enough and the worst thing that could happen would be people losing faith in the "rule of law" and disrupting the status quo.
There's a joke about Democrats. We form circular firing squads.
If Republicans were Batman they'd ally with the people who killed his parents if it meant getting what they want.
Joe Chill came from humble origins and did more to eliminate the billionaire class than anyone before or since. He's clearly a lefty! /s
No way trump is up after that debate, Biden absolutely crushed it.
Yeah, for sure dude; like you, I usually get high as fuck on crack while watching the debates.
I assume by "crushed it" you mean crushed any chances of winning?
Based.
I'm all for Biden, but c'mon.
The most impressive peacock is the one with the longest, most cumbersome tail. This is because it is able to survive and thrive despite this massive handicap. Think what the world just saw, America is being led by someone who can barely talk. America is ruling the planet despite this. The world just saw the most badass peacock flaunting its gloriously colorful booty. That's why Biden crushed it.
War is peace
we found the unlabeled bot…
I mean that username tho....
Cope
Holy shit, did we just establish a connection to the mirror universe?
Miles Morales over here
I’m sorry, did we see the same thing? Not saying Trump killed it, but Biden definitely didn’t crush it.
