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!

What!? How did I miss that?
Are you telling me he was gone and now Trump has brought him back... what the fuck.
This must be how Marty McFly felt. This really is a Biff timeline
Biff is based on donvict, because it's been known for decades just what a total asshole he is.

Oh I know. And it came true.
They announced it at some off hour, specifically hoping it would fly under the radar.
But the dots are really simple to connect.
The swamp gets ever deeper and deeper.
He has to resign to be AG. But yes resigning on just the nom, with the ethics report set to be released Friday, does make the whole thing stink. Especially given that Trump is transactional.
I’m guessing this is somewhat of a Hail Mary play for his career given that the walls are closing in on the ethics probe and him making plenty of enemies.
I believe it happened right after Trump's AG news was announced. It also conveniently came right before an ethics report was about to be released on him after the investigations finished
Damn I would have been very happy about that.
Now there's only sadness.
They will vote tomorrow whether to release the report, so they still could
Even if they do, im not expecting anything to come from it.
Oh, fair. I'm just trying to be optimistic lol. I hate this
You and me both, my friend. On both points.
