For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.

Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only

▪️ Title must match the article headline

▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)

▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.

Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication-No Fox News or equal), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.

Rule 4: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

Rule 7. No conjecture type posts (this could, might, may, etc.). Only factual. If the headline is wrong, clarify within the body.

Since I've seen a lot of comments skeptical on the Russia ties to Trump, I opened my bookmark vault for you to see here. It's not organized and has other stuff in there. (sh.itjust.works)

The need for validation made me break open the vault, lol. You asked for it:

I know I’m going to get downvoted to hell for this, But without any commentary, I don’t know what the first link to ProRepublica proves that there is a tie between Trump and Russia.

I was planning to send this to some of my sceptical friends, but if the first link contains hundreds of hours of random footage of an attempted insurrection, they will probably not be motivated enough to click the other links.

I’m not saying it shouldn’t be included, but I think it matters which links you put in the top three spots because that’s going to determine whether people are convinced or not. I think the last two links probably might be better suited for being the first links.

I agree with OP that you don’t want to argue after you dump the links, but then you have to make sure the links are really solid.

I meant to choose a link for each topic you're trying to prove, not send the entire list. You're right though, if that's what you're doing. Feel free to copy and paste the links you think will help convince your friends.
