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!

Not only that.
But their primary witness and source of information in all this, was a Russian operative, and these people were warned in 2020 by our own intelligence operatives that the information they were getting from him was sketchy at best and stunk of Russian operations.
And even now, their star witness and the very foundational block they have built all this on has been arrested, has fully outright admitted the lies and that he was spreading lies on Russian orders, and Republicans are still like "Just because the core of our case is gone doesnt mean the core of our case is gone!"
Because its not about rule of law. Its not about whats right. Its not about investigations. Its not about these imaginary payments
Its about twisting the mechanisms of government into a Republican political campaign to hurt Biden to the benefit of Trump. Its about slinging shit at the wall 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to see what sticks, and to flood the airwaves and news media with a torrent of bullshit in the hopes that just a tiny fraction of it will stick in someones head and influence their vote away from Democracy.
It’s already been downplayed as him only having a very minor role in whole thing.
