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!

Do you even know what structuring means lol?
Do you know what illegal means lol?
Let me help you out, friend;
Structuring is when criminals make transactions intentionally splitting larger amounts into a series of smaller sums to avoid scrutiny from law enforcement or compliance obligations. In other words, criminals strategically structure deposits just under the threshold to prevent unwanted attention.
The act itself is illegal.
In the waning days of 2023, the Biden administration twice invoked a rarely used emergency authority to bypass congressional review of more than $250 million in weapons sales to Israel. The two transfers, one for 120mm tank shells and the other for 155mm artillery shells, come amidst growing concern over the severe humanitarian toll of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza and mounting criticism of the Biden administration’s seemingly unrestrained and unconditioned material support for the war effort.
I know what structuring is. And Biden is absolutely NOT doing that. So I’m here to call you out of your new flavor of the week misinformation campaign.
I think trump should have been locked up and hanged for treason. I also think Biden needs to face justice for knowingly supplying arms to a country engaged in genocide.
Do you see the difference between us?
Yeah, you’re playing the “bOtH siDeS aRe eQuAlLy bad” propaganda, claiming you hate Trump knowing no one here is voting for him anyway- therefore it’s safe for you to bag on him in bad faith so you can make your points that no one should vote for Biden, which is seemingly your purpose here.
And I’m there pointing that out.
That’s the difference between us.
You have no clue what’s going on with Biden and the agreements he’s made, despite the numerous people that have explained it to you time and again. This proves you have no intent to even TRY to understand what’s going on, which proves you’re here for non other reason than to dilute the water and spread misinformation.
Okay, buddy 👍
