Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

All the ethics reports and claims, including the one I filed

I'm not against publishing the claims, but I hope it's clear what was claimed and what was investigated. Additionally what the results of those investigations were.

If MTG claimed something and that investigation went nowhere, I want it to be clear that no information was found. That isn't to say something didn't happen, the investigation isn't perfect, but I want a fully transparent report.

My hope: she got SNUBBED for a cabinet nomination and is too stupid to see this ends her maga career.

They're not high hopes but morons are dangerous.

As with anything else, MTG: Source?

Until then you're just bluff and bluster for attention.

There's some context here. She's blackmailing GOP members if they don't fall in line behind Trump. That threat would be meaningless if it were untrue.

Kind of like when someone gets passed over for a job as a Sandwich Artist, and their mom comes into the store at lunchtime and says "HIRE MY KID OR I'M BLOWING THIS PLACE UP!"

I’ve had fake-helicopter parents (who were lawyers of the ambulance chasing variety,) insist that we (I,) was discriminating against his son because he was black.

The kid kept calling in asking questions like “I don’t understand this form” and “what do I put in this box” for the cover letter sheet.

Sometimes there’s some confusion where English isn’t their first language, so I’m happy to help. But not knowing what goes into the name box… or date of birth…

Yeah. No. His dad decided to start a lawsuit. I remember our lawyers playing back the judge’s decision for me. They opened up with a motion to dismiss citing one of the phone calls, and that being able to read and write/type English is a requirement.

Judges reply?

“Yeah, so whats your hourly rate?” (He made the plaintif- or rather his dad- pay for it.)

These past two months have been nothing but whiplash for me, and I see it isn't ending any time soon.

To paraphrase Vizzini:

“Wait until they get going! Now where were they?”
