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!

If there are so many straight up eyewitnesses to Gaetz's pedophilic actions it makes me wonder what he gets up to when no one's watching.
Essentially everybody in the cabinet will be a rapist in one form or another. This is a given since people elected a child rapist into office. It simply won’t matter. Instead, ask the question what Gaetz will do in office that is bad for voters. Playing on the man cannot help us anymore.
meanwhile the Q crowd refuses to believe the simple truth is true, preferring to think it's all a setup
This is the beauty of being a conspiracy theorist, it gives you free reign to believe anything you want.
Evidence comes out that someone you support has done something bad? "It's a set up and/or manufactured! Where's the proof!?" Same evidence comes out that someone you oppose has done something bad? "See! I told you so. When will people start listening to me!?! Of course it's real because I think they are running defense for this person." No evidence evidence exists for your theory? "((They)) are very good at hiding it!" Evidence that kind-of-sort-of-almost-supports-your-claim-if-you-look-at-it-at-just-the-right-angle-in-just-the-right-light (but not really, it just is vaguely similar) supports something you said earlier. "HA! i told you."
You can always view/ignore the facts in such a way to confirm your position, if the facts are secondary to the narrative.
