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!

The (R) grants immunity from anything happening. See all the far worse things others have done, actual breaches of federal laws and national security, with not even a slap on the wrist.

Yep. I mean… Matt Gaetz just out here raping kids scot-free. Even trafficked with zero repercussions.

Matt Gaetz? The child rapist and child sex trafficker Matt Gaetz? The Matt Gaetz that rapes and kidnaps children?

Each and every Republican that claims to care about the well being of America's children are bald faced liars.

I think we just misinterpret the intentions of Republicans and the child rapist Matt Gaetz. You see, they only care that more children are born because then other Republicans like child rapist Matt Gaetz can have more targets.

His big shiny forehead deflects any responsibility

Boy, would be nice if Kamala uses the whole Immunity From Criminal Prosecution On Official Acts to jail every one of those fuckers once elected

One of the few cases of Cops Abusing Power I'd be for
