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.

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.

This is more than I hoped. Smith rewrote the entire Indictment to align with SCOTUS ruling on immunity. Knowing no trial possible before the election, he prepared an expanded brief with redactions hoping it would be unsealed and published before the election. By making it public, it is a fait accompli - Trump can’t appeal its unsealing to SCOTUS and SCOTUS reach down and prevent its publication. This, along with Vance’s refusal to say Trump lost the 2020 election last night on national tv, will be highly impactful.
This will have absolutely zero impact.
Some said it wasn't impactful when Çomey eported on his investigation of Hillary's emails.
James Comey
Correct
Legacy media is owned by like 5 billionaires who have a vested interest in sanewashing Trump . What I mean is that at this point I don't think this will convince anyone who wasnt already convinced.
Who cares? What, are we supposed to give up because it won't convince some people? This is about getting the facts to the american people since the legal system ratfucked everything possible to push this past the election.
Lead story tonight on network news.
IMO, the electorate has been frozen already save for 1-2% and that is a group that can make a difference.
I understand that you want to think that, but all political reporting currently happening is based on the premise that you're wrong.
All political reporting is based on getting views and clicks.
