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!

Its amazing how much they hated him and how normal he was to the point they never even got an impeachment thing really going even though they try to impeach at the drop of a hat.
I mean, I only every noticed quick impeachments happening after Trump was rightfully (in my opinion) impeached, and Biden took office. Since then, it has all been retaliation for impeaching Trump.
Clinton was impeached for giving an intern a cigar.
Clinton should have been impeached for the ridiculous power imbalance but Repubs are pretty comfortable with rapey situations and full-on rapists so they went with something else.
that happened from a side comment during an investigation he was completely cleared for.
Only Republicans would say someone is unfit to run the country because they fucked their intern, and then hand the keys to a idiot so that he can fuck the country. I was making the point that the Republicans have always been like this.
well that was not the reason. it was honestly sorta stupider. it was because during an investigation of questionable merit to begin with he lied to congress about his relationship with his intern. That is what they impeached on when the investigation completely cleared him of the original thing (whitewater).
