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!

Boy howdy, doing that to the CiC...not gonna be good for him
Edit- CiC is Biden
Waiting to find out the “junior sailor” had some legitimate reason to look it up.
Mostly because that would be funny, and if I’m not lauging I’m crying.
I’ve worked in healthcare, and my immediate thought was training. When showing somebody the ropes, you often have to pull up some sort of sample, and if your business hasn’t set up a special account for that, it is often a real random account that is used for show.
If you aren’t really thinking about it, it is easy to write in a famous name as a random sample, and then accidentally expose that person as a real patient.
The privacy protections in HIPAA are horrible. Anybody sending a request with a fake letterhead from a hospital is likely to get all the records sent directly to them, no questions asked.
Article says they tried searching three times. It was deliberate. They were digging for something.
No doubt—I’m just saying that medical records get accessed all the time for non-official reasons. Just because someone was in the account doesn’t necessarily imply a smoking gun.
This year and this account are definitely suspicious though.
