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!

Add it to the pile of shit.
DoJ is on it as soon as prosecuting crimes doesn't look political.
Legality literally doesn't matter anymore
I know. I still had to point it out.
Welcome to the banging our heads against the wall club, helmets are on the left.
As an edit: I didn't mean to be condescending there are just a LOT of helmets still hanging there
"Helpful" and "shitty" have always been what matters anyway.
What's the crime? Honest question, I'm not being facetious.
Presumably (if I had access to Putin) I could phone him and ask him to not escalate the war. Why is that illegal?
Guessing they meant as a violation of the Logan act. As he is not in office he isn't supposed to be negotiating with foreign governments. The U.S. is providing military aid, and in truth not that he cares, but he isn't up to date on U.S. Intel. Maybe they'll tell us it was another law though
Hahahahahahahahahaha.
“Tells”.
I can’t even. I hope my downvoter voters appreciate the absurdity of the media portraying this dynamic of your dear leader.
Who are your downvoters? Looks like hardly anything you've posted in the last 24 hours has had more than one downvote. A couple of comments on China had slightly more.
Maybe I don't get downvotes from specific instances over here on Fedia.
fedia rules, lemmy drools
It was more in anticipation tbh.
I've been pushing my own envelope lately regarding anger and keep expecting a smackdown.
Well, when I was young I told my father to make it stop snowing. Eventually it did, and I gave him full credit.
dear leader
Isn't that ePiC slam reserved for those who actually like their leader at the bare minimum?
I'm sure Putin will mention this in Trump's next performance review.
"Don't escalate anything, we'll have them crippled, starving and freezing by February and you can walk right in"
Just to say it out loud: in the days after the election and call, Putin is amassing 50,000 troops for a big push. This is propaganda to make his eventual "negotiate peace by letting Russia keep whatever they have at the date of cease-fire" plan more palatable.
