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.

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!

"which he signed into law in 2020." You've got to be fucking kidding
…could open the door to corruption.
“could”
ROFL!
Can things stop. I just... Want things to stop now.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
In how many ways do we need to signal to Trump that he can do whatever he wants, without repercussion?
We're so fucking useless.
Maybe just maybe you guys should have laws that require this instead of ohbits always been done this way. What a riduclulse country.
It is a law. Apparently it's just not enforced.
It is a law. Trump signed it in his first term.
Penalties include
- no transition funding
- no early read-ins to get up to speed
Apparently they don’t care. Congress could probably do something but Senator Warren is shouting into a void
Edit: if you don’t sign an ethics statement promising not to accept ~~bribes~~ donations from unethical sources presenting a strong appearance of conflict of interest, your penalty is you get to accept ~~bribes~~ them
The question isn’t who is going to let me, it’s who is going to stop me.
This is the problem with trying to follow decorum against a fascist.
I mean the universe spent years letting us all know this guy was corrupt as fuck.
Americans voted for corruption.
We WANT corruption.
We'll be no better than Russia by the end of our lives. And it will have been no one else's fault but our own.
Not mine, thanks
same. I'm sick of being lumped in with the vocal minority. which they are. "Americans" as a majority do not want this.
Stop with the precedent. Decorum and tradition means nothing and only Dems keep falling for it and setting themselves arbitrary barriers.
HuNtEr BiDeN!!1!
I appreciate the rare honesty, I guess. Not like it would change anything if he did it.
Thank goodness for the watchdogs! I’m so glad they’re here. What would we do without them?!?!?

Him not signing an ethics pledge is probably the most honest move he did in his lifetime.

Now he did it. IT'S DONE. WE GOT EM. Donald will finally feel the FULL FORCE of our justice system telling him that they are VERY CONCERNED.
Mark your calendars everyone, we have a new holiday.

lol. Watchdogs. Hilarious. Let me know when we have a government again.
Those poor dogs. Someone should call the SPCA and repo.... Defunded you say?
Maybe a network of volunteers can foster care for some, a few have sweet temperaments ?
I can volunteer some pet food

Opens the door to corruption?
The door was burnt for firewood years ago.

It's funny how Brazil (a country that's seen the consequences of authoritarianism) is handling their own attempted coup vs the U.S., we are basically welcoming Trump back after everything he's done.
After the coup attempt he should have been barred from office and arrested. This is such a ridiculous timeline.

Those alarms already had the copper wire stolen from behind them.
The more I see this unfold the more I understand why Trump won. (This is in no way me supporting Trump, the guy deserves the worst this world has to offer!)
Anyways, the establishment and dems are a bunch of toothless liars! If I was some poor chap doing my best to just stay alive in the US I likely also would've have lost hope in my vote mattering. Legally speaking, it quite literally doesn't. The dems regularly shitting on the primaries is a great example of this (and ofc the electoral collage).
Nobody in politics cares about the people. After the 2008 crash, both the reps and dems bailed out all the banks responsible for the mass fraud, while the people that suffered barely got shit.
The vast majority of people didn't vote and some voted Trump out of desperation, wanting any change at all. It's fucking sad.
