Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

By Republicans, for Republicans, blamed on everyone else by Republicans.

Interesting how many of these stories are breaking post-election.

I remember when the NYT sat on a story for over a year for the sake of the Bush administration, it was the original NSA wiretapping story whose fallout would lead Snowden to his path to leaking.

Anyway, that's the first thing that's coming to mind here, how much it seems like the media ownership wants to rub in our faces how badly they really did screw us behind our backs and how little we can do now by waiting to dump this kind of stuff once it effectively doesn't matter and our government has been completely taken by conmen.

Media executives right now:

"Though the inspector general's office said it did not find evidence that any officials, even career officials, raised concerns at the time, the report said current and former officials more recently described the press release as "unusual and inappropriate."

Well there it is. Of course the response is going to be "Naturally the BiDeN FbI would say that now!" :/

You mean like the FBI did in 2016? Tell everyone they are re-opening their "investigation" into Hillary's buttery males, but not mention that donvict was under investigation, too?

Speak for yourself! I'm going to die without dignity and snivelling in fear. I'm just waiting for that knock for my Jewish ass or my Indian wife's.
