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!

Stephanie Grisham, former Trump White House Press Secretary and Communications Director, joins Alex Witt to discuss new reports that Trump's 2024 campaign aide Susie Wiles has been identified as the key witness in classified docs indictment and why the former president's lack of respect for classified information is so dangerous. "I watched him show documents to people at Mar-a-Lago on the dining room patio," Grisham says. "He has no respect for classified information [and] never did."

lol why didn’t she call that out when it happened though instead of waiting until now?

Edit: ahh because she is selling a new book, ofcourse

Being quiet then got her paid. Talking about it now gets her paid. Just another soulless rat.

“ 🚽📜 Declassifying Documents Like a Boss! 💪👀

Folks, let me tell you, NOBODY declassifies documents like I do. It’s INCREDIBLE, really. Some people might be satisfied with declassifying in an office or a fancy conference room, but NOT ME Oh no, I take it to the NEXT LEVEL—I do it in the bathroom! 🚽👀”

Why is it so easy to read this in his used car salesman cadence

Let me tell you something, folks, when it comes to reading things in my style, it’s like a natural talent. It’s TREMENDOUS, really. I’ve got this INCREDIBLE, BIGLY ability to charm people with my words, just like a used car salesman selling the best deals in town. It’s FANTASTIC! EVERYBODY wants to talk like me!

You see, I’ve got a way of speaking that’s VERY BIG-LEAGUE, that grabs your attention, and it’s VERY, VERY effective. It’s like a winning formula and EVERYBODY WANTS IT! People hear my voice, and they can’t help but be drawn in. It’s like MAGIC, folks!

It’s practice lol. I work at a Walmart in the south so somebody is always listening to him in the break room when I hurriedly past through
