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!

Famous my ass

The correct name is Pim Tool, please
Aaaand now they’re exposed, suddenly they’re “victims”
In a statement on X, Pool said if the indictment was true, he was a “victim” and that he and other personalities were “deceived.”
Johnson said in a statement that he is “disturbed by the allegations in today’s indictment, which make clear that myself and other influencers were victims in this alleged scheme.”
Jesus, why are there so many crybullies on the right? “We got caught with our hands in the Russian money bag, but we’re the ones truly being harmed guys!”

Probably because it's worked so great for their leader Trump. It's probably been around longer though. I bet conservative pundits in the 1950s sounded the exact same when whining about desegregation somehow hurting them.
Lol secret? These mother fuckers are open with it. Just like multiple members of congress, musk, peterson,Trump, and all his friends.
Nightmare blunt rotation
In a hype video, Pool said “I worked for several massive corporate news organizations, what did I learn, they lie. Their agenda matters more than the truth.”
Pot. Kettle. Black. Liar.
Update 4:37pm CT: In a statement on X, Pool said if the indictment was true, he was a “victim” and that he and other personalities were “deceived.”

At not point will any of them question why Russia would choose to amplify them.
