- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

Not even in the same universe. Fauci just did his fucking job, the people you've listed have not only broken their oaths of office, most (if not all) have explicitly broken the law. On numerous occasions.
But this is what the right will do. This is what they're setting up for with the "against weaponization of government" bullshit. "See? They all do it!".
As soon as someone on the left attempts to hold these ghouls responsible for literal crimes, they will cry persecution. Most of them are Christians, so they're pros already and have a lifetime of practice.
Idiots who don't pay attention will be told "remember how Fauci refused to answer questions?! They all do this, it's not just Republicans!"
Mark my words.
And we'll once again be on the back foot, as always, having to try to explain that Hegseth literally ordered the murder of something like 200 South American fishermen, and that's not the same as a disease expert trying to handle a pandemic with a toddler as a boss.
And people will literally say, "that didn't actually happen, I would have seen it on TV" or "those were actually confirmed terrorists," or etc etc.
Because they "don't pay attention to politics" yet somehow always end up with the most up to date Fox News talking points.
Funny how that works.
Go ahead and save this comment so someone can make a meme about it when I'm inevitably correct in 3 weeks or months or years or...
This fucking Cassandra-ass shit sucks.
