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!

Wow. I just looked up Markwayne. An unqualified moron. He'll fit right in. I'm sure his experience as a college dropout and plumbing business is the perfect life skills to bring to the DHS. Well... It is a shit show.
Don't forget his storied MMA career!
The irony of a Native American running DHS is not lost on me.
That motherfucker far removed from being a Native American. I have non existing grandkids who will have more native American blood then he does.
It said he has his associates degree! That's hardly a dropout....And he's an "entrepreneur who has started multiple businesses." Perfect guy to lead the DHS.
Associates degree was still after dropping out according to the wiki.
Not fired, she's getting promoted to Team America Western Hemisphere Police.
Team America Western Hemisphere Police.
I don't know if this irony or not anymore
Yes fired, she was removed from her position and assigned to another. It's sugar-coated but it's still fired.
That's not what fired means. If you still have a job, you haven't been fired. Demoted, reassigned, sure. Fired would mean she doesn't have a job with the company anymore.
Not in Trump's world. He "re-assigns" rather than fire because firing implies he made a mistake in hiring. He learned this in his first term when his constant firing drew attention.
Now do Bondi
About time. Not like Mullin is gonna be any better though.
Don’t they need to go through a confirmation process, too?
Ppl that execute their own dogs shouldn’t be in charge of anyone that can execute humans.
Ppl that execute their own dogs
That's why she's being put in charge of PETA.
Got asked about a shady-ass contract, says Trump knew all about it, gets an immediate denial by Trump and gets replaced within a couple days. If there’s a more obvious way to telegraph that the contract was indeed shady as shit, I can’t think of it. Senate better not let this go.
Mullin is such a piece of shit, I don't think it's an upgrade.
We get 2 first names for the price of one!
Fired because of stuff she's been doing, or stuff she hasn't been doing?
Noem repeatedly suggested the president was aware of the campaign and signed off on it.
Oh, that makes sense. Fired for a petty reason by the hurt snowflake in charge.
