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!

She's still in office. She's still a Russian stooge. I don't care if she's humiliated. I want her out of office. The rest is bullshit.

That's because she never actually gave a fuck about wars.

People act like spies don't exist today. They do. She's a Russian spy and it all makes sense in this context.

And even those who are not technically spies are funded by Russian money for saying the stupidest shit, and they know the money stops if they start acting like human beings. I'm sure there are many Russian operatives who are not even aware they are on a Russian payroll. They're just too stupid and willfully ignorant to understand what they are doing.

The Russians call them useful idiots. Trump's usefuli diot codename is likely Krasnov.

Much deserved. Everyone who sold their soul to MAGA should face the same. Congressional hearings for now; criminal trials later. Unless, of course, they decide to turn and provide useful information and testimony against someone above them.

There is no humiliation, she kneew what she signed up for

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

Humiliation implies she felt shame. These people don’t feel shame.
