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!

I'm pretty sure why Joe Rogan got 200 million from Spotify is because he made a deal with the elites. Everyone was saying that show was not worth that much but now he can see all these politicians and billionaires he has on it and then it answers that question. Everything is rigged. It reminds me of that movie skull and Bones as soon as that one character joined The secret society got $100 million dropped into his account.
Ugh. Gillibrand is the one that led the charge against Franken.
She can go fuck herself. Same with her privileged son.
I think executions are in order, not just autoforniation.
Death by self snu snu!
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no senator's son, son
Then throw her in jail also. We don’t give a fuck. If Dems are corrupt criminals, then they can fuck themselves also. Anyone breaking the law from a position of power should go the fuck to prison.
The problem is it’s not illegal
I'm rarely going to fight too hard on throwing any of our politicians in jail, but are there any actual concerns on legality going on here?
Would be nice to see some more regulation here, but this sounds perfectly legal.
there any actual concerns on legality going on here?
Yes: many of us are concerned (or fucking furious) about the fact that none of this obviously awful bullshit is even illegal.

That's the main problem, yes.
What didn't you guys get thirty million dollars after you graduated from Stanford University?

TL;DW: Kids get picked at Stamford and given money. It's a thing, and a way for grifters to get early access to people who are likely to have "access" in the future.
And they say the first million is the hardest...
"Who was it that said that the first million is the hardest? Was it Hitler?"

It is, if you are starting from scratch. They also say "money makes money", which is also true. We need a nepobaby saying.
No, I'm sure this 22 year old recent grad's startup is worth $300 million. The kid has a strong track record, what's not to believe in?
Exactly... he started life making the right choice of being born rich; then he continued staying alive and ensuring use of privilege for an uninterrupted period of 22 years!
Damed right, he can now sell stories of being self made an how easy it is!
Anyone could just go beat the shit out of her kid at school tomorrow. Anyone could do that
Anyone
But he graduated
Location irrelevant
Ivy League is expensive because students become part of a network. He is now part of the network. What else does he need for a startup?
