    Jesus christ you know it’s bad when you agree with John fucking Bolton. Those two are, at best, treasonous Russian assets.

        There’s pretty likely to be compromising information on Gaetz, so that could qualify.

        Gabbard is a hindu facist, she’s part of that international right-wing reactionary coalition that formed after the arab spring freaked all the authoritarian leaders from Modi to Putin.

        Unless the OP believes that John Bolton is comprised of more than one person, they were probably talking about the two that Bolton cited as needing an investigation, not Bolton himself.

            Check my reply above. I think there were some words left out in the original reply. The Russian assets they referred to was probably not Bolton himself, if you re-read the OP comment.

      That’s why Biden would be well within his rights as the president to have them all hung. But he’s just going to let the fascists in with open arms.

              Yes. They’re getting hung by the state. The operation will add up to five inches.

        That’s a political bomb right there. I mean it either slams the brakes on fascism or the accelerator. And that’s not to say they’ll stop trying to reshape the nation. Our institutions are only as strong as our leadership and right now having a spine is an immediate disqualifier.

    When Trump does something anymore, I look to see what he is doing to emulate Hitler.

    Here’s my conspiracy theory right now:

    He’s trying to choose placements that will either a)litmus test current Republican senators so he can get his base to replace them and/or b) setting them up such that he can dismantle the uncooperative lying Senate that is blocking America’s will.

    It’s probably as simple as hiring the biggest Russia kiss asses, but I still have my fears

        Yeah. There was talk about using the 25th Amendment at the end of Trump’s first term. That won’t happen with this cabinet.

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.

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.

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.
