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!

Is this not very clearly a public demonstration of how absolutely pwned he is by Russia? Am I reading too much into this? This feels like the kind of thing that gets revealed with dramatic musical effects in a spy movie when someone looks over and sees a headline or a news clip.

They are trying to incite a civil war next.

They will reveal they stole the election and a civil war will start.

lying on a blue carpet with the U.S. seal, as though the editors of the men's magazine knew something in advance about the future of their model."

They are just confirming she's their asset.

I assume the plantation text messages are part of them stoking a civil war.

Wouldn’t surprise me if they hacked a bunch of voting machines.

Still I’m really curious what trumps response will be.

Some Republican fuckwad will screenshot your comment and use that to argue that Democrats are not accepting the election results. I'm not disagreeing with you, just expressing my endless cynicism, newly expanded Wednesday morning

Not necessarily stoking a civil war, but raising tension among those they intend to attack. Textbook psyops.

That's laughable that you think that would trigger a full blown civil war. Minor scuffle at most.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Yeah the civil war won't start until the liberals let every general and admiral get replaced first.

I don't think you'll be laughing when the bombs fall

Fuck. If they lose control of Trump they'll for sure skip to that step. I was thinking they'd spend the next few years working to keep him in power. But yeah if that option is out they only have finite time to execute.

You're not reading too much into it. It's just that 70 million people are too stupid to realize that
