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!

Really? For fucking real? This is where they draw the line?!
Its like Nixon, Watergate was one of the less egregious things he did, but it was a faux pas against the political order. The Republicans are fully on-board with the wholesale dismantling and privatization of the bureaucratic state, but they're not ok with making the intelligence mechanisms weaker.
It's bad, but not even close to the worst this admin has done. However, with proper screeching of NATIONAL SECURITY and shameful reminders about BUT HER EMAILS, this might be the first thing that Dems could sell to the Republican base as grounds to remove people. And let's be honest, that's who the Dems are really angling to persuade.
Probably not tho, lol. Nothing will actually change. 🙃
You don't even really remind them about her emails you can just remind them about the laws they wrote making her emails illegal after the fact in a failed attempt to "lock her up." We can scream "ILLEGAL MILITARY CHATROOMS" and "ILLEGAL ESPIONAGE".
What line? Who? Everyone's been angry the whole time. Still no line has been drawn. Buttery males...
The article claims that legislators on both sides were upset and I was making a joke about how the conservatives were okay with everything else up to this point.
To be clear, if 13 GOP senators and as few as 3 house reps voted to remove Trump it would be done.
