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.

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 voted for her out of attempted harm reduction, and I agree, she probably is.
Wealthy neoliberals care as much about their fellow citizens as wealthy fascists, as they both have the same God they worship 💰
One appeals to pretending to care about people's well-being while taking bribes to hurt them, the other appeals to pretending to care about idiot bigot's blood lust while taking bribes to hurt them.
Yeah you're probably not far off. Similarly, I held my nose and voted for her as well. She was obviously the better choice, if only because her legacy was tied to a platform that at least on paper was significantly better than the alternative (e.g., climate change).
Alas I raise Hillary because of the double-standards of her buttery males versus this which is infinitely worse — yet, naturally, not a peep from conservative circles.
Because we know they're hypocrites and ends justify means to them.
Perhaps if we had a candidate we didn't have to hold our nose over, this all could have been avoided.
Honestly, right-wing media domination is so strong that we could resurrect George Washington, merge his DNA with Reagan's corpse, then conjoin that with Trump's head and call him GigaTrump and Republicans wouldn't vote for him because of the (D).
Where are all the 2A folks? I thought this is what they were alive for? To take down a tyrannical government
They lied it was all about having biggest peen
Ok so this is really a hostile takeover right out of a black mirror episode. It's starting to dawn on me
While I appreciate that it dawned on you... Why did it take this long? They told us exactly what they were going to do.
Like [insert dystopian story here], but stupider. That seems to be the theme.
Don't worry, musk is aligned with Trump, so the anti tyranny gun people are too busy bending over to give a fuck
I'm all for fighting tyranny and oppressive governments wanting to take ma guns. However, I vote R and it's not my rights that are being trampled. It's my own team that is seeking the end of democracy. So, I will gladly bend over and take it without lube for my boy, Trumpy and Musky.

At this point, I'm starting to just hope that I live long enough to get to the end of the "First They Came for" sermon and see all of the shocked Pikachu faces as all of these braindead fascist fucks are up against the wall. "But I didn't think they were talking about me!"
We've been stuck in a Black Mirror episode since 2020.

Backdoor to Russia no doubt
Locate that server, and make it drink some water...
If the server isn't legal, smashing it with hammer isn't illegal. Also, it's perfectly legal for guards to shoot intruders in federal buildings.
Mercury. Make it drink a pound of mercury. Right on top of the hard drive.

Mark my words, the lawsuits on this are going to be EPIC. He is not elected, he does not hold an official position that has ever existed, and he is meddling with extremely sensitive information, I promise you there is lawyers licking their chops and praising the universe for sending this idiot to put their kids thru college. He isn't vetted, he isn't approved by Congress, and he's dabbling in things that result in very serious prison sentences when handled improperly... Trumps judges simply won't be able to ignore the extreme ramifications when a slick high priced lawyer is spelling out how musks scent is all over documents leading to vast amounts of financial loss. Long story short, there's a reason people need a long list of credentials before accessing things like the OPM, and those entail the financial responsibilities that come with mishandling... Musky gonna learn this one the hard way.
I don't disagree, but who's gonna press charges? The second that happens, The "proud" boys, 3%ers et al mobilize and begin wiping out the prosecutors families.
Agreed. White nationalists are very keen to murder a judges children. Even when they don't have presidential backing. It helps that they have disproportionate representation within law enforcement and corrections.
Just look at the Delphi murders. The local cops got rid of the FBI, fabricated evidence, destroyed evidence and, coerced witnesses. The local prison where their framed suspect was being held tortured a confession out of the guy over the course of several months in solitary confinement. And the judge and prosecution conspired to prevent half the defence's evidence and witnesses being used and preventing them from suggesting alternative suspects. All this to protect Patrick westfall, a meth dealing white supremacist who brutally and ritualistically slaughtered his snitch's daughter.
Who is paying these new doge employees? Settling up a new department takes time, getting everything reviewed, approved then signed off. Until they are an offical government dept they wouldn't have authority to do anything.
it was an already existing department, it was just renamed.
Looking at what they're doing to other departments, do you think the pre-existing department continues in any meaningful way ?
I really hope this mobilizes the public sector into fighting him as hard as possible by all the appropriate means.
But her emails though, am I right guys?
My first thought when seeing the headline was “quick, somebody tell the conservatives that he’s using Hillary’s server to do it, then maybe something will happen!”
