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!

Dude's out there filing frivolous lawsuits like he's buying lotto tickets. I guess the other chuds in the cabinet don't give him the insider stock tips.
This is because USA is one of the few countries in the world that doesn't have loser pays laws. He should have to pay MSNBC's legal fees.
We have "loser pays" contracts and "loser pays" countersuits.
"Loser pays laws" can also inhibit individuals from filing legitimate lawsuits in the first place out of fear.
It's not automatic, but MSNBC can sue to recover those fees. However, it's still a pretty high bar.
but then they have new fees from the second lawsuit. Shithole system only designed to feed lawyers.
I'm excited to see what discovery in his defamation suit against The Atlantic will reveal about his conduct (should it go to trial).
This asshat is out there trying to bully media outlets into silence, probably not realizing the hilarious backfire waiting for him when one of them calls his bluff and lets a court verify their allegations 😄
Just read the Atlantic article.
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/2026/04/kash-patel-fbi-director-drinking-absences/686839/
discovery will just be the proof and witnesses.
"on Friday, April 10, as FBI Director Kash Patel was preparing to leave work for the weekend, he struggled to log on to an internal computer system. He quickly became convinced that he had been locked out, and he panicked, frantically calling aides and allies to announce that he had been fired by the White House, according to nine people familiar with his outreach."
Left CAPS LOCK ON.
he's been using FBI private jets to party at a famous Coke den in Las Vegas.
He once passed out in his office behind multiple locked doors so they needed to break in with an extraction team.
FBI agents HATE him.
If they had proof, or witnesses willing to go on the record, they would have been in the article.
Most MAGA hate people of Indian descent.
There are a lot of MAGA of Indian descent.
