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.

“If he chooses to nominate somebody else and asks me to go do something else, I will say, ‘Thank you very much. I love you, sir.’ I don’t have any goals or aspirations beyond that.”
So he has no goals or aspirations beyond doing what the president asks him, and makes sure we all can hear that he loves him ("sir").
So... a totally independent AG committed to upholding the rule of law then.
It's like the Mitchell & Web Lucentio sketch, but with the roles reversed. Todd, are you sure you wouldn't like to just...have a sweaty tumble with Trump, and leave others to sort out the admin of...I dunno, upholding justice?
Orange man got a Smithers.
"Todd... there's a rocket in my pocket!"
What he actually said was ”whaargl whaaaaughhh ghhhhlkk” because of how hard he was trying to throat Donnie.
Imagine if a single Democrat ever acted this way about Obama or Biden. Imagine how Fox would respond.
How many Democrats are going to vote to confirm him? Because we know some are.
democrats work the the same donors, stop acting like they are 2 different teams.
If someone wrote this in a movie about an authoritarian takeover, people would complain it's too cliche. The dictator installs his own personal lawyer as the Justice Dept head...
Fuck I can't wait for [ Removed by Reddit ].
Apropos of nothing, did you know that, while the president himself gets secret service protection, many of the cronies he relies on to do his bidding do not? Just a funny observation.
If we're lucky, Stephen Miller will never feel safe enough to leave that military base ever again
I'm not calling for anyone to do anything, I'm just saying when it happens
You mean the big dance party?
I went searching for one, and sure enough there are tons of playlists for the glorious day.
i was taking in the recycling when the news broke that krasnov lost in 2020. then i went off to the Grab 'n' Gross. we started dancing in the middle of the recycling with everyone else there. i don't recall seeing anyone not dancing that day after that point, but i imagine it's possible.
Ah, halcyon days.
Everyone will party for a few days, but then in that time the coup of the US Government will be completed by the technofascists like Thiel and his puppet Vance, Yarvin, Andreeson, Musk, and others. A lot of this info is presented in audio format in a Behind the Bastards episode on venture capital extremism, another episode on Peter Thiel, and another on Curtis Yarvin, Robert Evans explains more here, and in video format here
This is what gargling orange balls sounds like.
Blanche, a registered Democrat until a few years ago, resigned a lucrative partnership at a Wall Street law firm to represent the president,
I thought they voted for Trump because they wanted gays out of politics.
Surprised he can talk with that tiny sweaty mushroom in his mouth...
