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!

Wait wait wait... Didn't the trump kids secure 2.something billion from the Saudi government?
Yes, which is exactly why Republicans are making those crazy claims.
When the Saudi deals resurface in the public spotlight Republicans will point to those baseless claims and say "How is what the Trump kids doing any worse than this!?!?!?" and their followers will accept it at face value and say "See both sides are doing it, it's bad but no worse than what the other guy is doing"
Another tried and true republican tactic.
Accuse the other side of imaginary crimes, so when their real crimes come out they can go "Oh this is just evil democrat retribution! Obviously its not real/bad/etc!"
The Saudis are not China nor Russia nor Ukraine. They are ultra-cool chads who we love because of their traditional family values and based fossil fuel empire.
The Ukrainians are woke, soy, and gay, so you're not supposed to make money from them. The Russians are Evil Communists who want to Destroy America (except when they're chads we love because they're Trad Orthodox Christian or based fossil fuel guys). And the Chinese are China, which is the worst of the lot.
This is all very obvious to a person who knows things. If you don't know these things, you're probably also woke and gay.
