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!

You're blaming Joe Biden for Cloudstrike? You are ridiculous.
I'm blaming the collapse of the regulatory state for Cloudstrike. And Biden is the titular chief executive of the regulatory state.
Yeah, it was totally Biden that took down the regulatory state. Democrats are well known for their opposition to regulation.
Him and 81 other Senators, along with his friend Bill Clinton, in 1996. The Telecom Act of 1996 started the wave of consolidations in the industry that has lead to companies like Crowdstrike being the lynchpin for half the country's digital security.
Since at least Jimmy Carter, they absolutely have. But the Clinton Era wave of Blue Dogs and neoliberals that have come through since are outspoken in their opposition to any and all forms of regulation that can be classified as "unfriendly to business development". The end result is enormous, increasingly rickety and ill-managed corporate dinosaurs who need to be propped up by the federal government for fear their collapse will take out large portions of our domestic infrastructure.
As someone who's worked in IT since the 90s, a good portion in security, this is so far the most ridiculous thing I've read all day. Clowdstrike ate their face because they begged for it, and consolidation has no direct causal link.
The day is yet young and I have texans on my calendar today, but so far this is the winner. Please, go touch grass.
What?
