Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Another gold-digging, ragebaiting Botox Barbie willing to take some pussy-grabbing from the molester-in-chief for 15 minutes of prestige, until Trumplord is done with her, and discards her like a used piece of chewing gum.

During and after Watergate, every miscreant snagged a book deal. Even Spiro Agnew got paid for writing a 'novel.'

These minions will be flogging their stories for years.

Also, imho 'Will' by G. Gordon Liddy is the best read of all of them. Toxic masculinity has never been so unhinged.

Liddy's book was unintentionally hilarious. Definite crazy guy in the bar telling you "I can kill you nine different ways with a pencil" vibe.

My favorite part was when he held a lit candle to his palm to impress a hooker, and then was surprised that she wanted nothing to do with him.

[I feel like adding context. He was trying to get a bunch of girls to go to a Dem event and seduce the men in order to create a scandal. The woman he was talking to was the madam, and she wanted assurances that she'd be protected from prosecution. ]

I’m fairly sure after he tosses her aside, she’ll flip and sue him. Then, she’ll get awarded millions of hush money after contributing to the suffering of millions of people.
