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!

What is so wild is that Lindsey got his panties in a total wad over the phone records of key Republicans being pulled for who called who, when, and for how long - not the content of the conversations or the texts - in relation the TERRORISM OF J6. A real crime that threatened our country's very foundations.
Meanwhile, this bitch is having people conducting oversight on the crimes that SHE IS COVERING UP being monitored?
I wonder if Lindsey and the like are going to have their panties bunched up over this?
Pretty sure that more than anything else at this point, Lindsey is terrified of going to prison. And not just for J6.
Keep in mind that the files the representatives were allowed to see were still not unredacted, according to Jamie Raskin, who called them "slightly-less-redacted" in his statement about what he was allowed to see and the hoops he had to jump through to do so.
It's still entirely possible that the gentleman from South Carolina is well represented in those pages.
I met the man when I was about 16 or 17. Oh, he's in there, no doubt.
Not to mention all the horrific surveillance bills they have supported over the years…. Theyare mad it’s happening to them
Didn't Trump also claim that Obama witetapped his phone during the election? Wasn't that what he called "Obamagate"?
