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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

Remember the OUTRAGE the right exhibited?? I always knew they were full of shit and hitching their waggon to Trump proved it without the shadow of a doubt.
it's still sexual harassment if not assault and what happened to Lewinsky at the time is a national disgrace. the republicans were faking outrage but on the other side there was none, and that's shameful too.
Oh I think there was plenty of outrage from Hillary. He'd have felt that behind closed doors.
If she'd opened that door, she might not have lost in 2016. Hard to respect the judgement of someone who was still married him after all that. Her loss was a perfect storm of a lot of factors, but I believe that was one of them.
The other thing they could have done is just be honest about their relationship . Their marriage is political and economic, and they may very well have great affection for each other - I don't know. But they clearly don't expect fidelity in their relationship, and if that's what works for them that's fine. Just be honest about it.
I have a lot more of a problem with Bill taking sexual advantage of a 22yo intern while he was President of the United States. That power imbalance makes consent nearly impossible, and I'm still mad at my fellow Dems for defending that.
He should have been impeached for that, not the trumped-up perjury bullshit.
We also would've had an incumbent President Gore going into 2000, which might have been nice.
