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!

Lot of rage in the comments. Surely the easiest thing is just to investigate them and prove her shamefully wrong?
I never thought they were paid by Russia till I saw this chat brigaded.
That is almost worse than her take. It's bad that she said that, but like are you actually a Russian?
"Surely the easiest thing is to let the police search my home everyday to prove them shamefully wrong."
After all, the only reason anyone would ever object to any investigation or search is if they have something to hide. Surely it can't be because they rightfully see most government investigations as outcome predetermined fishing expeditions.
I'd be completely fine with that, as long as all pro Israel-protesters are also investigated.
That would be useless. No US investigation of Israel would be remotely fair, and no wrongdoing, if found, would ever be shared with the public
Good point. It would have to be an independent organisation - South Africa seems like the best choice.
The ICJ's current case of South Africa v Israel re: the Gaza genocide is an example of one such "independent" examination. However, while better than most alternatives, the ICJ is still largely under the control of The West - as is evidenced by its history of cases, and specifically, by its history of consistently ignoring certain bad acts by certain Western states. To say nothing of its very coincidental selection of its judges
For example, Joan Donoghue, the current ICJ president judge, is a career United States Department of State diplomat. Aka, she has spent her career as an agent of The West at the very highest levels, and now is the president judge overseeing the current South Africa/Israel genocide case. Hardly a fair hearing - imagine our reaction if the president judge of the ICJ was a career Russian or Chinese state depth official - how would that affect our perception of such a "court"?

Surely Nancy is arguing in good faith. She certainly wouldn't just throw this out into the news to create a narrative that plays into her agenda without any intention of actually investigating
post your email address and password or you're a paid russian troll. surely it's easier for us to just investigate you and you can prove us shamefully wrong.
Wow people really don't want these protestors investigated for foreign interference.
Very worrying.
Hello, I suspect that you're paid by Russia to sow division. Please send me your personal information so I can start an investigation into any potential financial or personal ties you might have to Russia. If you don't have anything to hide, you should just let me investigate you and prove me wrong.
