When the regime falls, don't let these feckless enablers off the hook.

Bullshit. The united states has always failed to prosecute bad actors. They executed 1 general after the civil war. The rest of the Confederate government got to live out their days free. All of the governors that fought civil rights never got punished, nor did the cops that still tried to enforce segregation after the civil rights act. Nixon and everyone that worked with him got away with Watergate. What didn't Reagan get away with?

The US will only punish poor people with no political power if they dare try to change the system.

I hope I'm wrong this time, but US history is disappointing

They also arrested a whistleblower and is now charging him with a misdemeanor. Notice the headline doesn't even mention that part.

FBI whistleblower claims he tried to get to Musk to warn him he was being targeted by Russia

I can't wait for this orange fucker to die. Hopefully slowly and painfully.

Sadly, he's not the only problem anymore.

But a very big catalyst to the whole thing.

Ah, this must be the "meritocracy" I keep hearing about. For some reason I thought you had to be a member of the Trump family or a Fox News host to take part.

I hate how the media doesn't call out anything this regime does as what it is. They softball everything.

And I somewhat get that news articles should be facts with no editorializing. But this stuff is the political weaponization of the DOJ. It's not an opinion, it's a fact at this point.

This is what's been happening throughout both Trump presidencies and elections and probably long before. Sanewashing, attacks on the left, and nothing but compliance. Journalism has been dead in America for decades.

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!
