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!

I read that she could resign when she claims to and will qualify for her pension just couple few days before.
If true, it seems to me she decided to spend the last few months trying to save some face so she can try and retire peacefully...unsure that'll pan out.
This part doesn't make sense to me. It's not like people on the left are going to forgive everything she's done because she did the absolute minimum necessary to call herself a human for a few months. She's just making enemies of people on the right, as well.
This part makes a ton of sense to me because it's about money. I don't know whether it's true or not about the timing of the pension, though.
Actually, money might be the entire explanation. Let's say that she's getting a windfall after she leaves. Like, maybe somebody has paying her to vote a certain way, but they can't actually give her the money until she leaves congress because then the bribery would be so obvious, then she might have no reason to lie and say that she supports everything Trump does.
No, but there's going to be a book with a lot of lies and half truths that she'll turn into a introspection and a move from bad-to-good persona.
That's enough for how dumb yankistanis are.
And the marketing agencies will work on her image online like they did with bush, gates and obama. And she can live out rest of her life in a sunny beach and even go on tours and be a esteemed speaker.
