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!

Take value P, which is how much we can statistically get away with, double it for PP, divide PP by the number of years litigation will take for N, realize that PP isn't 2P It's P^2, so that vaccines PE, now because it's a crime we need to multiply by a negative, but because it's a political person is a much smaller chance of getting caught, so it's the square root of a negative, so i.
So Pe/Ni=$
What a fucking scam
The person who leaked the data wasn't even an IRS employee, they were a contractor. Go after the company they worked through.
Trump's lawyers are in talks with the IRS to resolve president's $10B ~~lawsuit~~ theft
Some thoughts:
- Why is he talking to the IRS about a lawsuit with his tax collection agency? Rhetorical question.
- Every other Pres ever has released their tax info publicly and willingly and he's going scorched Earth to crucify the company that leaked it. And America decided this person was fit for President.
This isn't about resolving anything. It's a made up grievance because he figured out that he can sue the government and then order them to pay him. It's just theft, plain and simple.
I did say it was rhetorical
Oh gosh, I wonder however this might get resolved. Surely this president is above paying himself a massive sum from the offices he oversees?
FORTUNATELY we ELIMINATED my VA Benefits and my Child's School Lunches and the Research going into my Wifes LIFE SAVING TREATMENT so we can Afford this Lawsuit!
-Republicans who HATE Corruption!
So he paid no taxes, right?
I think something like $750
I cannot wait until his lips turn blue 🥰
