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.

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.

- 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!"

We got them, hundreds of pages blacked out completely redacted. It is absolutely ridiculous
Edit: for those who are curious.

This has to be a joke, right? But the .gov domains are reserved in us for actual government agencies, right? So what the fuck
I am sure they have some good "rationale" for redacting what looks to be a significant portion of grand jury testimony. Of course the administration did say they would release them, but probably back tracked or they are "protecting" the victims.
I personally think it is bullshit. They are handling it like top secret stuff. The President clearly has the authority to release this considering his current MO. It is a giant middle finger to the public.
Because he's a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch.
This is illegal.
I guess it's the land of the free after all if you can fuck a bunch of children and still be president
Beacon of conservative Christian values
the white bigots love to talk about how bad was Muhammad because of his bride yet have absolutely have no problem with a pedo being their Messiah
Every accusation they make is a confession.
ain't nothing more free than committing crimes and getting away with it.....
Are there any conservatives out there that can tell us why you worship a pedophile?
Nothing spells guilt like..
Wow, I don't know about you guys, but I've come to the end of my attention span. I guess there was never anything to see there after all, right?
This is fascism. They'll always win.
Fascism wins until good men go to war. Then they fold
If by "fold" you mean "beaten into submission," then, yeah, I'd have to agree with you.
Tomato tamahto, potato patahto
Yeah, looks like they're up to something.
He has to be a pedo.
The guy that shares details around jerking off with his son. Totally normal.
I hadn't heard that one but its not surprising he is a freak and not in a good way.
It’s mind boggling that he thought it was appropriate to share this with the public…. It’s insane that a grown man does this.
You're saying it's a compulsion? Possibly so. Or maybe he's just a knowingly evil child rapist.
take that leap of faith and use the is word
This guy is a one-trick pony.
Have to oath in a Democrat who will trigger a vote his master doesn't like? Send everyone home!
Files that incriminates his master are being released? Send everyone home!
This tactic is getting old already.
What does Mike Johnson know how to do besides not doing things?
Well the GOP loves to say that government doesn't work, and surprise surprise when they're in charge it's the one thing they're right about.
It's more than that even, they're usually the reason why the government doesn't work.
Social security would work great if funded properly, so what do they do? Screw with the funding. The ACA would work if properly funded, so what do they do? Let the subsidies expire. Medicare for all would work if properly funded. The education system would work if properly funded. The VA works when properly funded. And so on, and so on, and so on. In most cases, all it takes is the money and resources that they'd rather steal or give to their donors and like magic, we'd have a functioning government again.
They constantly sabotage programs that benefit tax payers while spinning the lie that government run programs can't and don't work. And after decades of dealing with underfunded programs run with minimal staffing and a maximum of red tape, of course people believe them.
That's my point though. If someone's stated position is that a thing doesn't work, putting them in charge of the thing is pretty much assured to make that thing not work.
I see it as them showing their hand. They know they cant take the heat, so they run. Pussies.
Hey now, pussies can take a pounding and keep on coming.
They also have depth and warmth that most if not all republicans lack.

Republicans complain that government is ineffective and corrupt, then they get elected and prove it.

Are we gonna see the naughty list soon?
He's making his list, redacting it twice, you'll never find out who's naughty or nice.
Unless they are political enemies.

Dems should release more pics right when they come back.
lol. I love it. Keep a reserve of photos and keep trickling them out when the new cycle dies down.

I think it's hilarious that we have a system of government built on the false idea that we the people have any real power. We keep paying our taxes though. We keep buying the 7 versions of Taylor Swift's albums. We keep "treating ourselves" because we "deserve" a treat for making it through another day. There's a theme to these examples and it is at the core of every issue we face.
We actually have the power; all of it. We lack the will.

The epstein files are inevitable at this point and republicans are already getting marching orders for how to do damage control.
Mad props to AOC and I get why she wants to keep that in the cultural zeitgeist ahead of... tomorrow. But this is very much about house republicans breaking with johnson/doing token "See, I am one of the good ones" votes to override him on obamacare extensions and preventing trump from bombing Venezuela to distract from the epstein files.
It may also effectively kill the discharge petition for the 3-year extension of ACA subsidies vote.
