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!

What did you think was going to happen you spineless neoliberal!?
Who is going to buy your book anyway? These political books seem like a money laundering operation. I can’t imagine there are so many people lining up to buy these political hacks writings.
There's zero security concern.
He's just afraid of his voters like Republicans are if theirs
This won't even cost him money in book sales though. The way the grift works is PACs but pallets worth, but they do it thru bookstores at individual retail price.
The author gets a cut, then the PAC gives them back to the campaign.
Then the Candidate signs them, and gives them out at events for free but marks on the book they cost $100+.
The big reason journalists looked into it, is some politician figured out which random bookstores are the sample for the Times best seller list and did it there.
After looking into that we realized it's happening pretty much anytime a politician writes a book. It's literally just money laundering PAC money to the campaigns directly
I would be more concerned about your books collecting dust on the shelves than security. No republican will buy it and Dems hate Chuck. I hope he has to burn those books to keep warm at night.
They'll be snatched up and given out at political conventions where mindless people go to collect these books and never read them.
I like that Schumer is scared, I just wish Vance was.
Nobody is going to shoot Chuck Schumer. He's just afraid of the criticism.
Government is full of traitors...
More like he doesn't want to get yelled at by people.
Was planning to show up with a couple of friends. We’ve rescheduled to go to a local comedy show instead.
The all important book tour.
