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!

For sale? They're being broadcasted.
I mean, it's basically shoplifting. Trump admin is taking down all the securities so they can keep it out of the safe and sell them... but in the process, they are also opening them up to being taken without asking. Then it comes down to the same question of say music/software piracy. Is it easier to buy it from the trump admin, or just get it from back channels.
Nobody needs to steal anything when they are sold to the highest bidder right from the source.
Who needs to steal when you have Krasnov selling them?
Maybe that's his defense, if he ever sees a trial over them. "You can't prove my idiotic subordinates didn't give them away before I could sell them!"
Just book a room at Mar a lago and check the bathrooms.
Don't even bother. Just look in the nightstand drawer. They're right there, where the bibles used to be. And if you look on the desk, there's a convenient menu of services available for those interested in a little light corruption.
Steal or buy, whichever is cheaper
Just invite them to a chat and let them give them to you.
Seriously wondering what would happen if someone created a group with the NSA, CIA, and FBI heads if they'd even notice it was created by some rando.
Well yes. The government is collapsing and no longer values its own secrets unless they personally impact a handful of billionaires.
Plus, its own leadership includes its enemies. The government as we know it is in its death throws if not already dead.
