Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

They can’t be released if there is an ongoing investigation; an investigation into democrats that was just magically ordered by Trump a short time ago, even though there was supposedly nothing to investigate due to it being a democrat hoax.

The Epstein files don't exist, but if they did they aren't that bad, but if they are it's no big deal cause I'm not in them, but if I am it's fake news, and if it's not it's because Democrats are in them and it's all a hoax, and if I did blow bubba he probably deserved it.

2025’s “I want to, but I’m being audited.”

He’ll try do this until people eventually run out of gas.

Based on his health he's gonna run out of gas before the public does.

Let's hope we can stay solvent while Tangerine Palpatine crashes the economy.

If he keeps eating McDonald's, he's going to have an endless supply of gas.

That’s why he tweets so much, he’s gotta relieve the pressure.

Even with an investigation ongoing...

Obviously they can release evidence. It's an incredibly stupid plan and only someone completely ignorant of our legal system would release evidence pre-trial...

That being said, this admin has done it so many times I've legitimately lost count, more than a handful of times.

But trump will have at least one Senator filibuster this, which is why I was really hoping they got rid of it.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 13 points 15 hours ago

No, he did not have a single Senator holding it up it passed with unanimous consent.

Honestly, he doesn't need to, All he has to do is have Congress go into adjournment on the 10th day of the bill being in his hand. And then when he doesn't sign it, it's supposed to go back to Congress. However, if Congress is adjourned, the bill gets pocket vetoed without the ability to be brought up again.

I'm partially expecting with how much support has changed so drastically that that's what the current plan is. Just have Congress go into adjournment. It prevents the house from bringing it up again as the bill gets fully tossed if I understand it correctly

although I guess that is under the statement that he can get the house to close again
