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!

Dear fellow citizens of Georgia,
I, Sydney Powell, am writing this letter to extend my deepest apologies for my role in attempting to overturn the 2020 election results. I recognize that my actions have caused significant concern and division, and I take full responsibility for my misguided involvement.
In addition to acknowledging my mistakes, I must also address my association with former President Donald Trump in these efforts. It has become clear to me that President Trump's repeated false claims about the 2020 election results in Georgia and other states contributed to the confusion and distrust that surrounded the election process. I hereby cut all ties with him and distance myself from these false claims.
I want to emphasize that the foundation of our democracy rests on the principles of fair and free elections, and it is the duty of every citizen to honor and protect these principles. My actions in the past were inconsistent with these values, and I deeply regret any harm I may have caused to our nation and its citizens.
I apologize to the American people for any doubts and divisions my actions may have created. It is my sincere hope that we can come together as a nation, putting aside political differences and working towards a stronger, more united democracy that truly reflects the will of the people.
I am committed to learning from this experience and ensuring that such actions are not repeated. I believe in the importance of respecting the will of the voters and the integrity of our electoral system. It is imperative that we move forward with a spirit of unity, transparency, and cooperation.
Once again, I extend my sincerest apologies to the people of our great nation for my involvement in the 2020 election controversy. I hope that, over time, I can regain your trust and contribute to a better future for the United States.
Sincerely,
