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!

Very serious question: can't someone leak this report even illegally?

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 13 points 6 hours ago

Release it. That harridan scares noone

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 31 points 11 hours ago

So do it, coward. Release everything.

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 50 points 13 hours ago

Wasn't QAnon supposed to be all about protecting kids from evil pedophiles in the government?

But as soon as an actual child molester is nominated to a government position they've got his back all the way.

[–] Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 23 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

So... I'm gonna guess she's entangled with Gaetz various crimes in some way.

[–] BetaBlake@lemmy.world 8 points 9 hours ago

Either that or they're just fucking and she's trying to defend her man

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 201 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Alternate headline:

"Marjorie Taylor Greene confirms she is hiding Republican crimes or scandalous behavior."

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 42 points 15 hours ago

This is the talking point.

[–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 46 points 15 hours ago

A comment like that should get her on a stand, under oath.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 29 points 14 hours ago
[–] john117@lemmy.jmsquared.net 135 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

release the report!!! 🙂

[–] nolefan33@sh.itjust.works 79 points 17 hours ago

Yeah, that's just a win-win at this point

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 14 points 12 hours ago

Annnd, he's out. So does that mean he's a congressman and the ethics report is back on again?

[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world 17 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

Then fucking do it, you beach-blonde butch bastard.

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 57 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

Been hearing this for days, and it's just such a weird self-own at this point. It's bizarre enough that I can't decide if this is meant to scare them into submission or what? That's the only angle that makes sense.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 20 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

It's a threat. She's telling them to not release the report, or else.

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 10 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah, but why her own party? Like if one comes out, she's just going to blow up the rest? It's just such a weird take.

[–] islands@lemmy.cafe 11 points 14 hours ago

Because Gaetz is her bestie and she knows he's in danger of not getting the votes to get confirmed. The hardcore trumpists will absolutely use blackmail to get what they want. And they don't want to lose face by having a trump pick get defeated early on. But yeah, she should have leaned on them privately, not in public. She's not the smartest.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 5 points 14 hours ago

That entire group of people are shitheads. They don't care about eachother past being in the same party.

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 16 points 14 hours ago

So her previous call to have everything on the table was just a tantrum, hoping it would scare the other side.

[–] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 45 points 17 hours ago

Let.Them.Fight

[–] shittydwarf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 37 points 17 hours ago
[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 34 points 17 hours ago

If the dems had any balls they'd just go ahead and release them all right now.

[–] terribletortoise@lemmy.world 20 points 17 hours ago
[–] Vraylle@fedia.io 19 points 17 hours ago

Don't threaten me with a good time!

[–] barnaclebutt@lemmy.world 13 points 16 hours ago

No. Don't. Stop.

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago
[–] UnexpectedBehavior@lemmy.world 10 points 17 hours ago

So a win-win situation?

[–] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 11 points 17 hours ago

Do it! Go Marge?

[–] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 5 points 16 hours ago

She won’t do it she’s not brave enough

[–] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

Times of india, shitty source.

[–] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

You can check out the xit posted to xitter that's right in the article if you want. Nothing wrong with the info in the article, there are other sources as well.

[–] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

not questioning the story, just that maybe we shouldn't post Times of India links and give them money

[–] PeepWilliams@lemm.ee 3 points 16 hours ago

DRAIN THE SWAMP!

Your threats don’t threaten me, woman.
