    Did anyone really expect them to release documents that implicated republicans or their puppeteers? These assholes are blatantly corrupt. As long as they are the gatekeepers, nothing can be trusted.

      Republicans are amoral and shamelessly corrupt, and, in related news, the sky is blue, and grass is green.

    The judge literally ordered that political consequences were not an excuse for redactions. I hope he starts putting people in jail

      He will do nothing! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! The judges in the Untied States are like the parents who say they’re going to count to three, and the Trump administration are the kids who have figured out that nothing happens when they get to three.

        At the end of the day, the folks who actually enforce rulings are beholden to Trump and his cronies, so they kind of can’t enforce shit

      What’s this, another court order shamelessly ignored? Fourth box.

    Politically exposed individuals.

    Here’s the question, why are they in the files doing something that merits redacting them?

    Call it what it is. You aren’t “redacting the names of politically exposed individuals”. You are “protecting the reputations of politically-aligned pedophiles”.

    They were never, ever going to release the files with Trump in them or anyone Trump adjacent.

    I think I love Trump and his government purely because they are so blatant at corruption, they expose all of those before them and will surely make everyone question those that follow.

    If not… Then I guess that’s it.

    If there is an option for Americans to disrupt the republican - democrat party swap, then please, please disrupt the hell out of it in the next election.

    This is a big surprise. I’m sure it was a mistake and they meant to redact something damaging in a different document.

    And what are you going to do about it? Until bullets start flying in large numbers nothing will change.

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.

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.
