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!

Gabbard is reportedly moving the NIC from the CIA to her own office in order to “directly hold accountable any improper action and politicization of intelligence,” per Fox News.
Oh, the irony. There is so much irony, it hurts.
Every accusation a confession.
It's not even irony, it's just willful projection at this point. And it works.
Serious question. But where do I find unfucked sources of news? Like I use to be able to take things like the NIHS, CDC seriously but can’t anymore. Government is pretty much syncopating towards the executive branch.
I am more or less looking for sources of news that is in their interest to report the facts as accurately as possible.
Europe, maybe?
European News Agencies are a lot more unbiased than american ones I believe. BBC for example
The Guardian has been great
Be careful there too. Daily mail for example isn't a great source.

I find the AP to be the most level headed source most of the time. No place is infallible
The way I see it is no label is trustworthy or ever has been, simply look at the sources and compare articles on the same subject.
where do I find unfucked sources of news?
Look towards the news sources that Trump is trying to shut down.
Or look to international news sources that aren't American owned.
You have to accept that there are no such thing as unfucked sources and make your mind up accordingly
Scrutiny is good and all, but I'd like to think that journalistic standards can be expected from some sources. And, those sources can be generally accepted without me having to be a journalist myself. Otherwise, what is the point of journalism?
Exactly, everything right now is being controlled or news agencies like PBS and NPR being unfunded because that's how dictatorships are born, you only listen to one source of news and that happens to be the news channels endorsed by the rulling dictator party.
Zero, everything is being controlled because that's exactly what dictatorships do.

If you’re narking on people who are saying the intelligence doesn’t support those claims, as being “disloyal”, you’re not being a whistleblower.
You’re being a Nazis prick fucking over someone just doing their job to get ahead of the curve.
Seriously, the word whistleblower has absolutely no place in this context..
Agreed.
Unrelated, but it's narcing. Narc is short for narcotics officer.

Gotta make sure Putin gets what he paid for
Little MS russian Kgb agent.
Good Russian assets protect their Russian leaders bought and paid for Russian puppets!!
Prerequisites for getting a job in the US Government:
- Don't speak out against Trump or his regime in any way
That's it
while not a hard prerequisite, having as little experience as possible also helps a lot.
I'd ask how dumb is she, but that is just asking the obvious.
If you don't know that creating yes men will undermine you due to a lack of facts, you deserve everything you will get
Putin: How long would it take to seize Kyiv? Can we do it in three days?
YES MAN: THREE DAYS SIR! YES SIR!
Ding ding ding! We have a winner
Critics warned the firings suggest intelligence is being shaped to suit political agendas, not facts.
Ah, so just like they live the rest of their reality then? Might be the first thing they’re consistent about!
No surprise, Gabbard has been accused of being a Russian Asset for over a decade already.
You mean to daddy you go now
