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!

I'm not sure I'm familiar with this org, what did they do? From the article I was able to gather that they're some kind of conservative activists, but I'm curious about what they do
They do little covert missions recording the organizations they consider to be political enemies, push employees to say things that appear bad, and release selectively edited videos that appear damning but end up being nothing much of substance.
They also straight up lied a lot. The best example of their shit we got was when they sent an undercover employee in to the Washington Post with a fake story about how a Republican candidate impregnated her as a teenager and then kept badgering the reporters to speculate on what that story could do to his campaign.
Wow, imagine being the PV morons, surprised that not all journalists are as stupid as you are.
How could the guy who came up with the dildo boat not be one of history's greatest reporters?
This article came out the DAY before the "Because of the implication" meme episode. Fucking life and art man, I don't even have a joke, James O'Keefe is a special kind of douchebag.
They covertly recorded conversations they had with employees of charities and corporations they were opposed to. Oftentimes the person recording would ingratiate themselves at a bar or date and any jokes, deprecating humor, or mistakes would be taken at face value. Somebody making shit up on a date would then be used as evidence against their enemy. Certainly there may have been small nuggets of truth buried under the shit, but they were massive scumbags.
This is the group that made the anti-abortion "documentary" filled with lies, and heavily edited and out of context footage a few years back.
