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!

Asshole that caused the downfall of society: Yo, society is falling apart!
You guys notice how Republican start being "normal" and stop spewing shit the minute they retire?
It tells, they all KNOW they are lying and stealing, they just don't give a shit while they are grifting.
She is another rat sensing the ship is doomed and is currently scurrying down the ropes with every other Republican and internet personality who helped make all this happen.
She retired because she saw the writing on the wall when the first wave of Epstein clues dropped, that if she doesn't distance herself from the GOP before the next electoral cycle then she would be dragged down with them.
The GOP broadly has two paths ahead, they will either:
Collapse entirely between midterms and 2028, particularly if Trump dies, which he may at any moment, and the remaining rats are going to all be playing hot-potato with the blame and accountability. At this point, every Republican you ask will say they were "against Trump from the start" and will blame the Democrats for not stopping him. Seriously. There will be massive division and we will see a new "tea-party" like sub-movement that will gain a little ground but will need around 8 years to gestate into an actual party or even power-bloc committee in senate and house.
Completely yank the mask off and try to actually make a play for totalitarian control through the dessicated emperor on his golden throne and High Chancellor Miller splitting power with Vance as they deploy every kind of act and measure to stall, delay and eventually cancel electoral politics. The only way they can do this with a country as large as the USA is by embroiling us in a war we can't pull out of, likely Iran or someone else who won't upset the world financial institutions.
The second path is far less realistic, but the reality is it will likely be a banal mixture of the two leading to political stagnation for a few more years while various groups wait for some new charismatic figure to emerge who can do the pied-piper thing with the country's stupidest rural orcs and blockheads with guns.
