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!

MODERATORS
I mean, it's per personal life, who the fuck cares? She's a shitty representative for all kinds of reasons just based on what she does in congress. This all feels very "gotcha"-ish, as if in some congressional office some democratic staffer was just giddy about releasing this to the public. Maybe I'm burnt out on it all but I have no appetite for this kind of politics anymore.
In public at an event with other people around.
dear god, burn her at the stake
I dunno maybe the point I'm making is I am seeing this everywhere right now and it feels like small potatoes
If anyone in politics besides her or another Republican did this, their entire party would be up in arms screaming the word impeachment and making demands. It's small potatoes in the context of people being people, but these are congresspeople and they all collectively decide the legal rights we have. And her party is actively stripping the rights of women and marginalized groups. Why shouldn't they be scrutinized?
Yeah, small potatoes while she's out there accusing those on drag of grooming children for simply existing in drag and reading a book. Small potatoes while she's accusing gay people of being sexual in front of children for being gay. Uh huh. This doesn't matter. Of course. There's no hypocrisy whatsoever.
Ever heard of context or hypocrisy?
It's the hypocrisy of this bunch. They claim librarians and teachers are "groomers", then do this with children around. Who is the "groomer" now?
Who cares? How about the people she keeps shaming as sexual deviants and a threat for children for just existing and genuinely trying to make their life more difficult, and here she is being exactly what she excuses them to be... that deserves her being shamed for her hypocrisy by sharing this information to potential constituents.
Oh come. It’s objectively funny that a member of congress got to third base at a touring production of Beetlejuice The Musical.
