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!

Damn, the Senate GOP are trying their damnedest to differentiate themselves from the shitshow in the House.
Unfortunately, their word is meaningless. And to believe their statements is risky. I mean, I'm glad they are saying this. But we won't be able to see if it means shit until they actually do or do not block a new member of the committee.
They said they wouldn't replace Ginsberg either.
They're Republicans and Republicans just love fucking Dems as much as they love fucking the country.
They might recognize that the seat in question is a lost cause. Or just another trap, either way.
Or them fearing what will happen in retaliation when the old turtle croaks.
We need to stop with the fiction that Mitch is alive, he claimed unlife at least 99 years ago and his recent incidents are just whichever otherworldly entity he made the deal with reminding him that it’s almost time to collect payment
Or Chuck Grassley who is 88
We have a buttload of people past their due date in Congress.
More than a dozen US lawmakers are older than President Joe Biden, 80, the oldest US president ever elected. Here are the lawmakers who were born before Biden’s birth on Nov. 20, 1942.
Representative Anna Eshoo, a California Democrat who turned 80 in December, missed this list by less than a month. Republican House Appropriations Chair Kay Granger of Texas celebrated her 80th birthday in January. - source
This guillotine is going up as fast as humanly possible, but I'm just one person. I do hope he can hold out for just a little while longer. I'm making sure to professionally paint the phrase "Heroes Work Here" across the top beam. 🤘🏼💀
Even McConnell seems to be “hey kids… wtf are you doing?”
