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!

Scalise is a piece of shit, but Jordan is bigger, more dangerous piece of shit. He has been an enabler and encourager of all of the worst behavior we're seeing now and over the past few years. I truly hope this fails.
Yeah also he’s on the sex abusers in congress list
The attendance list?
Keep the faith my friend. These guys could screw up a wet dream.
I'm not positive what this phrase means, but I agree with it
I’ll take your comment at face value and explain that a nocturnal emission benefits the participant the most, takes zero effort, and is pleasurable, yet these guys could somehow manage to foul up even so simple a task.
You kind 🙏
What was his relationship with Epstein? Were they shaking hands in strange places? Or is Gym sad they never got to connect over a 14 year old?
Just for reference, at Ohio State, Jim Jordan was the assistant coach of the wrestling team while the team doctor was (not very discretely) abusing students.
Jim Jordan's response to all this was to award the doctor "King of the Sauna".
