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!

What a headline. Why would anyone ever even think the Democrats would help nominate Jim Fucking Jordan? Oh man, those Democrats really had an opportunity to reach across the aisle here but now I see they're just allergic to bipartisanship for not supporting the "conservative firebrand" and "guy who wanted to overturn an election they won". He's one of the least acceptable choices they have, why frame it like they refused to do a thing that's manifestly stupid?
I wouldn't label him aa "one of the least acceptable choices."
He's one of the most abhorrently unacceptable ones.
Nancy Mace claimed, with a straight face, in an interview with Jake Tapper that she's spoken to Democrats in Congress that say they trust Jim Jordan.

I burst out in laughter. I honestly had not laughed that long in a very long time.
Jake Tapper finally got her to admit that they "trusted Jim Jordan more than Kevin McCarthy." Not exactly a high bar there.
The fallacy of understated evidence is a favorite of politicians, especially Republicans.
Also, I don't fucking believe even her adjusted claim. Give names or STFU, Nancy.
I trust that Jim Jordan will do anything to to get Trump into power and overthrow the government.
They are either totally desperate, or (more likely) they are so delusional that they actually believe that insurrectionists, right-wing extremists, and whatever other ilk the GOP shoved into the House would be OK for the democrats.
