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!

The problem, though, is that Jim is a spiteful and vengeful person, and so are the extreme Right in general. A lot of Republicans are getting in line simply because they don't want the stochastic terrorism directed at them.
This will just make public the horrible charges against him related to his time at Ohio State.
Before entering politics, Jordan was an assistant OSU wrestling coach from 1986 to 1994. Former athletes have said he ignored rampant sexual abuse by Richard Strauss, a team doctor who died in 2005. Jordan has long denied helping orchestrate a cover-up.
Do you really think Republicans care? This isn't even the first time they have nominated a wrestling coach / pedo enabler for Speaker.
Heck they even had a pedo president! Need I remind anyone of Trump's creepy comments about his own daughter?
Their god literally bragged about sexually assaulting women, creeping on children changing, and wanting to fuck his daughter.
Idk why anyone thinks the GOP and Republicans as a whole find abhorrent behavior a deal breaker.
It's our job to make them care. Republicans will do everything they can to ignore it.
Dude, they came out in record numbers to vote for a person who actively bragged about being an abhorrent monster. They're never going to care as long as the person has an R next to their name, unless we suddenly find a few million cult deprogrammers.
They just shrug their shoulders when an entire classroom of children is executed. They don't care about anything but power.
