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!

I literally never heard of this dude before this week and have no idea why he's in the news so much. All I know is he has two first names and that's stupid.
If you followed politics a decade ago or more you would know that this guy covered for pedophiles abusing children at a university and for some reason Republicans just still love him.
you should pay attention more, he is a powerful politician that follows in Trumps footsteps and wants to make the US a purely Christian state
Why should we pay attention to US politics when we don't even live in the US?
I'll complain once you guys invade yet an other sovereign nation.
You are replying to a US Politics thread. Are you really that aloof?
"Aloof" is a kind way to put it.
He's in the news so much because he's the Republican pick for Speaker of the House except they can't get enough votes for him.
There's a lot to know about him- like his sycophantic brown nosing of Trump and his involvement with January 6th, but probably most importantly, he was fully aware that a doctor assigned to a college wrestling team was sexually abusing the wrestlers and did absolutely nothing about it. Then he pressured witnesses who were testifying against the doctor and the Ohio State. Hence the nickname Gym Jordan.
They really know how to pick real winners.
To be a card carrying Republican is to possess a non-zero amount of hatred in your heart for others. Conservatism by definition means you believe that certain people are simply "better" than others. Republicans are all ghouls. How many Republican politicians have been sex offenders?
You're posting in a political sub fyi.
Your point?
