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!

MODERATORS
First, the Dems are under no obligation to keep the GOP from looking like the fascist shitheads they are. Republicans moved to remove McCarthy, and Republicans voted to remove him. It's not the Democrats' fault if the GOP use their majority to put someone worse as Speaker.
Second, it doesn't matter whether Johnson is more or less evil than McCarthy as long as he isn't more effective. He has the same problem McCarthy had- a slim-margin majority that is split between vice-signalling performative fascists, and vice-signalling performative fascists in districts that Biden won. They're already coming off the least productive Congressional year in history, and that plus this being an election year combined with still simmering anger over the removal of Roe will just drive that wedge deeper.
Johnson can be as whiny a Christofascist as he wants. He ain't getting shit done before the next election.
I generally agree and he’ll probably just be the whiny christofascist he’s been so far, but he’s 2nd in line for the fucking presidency. And it was mostly democrats who actually voted out the speaker. Which helped Gaetz off all people.
Now that the rule is in place to only take one member to call for his ouster, I wonder how little Johnson has to do to lose 5 or whatever R’s and be out like McCarthy.
