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!

Just fucking do it, or do you agree with him that your island is a floating pile of trash?
These idiots are so terrified that if Trump takes power, their heads will be on the chopping block for standing up to him... Grow a pair already and do what's right for the country! No more of this "Stop or I'll say stop again" bullshit.
Yeah... plenty of Republicans already did that. They got voted out or kicked out.
There are a few tough holdouts like Murkowski (Alaskan Senator), but the mass extinction already happened.
Murkowski voted with trump plenty
Sure, but the litmus test is "was the 2020 election stolen?", that's the yes/no that determines whether you are suitably loyal. Very simple, very effective.
Murkowski actually voted to convict him.
Yeah, and we're going to see more of her fighting with Trump (if he wins) because she could be the tie-breaker vote now:

We wouldn't see any fighting Donald because she is a Repub. They are all in collusion under the Federalist Society.
She and Collins have already had spats with Trump. They voted to convict him, just to start. And if Trump gets in office, you can bet there will be a whole lot more.
Susan "he's learned his lesson" Collins?
If they don't do it Trump is going to throw them under the bus anyway. Do they really want to be on the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party?
Well the calculus is that their endorsement doesn't matter anyway, and they're kinda right. Honestly nothing negative about Trump moves the needle at all.
Trump Puerto Ricans do agree the place is a trash island. They just think it's the fault of the 'others'. They thinkTrump sees the problems and will fix things for the 'good ones' like themselves.
They do not see that they are part of Trumps 'bad ones'
To wit:
It seems that many people are more motivated by fear and power than by what is morally correct.
