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!

It is pants-shittingly terrifying that McConnell is being booed for being too moderate.
They're probably booing him because trump doesn't like him, not because of any specific policies. Most of the simpletons in the audience work off emotion, not logic.
They do and feel as they're told by fox "news". They don't have a single thought of their own.
EDIT: A word
And also hilarious, since he was all too happy to fully enable Trump.
All that power that he cheated our democracy to put in Trumps hands, so that he could use him as a puppet to further his far right agenda, has turned on him. Even after kissing the ring after falling in line again after a very brief "perhaps we've gone too far" moment on Jan 6th.
Fuck you, Mitch. You destroyed our democracy. You did this. You raised an idiot to a dictatorship thinking you could control him. Great fucking job.
As is tradition. A lot of the more "moderates" in Germany thought they could easily control Hitler. Idiots failing to grasp weaponized stupidity in the hands of other idiots.
And that about half of voters still back the party doing it...
