Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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 vote fell almost entirely along party lines, with only Sen. John Fetterman, a Pennsylvania Democrat, joining with all Republicans to pass her confirmation 54-46.

With no due respect, fuck Fetterman.

Democrats need to do better.

Democrats need to do better.

Republicans need to do better. Or is this "both sides" are responsible for confirming Bondi?

This is about calling out Democrats to fucking get their shit in order and control your damn members from voting for and enabling fascist.

And no, both sides are the same, Democrats are worse when they're enabling fascist with a whimper. Grow a damn spine and actually resist.

Fetterman has effectively defected. The only recourse is to kick him out of the caucus. How does that stop Trump's agenda?

Fetterman has 4 more years to his term.

You want them to hold a gun to his head and tell him how to vote? Still doesn't stop this confirmation. May as well do the same to the Republicans.

[–] inclementimmigrant 1 points 6 days ago

Then kick his fucking ass out of the caucus, like you said if it changes nothing at the end of the day then so be it. Have some damn spines and put up opposition and primary the fuck out of whoever doesn't fall in god damn line.

And as for you "hold a gun up to his head" and Republicans, you really should listen to this The Daily Podcast about that. Hate the game but fucking play it.
