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!

This reminds me of this
Yeah a little? But this is an elected official with real power misbehaving in public as well as being hypocritical with their anti-lgbt "for the children" stance.
As far as political news goes, this is pretty mild in terms of scandal. Not sure anybody's mind is going to change about her as a result of this, but I think if it can end up in an honest attack ad then it's probably newsworthy.
"It's 10pm. Do you know where your senator is?"
Keep in mind that she won her district by a super narrow margin. After this, I'd say she loses easily next time round. To the point that I wouldn't be surprised if she gets primaried.
Having watched the video, it's milder than these comments let on. But still, trashy as hell for anyone, but understandable if they were teens.
So why is this not front-page news? Have we fallen so far?
IDK, vaping in front of a pregnant woman after being asked not to is worse than the headline. She cares for the unborn, just not that one in particular.
Bobert has a lot more political power than Gomez
Yeah, but the news are in the same spirit
