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!

And there it is. It's not about governing, it about ensuring that your team is beating the other team. Doesn't matter that the government is avoiding a shutdown and essential government functions will continue to keep people alive, safe, employed, etc, because the other team voted for it, it must be bad.
Also, nothing about Steve Bannon is righteous. He's a piece of dog shit in the shape of a human.
And just barely that shape, if we're being honest.
Bannon is starting to look like that cockroach wearing a dead guy as a skin suit from Men in Black.
He's got a brand new Eddie suit

How did I get that wrong? I've only seen that movie like 30 times...
Maybe they used the flashy thing on you too many times.
Sugar water!
That's floating in bottom-shelf-of-the-basement gin.
Pretty sure he meant to say the N-word instead of Hakeem Jeffries
Also, nobody* loves Jeffries. It's his turn according to the congresswoman whose allies still control all committee assignments and who's still one of the most effective solicitors of the legal bribes they depend on, so the rest just have to go along with it.
*except maybe an owner donor or two.
Citation needed. All democrats are rallying behind him so he must at least be tolerated by the majority of the party.
That's exactly his point, tolerated, not loved
That’s fine. I don’t love most of my coworkers and my bosses. I tolerate and respect them, though. I don’t see why that’s a positive or negative to want to share a hotel room when traveling with your speaker.
It's interesting that it's all about how he "feels", nothing to do with facts, logic, context, or any consideration of the effects on the people who live in the U.S.
Sensitive motherfucker, isn't he?
You didn't hear? Politics is football now.
