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!

I'm not sure if Mitch is looking smug here, honestly just looks blank
He looks like he just spotted a particularly plump lettuce leaf.
Oh my god
He's just glitching out again, probably saw the reaper tapping his watch impatiently again
It’s Weekend at Bernie’s 3: Capitol Hill
Does Mike Johnson use blush to make his cheeks rosier? Why does he always look like an old ventriloquist's dummy or a little dough boy or something? I can't quite put my finger on it.
Dude probably whips himself every night to atone for sins, so I wouldn't be surprised by anything weird he does.
He's just really, really horny because he has to work in a situation that has hum surrounded by old white men. And that's perfectly fine, he should embrace it, no matter what his imaginary friend says.
fuck all Republicans, they're all in the pockets of the Russians and Saudis
I wanted to comment on the title of the article and the fact that it is gramatically incorrect. Why didn't they use the word "invites"? The article uses the word in the first sentence. It's hard for me to enjoy journalism when it's filled with distracting mistakes like this. When your profession is writing why are these kind of mistakes allowed. If I made mistakes analogous to this in my career I would not be keeping my job very long.
It's less common, but valid. "Ask to lunch", "Ask to prom".
I'll give you the second exception but I've never seen the first one used. However, you are missing the fact that in both of your examples you can use the subject as an action. To lunch is to eat lunch and to prom is the shorted version of promenade. White House is a proper noun and cannot be used the same way as your two examples.
