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!

One good thing to come out of Reddit’s demise is that I hadn’t read her name in about three weeks.

[–] [email protected] 97 points 1 year ago (12 children)

I just realised how much MTG related coverage there was on Reddit.

@currychaos

For a minute I was scratching my head wondering how I missed all the Magic the Gathering coverage when I barely saw any 🤣

[–] Octavio 17 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Reminds me of the time I spent in 2020 wondering why all the right wingers were so mad at the Bureau of Land Management.

It sure would be nice if any MTG mention is promptly spammed by Magic the Gathering content and buried. I don't even play MTG and I'd prefer to have my feed taken over by it! Fuck yeah, nerds--get your game on!

(Disclosure: I am indeed a nerd, too.)

She makes herself and republicans look bad, but still it’s wrong to give someone like her so much publicity. It’s like how CNN etc pumped up Trump by talking about him constantly in 2015.

What a fucking kook. Even the other kooks think you're a fucking kook.

Too batshit crazy for the Freedom Caucus is batshit crazy indeed.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The sad thing is it was because she called Bobert a little bitch and supported Kevin McCarthy. Not because of wanting to impeach the president over nothing or jewish space lasers or whatever batshit crazy things come out of her mouth.

[–] Techmaster 13 points 1 year ago

They removed her from the caucus for saying something true.

Wait, was it because she's too fascist or not fascist enough?

[–] FlyingSquid 38 points 1 year ago

They're claiming it's because of what she said to Boebert, but it's probably because of how she's buddied up to McCarthy and they feel their job is to oppose him.

[–] aski3252 36 points 1 year ago (14 children)

Probably neither:

"I think the way she referred to a fellow member was probably not the way we expect our members to refer to other fellow, especially female, members," Harris told Politico, referring to Greene's profane exchange with Boebert.

"I think the straw that broke the camel's back was publicly saying things about another member in terms that no one should."

I especially enjoyed when she tried to call a meeting to order and all the dems laughed at her. She's a clown. She should be ostracized like the joke that she is.

[–] dub 53 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Wow this is literally against her first and second amendment rights!!!1!

When will the Biden/Clinton/Obama's end their reign of tyranny???

[–] Dr_Chocolate 53 points 1 year ago (4 children)

This is where they finally draw the line? They are ok with the Nazi shit, but can't call Boobert a bitch.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

You need to understand, a good portion of the rights base sees the GOP as morally righteous Christians. Racism and homophobia are A-OK according the the bible (at least the parts they don't ignore). What matters to them is the GOP politicians appear to be the kind of person who never swears, rarely drinks (except beer), is morally pure in the bedroom (and if they aren't, it's just a crisis of faith), goes to bed early, and is working tirelessly to defend the country from the evil liberals and Joe Biden, who is somehow both a dementia-riddled invalid and also the anti-christ.

This is the kind of world view many of the rights supporters have. They don't particularly mind if you start promoting fascism or literally quote Hitler, as long as you still appear like the perfect example of someone living the 1960's American Dream. The kind of person who could be invited to the country club and is always helping at the church picnic.

But swearing?! One of the Stepford wives has caused a scene with her unchristian language and, my God, it's ruining the bake sale! She certainly won't be getting invites to any of the upcoming dinner parties.

She shouldn't be anywhere near a Congressional seat.

It's hard to believe that someone is too insane for the HFC. They're all insane.

"I think the way she referred to a fellow member was probably not the way we expect our members to refer to other fellow, especially female, members," Sounds like the Freedom Caucus is against freedom of speech!

HA. HAHA.

HAHAHAHAHA.

That is all. That’s the comment.

The real decorum would be ousting her from the house completely

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

Now go after every committee she's on too. They'll never expel her entirely but they can remove her from anything even remotely important.

[–] MeetInPotatoes 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Sounds like leopards are eating faces again.

[–] Rhoeri 12 points 1 year ago

Who knew watching a snake eat it’s own tail could be so fascinating.
