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!

And those fuckers have the gall to call themselves patriots. If anything, she's s Russian patriot.

Those who dont learn from history are doomed to repeat it - and this crazy lady seems doomed to repeat it.

If there's a budget problem and you're spending more than your fair share, negotiate on the budget, don't throw your toys out of the cot and have a temper tantrum and try to leave the most stable military alliance on earth that's the only thing holding Russia and china in check.

(Not an American, not from a NATO country, and not a supporter of Biden in any way, just saying that NATO is a bloody good idea and I'm glad it exists since it seems like the only thing stopping Putin from starting WW3).

only thing stopping Putin from starting WW3

People like her don’t seem to understand that the bad guys are bad and have real consequences to their behavior.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because she is Putin’s tool and does nothing but spread misinformation.

she is Putin’s tool

Of course she is. The ( R ) is what makes it obvious.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not only does she not learn from history, she also doesn’t seem to learn anything, full stop.

[–] FlyingSquid 13 points 1 year ago

She doesn't want to learn anything. She already believes she has all the answers.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 year ago

What a traitorous hag.

[–] dhtseany 35 points 1 year ago

Man that lady is uneducated.

Outrage makes money.

[–] JustZ 2 points 1 year ago

There is no liberal media.

[–] DragonAce 24 points 1 year ago

Can we not give this moron free air time? This idiot, like Trump, just wants to remain in the limelight and bask in adoration. She doesn't give a damned about NATO or any other foreign policy, she just likes seeing herself on the news.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

Lol. Okay, Marjorie. Let's get you back to your room now...

[–] BeautifulMind 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maddening.

Not only is her rationale for scuttling NATO wrong (she argues that US defense spending 'goes to NATO', that's not how that works), the consequence of a US pullout of NATO would be disastrously bad for US and NATO interests

It's as if her amendment isn't seriously intended to become law so much as it's an opportunity to spout bullshit that people will believe

[–] just_another_person 16 points 1 year ago

I mean...it almost sounds like she's trying to help Russia, no?

[–] Reygle 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Her entire "career" is based on attention-getting alone- she's never helped anything. That doesn't benefit her.

[–] FordBeeblebrox 7 points 1 year ago

That's the entire GOP. Their idea of improving things is just a list of people to hate and reasons why rich people should pay less taxes. I'm consistently amazed at how many of these assholes show up without even pretending to have a plan forward and still get votes.

[–] Happy2bhere 17 points 1 year ago

"Bless her heart"

[–] assassin_aragorn 8 points 1 year ago

This has to be the most appropriate use ever of the term useful idiot.

[–] fox2263 6 points 1 year ago

In walks the US MIC ”No, I don’t think we will”

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

So? Who cares what that pig cunt wants to do? She’s irrelevant.

[–] FlyingSquid 18 points 1 year ago (50 children)

Considering she's on multiple committees and was instrumental in putting McCarthy into place, I wouldn't call her irrelevant.

That said, this particular bill will go nowhere.

This woman is uglier on the inside than the outside... And that's saying something because she looks like a horse's ass.
