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!

I think we missed Rep Crocket's poignant question after Greene insulted her appearance:

Just to better understand your ruling, if someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody’s bleach blonde, bad-built butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct?

Also it's worth watching the entire thing to see how crass and ignorant, especially Comer lack of intelligence of the rules, Republicans were.

I mean the fact that they are always fighting rather than finding compromises to help the citizens tell me how stupid they are.

Drop the high road shit.

She insulted someone’s fashion and then called someone else dumb.

While possibly being the second dumbest person in Congress behind Boebert, but they're a toss up.

Dual airbags are for cars, not congress.

She needs the shit kicked out of her. I'm not joking. Some blowhards just need the dumb beaten into them. They think they can be a giant pain in the ass and we have no choice to listen. But when they realize there is actual danger behind what they say they change their tune real quick.

I think we can get to full blown idiocracy by 2050, 2500 was such an overestimate.

Greene thinking someone else doesn't have intelligence lol

The bleating donkey bleats. Moron.

Hey now. Donkeys are intelligent and sensitive animals with soft ears. This is... Something else

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Apologies to donkeys. How about a howler monkey?

When will AOC start beating mtg with a cane?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

“A what now?”

[–] EvilEyedPanda 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Didn't she argue that senators need to be paid more, is this the behavior that deserves a pay raise?

[–] jeffw 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Not sure about that but she’s not a senator

[–] EvilEyedPanda 2 points 5 months ago

My fault, she's a Rep, but she did complain about her pay
