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!

Oh god MTG and I have something in common. We think the republican party has their head up their ass.

[–] billiam0202 41 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Heartbreaking: the worst bleach-blonde bad-built butch-body you know just made a good point.

[–] Sanguine 9 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Plenty to attack without using her appearance.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I mean she started it, it's a response from another Congresswoman after MTG attacked AOC's appearance.

(Shout out to the remixes of Bleach Blonde Bad Build Butch Body on soundcloud)

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

It wasn't AOC's appearance that was attacked. AOC just jumped to her (Jasmine Crockett's) defense after MTG attacked Crockett. Crockett, then, fired back at Greene.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Thanks for the clarification, I only saw an abridged clip of MTG's original comment and AOC looking frustrated, so I thought the comments were towards her and not Crockett.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

This is a pun related to statements made during a recorded session. They're not actually making fun of her appearance, but her behavior related to calling out another's appearance.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

It appears she is the average Republican. That's the worst looking thing about her.

[–] dogsnest 6 points 5 months ago

She told you about her head game.

[–] Sanctus 15 points 5 months ago (1 children)

How the fuck can the universe allow us to agree with this lump of flesh?

[–] b3an 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I feel like a lot of people don't. It's just so insane it makes the news whenever she word vomits. She thrives on the controversy. I think deep down she knows she's in too deep and just keeps doubling down. I kinda wish she'd have a aneurysm in the middle of a foaming at the mouth rant.

[–] Sanctus 4 points 5 months ago

It can't be good for blood pressure, I'm sure mental disorders compound always being that angry. Someone should do some digging and see if she was a resident of Elan School.

[–] fluxion 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

They all have their heads up Trump's ass

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Putin's ass

[–] Wrench 7 points 5 months ago

I wouldn't care if their heads were just up their own asses. It's their insistence on putting their heads up my ass that I take issue with.

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

I think you have to cut off one of your fingers every time that happens, out something.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Except its about impeaching Biden. So, you know, we agree with them on not following through on that one.

How I feel about this whole tirade is summed up well by Buck:

“ The Constitution says Congress shall count the votes. Doesn’t say Congress may overturn an election result. It doesn’t say Congress can do whatever the heck it wants with this election. ‘Shall count the votes,’ that’s what the Constitution says. In her CrossFit class maybe they didn’t cover that,” Buck told a local radio show

" And it also, the Constitution, also says that, you know, the impeachment of a president shall be based on treason, high crimes, and misdemeanors. It doesn’t say it’s a political exercise and we hope the Senate does the right thing."

Don't get complacent. The correct answer should always be "I couldn't care less what that MTG crazy turd has to think or say."

[–] [email protected] 59 points 5 months ago (5 children)

Today, we should be voting to impeach Joe Biden because of the invasion in the United States.

[–] Delusional 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Weird I didn't know that fucking idiot needed a reason to do something idiotic. Usually she just does idiotic stuff for no reason.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

Not no reason. It's the way she got to power and keeps herself in power. Generate all the bullshit and outrage you possibly can and keep yourself in the news cycle. Then go to your supports and shout: See? I'm pissing off all the libs, I must be doing something right!

These people might seem dumb, but it's all planned and calculated. They are the lowest of the lowest and aren't afraid to turn themselves into a dumb idiot when it suits their needs.

The only defense we would have was if social media didn't exist and the actual media would act responsible. The only reason their tricks work is because it keeps them in peoples eye. If we were to ignore these pieces of shit, they wouldn't get anywhere.

[–] barsquid 5 points 5 months ago

This is a psycho who follows high school shooting victims around to harass them. She has a severe case of brain worms.

[–] RGB3x3 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Of course, the border problem is Joe Biden's fault, enough to impeach, but Trump has/had no responsibility. Amazing cognitive dissonance from the dumbest member of Congress.

[–] CharlesDarwin 3 points 5 months ago

She was probably steaming over her favorite felon being found guilty on all 34 charges and saw a random brown person on her way to work or something.

[–] homesweethomeMrL 41 points 5 months ago

over their unwillingness to impeach President Joe Biden.

Oh.

[–] RGB3x3 24 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Hey Marj, you are the "feckless, useless Republican party."

Republicans continually have their head up their ass and can’t figure out how to actually use the power that the people gave us

Exactly what power did the American people give the republicans? They have a slight majority in the House of Representatives. That's it. They are in the minority in the Senate and they don't control the White House. If they did manage to impeach Biden in the House, it's not like the Senate would vote to convict. And honestly, the only reason the Republicans have the slim majority in the House that they do is because of the absurd levels of gerrymandering they've pulled off in red states. Frankly, if it weren't for all the gerrymandering, I'm pretty sure the Dems would have control of the House too.

So again, what power did the American people give the Republicans?

[–] candybrie 9 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

The power to select the speaker of the house. They really did make a mess of that. Twice.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Given the lack of other power, that's almost a "you had one job" kind of thing.

[–] Skanky 21 points 5 months ago

Can we maybe like not post anything about her? All she wants is attention - good or bad - and we're giving it to her.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I guarantee that with the amount of time you hear about this woman, positively of negatively, she will attempt to become the new Trump when he kicks the bucket (or otherwise taken out of commission) and all the fascists will happily line up behind her because she's just as fascist and well known.

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

I could see it, she's a russian asset just like shit stain.

[–] themeatbridge 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

She has none of the... I almost said "charisma" but that's not really what Trump has.

[–] SkyezOpen 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

She can string together sentences which reveals how insane she is. Trump just rambles about stuff his base likes and they love it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)
[–] themeatbridge 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'm trying to remember what that means in french, but I don't know what it is.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)
[–] themeatbridge 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I did, it doesn't know what either.

Lol, it's like trying to translate a phrasal verb and complaining it makes no sense.

Oh you're doing a bit aren't you?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

For once this person who in my mind is synonymous with 'bleach blonde, bad built, butch body' has said something I agree with; Ironic that she is also part of the problem, it's an accurate statement at least.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

Oh, Margie… You wanted a platform and you got it. Then you didn't know how to use it. I wish you had more success, what with your psychotic delusions and crazy belief in conspiracy theories, but the world just keeps on truckin'. Even the orange man didn't support you when you wanted to oust your religious-nut-job Speaker, who monitors the porn his son watches (Is there a term for getting off on watching your kids get off, like with wife cucking? If there is, that's him.)

Poor Margie. No one wants to play with you. I guess maybe you should take your ball and go home. Go home, Margie, and forget this whole charade you played in politics. No one will miss you but me. And only ironically, but hey – that's better than nothing.

[–] CharlesDarwin 7 points 5 months ago

Oooh, Karen is mad about her precious golden felon getting convicted.

[–] Treczoks 7 points 5 months ago

Mor likely, abuse the power given to your deranged party by some of the people.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

She continued, “don’t they know, we could just hand this country to Putin, right now! They’d buy it! They’d fucking buy it and call us patriots for our treason, just fucking like last time!”
