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!

This is unjust. But resources wasted on WY royalty will be diverted away from vulnerable people.

I won't cry for Cheney, who spent her life feeding the beast that's eating her now, but this is a horrendous precedent and someone should stop it.

There was an opportunity to do that a little over a month ago. But because Democrats didn't put up the god-perfect candidate, voters opted for the dictator, then complained when he started acting like a dictator.

No one asked for god-perfect, they asked for not shit and who cared about their concerns.

Sadly the DNC decided they know what’s best for everyone and threw the election.

Yup, obviously they should have realised that Drump was a fine candidate whose personal charm, decorum and honestly would overwhelm any other candidate.

obviously

Yeah, this isn't a Godzilla vs Kong situation. More like the blob absorbing and growing bigger.

GOP eat GOP

Time is crawling for me now. The impending destruction has made every minute stretch into a year. Its absolutely insane that investigators of an attempted coup that got one person killed and many injured, as well as shit all over our capital building, would be charged.

The calm before the shitstorm.

Let conservatives fight conservatives.

Liz Cheney cares as much about us as her dad cared about an entire generation of soldiers sent to war off a lie he told.

This is bad because it’s an attempt to scare other conservatives to fall in line with the MAGA Nazi shit, and will probably work. It’s the same shit as the Nazi party in the Weimar Republic eating the conservatives who weren’t as right before assuming absolute power. Same playbook.
