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!

Remember when she chased down an underage survivor of the Parkland shooting and harassed him insinuating he was a crisis actor?

Fuck her, she's garbage. Make her miserable.

[–] CharlesDarwin 83 points 2 days ago

She is one of the very worst. I hope reporters up their game and keep asking her why she was okay with releasing terrorists.

Same with Democratic politicians - they should keep asking Republicans why they are okay with it. And they should ignore all the stupid logical fallacies they try to pull with the "butwhudaboutbidenandantifaandblm".

[–] UnderpantsWeevil 24 points 2 days ago

She's not miserable, she's immature. All she knows how to do is melt down in public. And, like a child having a tantrum, if it gets her what she wants then she'll keep doing it.

[–] eran_morad 24 points 2 days ago

Like 99% of republicans.

[–] rigatti 6 points 1 day ago

Please follow her around and keep asking her about J6.

[–] CharlesDarwin 96 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I want to see reporters ask all of these people why their party is fine with releasing terrorists.

I don't care if they are "sick of it", the qons need to answer for this, and if they don't, I hope they get hounded every turn.

The Democratic Party should be asking this at nearly every opportunity. By the way, it seems the excuse the likes of Watters has is that "they were definitely overcharged".

Yeah, terrorists. "Overcharged". These asshats will gaslight and troll about any behavior at all from their side.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 days ago (2 children)

"Overcharged"

Brought to you by supporters of Gitmo and border concentration camps.

[–] CharlesDarwin 12 points 2 days ago

Yeah, indeed. That is EXACTLY what I thought when I saw Watters smugly use that to try to swat aside the questions about releasing terrorists.

These are the fuckers that just fine with someone spending time in prison for accidentally voting incorrectly, but think the J6 terrorists are "overcharged". Fuck Watters with a rusty chainsaw.

mtg would have a meltdown if you asked her what day of the week it is. it’s the only reaction she’s capable of

[–] Shardikprime 7 points 1 day ago

Didn't knew MTG could meltdown without paying N number of colorless mana and 1 fire mana.

And why would they? It's basically more useful against a fully artifact deck.

Unless they pull the dark steel forge, then you are fucked

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 days ago

Fuck MTG. Fucking dirtbag.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 days ago (2 children)

That photo is insane. Why do Republican politicians all have that Satan look? I’m not religious by any means but they really look like demons in a skin suit.

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

Hey now, Satan didn't do anything deserving of that comparison! That's pure Fury of God right there

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago

MTG is a demon in a skin suit. So is Kristi Noem.

It's the eyes.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I hope she is. I hope the next fucking time she supports the fascist in chief doing evil shit, maybe she thinks about how fucking miserable she's going to be answering questions about it day in and day out and refuses out of sheer fucking laziness since she won't do it out of decency.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

She won’t. You know she won’t.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Yeah, but it's more likely she'll follow her own self interest over any sense of decency. Still no, but not as ridiculous of a no.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So just ask her to explain the actions of the people she supports and she goes insane?

[–] CharlesDarwin 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

She thinks asking a very pertinent question means the media "is out of touch" because "everyone hates the media".

She never grew out of high school Mean Girl mode.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Maybe if we start shaking the tree the weak ones will fall out, and they are easier to eat.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago (2 children)

..all lot of them walked through open doors....

What about the 22yr sentence dude?... he didn't get 22yrs for walking through a door.

This is also the 1st I've heard Biden pardon'd a rapist... who was that?

[–] CharlesDarwin 11 points 2 days ago

This is also the 1st I’ve heard Biden pardon’d a rapist… who was that?

Probably something terminally online MTG is fixated on, but I'm unsure of what she's blathering about.

Also, it is entirely irrelevant to giving a blanket pardon to the J6 terrorists. She obviously cannot answer the question without resorting to childish logical fallacies and saying no one cares and the media is out of touch. Bull fucking shit. It's 2-to-1 disapproval for pardoning terrorists, so she should answer the fucking question instead of insisting there is nothing to see here and "butJoeBiden" and continuing with her weird fixation on unrelated things like BLM and "antifa".

[–] Floodedwomb 4 points 2 days ago

She's probably referring to Hunter Biden, they have all kinds of conspiracies about him.
