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!

If he thinks moral clarity is important he wouldn't be a Republican

If Republicans believe this, they should pass a bill obligating the President to send more support to Ukraine. I bet that would get enough support from both parties to get past the inevitable Presidential veto. Then, they should hold his feet to the fire and impeach his ass again if he impounds the money.

They won't do any of this, because "moral clarity" takes a back seat to avoiding a Musk-funded primary challenge for their seat in the next election.

Republicans will never impeach. even if trump went personally around the house a took a hot shit on every GOP representatives desk. They'd still take a big sniff and say thank you.

Then they'd blame the dems

Republicans preaching moral clarity is like pimps preaching chastity.

What does it matter to the king what the rabble thinks?

Every so often that kind of thing goes badly for them. Just ask the French

The Kings in France had a very long run.

Don Bacon represents one of the most purple districts in the US, according to polls. He is continuing the proud Nebraska tradition, spearheaded by Ben Sasse, of making occasional headlines separating himself from the MAGA movement to appeal to "centrist" voters, while also doing nothing of consequence with his votes or committee placements to actually hinder the agenda he is "calling out" here.

Also, personally, interacting with Don is like sticking your hands in old dish water and rooting around for bit. But that's neither here nor there.

We got a special operation occurring here in the US though. And there are Nazis! Just not at all how Putin & Co. put it. That's because they're lying sons of bitches.
