Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

MODERATORS
Don't worry, Trump now will see him as The Enemy and use everything at his disposal against him.
McConnell just might be the first one to draw the ire this term.
I mean, probably. Unfortunately, McConnell's actually right for once. Whether he's right for the right reasons is irrelevant at the moment.
The enemy of my enemy.
We can agree with him and root for him. Just keep in mind who he is and what he's done. Don't allow a short memory to curb that perspective.
In the meantime, while the monsters fight we should be collectively working to shore up things in our communities. I'm working on mine.
Accidentally right is still right!
Any chance McConnell will fall out a window in the near future?
I'm with you, but I don't see Trump going after anyone on his personal revenge list before Obama and Biden. Won't start the deportation/concentration camp bullshit in earnest until after a few of those because he has to prove to the legislature that he controls them before he does anything too unpopular or evil.
McConnell realizes that Trump's a lame duck. The Congresscritters want to remain in office in '26 and after. They don't give a shit what happens to Trump.
