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.

Did she suddenly discover she has a gay cousin or something?
Wtf is with this turn-around?
She wants the Epstein files released so she can ride the negative sentiment to a position more prominent in party leadership.
She wants the Epstein files released because she thinks the secret codes to the Jewish space lasers are in there somewhere. I also think antisemitism explains her willingness to call out Israel for genocide (which, like, to be clear, shouldn't be an antisemitic stance at all, but MGT is a dumb hateful bitch who thinks every single Jewish person is in on some massive conspiracy to rule the whole world so of course she stupidly folds the real crimes of Israel and Epstein into that bullshit).
What a time to be alive. When you can be born with room temperature IQ and convince the masses you're the person who will represent them.
Hate to break it to ya but most of her constituents aren't any smarter.
No doubt, but how that motivation has separated from the unquestionable support of Trump is what is the most worthy hair. She is certainly the only one so truly and faithfully to stick to her alleged motives of Epstein transparency, and she has certainly the only one currently who has stuck to that, despite how it may be betray Trump’s current agenda.
And that’s why we’re having this conversation. Welcome to now.
You asked what the turnaround was and I told you. Welcome yourself to now. I’m fucking sick of this place.
Yeah, and my previous comment did nothing but 100% agree with what you said before but also to further support your agenda. So perhaps you could explain it to me, but I’m not entirely certain why you’re getting so snappy with me right now because I am definitely on your side.
Read your first comment back to yourself and imagine it’s someone else talking to you. Your last two sentences of your first reply make you sound very snarky.
Pretty ridiculous to tell me that you know what I’m saying better than I do
I never said anything like that, so please save the gaslighting for someone else. I said your comments come across as snarky. This is my last reply.
Hallucinate your delusional persecution, somewhere else, you crazy fuck bag. I have spent decades, putting crazy assholes like you in institutions.
You’re blocked. Any response is simply proof that I know you’re crazy, and you had no self-control.
Enjoy going and fucking yourself, bye-bye
She said it herself, her kids' insurance rates will go up. That's money out of her pocket, therefore bad, therefore we should reconvene the house to prevent it.
Guess she should have been born a billionaire like a smart Republican
She's a true believer, and doesn't understand why all the grifters aren't marching onward with the crusade. She probably legitimately believes the Epstein files exonerate Trump.
I have a graduate degree in psychology, and I still don’t fucking get what motivates this type of person…
Like, I get it, but she is a fucking special case. A very special case.
What the hell is going on here?
I’m afraid that even trying to figure out may, in fact, drive me insane.
You would know better than me, but just from personal life experience, I tell people "Don't try to ascribe rational motivations to irrational actors, because the effort will just make you crazy in turn."
@blave@lemmy.world please translate for the lulz: how would a psychologist say this?
She probably wants to run in a state wide position, and therefore needs to appeal to a broader set of people. I doubt she's had some change of heart.
She positioning herself to run for president in 2028, by distancing herself from certain issues, like the Epstein Files.
She did say she wants to make Trump's EOs law, so she still being a worthless cunt.
Honestly, it's very possible that someone close to her told her that trump actually sucks.
If someone whose opinion she valued explained why trump was awful, without pivoting to supporting the lesser-evil democrats, she's compelled to listen to reason to avoid becoming the politician that these people hate.
This might come as a shock to you all, but a lot of conservatives are conservative because they recognize the Party of Clintons does not have their interests at hand. Democrats would have better results in elections if they ran more candidates like Bernie Sanders, but they don't want to pay more in taxes so we end up with the Clintons and a culture war.
spoiler
I fully expect a useful idiot to reply saying "conservatives don't represent them either," and that's true. Neither party represents the working class. However, since our rulers get richer by dividing us with a culture war, that's what each party encourages.Until we can stop succumbing to their two-pronged strategy, we shouldn't expect the political climate to improve. I won't hold my breath.
Yeah, this is weird. Her being one of the most "reasonable" republican even more concerning to me. I know they a screwed up, but when they go so far that she isn't willing to go....
The Russian money ran out, probably.
