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!

Why is the crazy Jewish space laser lady making sense right now? Is reality breaking down?
She has a very specific ideology, and the bailout disagrees with it. She's an awful human being and I hate all the things she says and does, but at least she's somewhat consistent about her stance?
The upsetting side of this is that it means MTG actually believes in things beyond her own self enrichment, which is a good quality, and means I have to begrudgingly give her a modicum of respect for it because it makes her vastly more human than most of the rest of the ghouls in the GOP/MAGA
I would recommend giving her credit for a few good talking points. Hold off on the respect, though. I doubt she's come that far.
To keep in mind that another true believer is RFK Jr. While a true believer in some ways can be less vile, they still can be even more dangerous than the ones running a con.
A conman is a better conman when they believe their own schtick.
I think it is far more likely that Trump has been pissing off Russia, and that's why all his puppets in congress have all of a sudden started talking about what a bad idea Trump is, and the Epstein files. She doesn't give a shit about things as far as I can tell.
I'm not convinced. If her kids weren't facing higher health care costs she probably wouldn't care about it. Republicans have time and again shown that they're incapable of supporting issues that don't directly affect them. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a farmer that she knows personally who's been affected by diarrhea don's policies.
She's getting her news from a real news source and reality, not just fox news and right wing propoganda is my guess.
She's an attention wh*re starved for relevance.
Whore, you can say whore. Your mommy isn't going to come out of the shadows and discipline you.
.ml censors it and just shows the word "removed." So it's not my mommy, it's my server.
Get a new server brother.
Move off of .ml. it's got to be a rite of passage for new lemmy users these days
Grownups can also choose not to.
Use the fucking word or don't use the cunting word. For the love of fucking god. Stop normalizing this stupid fucking self censorship horsehit you fucking shitty dirt cunt frog queefs.
Dude I hope this is the stupidest shit you argue about this week. Because this is a dummmmmb thing to be worked up about.
Using curse words doesn't make you a big boy, or some sign of maturity.
There actually is a positive correlation between casual use of expletives and intelligence, including emotional intelligence. So it's definitely associated with big boys and can be a sign of maturity.
DID YOU HEAR THAT YOU FUCKING DROOPING SHIT TAXIDERMIST? IM FUCKING SMART AND SHIT. 1+1=5. TARIFFS ARE A GREAT IDEA. WE NEED TO ABANDON THE MODERN WORLD AND JUST START FARMING KALE. KALE FARMS FROM SEA TO CERULEAN FUCKING SEA. SO. MUCH. FUCKING. KALE.
Again: use them or don't. I have no issue with either of those. What I have issue with is the middle ground.
