Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

MODERATORS
This isn't a Republican thing.
It's a federal government thing. Congress, SCOTUS, the President and anyone in their sphere are largely insulated from any accountability for corruption. Hell, they can insider trade and loan their campaigns cash at 20%, then pay themselves back with your campaign contributions, and it's not even considered unethical, much less illegal.
I wish it was just a Republican thing, but Democrats like free money too, and their deliberate choice not to ban these practices when they're in power (and they've had plenty of power over the last two decades to end them) demonstrates their complicity.
~~federal~~ government thing. not universal, but some places are worse about it than others.
