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!

She doesn't care and never did. She's an insurrectionist who tried to overturn the 2020 election. Here are excerpts from an op-ed she wrote in TownHall a week ago with my emphasis:

As a conservative who has fought for our values and principles for two decades in Arizona, I understand how vital it is to hold the line against a radical, left-wing agenda that threatens to fundamentally transform our nation. I also realize the importance of strategically fighting—especially when our party only controls one chamber in the legislative branch and a Democrat is in the White House.

The events of the past month, leading to the ouster of now former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, have not put our party in the best position to defend our nation against the onslaught of opposition by House and Senate Democrats and federal bureaucrats under the Biden Administration.
...
We must now come together as Republicans, uniting behind one leadership team to defeat the most radical and corrupt administration this nation may have ever experienced.
...
Biden has shamefully empowered the cartels to wreak havoc at the border, rendering federal, state, and local law enforcement absolutely helpless. Meanwhile, thousands of Americans are dying because of the relentless supply of fentanyl pouring across the border, and countless terrorists, gang members, and hardened criminals may likely be slipping past our agents into communities across our country.
...
Congress must stand against the Biden Administration’s attack on the future of our nation’s energy independence. Since the president took the oath of office in January 2021, Americans have seen a dramatic cost-of-living increase due to the reimagined energy policies of the Biden-led federal government. The attack on the limitless potential of American energy independence doesn’t stop with rising costs; the Biden Administration has even attempted to take away products that people like and want, like gas stoves and gasoline-powered cars. Biden and the Democrats want the federal government to tell us what we can use and drive.
...
we must hold the president accountable to justice if, in fact, he broke laws at any point in his career in government, specifically looking at his alleged business relationship with his son, Hunter Biden. Congress must get to the bottom of the facts surrounding how Joe Biden may have illegally used his position as Vice President of the United States to benefit his family financially and to influence any actions of foreign governments or actors.
...
This is too important of a time, though, to point fingers or to delay any longer on our mission to save Americans from the radical agenda being enacted by congressional and White House Democrats.

She didn't want to fix a fucking thing. She wanted to use misinformation, lies, and hate to maintain power. She's probably leaving because she's gotten a nice private sector job coming because of her whoring for oligarchs in Congress.
