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!

Never ceases to amaze me how this country has children as elected officials.
...
That's not how that works, lady.
It's out of character for her to get caught.
You don't understand, deep down she's a good person. All the shitty things she does day to day are just out of character
I manage a large team of tech employees. I also have two teams of student employees below me. The students are the mature ones in the bunch, and the employees require constant handholding and places to dump emotions. From experience, older generations didn't "grow up" in the same way as the younger ones, and that's because their realities are vastly different. 50 years ago, it was much easier to get through life without really growing up--now you have to grow up or perish.
Could we please please please stop talking as if children are the worst? Everytime somebody misbehaves, there's someone who calls it "childish" instead of "stupid" or "wrong".
She is exhibiting childlike behavior you would find on a schoolyard. What a weird thing to get hung up about.
I agree, you could find it on a schoolyard.
But it's not weird to get hung up about it, consider my angle: By talking like this, we're defaming or decrying children. It will lead to less self-determination for young people in general, thus promoting the gerontocracy.
Children are not expected to be in full control of their emotions. Children are not expected to be experts in any field. Children are not expect to create laws for the country. By comparing them to children, we are saying they do not have the mental maturity to handle their respective duties. Which is a perfectly reasonable way of putting it. Children should never be in charge of anything important. They should be figuring life and themselves out before their soul gets caught in the gears of capitalism and is crushed for its value.
They yearn for the mines
LOL you are being oppositional for its own sake. There is no issue here, you've just flat out made one up.
No, I was arguing in good faith; But I see it doesn't resonate with you at all, so i'll just leave it.
I bet you let your children scream and cry in restaurants and run around annoying everyone during public events.
