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!

Foghorn Leghorn is worried?
"In the long run we're all dead" is just a quote from John Maynard Keynes IIRC (Keynesian economics)
Live like a lemming, die like one, Trump trash.
Glad the senator sees it.
That's my thinking here, like... Is he the first of many to realize they were wrong? Or will most of them just go down with the cult ship shouting praise the whole way?
They always express their concerns as soon as they have finished voting in favor.
they are know reminiscing they will end up like cheney and kazinger.

Don’t tease me with a good time
GOP isn't dead enough. Put them up against the wall.
as long as putins machine works its way through the gop, white supremecist groups and right wing news sources, they wont be dead enough.
Only four Republican senators Wednesday — Rand Paul (Ky.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Mitch McConnell (Ky.) and Susan Collins (Maine)
This is a wild list of hold outs. Couple of BS "center"ists, the functional leader of the GOP for the last few decades and a batshit libertarian extremist. Fuck all 4 of em anyways, monsters every single one. But gawdamn what a collection.

here's hoping
It must be nice to be dead and still able to live comfortably. Are they really worried about re-election? Who are their constituency going to vote for, a Democrat?
I was there for the "Republican Autopsy." It wasn't a death throe of the party at all. They reconfigured themselves in to a memetic virus of toxic masculinity and populism, built on a foundation of conspiracy-oriented magical thinkers and their fear of everything different from themselves. Republican voters don't give a damn about reality, they vote like they do so they can live in and perpetuate a mad fantasy. They will never stop, it's all they have.
Who are their constituency going to vote for, a Democrat?
honestly at this rate, probably.
Fossilized moderate democrats getting an erection for the first time since their 80th birthday at the thought of running on 2004 republicanism: "MOVE OVER LEFTISTS, IT'S OUR TURN IN THE SUN"
I wish.
If only there was some way this could have been prevented
slam
Lol at directly quoting Keynes.
