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!

MODERATORS
Every journalist, in every interview, should ask him if 2020 was stolen and how, until he admits it was a lie or becomes liabile for defamation.
He was asked about the 2020 election shortly after he was elected speaker. The Republicans all booed the reporter's question and Johnson just skipped answering.
Please do not pollute the internet with such inaccurate filth.
The Republicans all booed the reporter's question, mocked her, openly laughed in her face, then told her to shut up. Then he just skipped answering.
That whole press conference was a MAGA victory lap.
Such a diverse representation of the People's House.
There’s a black guy there. You can see his ear in the back.
its so bright im blind!
Let the new shitshow begin!
Boy, they really worked hard to find such a crank for that spot. Sure beats actual intelligence, i guess.
Should have known something was up about this guy when they just rammed him through at record speed.
We literally went from "There's nobody in the GOP that can get to 217" to "Hey here's Mike Johnson out of nowhere he's perfectlyfinenowletsjustramhimthroughinrecordtimemovealongnothingtoseeherejustvoteforhim" in a couple of hours.
He had all the baggage of Jim Jordan, if not more. They were just hoping nobody would notice.
Who else to lead the Crazy Party other than someone who is crazy?
Comments made in 2020, for what that's worth.
Has he recanted or otherwise apologized for those remarks? If not, they remain relevant today.
I agree. I just wanted to make clear the date, since I was curious about it myself.
and I have a bridge in Myanmar I'm looking to sell, it's a great deal too.
That guy looks like he spent a good portion of childhood trying to become a real boy. And then, once he got his wish, he immediately turned evil.
What the Democratic Party must do, and do well, is make sure this weird little elf of a "man" (along with the gross and criminal little d) is made the face of the Republican Party.
They need to do everything to highlight that this is who they are.
