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!

I know right? This guy isn't flirting with anything, he's unabashedly a christian nationalist. He straight up said that the US isn't a Democracy, that it's a Christian Republic, and that there's no separation between church and state. He is 100% a christo-fascist and anyone who can't see that is blind. He's one of the most dangerous people in our government right now, because unlike Trump he's scarily competent and might actually be able to pull off the coup that Trump attempted. The only hope we have is that he gets swept aside in the GOP infighting that's currently going on and that the DNC manages to seize control of the house and senate in 2024. If Republicans win the presidential election and retain control of at least one of the houses our democracy might never recover.
Fuck. Mike Johnson has all the characteristics of high political society that Trump wishes he had, certainly the intelligence to implement it, and the surprise factor to fuck the entire U.S. over.
The LGBTQ advocates who worked against Johnson in Louisiana have a warning—for members of Congress, and the public. “I think it’s really important that people in this country don’t underestimate him,” says Frances Kelley, former field director for Equality Louisiana. “He will try to persuade you in the nicest way possible, while he’s trying to take away your rights.”
This dude is a "Bless your heart" while I stab you to death kind of person.
Where has the media been while this monster was just a congressman? Is it just OK to be a fascist in congress?
How about we start getting around the clock coverage about the other fascists who haven't been put in charge yet so ground level people can start running for office and replacing them?
There's so many of them in congress now, its not viable. Also Fascists have been a fixture of American demcoracy since 1776!
Flirtation? He's been gobbling nazi-jesus' knob for decades.
Much like my long flirtation with my wife
He's also a right winger. This is what domestic terrorism from the right is going to look like up until the next election. A mentally unstable man who doesn't like that trump lost and is continuing to lose. Check on your right wing friends (maybe former) and make sure they aren't going down this hole. Talk about anything but politics.
