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.

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!

Mike’s about to lose control and I think I like it
I fully support the leaking of Star Trek memes into other Lemmy communities
Johnson should have been been a bit more humble. it was a Speakership. should have gone with being Aron instead of Moses.
clearly god is punishing him for his hubris.
(/s)
Why the /s? He said God called him to serve. And now it looks like God is telling to sit his ass back down.
Ramen.
Don't tease me with a good time.
“It’s violence against the speaker,” Rep. Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican, told NOTUS of discharge petitions.
What a fucking drama queen. Violence is when we can't obstruct on behalf of Trump and Putin!
It would be a shame if this christofascist wound up with egg on his face. Can I please be there to taunt him?
Well, the anti democratic swill that are the Rethuglican congress members are showing their true colours as Ruzzian collaborators.
why did anybody everything wordplay in politics was a good idea, i genuinely can't stand it. You wanna make shitty jokes be my guest, do something other than mashing two words together because funny.
It looks stupid when republicans do it, it looks dumb when liberals do it. It's not very clever, it doesn't aid at all in making ANY point. I don't even see the humor.
maybe i'm just too disillusioned for this shit.
No, you're right. It's dumb.
it really is, it's so obnoxious i genuinely can't stand it.
I think i would actually respect someone less if they did it infront of me IRL.
I try to downvote ever post where I see that crap. This name calling shit is childish and serves no purpose. Hell, it maybe makes things worse.
People on the name calling side, "Yeah! We scored one!"
People on the other side, "Fucking children."
literally this.
I am not the kind of person to tell on people cuz i just don't give a shit. But genuinely, i think this should be a firable offense.
I genuinely think an employer presented this post, should reconsider said employment.
god i fucking love the house. I really fucking hate it, but sometimes i really fucking love it.
It's an abusive relationship that i should really get figured out...
Dozens of us! Dozens!!
one might argue it starts in the hundreds, considering house members are probably already a part of this.
OH NO!!!!
Anyway…
This implies he had control in the first place
