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
There are a few smart Republicans and some that are politically savvy in a Machiavellian sense, but the vast majority of them are as dumb as rocks, although Tuberville is a special kind of moron. He's not even competent to be the village idiot.

He knows it hurts people, specifically women, and that makes him happy.
dumbest person in the senate, and that is really saying something.
Once Boebert gets voted out of the house, he'll be in the running for the dumbest person in all of Congress!
Yeah, it’s definitely between Tuberville and Ron Johnson for the dumbest dumb-dumb in the Senate.
Well, he is a Republican. Which means that he is not smart enough to be better.
Of course The Tuber has no idea what IVF is or it's purpose. All he knows how to do is use his position to profit in the stock market.
And help Russia, however he can
That's just GOP SOP at this point.
GOP = Government Of Putin
Informed that IVF is a method by which people are able to have children when they otherwise could not, and that some clinics have paused the procedure as a result of the ruling, Tuberville responded, “Well, that’s for another conversation. We need more kids. We need people to have the opportunity to have kids.”
This man’s job description is as a representative of the people.

Oh my God.
Watched his interview— he is an absolute moron.
I would love to see a 1 hour round table discussion on this issue with Tuberville, Ron Johnson, Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene— and no moderator 😂
I’m a politically aware person. I read a lot of news, I enjoy my American polling to find out what people align with. That interview of Tuberville is horrifying. I’m use to disagreeing with these fuck wads, but this is a whole new level of stupid.
Tommy Tuberville is one of the most dangerous politicians in America and that man doesn’t have two fucking brain cells to rub together. I’m not sure if this is a mark of the average Alabama voter (probably) but holy fuck is this man an actual idiot. Green, Bobs, Johnson, even Gatez are all incredibly stupid, but Tuberville is dangerous, stupid and mentally deficient with actual power. He’s crippled our military, made a mockery of our political system and put god over party and country (and if I recall he’s even said the system in his view goes God, Party then Country).
