Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Summary

During a House Oversight Committee hearing, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) repeatedly shouted an anti-trans slur despite objections from Democratic Rep. Gerald Connolly.

She defended her remarks by attacking transgender rights and dismissing criticism.

The outburst drew condemnation from LGBTQ+ advocates and political figures, highlighting her shift from previously supporting LGBTQ+ rights to embracing anti-trans rhetoric.

Mace has used the slur in past statements and introduced legislation restricting transgender rights.

The MAGA Cult holy grail is when they can keep their careers intact after shouting the N-word in the capitol and say that they don't care.

They're almost there. Keep sleeping, murica

The actual stripping of protections, the laws they are or will pass, those are bad enough already, but sometimes it feels like the worst part is just how brave these bigot shitfuckers have become now that their pet nazi is in power. They don't even have the decency to be afraid to fly their hate flag anymore. They were always shitty people, but at least they used to feel like the country at large would reject them for expressing their true feelings, hence all the pushback against "Cancel Culture." Now, though, they're not even afraid of ostriziation, much less anything more substantial.

Can’t she, like, shut the fuck up? I wish our paths were to cross.

What a vile human.

Shouldn't she be hiding in a bathroom somewhere, faking injuries while trying to inspect other people's genitals?

N. Mace is really focusing on lowering the price of chicken eggs I see.

I hope she chokes on her vomit in her sleep.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Realistically, I'd be happy for her to choke on pretty much anyone's vomit. Extra points for creativity.
