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!

That reminds me, I have to sharpen my guillotine this weekend.

Marjorie Trailer Queen just repping the Confederacy.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 days ago

MTG is an awful person.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 days ago (2 children)

The definition of a bitch.

I wouldn’t punch that face, I would drive over it repeatedly.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Put ice chains on your tires first.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

Spikes are just fine.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Actually, this would make you a cosmetic surgeon...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

It would help on her curb side appeal.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 4 days ago (2 children)

She needs to go back to the middle Paleolithic era with the rest of the Neanderthals.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

That is not fair to the Neanderthals. Archeology shows us they had compassion and love for their kin. She has nothing is her tar black heart but Jewish Space Lasers.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Hey, neanderthals weren't heartless, bigoted morons, you should compare her to shit, but even that is doing a disservice to shit since that can still help the soil with nutrients, unlike her who would only poison

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Agreed, apologies to the respectful Neanderthals.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 days ago

MTG looks like a very Mexican fake blonde.

...PST...this image is AI. No self loving Mexican would try to look like MTG in real life, but this is the closest our most advanced technology has been able to approximate the look.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 4 days ago

She should go back to her country. The wild country. Where she can gallop freely.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

Bleach blonde bad built butch body and fucking stupid too

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

A hinged tirade would be completely out of character for MTG.

Wild dogs are hard to tame.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

She has rabies.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

That women should have whacked MTA with her mic.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 days ago

"I don't care about your opinion", says MTG to journalist trying to ask her for her opinion.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 4 days ago

She's sooo angry, fragile and childish. Does noone ever call her out? She didn't say one thing related to the question, just spewed a lot of lies about other people and kissed trump's ass.

This is why they only allow the MAGA owned youtube 'journalists' and fox news at the White house now LOL.

[–] [email protected] 69 points 4 days ago

She truly is the pigeon strutting around shitting on the chess board 🤮

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

Can someone with two or more brain cells PLEASE move to GA-14 and run against this human cold sore?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I forget who but someone in Trumpworld is dating her and I threw up a little bit in my mouth imagining that concept. She looks like a possum that no one asked to prom.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

It’s some right-wing podcaster that I don’t care to look up, but he’s the one who asked Zelenskyy why he wasn’t wearing a suit.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 4 days ago (6 children)

There's plenty to criticise without resorting to ad hominem attacks on appearance.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

You know what? Nah. Let's get into it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Unfair to possums AND opossums

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Yeah, be nice to Mickey Rourke

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

Kristi Noem kills puppies and I’ll debate with you about whether that makes her a hideous troll who eats Billy goats under a bridge. But Marjorie Taylor Greene is haggard and I feel no remorse when I reduce her to someone who looks like a Family Dollar ass Shrek toy.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

You’re right. Possums are the last surviving marsupials in the western hemisphere. Game recognize game. I also survive in the Western hemisphere.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

Agreed. Possums didn't do anything to deserve that.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 4 days ago

Her tirade is unhinged, but MAGA’s constant repetition of the same exact false narratives about everyone from other countries is really insidious.

Repetition is important for getting into people’s memories. Repetition makes things feel true, even if they’re not. Even if someone knows it’s false the first time they hear it, they may unconsciously start to believe it after a few repetitions. The information becomes easier to recall than the actual truth.

I don’t know what point I’m trying to get at here, but this is the aspect of this news story that has made me the most uncomfortable. Just the reminder that the far-right knows this and they’re using it to their advantage. They’re repeating obvious falsehoods, but the rate and intensity at which they’re saying them is alarming.

[–] [email protected] 72 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Unhinged? It’s racism plain and simple.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Racism is asserting an inferiority or superiority based on natural race; passively or aggressively.

You can't just use it any time you see two cultures or societies giving each other shit about their politics, foods, social customs, etc. The context of genealogy needs to be included, i.e. race. Jokes about British teeth are much closer to racism than what dumb-dumb said.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

This is the Jewish space lasers lady. I promise you she thinks British people and American white people aren't the same peoples. That's not because there's any truth to that claim just that she's that dumb.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Nah it’s racism it always is with her.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Not always? If my English cousins don’t want Welsh people around that’s xenophobia not racism.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 4 days ago

In this case, since the slurs were a aimed at a white UK reporter by an unhinged white woman, it was jingoism.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago

The most Karen-y Karen that ever Karen'd.

[–] [email protected] 151 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Marjorie Taylor Green is only capable of unleashing unhinged tirades. She is a person who only knows conspiracy theories, while thinking she sounds like a normal politician. The fact that she is probably the number 2 politician in the MAGA movement tells you all you need to know about the caliber of MAGA dopes and their total lack of self-awareness.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 4 days ago (1 children)

She was also re-elected. Her constitutents are degenerates who love this bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Mentally-ill degenerates!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago

What a moronic and absolutely disgusting person she is. It's almost hard to believe this isn't a fictitious clip from a movie or something.
