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!

Trying to imagine a world where Mcturtle would have whipped the vote to indict that piece of shit donvict and throw him in prison where he fucking belongs.

Justice would have been done. Would that have torched Mcturtle's career and possibly put him in the line of fire for all the murderous magabrained dumbasses out there wanting to get revenge for their god-emperor being dealt with properly?

Yes. But still. He should have done everything possible to get donvict behind bars.

...then f*cking impeach, you whiny little bitch...

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

Even mcturtle has this one right.

More likely: Russia loses, America loses, everyone loses

Except Canada. I'm betting they come out ahead cause they've been nice to everyone.

Entirely a product of his design, Russia would not be anywhere near as influencing today if not for his regressive agenda and undermining US democracy.

Without Moscow Mitch, Putin would still be at the Ukraine border throwing tantrum as more sanctions are thrown in his regime.

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

So says the key ingredient to this shit sandwich served up to the American people.

That stupid fuck

Fuck you, McConnell! You could’ve fixed this easily years ago. Instead you were too far up Donald’s ass. Go to hell!

Oh look, Moscow Mitch has figured it out!

He wasn't one of the dumb ones who had a revelation, he's one of the soulless ones who sold us out

I can not wait for the cross-country road trip I'm going to take to piss on his grave.

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

I think urinals should be installed over his and donvict's.

Mitch McConnell's only possible path out of hell is to strap 20 pounds of C4 to himself and going to shake hands with Donny.

It's clear to me now that Polio actually contracted Mitch McConnell

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

Yeah, no shit Michie, that is what you've been working on all this time

If you're too dumb to understand that then...nog fuck it, just die already and them please, and I mean this with all the passion in my atheist heart; burn in hell. Forever.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

What did McConnell say? It's hard to understand him with Trump's balls in his mouth.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I figured they were typically resting on his chin with the mushroom in his mouth.

But maybe he likes to chortle the balls.

Fuck off fuckface

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 days ago (3 children)

I hate that we're still thinking about things in these terms. It's not Americans versus Russians, it's Americans, Russians, and pretty much everyone the fuck else versus our leadership. Putin fuckin sucks, so does our leadership, and it's the people of the US, the people of Russia, and all the people we impact that pay the price for it. If the average Russian gets ahead in life over me, it doesn't impact me. In fact, good job, bud, I'm happy for you. If our fucking asshole leaders get yet another leg up, though, it impacts basically everyone.

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

I said this years ago and got flamed on Reddit.

The oligarchs and the intelligence agencies of every major power are more friends than they are with citizens of their own nations. China and the US and Russia are friends at a certain income threshold. The enemy bullshit is for us peons

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

Gotta tell ya, there are an unfortunate number of Russians and Americans that support shitty leadership because they’re shitty people and they want shitty things to happen, and a bunch more that are willing to look the other way if they perceive it helps them somehow.

My guess is he's got a few more years to go, but from the color of the skin not as many as orange boy. Turtle man you'll sorely be. Did I miss something? Nah looks good, post it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I'll support McConnell over any other GOP if he keeps up what hes been doing since January. Nobody else on that team voted against Hegseth, Gabbard, and RFK jr.

Maybe they could be the straw that breaks the camels back and allows for Trump to be impeached and removed in the future. Just need 13 GOP senators to cross before midterms, maybe less afterwards.

[–] [email protected] 60 points 4 days ago (2 children)

says the motherfucker who's entire career has been to attack his own country and sell it to Russia...

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Maybe this was a celebratory statement?

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

Oh lord, you could be totally right

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

China.

Future headline? That was the headline on Nov. 6th last year.

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

Oh look Mitch, it's the consequences of your own actions.

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

His little "omg how did this happen" face. Nothing more pathetic seeing as how he helped this regime come into power.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

"Mumble mumble mumble, turtle turtle, empty political statement...om-nom, good samwidge..."

NO, motherfucker, this is not a game anymore! Get the fuck out of the way, because we need some people DOING things around here! Trump isn't killing the United States, it's the lack of opposition. These old-money-party Democrats are fiddling around while Rome burns.

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

McConnell is a retiring Republican senator, but I get your point.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Either do something or stfu, traitor.

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

Technically he is the lone GOP senator to vote against 3 Trump nominees and to openly side with Ukraine.

If we celebrate him and a few more GOP jump on tbat bandwagon it could be phenomenal.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

How to celebrate McConnell

Only way to celebrate McConnell imo.

That or send a Mario brother to deal with a turtle.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I guess I wouldn't be all that upset if he died but it wouldn't make any difference at all because the Republicans would still have a comfortable senate majority.

If anything it would probably make senators more afraid to oppose Trump.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, compared to the newest batch of anti-american traitorous qon scum, mcturtle is almost one of the good Republicans. And I threw up a little bit in my mouth even typing that.

But at least he had a pair enough to say that the polio vaccine is, well, a thing. Because he's not a complete dumbfuck like some of these younger asshats, who are breeding all kinds of stupidity and awfulness to far surpass his version of conservative Republican. The new, younger assholes are just pure Dunning-Kruger Nazi 2.0 stuff.

People kept telling me - and keep telling me, in fact - that somehow the newer generation(s) are magical beings that will somehow save all the rest of us. Not sure I believe that for a second when the qons are cranking out people far fucking worse than old Mitch.

I don't understand this mother fucker. He worked all his life against this country and now he's shocked its having issues and may lose ground to a competitor?

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

He's not the majority leader any more, and without all the sycophants flattering and distracting him, it turns out that someone has been systematically sabotaging US democracy going back years.

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

Reminds me of German chancellor Franz von Papen. He was instrumental in bringing Hitler to power but he never accepted responsibility for it, even though he lived until 1969!

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

Hell is too good for him, is there a Super Hell?

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

Really? You dumbfuck. You allowed this to happen.

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

Did he fill his diaper again?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago

That's already the headline, Moscow Mitch (you fucking bitch).
