I know this isn't why they voted against it, but the mass surveillance / censorship bill tacked onto this that's vainly disguised as a TikTok ban is pretty scary.
Fuck the GOP.

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!

These 112 House Republicans voted against Ukraine aid
So very Jesus of them. /s
Reagan has got to be doing cartwheels in his coffin right now.
Good for Speaker Johnson. It was a mistake for the far right to support him. He's an evangelical, but he's also a true believer, rather than a grifter. When fully briefed on the intelligence, he ultimately chose to do the right thing.
This thread is great because pro-Russian morons are exposing themselves so it makes it real easy to block them.
makes it real easy to block them.
FYI, when you block someone on Lemmy, they can still see your posts, and can respond to them.
The only thing that truly happens is that you can't see what they're saying/replying.
That's good enough for me. I don't need to read the bullshit stuff they say anyway. like, "it doesn’t make one “pro russia” if you don’t think sending BILLIONS of dollars to a foreign country is a great idea." .. what a tool
Fair enough, but they could be undermining your comments and you wouldn't know it. Just saying.
That's fine. They likely have more free time than I do to argue about nothing and for those that see their bullshit, they'll just vote it down.
and for those that see their bullshit, they’ll just vote it down.
Thats one way of looking at it. 🤷😇
