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!

This is very good, thank you.
This is great. Unfortunately, they will just rebrand and start over.
Just as conservatives always do. They keep assuming they lost as a public relations problem, and not because their ideas are terrible.
That's fine, we know their MO and can help them fail faster next time.
I'd like to be optimistic over this... But with Chaya Raichik having been recently appointed to the Oklahoma schools Library Advisory Committee, that optimism is hard to keep.
Moms for Liberty might be imploding, but there certainly isn't any shortage of other people or groups willing to keep up the far-right's anti-LGBT crusade...
Small bright side, they'll continue getting busted for the various perverted skeletons in their in their closets.
Not every bigot is a perv, pedo, or closeted - but the loudest ones going forth to fight the fight always are.
Their crusade continues in NC.
So... arrest them for using the 'wrong' bathroom or arrest them for 'indecent exposure.' Nice choice you're giving them, Mark.

I'm sure that none of those pious moms would ever want to see the statues and art work at the Vatican. They would be struck dumb and blind. Uh-oh. Too late. They're already dumb.
Wish they were dumb how it's meant in that phrase.
Conservatives hate The Vatican now, and won't go there because The Vatican City raised the age of consent from 12 to 18 in 2013
Well, the dumb part of 'dumb and blind' was the inability to speak. Which we now call mute.
It's all fun and games until the cameras come out during threesomes
I mean, good, but was it really only kept together by a closeted bisexual and only started collapsing after she was outed?
(I am ignorant)
It was kept together by an organized foreign influence campaign intended to influence US electoral politics.
And what a scandal lol. I have no idea why someone would work with an organization that they need to hide their sexuality from, especially when it isn’t the norm.
Well the weird thing with that is that performative bisexuality on the part of a woman inside a heterosexual relationship framework where the idea is that it is in service to a man's desire for sexual liasons with multiple female partners is sort of conceived by some people as "heterosexuallity plus"... A lot of the moral panic doesn't kick in unless another male partner is introduced or there becomes strong evidence that the female partnership is continuing to happen when the male isn't around.
I could totally see one of these arrangements developing into a full blown romantic affair between two women but the compulsory heterosexual frame work providing more than enough internal gas lighting and refusal to reflect so they never connect the dots that they are in fact queer. It's basically the distinction between kink and identity.
Internalized homophobia be a trip.
It really is a trip.
Lots of people will go against their best interest in the name of fitting in or having the slightest amount of power. This isn't a new phenomenon. These days people do it for a viral social media clip....
There’s also the Moms for Liberty organizer who was a convicted sex offender that was identified about a month before the bisexual couple. Their candidates had been losing plenty of local elections before all these scandals came out because it turns out a lot of people don’t want to elect crazy book banning people to their local school boards.
And her husband accused of sexual assault, and a lost of interest from the not extrem members.
That's exactly what happened lol
