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!

"Calling things unconstitutional" is the new "calling things woke".

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

That's such an unconstitutional thing to say!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Any member of the media or foreign power representative must allow Trump to rape them in broad daylight with his world famous big ....ohhh, thar won't be necessary thank you...$10,000,000.0! That's right, if you need to speak with the guy you give him 10 million in small bills... Fives, tens and twenties please.

Mike Johnson believes he can force Jesus to return by nuking the Middle East, and reporters should be demanding he answer questions about it.

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

What an arrogant prick. God should smite his sorry ass.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Jesus should return and bitch slap him with the power of Christ.

Things aren't going sideways fast enough for little Moses Mikey.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

That shithead shouldn't use words he doesn't have any hope of understanding.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

So you want a king, yes? You people sure took a roundabout way to get back to where you started.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Party of small government everybody. If they didn't have double standards and lies, they wouldn't have any standards or things to talk about.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Getting rid of congress would make the government smaller

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

yeah! just one guy - can’t get smaller than that! /s

Mike Johnson is fucking spooky. I've been saying this for a few years now, when his Covenant Eyes usage made news.

He is a true believer, he's on a mission from god. He's smart. He will not care about the people crushed by the machine, as that is the fruit of their depravity in his worldview.

Watch this motherfucker. Trump and Vance are motivated by greed and power. You need to look to fundamentalist Islamic leaders for a similar mindset to Johnson.

I would think Netanyahu is closer to the greed and corruption model. He needs the war to keep his slimy ass out of jail.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Netanyahu is a Zionist. The circumstances that he's brought upon himself don't negate that fact.

The US was Zion for almost all of the Jews until the end of WWII. This isn't a coincidence.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

okay, that's immaterial to the current discussion.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How is Netanyahu being a cultist immaterial to a discussion about true believers that are causing evil with their positions of power?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Because, at the end of the day, Netanyahu will do or say anything to save his neck. He's not a fanatic like Johnson. He's like Trump and Vance.

I.E. Johnson would die for his beliefs and will kill or allow the deaths of those that he considers to be evil/subhuman like: queer people, immigrants, any religion other than Christianity or Judaism, etc.

Netanyahu will kill or do anything to protect or enrich himself. His Zionism is just a useful tool, and if it didn't serve him, he'd drop it. (Not that that would ever be the case) Netanyahu would load jewish babies into a wood chipper while sucking off an Imam if it would keep him alive.

Look at what these people do, not what they say.

You're so wound up on the whole Israel thing that you're missing the point. Also, quit doing this purity test crap. It leaves you unable to understand the nuance in these things.

Johnson is more of a true Zionist than Netanyahu if you need to frame it that way. He is similar to Ali Khamenei in the fervency of his beliefs. I don't have a good example of a Jewish politician as I'm weak on Israeli internal politics.

Hey everyone the Constitution is unconstitutional!

-MAGA Mike

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That tracks. They treat the Constitution the same way they treat the Bible. What is written there doesn’t matter. It’s not a thing that actually exists but a concept, and that concept “says” whatever they want it to say.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

I couldn't have said it any better.
