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.

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!

Ohio keeps electing Gym Jordan. Are they trash because they live in Ohio or is Ohio trash because they live in Ohio?
Ohio is as Ohio does, Jennay.
Skibidi Ohio 🤮
After everything that has happened, I find it unreal that the orange actually has a 50-50 chance of getting reelected. There's something seriously wrong with this country.
Thanks again, Reagan
I mean, the country voted him in.
The country was wrong
Reagan or trump? Cuz trump never got the popular vote.
Mental disease makes people unable to process emotions. They often lash out in anger.
Yeah, in prison
Yeah, it’s unconscionable that he was elected after what he did at Ohio State.
What's scarier is that trump might 36-up him in November.
I recommend he fuck off and die.
Gym Jordan is also most likely a racist. Anger and racism are basically married. Especially when it comes to black people prosecuting rich WASP whites.
Most likely?
not entirely true, I'm not racist but I'm always angry.
After dealing with "anger issues" for most of my life and then the "anger" transforming into crying fits after starting my transition, I have concluded that it was never anger.
It's panic.
In people socialized as men it is unacceptable to panic, so we get angry instead to displace the panic into a more socially acceptable masculine expression.
But instead of treating the panic attacks, men are just expected to control their anger. Even though the anger is, itself, a way to cope with panic and so it can't be controlled without addressing the underlying cause.
Anger management, therefore, is treating symptoms and not the cause. Instead he probably needs anxiety meds.
But I am not a psychologist/psychiatrist.
I am extremely anxious by default unless I am able to fully control my environment (remove stressors) and converting anxiety to anger is the only way to turn that energy into action, unless an intermediary is present that understands my context. Anger isn't a pure negative, and it can be useful at times.
On the other hand, it's hard to steer it and let go of it once you get locked in. Additionally, many stressors can't be fixed by direct action and that will just stress out everyone else who has to be around you without reducing the original problems.
Anger management, therefore, is treating symptoms and not the cause. Instead he probably needs anxiety meds.
This is a broad, over-general statement. Not everyone experiencing anger control issues is suffering from the same experiences that you did. I'm happy that you were able to come to terms with your own problems, but dismissing anger management classes as "treating symptoms and not the cause" is not fair. Some people do benefit from them even if you didn't.
I just strongly suspect that anger management issues are a common misdiagnosis of anxiety and panic, not just based on experience, but based on the way gender norms obscure and distort men's feelings. It doesn't help that men also tend to avoid getting help, due to those same gender norms.
I don’t disagree and I’ve seen it many times, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if it’s something else. He seems indignant at people challenging him
Jordan is a spineless traitor.
as hypocritical as a skunk who tells a possum that his breath stinks
The rare southern insult you can repeat in polite company
"I am just a country lawyer, unaware of the ways of Washington, D.C., but I must comment on your statements regarding obedience to subpoenas lawfully issued by committees of Congress," Barnes added, while highlighting what he claimed was Jordan's hypocrisy.
"I notice that you were issued with a subpoena of the committee of Congress, which investigated the January 6 insurrection against the government of the United States of America. You failed to appear before that committee. I therefore find your protestations regarding a normal citizen obeying subpoenaed to be somewhat hollow," Barnes wrote.
lmao got 'em. Seriously, though, how in the hell did Jim Jordan never end up in jail for pulling that crap. I'm getting really sick of the rules never applying to Republicans.
Oh man I love the "I'm just a country lawyer..." bit... Made me think that it was literally a quote from Futurama at first lol.
Then made me think of Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer,
Ladies and Gentleman of the jury, I'm just a Caveman. I fell in some ice and later got thawed out by your scientists. Your world frightens and confuses me.
This was immediately where my mind took me... Hilarious!!
