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!

Oh well now that he's not in contest as a nominee I guess no media is stopping him from taking any office.

Roadblock cleared! Sephiroth him.

I mean okay, I mean Trump will just pick something worse. I'm more disappointed that Democrats didn't grow a spine and just release the house report on Gatez.

I'm guessing that while Trump picked him, the power('s) behind the throne quietly strongarmed him into withdrawing.

I forget who on the NPR politics podcast said that he would get pushed out in backroom conversations, and not on the floor of the house, she nailed it.

They don't want the public drama and infighting, because it makes them look even more incompetent. If they're going to push you out, they're going to do it behind closed doors.

So, which clown is next? RFK, the WWE lady, Doctor Oz?

I heard that on the radio yesterday. They said they expected two or possibly three to withdraw because Orange Dipshit will never admit that he was wrong in choosing them.

Cool, hope he dies.

Doesn't DeSantis get to make an appointment to fill Rubio's Senate seat for the remainder of his term?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh no i had the Gestapo on my bingo card

Don't you mean gazpacho?

He REALLY does not want that ethics probe released. Which means we absolutely should.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

My conspiracy theory is that he wasn't a serious contender for AG. He got the nom which allowed him to resign from Congress. This forced the ethics committee to stop investigating him because he was no longer a member.

While he was a contender for AG, the Senate pushed for the release of materials anyway. Gaetz withdrawals from consideration, making the report moot.

This has Bannon written all over it.

My brother in christ, he made the actions in the report

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

Well yeah but you don’t know what they know you did until you see the report.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Excited to see who the next nominee will be. My money is either Don Jr. or PDiddy.

So sexual assaulters aren't welcome in the Trump administration. When will Trump step down?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

Just the ones who don’t own it haha
