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!

Reports citing emergency dispatch audio said responders were called to McConnell's residence on June 14 for an unconscious patient and later discussed "CPR in progress" for a possible cardiac emergency.

Oh! So, we've escalated from him being found unconscious and rushed to the hospital to active CPR? Wouldn't it have been something if the Republican stance of allowing doctors to decline giving medical care on moral grounds ended up being applied against the interests of the long-term cancer that is McConnell?

Maybe Mitch and Trump will have one of those dual deaths where they're only holding out for each other.

Mitch is trump's final horcrux

Thatd be so cool if they went on the 4th like jefferson and adams

If Trump died on the 4th I would be sooooo happy.

[–] dirthawker0@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He says he's going to make a long speech on the night of the 4th when it's going to be 107 degrees to prove he can. Yes, please, and of course you must wear a suit jacket and tie because you're the President. Bitch will probably step outside for 3 minutes and chicken out though.

They could set up a green room mimicking the 4th celebration as a background. It's not like anyone is there to dispute it.

Just fucking exploded into confetti during the finale of whatever fireworks are going on to the 1812 Overture...

Eh, I'd rather he pass while a Democrat's in the White House, if there ever are elections again...

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

At least wait until there are enough Dems in the senate to block any court nominations.

"Sorry, we can't allow any new justices to be confirmed so close to an election. I'm sure you understand."

Pretty sure Chuck would let them through. So long as they were sufficiently zionist.

Elon wrapping a vehicle around a telephone pole?

Must be the threesome he was talking about

A truly heartwarming love story in these trying times.
