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!

Lol! Wow. So, you are going to make me copy and paste half the article here, instead of just reading it.

Ok...

Some Democrats have praised these recent remarks by Greene.

Representative Ro Khanna, a California Democrat, told Newsweek he is appreciative of Greene's recent comments.

"I appreciate what Marjorie Taylor Greene is saying about health, home and auto insurance being unaffordable for most Americans and for calling out efforts to prevent any state from passing legislation to protect workers or kids from AI. I look forward to working with anyone in Congress to do something bipartisan on bringing down costs or AI," he said.

Senator Ruben Gallego, an Arizona Democrat, told CNN on October 9 that her messaging is stronger than some Democrats.

“Well, she's not doing better than me, but she's definitely doing better than a lot of Democrats,” he said.

Senator Jeanne Shaheen, a New Hampshire Democrat, voiced agreement with Greene’s comments on the ACA credits in a post to X on October 9.

“Millions of moms just like @RepMTG are worried about how their families are going to afford health care if the ACA enhanced premium tax credits expire. We can take action now to extend these credits. Let's work together to get this done and prevent costs from soaring,” Shaheen wrote.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Monday on MSNBC’s Katy Tur Reports that he has not met with Greene, but said she has had a “surprisingly enlightened few weeks in terms of her perspective on both the Epstein files.”

Grant Davis Reeher, professor of political science at Syracuse University, told Newsweek that Democrats’ praise of Greene is representative of “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” logic.

“It seems more like straightforward political opportunism, and once again the issue of Trump, pro and con, is driving the bus,” he said. “Given all that MTG has said over the years, it seems very strange that any Democrat would align themselves with her, on anything. But these are strange political times.”

Stephen Farnsworth, professor of political science at the University of Mary Washington, told Newsweek that Greene recognizes that the Epstein scandal “is not going away,” while other Republicans would “prefer not to recognize” that.

I'm going to stop there, because if you didn't read that far down the 1st time, you probably aren't going to read this far down, this time either.

You can't expect them to read anything that doesn't agree with their worldview! Facts and reality is a lie by the media!
