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.
- 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.
- 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!

"And I'm the one to deliver it!"
Why is it that everyone who thinks their god wants to punish someone takes it upon themselves to do the punishing? Is god so fucking weak that he wants to punish us, but can't do it himself? If god wants to punish us, let him do it and Mike Johnson can stay the fuck out of it.
The grand irony is how literal a violation of the third commandment this is. This shit right here is what taking the Lord's name in vain really means.
Also why doesn't god cure diseases instead of punishing people because they just happen to be attracted to other people who have the same private parts.
idiots like Johnson would just say that god put them on earth to be their mortal instrument. Or some other deranged bullshit.
Kick Mike Johnson in his micro-johnson and tell him God told you to do it.
He sure is a mortal instrument, a big flaccid mortal instrument.
Narcissism. The US is basically a factory for them. American exceptionalism and all.
The thing about American Christian’s is that they’re all different denominations/sects so even if they’re getting along now, they won’t for long. Furthermore Christians are not devout in any way. It’s mind boggling. They might go to Church but don’t follow any of the Bible teachings. In fact the people in church are usually much worse on average when it comes to morality
Can you imagine being God and actually giving a fuck?
It's absurd. It like a human giving a shit about the sexual habits of ants in their backyard and trying to regulate it.
That Gods always seem obsessed with the same things their followers are is evidence that they are creations of their imaginations.
To be fair, I prefer to imagine that we are all tools and subjects of a higher power
