'fascists unite'... is that the gop platform this year?
Entire GOP shares one single testicle. They keep passing it to one another in the time when they need to act tough. In reality they are nothing but a bunch of cowards.
It's like orange cats sharing the one brain cell, but NOT CUTE.
Everyone, just block the ban-evading fascist sympathizer in this thread.
They very obviously aren't here to be persuaded away from fascism.

Lol, if you block that obvious troll there are two comments in this thread that remain
Because 1) it was posted an hour ago, 2) it's not at all unexpected. 3) the bots are doing their bot thing well, keeping political discussion (which might contain something useful to someone) nested in a thread hidden because of low ratio.
All discussion being confined to that thread means it won't be seen by people casually browsing (hoping to avoid toxicity, or who might not want to consider a viewpoint different from their own).
- is probably not news worthy to begin with.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise on Tuesday became the latest member of Republican leadership to endorse former President Donald Trump in his latest bid for the White House.
Scalise’s announcement comes less than two weeks before the Iowa caucuses kick off voting in the Republican presidential primary.
“I am proud to endorse Donald Trump for president in 2024, and I look forward to working with President Trump and a Republican House and Senate to fight for those families who are struggling under the weight of Biden’s failed policies,” Scalise posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The former president continues to lead the Republican presidential primary field by around 40 percentage points in nationwide polling, according to the latest update to the CNN Poll of Polls, ahead of his chief rivals Florida Gov.
Trump’s commanding lead comes as he is a defendant in multiple criminal trials and faces 91 charges against him across four separate cases.
He’s been juggling campaigning in early voting states with his legal obligations as a defendant.

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!
