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!

This fucker right here with that appearance, that demeanor, that expression, that posture...

Exemplifies exactly why none of this "obstruction" stuff will take place on his watch.

This washed-up, past-it, career politician needs to be out of fucking politics just as fast as can be made to happen. 🤡 🖕 💩 💩

Obviously I think Schumer is a piece of shit, but what are you talking about?

[–] lupusblackfur@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fucking look at him...

The hang-dog posture and expression... Obviously no fucking fight in him. Was I not clear??

What does that have to do with anything? Are you one of these "alpha" guys?

Edit: To make this more clear: judging people based on their looks is absurd, especially when you use parameters the people can not even influence!

He's kinda slouching I guess, and he's looking off to the side. Maybe he really has to poop and is eyeing the path to the toilet. We need someone who will stand firm and shit their pants. Someone with gumption and a whole lot of PF Changs in their belly.

You're funny.... Bye.

"Sorry, the best we can do is tell everybody how terrible it is until 30 seconds before the vote and then vote for it anyway. That cool?"

-- Chuck Schumer.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

Fuck Chuck.

He's like one of those "protest police" that just shot a guy for legally carrying a rifle, and in the process murdered a bystander.

In their heads they're are heroes and the only ones smart enough to decide how every one else should act. In reality we'd all be better off if they just stay at home and watched CNN.

We're the minority party in a country ran by fascists...

We can't afford to have someone as cowardly as him leading the Senate.

But if they OBSTRUCT this Bill then they might ANGER the Republican Voters who ALSO Hate this Bill!

I appreciate how the headline puts "progressive" and "democrat" in different groups.
