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!

During the private conference call with House Republicans, Johnson’s own members criticized the speaker’s plan, according to the source on the line who was granted anonymity to share the private discussions.
That's a real Profile in Courage right there.
"We're doing the wrong thing, but I will go along with it because I'm afraid to speak out publicly. I mean, you've seen the crazies who vote for me, right? One of them might pop me...."
Speaking about courage, Ben Shapiro is now able to enlist thanks to the new cap on age limits. Just putting that out there.
Ben Shapiro has a medical condition called “Cringe AF” that prevents him from serving.
Republican pussies could literally remove his ass from the speakership and have Trump impeached and removed from office lickity split, but they would rather privately grumble anonymously until they retire.
Personally, I think the GOP is run entirely by a small cabal that dictates everything. If you go far enough in that org, someone has something on you to make you dance.
Pussy is not a insult. You scrotum.
I mean it is an insult, you can twist it like Betty White and not want it to be one but it is definitely an insult. Has been a very long time.
In the immortal words of Betty White.
"I don't know why 'pussy' is used to mean someone who is weak. I've got one, and that thing can take a pounding!"
Please, "bawbag" is the polite term.
Well, they make a lot of money through corruption. So they have to put their ethics on the back burner sometimes. You have to understand that - they’re just trying to line their pockets as much as possible. Where would we end up if limits were placed on greed? Unthinkable!
Welp, you fuckin' own that shit, assholes, unless you plan to do something about it. This is who you are.
At this point I don’t give a shit. Anyone that sticks an R next to their name is complicit.
Nurses hate this.
So basically the House GOP have all turned into Susan fucking Collins. We are absolutely in the dumbest, worst, most embarrassing timeline.
Oh no! Not concerns! What ever will poor little Mikey do about some concerns??
There is not a single person in this system with meritocratic validity, aka not born into wealth. The societal level nepotism of inherited wealth is the cause of all present problems. It is the common thread through every problem name you know. Intelligence is not hereditary in humans, but wealth is. This is the case in every western country except Japan.
Carcetti was actually a decent mayor though, if I recall. He at least had good intentions, even though the system was broken.

He wanted to do good things, but when he found out the school system was in a massive amount of debt and that the only way to keep the city running without doing extreme austerity would have been to take a bail out from the state that would've hurt his campaign for governor, he did the extreme austerity and let the city suffer instead of sacrifice his personal ambitions
