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!

Another pointless bill that still has to be voted on in the Senate and if it passes there will be vetoed by Biden. The folks in the House need to watch Schoolhouse Rock...
The House and the GOP know exactly what they are doing. They passed a repeal of Obamacare something like 80 times in Obama's last few months in office and then didn't dare pass one while Trump was there.
This is political theater meant to rile up the base.
And 16 centrist Democrats voted with Republicans on the bill because, and I cannot stress this enough, centrists fucking love genocide.
Let’s be honest here, there’s a solid chance that Biden won’t veto.
It also wouldn’t have passed without some dem support; and it might pass the senate simply because they don’t want to be seen as “antisemitic” (also they don’t want to lose all that campaign funding.)
I'm not so sure on either count. Particularly not the senate.
No, I'm not sure that the senate won't pass it. And I'm not certain Biden will actually veto.
Ah. That was pretty ambiguous!
Nah, this is performative MAGA drama for their base.
And I have no faith that Senate Democrats won't just go along with it, considering how many of them voted against conditioning aid back in January.
