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!

For fucks sake, stop trying to make Liz Cheney sound rational.
She's just mad trump stopped her pulling a GW and doing the same fucked up shit her daddy did.
Liz Cheney would do all the horrible shit trump did, she'd just be better at hiding the reasons and thusly wouldn't be held accountable.
That's the morbidly hilarious part about Trump. He would probably have gotten away with everything, if he had simply learned the art of shutting the fuck up.
It's what I hate about people acting like trump is as worse as it can get it.
The guys a fucking idiot.
But every single republican (and unfortunately a non negligible amount of Dem) politicians want the same shit.
They just know which parts to whisper and which to shout.
When the day finally comes when trump is no longer the Republican nominee, the next one will likely be worse. Even if they don't want worse things, they'll be better at accomplishing the same goals trump had.
And the same people that fund trump will fund the next one too.
This ain't a short term problem, it's been going on for decades and will continue to do so if we keep fighting them the same way
That's like Trump's monkey paw wish. If he shut up, he wouldn't have won to begin with. It's his strongest and weakest trait politically.
