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.

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.

Here's just one example of democrats calling for Feinstein to resign. Where are the republicans calling for McConnell's resignation?

That’s not what anyone was objecting to. He’s frozen for a minute twice whereas she was unable to even be at the capitol for months and then was unaware of that fact when asked
She is MAGNITUDES worse than McConnell and it isn’t even close.
Having a several minute long seizure of some kind is, in my opinion, significantly worse than any behavior Feinstein exhibits. It was bad enough it happened once. If it's happened twice on camera we have to assume that it happens more off camera and that it's now a regular occurrence. Regardless, that part of my comment was intended to be subjective. But all you said was "Uhhh. That’s just not at all true." without specifying whether you were challenging one word of my comment or the entire thing, so I'm forced to interpret your statement as a challenge to my entire comment. Also, you misquoted me. I said "an order of magnitude" not "magnitudes".
You think freezing up is worse than an elected official not knowing where she’s been for months? Bro come the fuck on
Barely. But yes, because despite the confusion, her brain still displays at least some function, as opposed to fucking blue-screening like a just-unplugged Chuck-E-Cheese android.
if he were in a coma you might have a leg to stand on but the fact that he's seemingly functional 99.999% of the time vs her never being functional...
