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!

They have a concept of a government funding bill...

They have a concept of a concept to a funding bill.

I hope that haunts them until the complete end of the party. I hope that is a brief duration and that the phrase continues to haunt whatever wretched regressives slough off of the party's decaying corpse.

Vote. Not just in the presidential election, but in mid-term elections as well. If democrats don't take majority in House and Senate, republicans will continue to block progress.

How are so many of them just cartoon villains?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

And not even cool ones like Shredder or Mummra. They are all the stupid henchmen that get tricked into letting the heroes in the door with a “the boss said we could come in”

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 month ago

Poor little Johnson.

They have no cooperation in their own damn party and they want the public to believe they are capable of governing.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No they don't. They want the public to believe the entire system has failed, not just them, so they will support replacing it with a dictatorship.

Doing just what the Nazis did to the Weimar Republic.

Looking forward (/s) to the massive spin campaign about how the GOP shutting down the government because Trump is upset is somehow the fault of the Democrats.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

Republicans only know how to complain and be contrarian. Even with a majority they are not able to actually govern.

Tiny Johnson cucked, news at 11.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No kink shaming, unless that's your kink.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Yes, correct me again, daddy... Punish me!!!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

The GOP has been a clown show for so long. When are we going to vote them all out? Or at least vote out the extremists. Though it seems they've all went pretty nuts competing to lick Trump's boot.

Still think there's pretty bad secrets being held over the majority of the GOP leadership.

I know it's off topic, but Mike Johnson looks like he wears a little bit of makeup and old grandmother's glasses doesn't he?

He always looks like this, the rosy red cheeks and the same glasses always. Tell me I'm wrong.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

His cheeks are always red because he’s always thinking about porn and blushing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Which is probably why his phone is monitored by his kid(s) for such things.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I’m convinced he wears a corset underneath that suit.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

How's that new job buddy?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I'd say "based" but he'll just have everyone sign the same dang bill after the government's been shut down for a week.

This dude hasn't delivered on a single promise he made to get this position.

Can we please just skip this section of the news cycle? We know what's going to happen

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 month ago

Red or blue maga? I’ve lost too much give-a-fuck to care…
