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!

A self-styled "pro-white nationalist," Loomer, 31, is even too "racist" for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene

Next week: "I have no idea who this woman is!"

“…but I wish her luck.”

This whole dust up is between MTG, L. Graham, and Loomer is just jealous office politics. Apparently, Loomer is on the rise while the former two are in decline around Trump's orbit.

Now I won't deny it's fun to see the MTG and Graham beaten at their own game. But the only value to this story is knowing that there is chaos and backbiting in his inner circle.

And unlike Loomer, Graham and MTG at least got involved. Loomer is the one sleeping her way to the top.

declared that the White House would “smell like curry” if Vice President Kamala Harris were to win in November,

I can't be the only one who thinks that would be a welcome development. More Asian dishes in the White House would be fantastic. Why does the right hate Asian food? 🤔

I say this a white American, "What's wrong with curry‽"

I'll come out and say it: If you elect this white guy (me) as president I would make the White House smell like curry from time to time 🍛

Wait: Do they expect me to eat like some British dude during WW2‽ I mean, that's how the British are still eating (rose water? No thank you!) but still...

Maybe those on the right need a DEI food program.

Fun fact, every Curry on earth smells infinitely better than the aroma of Diaper Don balls deep in McDonald's Hamberder.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

There's a reason curry is Britain's favorite dish ... and it isn't because whites are a minority, like racists no doubt presume. It's because curry is fucking delicious, and British food is not.

I love a curry

They should install a tandoori oven in the white house and serve fresh naans to all who enter

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

"abandon all hunger, ye who enter here"

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

You've got a chef who will cook whatever you want. Any president who hasn't had curry is missing out.

Props for the perfect interrobang usage

Ew. it's like you can smell the daddy issues from here. That woman is in dire need of therapy.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 months ago

It's like Trump doesn't realize "therapist" is only one word.

[–] Soulg 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Or she's just trying to get into the will

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

lmao that dude is leaving nothing but debt and shame

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Steven Miller, Laura Loomer, and coming next week to join the inner circle... Resurrected Corpse of Hitler!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Why do you think Steve Banon looks like that?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

He never died. He's been living in Argentina this whole time!

Plot twist: everyone thinks Trump's October Surprise will be dumping his VP candidate, but it turns out to be trading in his First Lady candidate for a newer model.

Has trump ever gone for someone that wasn't a blonde?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Maybe it's something else about her that reminds him of Ivanka.

The intense plastic surgery?

The incredibly shitty plastic surgery?

"Melanie" isn't a blonde.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

I want to hear her take on every one of his inner circle, including his family.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

It is almost like Trump is a Racist.

not a bug but a feature
