For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.

Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only

▪️ Title must match the article headline

▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)

▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.

Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication-No Fox News or equal), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.

Rule 4: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.

Rule 5: Be excellent to each other. Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, will be removed.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

Rule 7. No conjecture type posts (this could, might, may, etc.). Only factual. If the headline is wrong, clarify within the body.

Video: Macklemore's new song critical of Trump and Musk is facing heavy censorship across major platforms.

As Trump described his electoral victory in November, to the cheers of House Republicans, Green stood up and shook his cane at the president, yelling, "no mandate."

House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, asked Green to sit down, and when he did not, ordered the House Sergeant at Arms to remove him.

As he was led out of the House chamber, Green, an 11-term congressman who represents southwest Houston, continued to shout at the president.

Democrats around him stayed seated, holdings signs that read "false" and "stop Musk" — in reference to Texas billionaire Elon Musk's mass firings of federal employees.

Yet Greene and Boebert were never once escorted out?

It's unfortunate that they have the same last name, MTG and Al. No, they weren't. There is a good reason for that though, they want to be martyrs. Would you have heard about this if I hadn't posted it? Boebert and MTG have an empire of media to make sure their martyrdom would be known.

I expected this, mildly surprised they were not all walked out and imprisoned. Maybe next year.
