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!

He also threatened his own caucus against supporting the Hawley Bill to take money out of government. Super super corrupt that McConnell would do all this. Same week no less.

he was like oh shit im getting a lot of good press by standing strong on ukraine against my party better do something about it

[–] Socsa 9 points 1 year ago

He's not standing strong though. He's demanding legislative validation of far right conspiracy bullshit in exchange for Ukraine aid.

I love that occasional thread where you just scroll through upvoting almost every comment.

Criminals and their coconspirators don't want to be investigated? Shocking!

God damn, can you even imagine what Congress would look like if senior officials were getting pestered with subpoenas by gloryhound committee chairs straight into a big election cycle?

That senile walrus is at it again. 🤬

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Haha, I called it yesterday. "No Legislative Purpose" is Republicans' new "Get Out of Subpoenas, Free!" Card.
