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.
- 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.
- 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!

I wonder if Johnson is honest with himself about being a vile, corrupt piece of shit. Or if he kids himself that he's righteous and doing good things in Congress.
When all this is over for maga, he'll still carry the Trump-sized hand impression up his puppet ass for the rest of his days. History will paint all of them exactly as they are.
In "Inglorious Basterds" Christopher Waltz plays Col. Hans Landa a villain for the record books. When asked about it, Christopher Waltz says he achieved this by not playing Landa as the evil character he is written as, "because no one believes themselves to be evil."
In some weird twisted way I believe these Maga believe themselves to be saving the soul of America. These fanatics are so far removed from reality they're literally delusion in their believes they're doing the right thing.
But how would stock trading relate to "saving the soul of America"? A lot of their disgusting actions like gerrymandering or bending to knee to Trump could be painted as a means to stay in power and thus allowing them to be able to continue "saving" America. But personal stock trading?...
Pretty convinced at this point that all these dickweeds are in some kinda shared psychosis, where in their world of entitlement they get to have it all and being all righteous about it because it's their God-given right goddamn it. Money, power, control over other humans because they never learned how to control themselves.
Buncha king wannabes.
Fuckers be living in fantasy land.
