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!

This guy is a one-trick pony.
Have to oath in a Democrat who will trigger a vote his master doesn't like? Send everyone home!
Files that incriminates his master are being released? Send everyone home!
This tactic is getting old already.
I see it as them showing their hand. They know they cant take the heat, so they run. Pussies.
Hey now, pussies can take a pounding and keep on coming.
They also have depth and warmth that most if not all republicans lack.
🧑🍳 🤌
When does the coming happen? Asking for a friend. A highly unsatisfied friend.
Edit: i just noticed how this joke might be taken. Before the unsolicited offers and pictures come rolling in, thought I should make clear that A) this was entirely a joke, a complete fabrication, and B) that I'm a dude. Please don't send me pictures of your unimpressive dicks. I'll post them online.
What about impressive ones? /s

Fair, but they dont knwo that, lol. They're obsessed with shining light on their balls and brain worms, or something.
Republicans complain that government is ineffective and corrupt, then they get elected and prove it.
Members of your own party trying to force a vote to extend Obamacare subsidies? Send 'em home!
The files probably incriminate him too.
He admitted he needs his teenage son to monitor his porn habits. Imagine what he doesn't admit to.
You forgot about his other trick: I haven't heard about that or I haven't had time to read that.
That's not his trick. That's a GOP trick.
What does Mike Johnson know how to do besides not doing things?
Well the GOP loves to say that government doesn't work, and surprise surprise when they're in charge it's the one thing they're right about.
It's more than that even, they're usually the reason why the government doesn't work.
Social security would work great if funded properly, so what do they do? Screw with the funding. The ACA would work if properly funded, so what do they do? Let the subsidies expire. Medicare for all would work if properly funded. The education system would work if properly funded. The VA works when properly funded. And so on, and so on, and so on. In most cases, all it takes is the money and resources that they'd rather steal or give to their donors and like magic, we'd have a functioning government again.
They constantly sabotage programs that benefit tax payers while spinning the lie that government run programs can't and don't work. And after decades of dealing with underfunded programs run with minimal staffing and a maximum of red tape, of course people believe them.
