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!

If I were writing the script, I would have the Democrats win that 50/50 split in the Senate, then have the President eat his final cheeseburger. Then, Schumer will invoke the "McConnell" doctrine to sit on the VP appointment and not bring it to a vote at all. We lived without a SC Justice for nearly a year, and they are much more important than the VP.
Unfortunately, you know Schumer will fold, just like he did with the shutdown this fall, just like he does every time. We need to get rid of Schumer, get someone in there who's not afraid of punching back.
What do u mean by “sit on VP appointment”?
If God issues His Ultimate Recall vote on Trump, Vance immediately becomes President, and the office of the VP becomes vacant.
To fill it, President Vance would need to nominate someone, who would have to be approved by both the House and Senate.
But McConnell started a precedent that says that Congress can keep the position vacant by simply refusing to hold the vote.
Recall on Trump? In what scenario would this happen?
The McConnell rule isn’t a rule or a precedent, but I agree using their game to screw them back.
McConnell would just use whatever rule or precedent he set then change it to work in his favor any time it became an issue. That’s not how rules or precedents work and also it was all manufactured to meet their needs and screw anyone else into capturing power. The day Mitch kicks it will be a day for fireworks and celebrations.
It would be great if politics were used to make people’s lives better in these failed United States, instead of enriching their pocketbooks while we look for scraps amongst the rapid dogs of high society.
They're saying that Trump is extremely likely to die of old age, at which point those scenarios are literally on the table.
God has the final word on Donald Trump. Someday, when he eats his last cheeseburger.
I guess if you believe in that.
I believe that the cheeseburger will deliver us to paradise. Amen.
