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!

At another point, Collins, said: "I have a suggestion. Would you listen to the suggestion?"
"Vote Graham Platner!" one of the protesters offered, referring to a Democrat running for Collins' seat.
Lol
Are there any public places they can go without being heckled? And can we get some raging assholes to those places please?
Their members only country clubs, which would immediately call the police to brutally put down any form of protest I'm sure
Would be a shame if those places got anonymous bomb threats.
Why threaten? Fire cares not for wealth all it cares to do is consume. Also don't commit arson and if you do don't get caught.
Has he learned his lesson, Susan? Has he?
Message loud and clear.
Yeah. Unfortunately he did. He learned that he can get away with absolutely anything.
Don’t let any of these fucks ever have a moment of peace in public. Until they right the evil they’ve put in the world, they should dread opening the door each morning and answering the phone.
Did she have some concerns about the heckling?
Did she get a furrowed brow, even?
But Trump learned his lesson!!!
Oh no! He definitely did! He learned that whatever obvious dumbass/wing/deleterious decision will be backed up by anyone with an R in front of their names. I've gotten to the point when anyone mentions trump in a positive light, I immediately(and loudly) proclaim the person talking to me is a pædo or supporter.
I don't recommend anyone else take this route as it cost me a handful of "friends" and a couple offers to fight, until they see me stand up.
There is no Republican Party anymore. The right no longer follows any of the tenets of the party - smaller govt, lower taxes, economic responsibility, family values, etc. The Republican Party is as dead as the Whigs, and should only be referred to in a scholarly, historical context.
It's the MAGA Party now, and their core values are Treason, Corruption, Racism, Genocide, Incompetence, Misogyny, PEDOPHILIA, and much more. EVERY proud MAGA embraces all of these "values."
Personally, I like to start with accusations of Treason, then move to Pedophilia. The 'discussion"doesn't usually last much beyond that.
Guy. That has always been the belief of conservatives. Don't just make it a Republican party thing. I say that because the southern strategy showed that.
"conservative values" really has been the smokescreen all the worst politicians hide behind. It works great because not only do fellow assholes and bigots vote for them, it gets the stupidest fraction of the electorate, people who are actual social and fiscal conservatives, to vote for them too.
Yeah. This shit sucks.
Um… good.
When approached for comment Mrs. Collins is reportedly "very concerned"
Oh noes! So anyway...
If only those boos actually resulted in votes against get.
