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!

Mitch McConnell didn’t just enable Trump—he architected the road to American fascism.

Burn in hell, Mitch.

Mitch McConnell's only possible path out of hell is to strap 20 pounds of C4 to himself and going to shake hands with Donny.

Thus his nickname Moscow mitch

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

Trying to imagine a world where Mcturtle would have whipped the vote to indict that piece of shit donvict and throw him in prison where he fucking belongs.

Justice would have been done. Would that have torched Mcturtle's career and possibly put him in the line of fire for all the murderous magabrained dumbasses out there wanting to get revenge for their god-emperor being dealt with properly?

Yes. But still. He should have done everything possible to get donvict behind bars.

More likely: Russia loses, America loses, everyone loses

Except Canada. I'm betting they come out ahead cause they've been nice to everyone.

If only you had fucking done something about it instead of going on a power trip. This is literally your fault.

[–] CosmicJoker@lemm.ee 8 points 3 days ago

Like if he's not at fault.

Fuck off shit head.

[–] ExistentialKiwi@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

Fuck you, Bitch McConnell. The Russians already have a stooge in the White House and you're to blame for this whole fucking mess existing in the first place. Go rot in hell with Reagan you fucking asshole.

"Mumble mumble mumble, turtle turtle, empty political statement...om-nom, good samwidge..."

NO, motherfucker, this is not a game anymore! Get the fuck out of the way, because we need some people DOING things around here! Trump isn't killing the United States, it's the lack of opposition. These old-money-party Democrats are fiddling around while Rome burns.

McConnell is a retiring Republican senator, but I get your point.

[–] st3ph3n@midwest.social 7 points 5 days ago

YOU ENABLED THIS, ASSHOLE.

[–] crystalmerchant@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

Fuck off fuckface

[–] Sputnik34@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Let's hope they both lose.

Fuck the US and fuck Russia

[–] Hayduke@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

Thanks Glitch. I’ll consider your moment of clarity while I piss on your grave.

To those not keeping score, this man may have single-handedly caused more damage to our institution than anyone else, alive or dead. It’s more than coincidence that his actions are in perfect alignment with the kremlin. We are now in a tail-spin of destabilization that greatly benefits putin. Funny how that all worked out, neh?

[–] Punchshark@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 days ago

I hope people shit on his grave when he kicks the bucket finally!

[–] lack@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

It's clear to me now that Polio actually contracted Mitch McConnell

[–] Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Thanks for warning us of PROBLEMS YOU CAUSED..

[–] LandedGentry@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 days ago

Your fault.

Oh look, Moscow Mitch has figured it out!

Likewise, I HATE this piece of shit mother fucker.

But, let's hope for our sakes some of the idiots listen to him.

[–] don@lemm.ee 4 points 5 days ago

GET FUCKED UP THE ASS WITH RUSTY BARBED WIRE YOU TRAITOROUS FUCKING CUNT

[–] Tillman@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Wasn’t his nickname Moscow Mitch?

[–] TomMasz@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Hell is too good for him, is there a Super Hell?

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Fuck that turtle. He made it happen.

[–] nthavoc@lemmy.today 3 points 4 days ago

So says the key ingredient to this shit sandwich served up to the American people.

[–] shittydwarf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 days ago

That's the current headline and it's courtesy of Mitch

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Oh look Mitch, it's the consequences of your own actions.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 3 points 3 days ago

I'd welcome him to the right side of history since he now understands the situation, but he has realized too late that this was all his fault. Less whining, more taking responsibility for this.
