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!

Just a reminder: Gym Jordan did NOT vote for the continuing resolution that is the sole reason the US has a semi-functioning government today.
McCarthy did; that racist snake Scalise did. But Gym Jordan did not.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/interactive/2023/house-vote-government-shutdown/
Meaning that when the month or so left on the clock on the current CR runs out in November, this asshole will do everything he can to ensure that no budget is approved and the clock runs out again, turning it all into yet another rancorous, needless, long term government shutdown.
It would be best for all concerned if Gym Jordan were NOT elected Speaker of the House, not to mention third in line for the presidency: Putin would have novichok on doorhandles in DC so fucking fast the world's head would collectively spin.
But what's really ironic about the whole thing that if just a handful of Rs came to their senses and Hakeem Jeffries were elected Speaker, Jeffries would do all he could to bring ALL reasonable legislation to the floor, regardless of the originating party. Gym Jordan will just shut it all down -- unless it benefits Putin or a big donor, of course.
