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!

This motherfucker should be dragged from the Senate and sent back fucking Alabama. He isn't doing his job so he should be removed.

I vote we air drop him into Russia with a note saying "I want to fight for Russia. Please sign me up."

since... you know... he's helping putin out so much.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I like it lets do it.

[–] GiddyGap@lemm.ee 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Unfortunately, he and his constituents probably feel like he's doing his job. The US of A in 2023.

[–] zigmus64@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah… not all of his constituents…

Politicians don't even pay lip service to the idea that they represent everyone in their district anymore. If you aren't on their team then they openly tout the fact that you can't do a fucking thing about it.

Enough to get him elected. Beating Doug Jones by 20 points was no small feat.

[–] zigmus64@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The only reason Doug Jones was elected in the first place is because he was running against Roy Moore. Literally any other Republican candidate would have handily beaten Jones. Tubby just rode his name into congress.

I liked him better when he was just a coach.

He needs to be investigated. Dude’s messing with the MIC, that is the deep state.

[–] ashok36@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

His primary residence is in Florida. He's as Alabaman as I am.

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Why would anyone say they loved in Alabama if they didn't? Ew lol

[–] shasta@lemm.ee -4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He's saying he doesn't just like Tubberville.
