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!

Wow, now THAT will solve most of our country's problems, right, y'all? Fucking piece of shit useless mother fucker. I hate his weasly voice.
He's the kinda guy that leaves his tube socks on and pulls his pecker out of his whitey tighties before fucking his wife with the lights off.
This imagery just burns right though my soul and it won’t go away.
It hurts me
Glad to be of service 😌 😂
Correction, he's the kind of lizard that eats a rat while the humans aren't looking.

I imagined this in a motel and the car lights in the parking lot are rolling by. I hate it
FTFY. Just wanted to complete the scene.
The majority of people who support and parrot shit like this aren't even doing it because they think it's somehow good for the country, they just think it's something that needs to be fixed because some ignorant piece of shit on FOX News or the like told them it was bad, and we should all be mad about it.
I can't imagine being so fucking bored and miserable with my life, that the sheer THOUGHT of someone else being happy and comfortable... or even just not sad and miserable in their own life, that I'd feel obligated to dedicate what precious time I have on this earth to ruining everything for everyone.
I agree with you - Ted Cruz is an absolute piece of shit, but the people who feel driven to support these types of policies and bills etc. are truly vile human beings.

Am loving the energy in this post! It's so tiring that this shit is what passes for politics around here. Like half' the fucking country seriously thinks kicking us is a worthy focus for the whole damn government? Really? REALLY? Let's just stop and have a vote on how much we all hate those people for existing! That'll make something better, won't it? ... Now here I am getting worked up too. Bleh. Of course those people have no concept of "better," only hurting people they hate.
"I hate his voice" tacked onto the end there is kinda hilarious though 🤣
Also the initialism for the act's name is SHSA which reminds me that "SHSR" is the IBM->HAL thing (letter-position-decrement?) for "TITS." So I guess this bill is about TITB? ... Nevermind, I'll show myself out :P
Him eating his booger on the debate stage still makes me gag uncontrollably if I see the clip, and if it pops into my head sometimes I'll start gagging, which is pretty much every time I see his name
There are very few things that make me gag in disgust, this one gets me every time
@diannetea@lemmy.world you probably don't need to be warned not to click this link, but for anyone else's morbid curiosity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CgcGQYWns4
Fucking nasty ass mother fucker.
Just the memory that you just summoned made me audibly gag when I read your comment. So thanks?
Ted Cruz is so gross.
Oh, just his weasley voice? Not his weasley everything else?
He gets on my fucking nerves when he talks.
How about when you look at him? Or anything or everything else he does?
Cruz is in the business of exacerbating problems, not solving them.
How do you feel about his punchable yokel face?
Violence is not the answer! But it does make me feel a lot better.
I want to smash a shit pie on his face.
Some people prefer solving non-existing problems.... Like Putin, who thinks that the world's largest country is too small 🤏.
