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!

How is republican media spinning this? It seems so obviously stupid even those guys who think trump looks like elvis have to be scratching their head
Carlson is busy in Russia interviewing a despot, so the marching order talking-points haven't fully come in.
I've seen some half-assed arguments from conservatives here and there, but they've really got nothing. They mostly just lie, as usual.
EDIT: I'm back to apologize, hadn't seen the latest. But I'm leaving the comment.
C'mon, don't spread the speculative shit conservatives so. Tucker was seen in the Bolshoi Theater. That's it. It's one of the most famous theaters in the world and the man is filthy rich. That's not weird. Any other take is pure speculation. (But we could have fun with that without stating it as fact.)
It's appalling that conservatives would have anything to do with Russia, but that's where we're at. The GOP is bought and paid for by our arch enemy, and no one cares.
They're trying to spin some nonsense about how we don't actually need any new law for the border (even though they were screaming we did for years, but forget about that) and Biden just needs to enforce current laws and "shut it down." What current laws are not being enforced? They cannot say. What they mean by "shut it down," they don't know.
Shut it down means we do something like the red light//green light game in squidt Gamesz along the border, and nothing that moves gets in.
Word in conservative circles is that it’s Hillary Clinton’s fault.
National Review writer I read was saying that the fact it allows 5000 a day is ridiculous so it doesn't actually matter what the concessions are.
That's such a low number.
And it doesn't even "allow" 5,000 a day. That's just the number that when breached they start turning everyone away no matter what, asylum case or no. All the people saying it allows 5,000 undocumented immigrants a day are making up nonsense.
Sorrry I know you probably know, more for anyone reading this.
Probably something like: "Democrats added an amendment that would require all Texan children to only use unisex communal cat litterboxes!!1!"
Or something equality ridiculous and stupid.
