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

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!

So all the other stuff was fine and that was the last straw?
He's a Mormon. Sex is what matters to them.
Ironically, I’ve had lots of gay sex with Mormons.
As long as you were only soaking and someone else jump-humped it doesn’t count. That’s the 2nd of God’s loopholes.
He kept his special underwear on to protect him from the gay waves. Just remember to spit.
Mormons of all sexualities have a lot of sex, especially when they're teenagers. They just repress all of that later and feel super guilty about it.
Teenagers are going to hump each others' brains out. No religion will ever change that.
Yep. It's crazy to think that a person at the time in someone's life when every single hormone in their body is saying, "FUCK SOMEONE! RIGHT NOW!" is usually going to be able to ignore that.
Did you keep the magic underwear?
No… but I will say, as hideously unsexy as they are supposed to be, there was something really kinky about it. Sinning is my favorite flavor.
So January 6 should have been sexier? /s
Edit: I thought this was a fun, snarky comment but after seeing some of the replies, I regret making it 😆
MTG is the insurrectionist who penetrated deep into the government
I suppose he acquitted Trump because the events of Jan 6th weren't gay enough. Shirtless shaman guy got Sen. Romney slightly aroused but it didn't quite meet the bar for his tastes. /s
[Note update: He voted to acquit trump on only 1 of 3 charges]
If memory serves, Romney voted to convict on both impeachments.
You know, you said that and I couldn't remember, so I looked it up.
In the first impeachment trial, there were two charges. Fifty-two Republican senators voted against the charge of abuse of power, and all fifty-three voted against the charge of obstruction of Congress. Romney only voted to convict on the abuse of power charge, not the obstruction charge.
In the second trial, there was only one charge, incitement of insurrection, and Romney was one of the seven Republican senators who voted to convict.
So you're correct in a 2/3 majority way, kinda like we should have had in the impeachment trials if our legislators were as interested in democracy as we are, lol.
Alright I concede that 2/3 is a passing grade, Romney.
He did, both times.
I think you mean, the lack of sex is what matters to them. 🤣
I don't know, their five wives and 33 kids might suggest otherwise.
Baby steps man, baby steps. The fact that one of the has a line is a start.
Romney clearly didnt vote for Trump in 2020 either, he wanted to impeach him last I remember.
Romney is a never Trumper, this wasn’t the last straw. He is one of the few Republicans in office who has been calling Trump out on all his shady past and present ever since he started campaigning for the 2016 election.
