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!

Those who dont learn from history are doomed to repeat it - and this crazy lady seems doomed to repeat it.

If there's a budget problem and you're spending more than your fair share, negotiate on the budget, don't throw your toys out of the cot and have a temper tantrum and try to leave the most stable military alliance on earth that's the only thing holding Russia and china in check.

(Not an American, not from a NATO country, and not a supporter of Biden in any way, just saying that NATO is a bloody good idea and I'm glad it exists since it seems like the only thing stopping Putin from starting WW3).

People like her don’t seem to understand that the bad guys are bad and have real consequences to their behavior.

[–] Nythos@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because she is Putin’s tool and does nothing but spread misinformation.

Of course she is. The ( R ) is what makes it obvious.

Not only does she not learn from history, she also doesn’t seem to learn anything, full stop.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

She doesn't want to learn anything. She already believes she has all the answers.
