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!

Those are rookie numbers, how many years did they waste on repealing the ACA and “investigating” Benghazi?
Here's the funny thing about Republicans repealing the ACA.
The Republicans controlled the house and Senate during Obama's last two years in office. They passed bills fully repealing Obamacare to Obama who, of course, vetoed it.
This happened something like 80 some odd times. All so that they can stomp their feet and say that they were doing their part.
Then Commander Cheeto takes office and, again, with a Republican controlled Congress.
Guess how many bills were sent to repeat Obamacare.
Nada.
Goose eggs.
They all knew how much their constituents loved the benefits of Obamacare but lacked the actual balls to repeal it when they had the chance.
All the Republicans knew that the orange turd would have signed the bill because Trump was just that fucking stupid he couldn't see the long game. So they never sent him a bill to repeal.
It was all posturing.
I still remember how these assholes had beers in the Rose Garden to celebrate....{checks notes}...taking away healthcare from MILLIONS of Americans.
Because the ACA WAS their plan. When the Democrats passed the bill, the republicans were snickering to each other. "Oh no, don't throw me into the briar patch!"
I still want someone to point out to Trump that Hillary Clinton testified for 11 hours and insinuate that this proves that she's tougher. I was hoping for an 11 hour Trump testimony to the 1/6 Commission, but I'll settle for 11 hours of Trump testimony at his various trials.
Didn't they spend most of the 90s "investigating" the Clintons? To only end up with a stain on a dress?
Yeah, these guys are pikers in Republican fail.
BUTTERY MALES
