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!

Not to mention our living room furniture
Aren't you busy running the country?
Some of the nicest people I’ve ever met honestly and usually very intelligent.
Just the cats. The lady kinda gets a free pass.
Well not really free.
There is a cat tax.
Yeah I demand all childless women on the internet show us their pussycats.
Wait, I’m a childless and catless woman on the internet

Us Catmen feel left out in the cold
CNN’s Bakari Sellers responded by saying, “I think that J.D. Vance is kind of the Sarah Palin of Dan Quayles.”
Hmm, that’s going to cause someone to need some aloe
To help others.
On Quayle:
Press coverage of the convention was dominated by questions about "the three Quayle problems".[23] The questions involved his military service, a golf holiday in Florida where he and several other politicians shared a house with lobbyist Paula Parkinson,[24][12] and whether he had enough experience to be vice president. Quayle seemed at times rattled and at other times uncertain or evasive as he responded to questions. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Quayle
And then:
John McCain probably lost whatever chance he had to become president on August 28, the day he invited Sarah Palin to be his running mate. https://origins.osu.edu/history-news/why-sarah-palin-gamble-didn-t-pay
Thus, the burn.
Edit: JD Vance probably had to look this up, too.
Holy shitballs, that scalding is gonna require debridement and skin grafts.

JD's mom was masterbating on her favorite couch, not realizing that JD's dad had recently done the same.. and thus she become pregnant with JD despite the sexless loveless marriage. Nobody told JD about it, but he was always drawn to the place of origin like a salmon.
Ah that explains a lot. He can’t help doing what he does to them then

Hi!👋 me again, don’t forget to:
Print photos of different couches or dolphins and mail them to any or all of these locations:
https://www.vance.senate.gov/office-locations/
Don’t forget to add little love notes. e.g., “Thinking of you 💋”
And, remember kids, drink your Ovaltine!
Dude I’ll keep it a stack with you. When I first saw you I thought you were an amusing bot. However seeing your message evolve over time, and the consistency with which you keep it up, I’m only left with a profound respect for the sheer effort involved if nothing else.

"Of my lifetime..." Spot the person born after 1988.
Dan Quale misspelled potato(e) JDVance wants to end democracy...
Dan Quayle helped save democracy!
Seriously, Pence called him looking for guidance on the electoral college certification, and it was Quayle who convinced him that he had no choice but to certify the election. He's earned the right to spell potato however he wants.

‘Worst Vice Presidential Pick of My Lifetime’
Oh Sarah (Palin), we hardly knew ye...
Quick, someone make a website on par with https://brettkavanaugh.beer
Which is sadly a 404 right now :(
But that link from the internet archives is only from a couple months ago. Hopefully it's not a permanent 404.

CNN’s Bakari Sellers responded by saying, “I think that J.D. Vance is kind of the Sarah Palin of Dan Quayles.”
This is the quote of the day!
Really? Where does Palin fall on the “worst” list?
I still think Obama would have probably won. I didn't think that poorly of McCain though. Not my politics, but he seemed like a good person.
Once he picked Palin though...
No one was going to help McCain, he was a long shot candidate after 8 years of a Republican president that left the country exhausted and fed up, Obama was an answer, McCain was an offer to get more of the same with a little tweak here and there.
