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!

Oh look, Moscow Mitch has figured it out!
He wasn't one of the dumb ones who had a revelation, he's one of the soulless ones who sold us out
Apologies, tone of voice didn't carry. I was being completely sarcastic on that, part of why I called him what I did. It's apparently one of the very few names that piss him off, yet he was an amazing tool for Moscow, arguably a better one than Trump. Trump is a five year old with a shotgun, no plan and running around screaming... and Trump wouldn't be able to pull off a damn thing if Mitchy hadn't literally shredded so much of the US for him.
There is so very little to have hope for and celebrate in the situation we're in, but I can take at least a huge helping of schadenfreude watching McConnell get EVERYTHING he wanted yet be off the throne and reviled by the people he propped up. Truly, my hope is that his freezes finally hits and is permanent while he's still conscious and is forced to live and watch longer trapped away before he burns in hell.
It takes a lot for me to hate someone, it takes a lot more for me to wish evil upon someone. I cannot think of a single person that I have this level of just absolute hatred for, many are more mask off evil, but Moscow Mitch will go down in history as the architect of the US's destruction.
