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!

Watching "progressives" downplay and excuse neonazi tats and allegations of domestic abuse has been WILD.
Like some actual Republican-tier "I like his politics, so he must be a saint!" thinking going on.
I've not seen that yet.
It's maybe more like the left is sick and tired of having this asymmetric requirement that it is that the Democrats that have to be as pure as the driven snow while the Republicans have no standards at all.
I mean, the idiots within the Democratic Party chased out Al Franken, for fuck's sake. Meanwhile, the Republicans rally around an absolute monster and total fraud like PEDOnald.
It's more like, "We've watched the media excuse a child-raping traitor and dozens of the most openly corrupt traitors in American history, so maybe we're gonna tap the brakes about the things a post-war marine may have thought or did fuckin years ago."
"I'm with the Republicans on character" isn't a W
60% victory margin. No one cares, bub
Go donate to the heritage foundation since you love their manufactured scandals so much
"No one cares, he won" is a direct quote from my Trumper father. Be better, please :(
Blue Maga baby!
No, THIS guy with a fishy past and big promises will drain the swamp for real! Character? What's that?
Blue maga are you corpo dems who spent the last 10 years telling us "vote blue no matter who" and "Joe Biden is the most effective president in history" (lmao) all while whining about purity tests (which you force on everyone else now) and going apeshit whenever someone criticizes corpo dems.
You are so incapable of critical thought you can't even tell this populism bullshit is exactly what Blue Maga is. The Senate is a garbage institution that only exists to check the power of the people.
But sure, pretend your guy is going to make a difference in the most corrupt institution we have. I will get your fell for it again sticker ready.
