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!

As I understand it, the GOP have released ethic inquiry reports on Democrats who had already left the house on at least two recent occasions.

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 24 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Yes.. all the ethics reports and claims including the one I filed, all your sexual harassment and assault claims that were secretly settled paying off victims with tax payer money, the entire Jeffrey Epstein files, tapes, recordings, witness interviews but not just those, there’s more, Epstein wasn’t/isn’t the only asset. If we’re going to dance, let’s all dance in the sunlight,” she wrote.

Marjorie Taylor Greene found hanged in apparent suicide…

Lol...yah someone please call her bluff. Epstein seems to have a lot to say about Mr. President-elect

So she's trying to pull a Madison Cawthorn 2.0. She might wanna consider how well that worked out for him.

With that being said, does this really make sense?

She's either lying through her teeth, or Madison Cawthorn was right all along. I'd say the odds here are about 50/50.

But let's say she's right (I know, I know, bear with me....)......doesn't that just mean that she knows that the GOP are full of the same "groomers" that she has been crusading against for years? And that she's OK with it, so long as she can use it for political capital? I mean, I get it......pride in the hypocrisy and all that. But how in the name of Jesus' favorite camel does this make her look good? At all? At best, it means she's complicit in allowing what would literally be the most powerful pedo ring on the fucking planet to continue to exist, and is perfectly fine with keeping that information from the public as long as it's in her political best interest or she can use it to advance her own political career.

And that is her in the best possible light. It only gets worse from there. I just don't see how this is anywhere close to being beneficial for her unless she's got the goods. And if she's got the goods, I have about a hundred million more questions.

She's also insane, so that's not working in her favor.

[–] Bookmeat@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

They've all got compromat. So they all shut up.

We're gonna get mafia behavior for a while now

Is the warning about inadvertently seeing something you don't want to see while looking into Matt Gaetz's past?
