She got under his skin so fast and he never recovered, throwing in the, "you'll never win in politics" stuff.

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!

Ottawa is closer to me in Maine that washing dc. Can we just leave already.
✖️ canada the 51st state
✅ maine the 11th province
Somone, can't remember who, once complained about weaponization of government. If I can only remember, cause I think it's relevant somehow.
I know it goes without saying, but can you imagine if Biden or Obama literally went on national television and declared to a United States governor "I am the law!" like he's a dollar-store Judge Dredd?
maybe it would've made the trumpists like biden
OK, so what can we do to support Mills and Maine?
The best thing you can do is to push your state and governor do the same if there's any chance.
No taxation without representation
Why be part of the US if it doesn't represent your interests and if there's a dictator in power?
How Canadian are you feeling, Maine? Maybe it's time for a referendum.
A very large percentage are descendants of french canadians so I'd say very canadian
Please let me move there first
Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted?
one moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?

“Well—I’m—we are the federal law. You better do it because otherwise, you’re not going to get any federal funding at all if you don’t.”
This sentence. First, almost "I'm the federal law," followed by just a completely wonky sentence. What a technically human being
I would fucking love for the Feds to try this with any blue state that is a net contributor (which is like, basically all of them). And then set up a (federally illegal, but we don’t care about that anymore apparently) interstate commerce and trade pact between blue states for mutual aid and economic assistance, since the federal government is currently busy destroying the federal government.
I would have also added, "What federal funding? You're stealing it all to pay for the handouts to the rich that think you're a fool."
Party of small government, right? Party of states rights, right? Sounds to me they are the party of dictatorship, tyranny and oppression.
And 19 year olds who help run doge!
If we have free and fair elections in 2026 I'm looking forward to seeing these little shits dragged in front of Congress and grilled.
As stupid as I think they are, I also feel sorry for them; they don’t realize they’re being used as pawns and will be hung out to dry as soon as it suites Musk and Trump.
The reason they’re so young and inexperienced is that everyone else realized the implications and refused for their own well-being. The fact that none of the DOGE leadership wants to be officially “in-charge” is a giant red flag.
Can they be charged and imprisoned while they await trial?
Never happen they'll all be pardoned.
Not if literally anyone other than a Republican is elected.
Who's weaponizing agencies now, you projecting, pants-shitting little bitch?
AND it's the department you were going to kill? Jesus Christ who the fuck is writing this timeline‽
"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
This rewrote my brain, first time I heard it.
why is "bullying" in quotes.
he absolutely was bullying her.
Mills is so badass!
