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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

Who am I gonna follow to make money on the stock market?!?!

[–] Manjushri@piefed.social 16 points 10 months ago

Almost anyone else in Congress, really.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago (1 children)

For me, she lost all credibility when she refused to impeach Bush for war crimes. Seriously, Abu Ghraib? The torture memos? Nothing?

If we had gone hard on Bush, Trump never would have run.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Roll it back. If we'd been hard on the Confederates we wouldn't have any of these present shitstains.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

That's true, but Pelosi aint THAT old. 😉

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 12 points 10 months ago

Gracias a dios

'I've made enough money, time to give someone else a shot.'

Fuck you and the horse you rode in on Pelosi

Good. She became what she swore to fight against. She's should have quit on a high note decades ago

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

Counterpoint: She was always that person from the very beginning, and that's precisely why she didn't quit decades ago.

[–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemmy.today 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What? She's always been socially liberal but fiscally conservative and in the pocket of big businesses.

She has always lived a privileged life who got where she is today because of her family connections. Her father was a congressman and her brother in law was a long term member of the county and city advisory board for San Francisco. Her husband is the head of a venture capital and rel estate investment group.

Isn’t that just the definition of a liberal?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 4 points 10 months ago

It's the definition of a neoliberal, and further exploration requires paragraphs of commentary that the libs won't read anyways

[–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemmy.today 1 points 10 months ago

Pretty unanimous with liberals today. However, we have to remember she is fucking ancient and back when her career started there were still liberals who believed in government spending.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago

Don't let the door hit your corrupt ass on the way out, Nancy.

[–] ABetterTomorrow@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

Fuck off and stay out. You’re outdated like most politicians in the US.

[–] Tronn4@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Gtfo. Don't expect a ticker tape parade

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 3 points 10 months ago

This is TERRIBLE News! Such a YOUNG Spry Chicken with SO MUCH Left to ~~Gain on Her Portfolio~~ Give to some People somewhere maybe in California!

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Burn in hell bitch

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Could have left as an icon, waited too long and shat over her legacy.

Same as RBG

“You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go.”

That can refer to much of the Democratic leadership and all of the Republicans, too.

Trump Congress ~ Rump Parliament.

[–] Bakkoda@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 months ago

In the manufacturing world this is what's called a dirty hold study. You can do them to push out expiration dates/cleaning cycles/campaign lengths for equipment. This one failed.

[–] chillpanzee@lemmy.ml 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Translation: she believes she wouldn’t win in a newly drawn district.

[–] Not_mikey@slrpnk.net 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

The San Francisco district didn't change in the redistricting, and remains one of the few coherent house districts these days. There is a progressive using the mamdani playbook challenging her in the 26 primaries, so maybe she just wants to quit while she's ahead and keep her undefeated record.

[–] chillpanzee@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

Ah. Thanks for clarifying.
