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!

can take the hoe outta the trailer park, but can't take the trailer park outta the hoe

Watching the modern Republican party is like pirating the wrong TMNT or Avengers movie and not realizing until you mom walks in the room that you got the porn parody.

sooo she's gonna be stoned for having gay sex, right?

[–] chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 13 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

On the one hand, this wouldn't be a story hardly if she was a man.

On the other hand, she's a hardline, purity Christian asshole and this is just another hypocritical thing from a GOP member to add the the mountainous pile of fucking hypocritical bullshit.

[–] Amberskin@europe.pub 2 points 1 hour ago

‘On one hand’ applies nicely to this ‘lady’.

[–] Thor_Whale@lemmus.org 3 points 2 hours ago

Lol she's such a ratchet clown

[–] bold_atlas@lemmy.world 12 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Radical idea: Maybe we shouldn't allow the pro-rape party to exist?

[–] manuallybreathing@lemmy.ml 9 points 8 hours ago

I thought they were the party of tradition, affairs are traditional as.

you can't make them care about it, well maybe because it's a woman they could get real misogynistic about it

[–] solidheron@sh.itjust.works 22 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Good to see Republicans having consentual sex with adults

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

Did she have line management authority over any of the staffers? If not, this is a non-issue except for the hypocrisy.

[–] solidheron@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

Oh shit good point. Guess I assume adults having sex should be consexual

[–] boaratio@lemmy.world 15 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Remember that time she jerked a dude off at a Beetlejuice play and then vaped, kicked out, and got caught on film, but yet still denied the whole thing? Color me shocked.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 hours ago

If it weren't an event for kids, that would have been OK, except for the vaping.

[–] MrSulu@lemmy.ml 12 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

1 at a time,.... or all at once?

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

Nothing wrong with a little Polyamory

The more Conservative, the more Corrupt.

Grandma loves biscuits and sausage

[–] heartSagan5@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 hours ago

that may have been a serious case of projection on her part.

[–] WraithGear@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

i mean i already got the email that stated that i didn’t make the cut…. OP i got bad news for you…

now if only i had news about my steam controller order

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 15 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

If she had as many prick poking out of her as she’s had poked in her she’d be a porcupine.

But honestly I don’t care about that. It’s all the other bullshit she’s done.

Edit. Doesn’t really surprise me. That one young congressman they ousted, the fella in the wheelchair, he told the press about all the parties. That’s why they got pissed at him and kicked him out.

[–] DanceMomsSavedMe@lemmy.zip 4 points 12 hours ago

Yupp he said the quiet part out loud.

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 35 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Fuck Lauren Boebert. But please do it poorly. Sincerely, Everyone she’s fucked richly

[–] bagsy@lemmy.world 15 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

You can take the girl out of the tailer park, but you cant take the trailer park out of the girl.

[–] Ironfist79@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

The whole trailer park has been in the girl.

Ah yes the republican point at the mirror double entendre. "YOU'RE THE PERVERTED ONE"

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 57 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Boebert’s office and her campaign have yet to respond, but her ex-husband, Jayson Boebert, has denied the allegations.

“I think it is all a fairy tale made up propaganda,” Jayson Boebert said. “I don’t believe any of that. Bad sources.”

Isn't that the guy who exposed himself to her at a bowling alley or something similar? Credible.

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

Probably a huge cuck like Kristi Noems husband.

[–] Bakkoda@lemmy.world 49 points 1 day ago

When she was a minor. With her friends who were also minors.

[–] Taldan@lemmy.world 21 points 23 hours ago

Imagine spending 200k to bury a story and it still gets out. Ouch

[–] Dojan@pawb.social 31 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Hate-fucking is consensual

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago (2 children)

This is absolutely disgusting!

I can't believe three people had sex with Lauren Boebert

Being bi and partisan doesn't make her bipartisan.

She’s not fucking children. That’s a massive improvement, even though she’s still a hypocritical cunt.

I mean her son is a different story, but still.

And this is the conservative standard for politicians.
