I hope you're right, but I wouldn't get too excited. Their hate for minorities and the poor unites them in the end.

Start sharing the Revenge porn of each other in the house bathrooms.

I'm sure Gaetz has been taking some creep pics.

What kinds of women go to Republican orgies aside from sex workers and Russian operatives?

She used to be in a swing district. She won her first election by 1%. Then they gerrymandered the state more, and she won the next by 14%.

She has just recently leaned into the alt right with gaetz and bannon, so she most likely has polling that is the most politically safe thing for her to do.

McClintock [concludes], “I modestly suggest that you plan your martyrdom in the only way that truly matters: to have the wisdom to see the damage you have done to our country and to have the courage to set things right before it is too late."

Everything conservatives write sounds like that sovereign citizen tryhard faux legalese. Like there comes a point where trying to be too eloquent just makes you sound fucking dense.

I love that Republicans have had absolutely zero policy since basically Nixon and the one time in modern history it really mattered cuz of America's debt ceiling not only can't they do it but they fuck up the speaker position on top of it????? Lmfao.

This is like dunking on your own basket. Or scoring on your own goal.

I think being funny requires some basic level of intellect. That “Scarlet Letter” stunt was the absolute epitome of dumb! There is no way she read that book and thought, “oh yeah, that’s like the swamp I live in! Gotta make sure I push my point through by admitting to Adulty!”. I know that supposes she can read but give me a fucking break! Is performance of their idiocy equivalent to the level of stupid that have achieved? They have succeeded in unlocking “complete fucking idiot”. What does she really think an “A” on her low neck tshirt means? I would love to hear her Ted talk on that one!

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!
