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!

I'll bet 100 USD that Gaetz isn't around much longer. My guess is that he'll be bounced out of the HoR before the end of the year, maybe right after they restart in 2024 but no longer than that. He ended his political career with this stunt.
I’d love to see it but the republicans have to do it themselves and they’ve shown that there’s next to nothing they won’t tolerate to keep a voting body.
Now what’s interesting to me is Madison Cawthorn going down pretty much immediately. And what did he do that bought him such a quick exit? While they’ll claim x or y, to me it was him talking about republican cocaine orgies. Which sounds outlandish. But there was an immediate concentrated effort to oust him. He had that picture get dropped and whatnot. What spooked them? Odd that such an outlandish thing would get them worked up. Unless of course it’s true. Hrmmmm.
I don’t know I just heard an NPR article where they were interviewing people from Pensacola and it seemed the stupid republicans were happy he made this move.
He's going to run for Governor of Florida, and he is currently popular enough to win.
