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!

Insider trading?
Negative shit thrown at Pelosi in recent years:
She got a haircut during COVID.
She has a separate freezer for her ice cream.
She profits greatly from stock trades.
Two are non issues, and one is an issue that a great deal of congress members are guilty of.
Knock it off.
It's petty, it reduces her accomplishments to a meme, and it ignores the true scale of the problem that neither party wants to stop.
I agree it's a problem but it isn't solely a Pelosi issue. This is misogyny on full display. She isn't the Speaker. She's in the minority party and not even the minority leader.
Shutting down legitimate criticism of leadership is MAGA type thinking. Knock THAT off. Pretending the politicians you support are flawless or deflecting valid grievances with whataboutisms is not how you hold your party accountable for its shortcomings.
Fair. I didn't, and acknowledged she is part of the problem, but I take that hit for the tone I took.
And thanks for the civil reply, that was more civil than mine.
This is the internet, aren't we supposed to continue the cycle of toxicity...?
I may be an angry guy but I also want to help Lemmy be a better place.
So I try to both speak my mind and take my licks when I overstep.
A healthy balance. I applaud you.
angry toxic noises
There balance restored
Hey, I still hate him and all the libs like him
But like...the haircut, man! That's almost as bad as that time Obama wore that one suit!
SCANDALOUS.
