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!

“Full transparency, I did not know about this section on pages 278-279 of the OBBB that strips states of the right to make laws or regulate AI for 10 years. I am adamantly OPPOSED to this and it is a violation of state rights and I would have voted NO if I had known this was in there,” the Georgia representative wrote on X.

These stupid fucks don't even read the shit. Just get paid to sign their names. What a fucking disgrace

I feel this is not the first time she or some other MAGA bimbo said something like this.

[–] NJSpradlin@lemmy.world 22 points 4 days ago (2 children)

She would have voted yes, regardless. She’s lying to her constituents and followers. If Trump says to rubber stamp it, that’s what his sycophants will do.

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago (2 children)

How else does she now have a net worth of $20mm?

[–] NJSpradlin@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

I guess that answers the question of, “Who do I have to blow for $20million?”

Someone actually read the bill.

It’s admit you’re evil or admit you’re a moron.

I would say I'm baffled at how her supporters could think she was a decent politician when she doesn't even proofread the bills she votes on and votes against her own opinions regularly.

But then I remember that I could just stop the previous paragraph at 'think' and have my answer as to why.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 2 points 4 days ago

how her supporters could think she was a decent politician

I don't think that's how MAGA voters work. They don't think "decent politician", they feel "she gives me good kneejerk reactions". And that's the problem.

[–] ghostlychonk@lemm.ee 30 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Any Republican saying this is lying. They 100% knew it was in there and are trying to fool constituents.

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago

MAGA constituents are okay with dumbfuckery and lying though.

You give them too much credit. I am sure plenty just voted for it to own the libs without any idea what was in it. Others probably only knew what fox news told them.

[–] TheFogan@programming.dev 3 points 3 days ago

fully disagree... they have no clue of jack shit of what they do. Their job is to sign off on what the right wing think tanks wrote up. Sometimes after the fact they are supposed to try and make up an arguement for why their constituants are going to like it if it gets enough public attention.

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com 34 points 4 days ago (1 children)

She never went into politics with either the intent or ability to do her job

She just wants attention, to grift, and to spread hate and be celebrated for it

She's a symptom of what's wrong with America

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

Yeah. Trump is sadly a canary in the coalmine.

[–] OmegaMan 15 points 4 days ago

I was trying to figure out why Magic The Gathering was writing their rules with AI for a second.

[–] Suavevillain@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The fact that people continue to vote Republican is something else literally pick anything else. Republicans don't even read or care about what they are voting on.

[–] Auli@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago

Let's not pretend like the Democrats read the bills.

[–] Moose@moose.best 9 points 3 days ago

Wait, this was from yesterday? So me, a full time working, non-American, random guy, knew about the AI part in this bill DAYS before someone who's actual fucking job it is to read and vote on this shit?

I don't fucking believe her. And if she's telling the truth it's not like it's any better.

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 16 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Her eyes are too close together, but if she could read, she would be really upset.

[–] alexc@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I don’t think there is anyone employed in any capacity today that is less competent than ~~US~~ politicians.
