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!

Chuck Schumer is the bag man for Wall Street and is a pretty blatant Zionist.

"Confronting Iran’s ruthless campaign of terror, nuclear ambitions, and regional aggression demands strength, resolve, and strategic clarity. The danger of wider, longer, and more devastating war has now dramatically increased.”

He's not against attacking Iran just wants Trump to let them declare war

Good. Let’s see the votes.

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Them voting for the war they want?

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Republicans famously want a war with Iran. I don’t think the Democrats will vote for it.

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So do the dems. That's the problem, both parties are excited by the thought of finally attacking iran

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why would Democrats challenge actions of a war they secretly support just to be put on record voting for them? There’s no logic to that argument.

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 month ago

They aren't challenging it, they just want to have congress rubber stamp it

It wouldn't take many republicans to join most of the democrats to fire his (*trump's) ass. It is a job that most people think he's doing a terrible job of.

Good thing we demonized all those people who pointed out Kamala's likelihood to change nothing on Israel policy but still held their nose and voted for her anyway. Those that speak out against the Party must be denounced and purged.
