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!

MODERATORS
Are they appointing the most incompetent people they can as an insult to America? It sure looks that way from the outside. This is kakistocracy.
The US is insulting itself. Trump should have been a joke the first time and they elected him twice. This is just a consequence of their actions.
He's the symptom of oligarchs owning politicians and judges.
This is part of authoritarian fascism.
Authoritarianism prizes loyalty far more than ability. You get appointed because you are bending the knee.
This would be hilarious if it were a joke. As reality, this is just horrific. Seems about right for the current timeline. :(
Hilarifying
Vomit.
Compared to Martin, there was little push backs from Congressional Democrats in response to Pirro's selection.

Two were not present, but all Democrats voted against it.
Next, DC is going be renamed "District of Cabernet"
Suck my dick
So glad to see the dems resisting. Oh wait.
Given that 0 of them voted for her, what would you have them do?
I'd prefer they set the building on fire
I would have them do what republicans do when they’re not in power- they seem to get what they want regardless.
Senate rules for confirming judges were changed. It only takes a simple majority now. Dems have been dragging things out and forcing role call votes to slow everything down, but there's only so much they can do.
Citing objectionable Trump administration candidates and lawless acts by the president and his team, Senate Democrats have slowed the process to a trickle, insisting on recorded votes for every nominee in a move that has left top agency slots vacant. It has also angered Republicans who accuse them of a new level of obstruction when it comes to confirmations.
In the end though, every democratic Senator can vote no and the republicans still win and the appointment is confirmed. What exactly do you want them to do?
I mean, middle aged Korean legislators were in the streets grabbing assault weapons out of the hands of law enforcement?
So, what do I expect? Physical resistance. Throw a punch. Get arrested. Storm a building. Show up armed.
If you think the US is getting out of this without a LOT of people breaking a LOT of laws, you’re in for a very rough time.
I want them to roll over like a dog and pussy out. Def inspires me for the midterms.
Self-immolation?
They don't have majority though.

I think in the past 2/3 was needed to confirm.
When has that ever stopped the chuds from getting what they want?
It’s so fucking bizarre to watch your country be taken over by people who are proving every day that your laws don’t matter and then listen to Americans on social media insist that the law doesn’t allow them to fight back. Absolute cowards.
People need to accept that the rule of law has failed.
The law will not save us, we need people in power to take back control by any means necessary. We need to bite and scratch
Yeah Im sure you'd be first in line if it was your country.
