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!

weird right?

how these caged monkeys govern us until they literally disintegrate before our eyes?

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They keep them around until they literally need to wheel them in in wheelchairs and on life support so they can vote on shit.

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Just put this guy in a home already. This is torturing everybody.

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Right?! For over 40 years he has haunted those halls. The very same spectre from my childhood. Let it go already, dude, you "won"

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago

At the very least, America lost.

Just put this guy in a ~~home~~ hole already. This is torturing everybody.

Is he dead yet?

Member when Kentucky voted to send Moscow Mitch back again, like ten months ago? Okay fives years ago but still. They fucking kept this miserable traitor.

Looking at you Kentucky. You know what you did.

He heard the government was shut down and wanted to do the same.

[–] Tm12@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 days ago

He was trying to duck a question and got a bit literal.

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

Surprised they didn’t blame “antifa”

[–] santa@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 days ago

Did he freeze up mid-fall?

[–] Lancer@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago

I can’t wait to piss on this fascist fuck’s grave.

[–] Mpeach45@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

He probably lost his balance bending over to kiss an oil lobbyist’s ass.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Some say he's still falling to this very day..

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Turtles do that

Our bare minimum goal as humans should be to live a life where people across the world don't celebrate when we fall or get hurt. Mitch didn't get that message.

I saw the fucking video, Holden Bloodfeast's hip just snapped as he was walking
