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!

Need a 60% vote and that'll never happen.
Democrats are never as good at predicting things as when they predict they can't get something done. The point is to try, to raise the issue, to force your opponent to defend the issue, to raise awareness and money and volunteers to beat back the waves of evil that would destroy us all.
My entire life, Democrats have been shrugging and rolling their eyes while Conservatives rub their genitals all over the furniture.
Did Donald Trump need 60% to get what he wanted? Did Dick Cheney? Did Reagan or Nixon need a supermajority to funnel money into their pockets while destroying lives? No, they got what they wanted while Democrats in charge lined their own pockets while destroying lives.
Don't come at me about Biden. He's a shitbag, but I'm voting for him anyway because we literally cannot have another Trump term. But I'm really fucking tired of hearing about things we're not trying to do because we'll probably fail. There's value in the failure, in the attempt.
Fuck I'm with you, let's impeach the fucker and make the Senate explain their vote. You've got me riled up.
It's cute that you think senators need reasons for things like this
"I think he learned his lesson"
Trump was impeached (twice) by democrats who knew it wouldn't be enough to remove him from office.
It took them three years to start the first impeachment.
