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!

We have definitely been transported to an alternate universe

This headline is easy to read wrong -- my brain grouped the subject of this headline the other way at first. I read, "Marjorie rages at (Mike and calls to fund government)" rather than "Marjorie (rages at Mike) and (calls to fund government)."

Now is the time Dems must insist on border security bill and negating presidential immunity as a must for passing the budget

How the hell did MTG start sounding reasonable. What alternate universe have we entered.

The Darkest Timeline, or hear me out… they were swapped with their Mirror Universe counterpart.

BBBB Broke ranks? Unbelievable

Like a rat fleeing a sinking ship.

OK, I'm selling everything and moving to a cave in the mountains, because if MTG is going to act sane for 5 minutes in a row, then some serious shit is coming down

Selfish snake switches sides when her own side starts to lose pressure. Nothing strange here

I genuinely hope this is due to therapy and/or medication. I'm willing to wipe the slate for someone putting in real effort who just needs some sort.

But should she burn any fucking bridges after this...
