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!

Mitch McConnell didn’t just enable Trump—he architected the road to American fascism.

Burn in hell, Mitch.

Yeah, thanks, Mitch, we know. Shut the fuck up, you've done enough. /S

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You did that, you fucking moron. God damn Mitch is acting like he's just some misunderstood good guy when he's why it happened. Moscow Mitch is a nickname for a reason.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

This is no longer Mitch McConnell, this is a dying old man thinking of what he's going to say to St. Peter.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Imagine the one guy who can be credited the most (aside from Trump/Musk) with us being where we are, complaining that we're here.

I want to punch him till his face is flat....

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

And I would like to give him a shave til his face is concave

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

A headline I look forward to: "Mitch McConnell dies; no one mourns"

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

Future? It’s now and he’s more responsible for it that all but a handful of folks.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

All thanks to him.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Like if he's not at fault.

Fuck off shit head.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

That is already a headline describing reality right now. Putin has won more than he ever would have expected.

Also fuck that ghoul, who more than anyone else (except perhaps Putin himself) was the person responsible for this situation. Hope your death will be long and painful.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Moscow Mitch trying to confess to get to heaven. I hope this guy ends up like promethous.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He is desperately trying to redeem his legacy for future historians, now that he realizes he is going to be taking the blame in future history books for enabling the MAGA scourge. He has finally figured out that he will be remembered as one of the worst, most destructive, Americans in history. He deserves it.

I hope he believes in God so he can live in terror of the afterlife during whatever life he has left.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I second the Prometheus idea.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago
[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

He should bud dwyer himself

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Wasn’t his nickname Moscow Mitch?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I'd welcome him to the right side of history since he now understands the situation, but he has realized too late that this was all his fault. Less whining, more taking responsibility for this.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Let's hope they both lose.

Fuck the US and fuck Russia

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is fucking Bitch McConnell's fault almost entirely

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 days ago

He was the 21st century problem, but he can share blame with Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich, who built the foundation that McConnell stood on.

[–] [email protected] 321 points 2 days ago (10 children)

this is your fault Mitch.

eat shit.

[–] [email protected] 89 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Lmao I hope he sees pitchforks before he dies.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I hope he feels pitchforks before he dies.

How could this possibly Moscow Mitch's fault!?

I can't wait till he dies so I can book my flight to piss on his grave.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I will be attending the group poop on his grave, no doubt. Rest in pieces, Bitch McConnell.

Mitch if you got cooked into Turtle soup that would be the only good that has ever come of you

KINDLY SHOVE A CACTUS UP YOUR ASS

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Why would he warn about something he himself arranged? Is he warning the american people who are dumb enough to vote for him and his russian partners?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Just announcing the success of his life's work lol.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 days ago

This guy bred the face-eating leopards for decades.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 days ago

ironic that someone who was instrumental in getting america to where it is today would be saying something like that. EAT SHIT YOU FUCKING CUNT.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago

he's trying to find the guy who did this

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 days ago

...then f*cking impeach, you whiny little bitch...

[–] [email protected] 118 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Entirely a product of his design, Russia would not be anywhere near as influencing today if not for his regressive agenda and undermining US democracy.

Without Moscow Mitch, Putin would still be at the Ukraine border throwing tantrum as more sanctions are thrown in his regime.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Russian's economy is in the dumpster, yeah? Like, they're a few years ahead of us on the falling-apart scale?

Have we seen big, shitty countries before? Russia and the US being shitty, non-globally competitive countries means neither one is likely to be a winner.

[–] [email protected] 94 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Fuck you, turtleboi.

You did this. You materially and consistently helped this to happen.

YOU FUCKING DID THIS.

[–] [email protected] 63 points 2 days ago

Your fault, dipshit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

If for no other reason than to make the turtle a liar, we have got to take our government back from the criminals that stole it

Yeah, no shit Michie, that is what you've been working on all this time

If you're too dumb to understand that then...nog fuck it, just die already and them please, and I mean this with all the passion in my atheist heart; burn in hell. Forever.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Fuck you, McConnell! You could’ve fixed this easily years ago. Instead you were too far up Donald’s ass. Go to hell!

I hate that we're still thinking about things in these terms. It's not Americans versus Russians, it's Americans, Russians, and pretty much everyone the fuck else versus our leadership. Putin fuckin sucks, so does our leadership, and it's the people of the US, the people of Russia, and all the people we impact that pay the price for it. If the average Russian gets ahead in life over me, it doesn't impact me. In fact, good job, bud, I'm happy for you. If our fucking asshole leaders get yet another leg up, though, it impacts basically everyone.
