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!

Who cares? At this stage (post Ukraine funding) he could pkuk right off for all I care.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That would be great if Ukraine never needed funding and the US didn’t need any bills to pass. He’s shown he willing to bring up bills without full GOP support, which is better than some of the alternatives

He also brought a law to make illegal voting illegal. He’s a culture war shithead.

Unlike the other esteemed and competent members of the GOP who would replace him

Wasn't illegal voting already illegal? What did he do exactly?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Culture war. Made it illegal for non-citizens to vote. Which was already illegal. Don't you feel better now?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (3 children)

What are you talking about? I'm not American, I'm confused. I'm not trolling I'm genuinely confused. I don't get how he can make something illegal if it already was illegal.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

They passed a bill to make it illegal to vote if you're not a citizen. Completely meaningless bill because that was already illegal. It's like the small towns that passed bills banning sharia law when Obama was in office. Stupid conservatives scared of everything except reality.

It plays into the hands of the jackasses that still pretend that the election was stolen from Trump through illegal votes.

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

I don't believe there are any explicit rules against redundancy in laws.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Why would he want to? Trump wants to give Ukraine to Russia anyway. Which is probably Mikey’s reasoning anyway.

That and the fact that most of the billions of dollars ends up back on US arms producers’ balance sheets anyway.

Donald Trump is worried about saving his own ass

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Can he? Maybe, maybe not. Will he though? Only if Johnson sucks trump's ass like all his other sycophants. But if Johnson doesn't suck his ass and bow down to him, no he will not help him in any way whatsoever. That's just who trump is.

"Speakear" Mike Johnson grew a spine when he realised he weas third in line for the presidency...
