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!

Moscow Mitch, who so aggressively laid the groundwork for a fascist take-over suddenly wants to hold a fascist accountable?
Mitch is a worthless piece of shit who will be memorialized in history books as one of the maga movement's most evil figures. He will forever be linked to Trump.
It’s pretty funny, actually. McConnell is smarter, slier, contributed more, and was more willing to sacrifice everything to bring down American democracy, and at best he’ll be remembered (if at all) as an enabler.
Sucks to suck.
Cognitive decline grabbed that man a long time ago. Not it makes him bad, just that he should have left office a long time ago.
Mitch McConnel is a complete asshole through and through and has been for as long as he's been in politics.
He's probably worried about being seen as a loser and is trying to bail on Trump for the sake of his shit legacy since he's about to die
Blood is on his hands, America is weaker and the world is worse off with him being on it. He's a shisstain in the history books, soon to be forgotten.
Sorry, let me be clearer. He was born a bad person and has always been one. The fact that he is in mental decline doesn't make him a bad person--that happens to everyone.
