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!

Is there a single more stupid bitch?
Genuinely, I want to know, because I don’t think there is
Maybe tied with Boebert?
I genuinely did not realize this wasn't boebert.. Apparently it's easy to conflate the amount of stupid going on...
Right, this is the one who got into an argument with Boebert about which of them got to file impeachment charges. And, somehow, both of them got reelected after their first term where they were... them.
Well. yes. Yes it is. I have to constantly ask myself "which one is this again".... and then I find myself asking, why do I even care. They're both idiots. they're both annoying, and they're both both a symptom and a cause...
Can we criticize even shitty people without resorting to sexist remarks please? Lemmy feels like it should be above that kinda language. Call her a turd or whatever 💩
It’s always disappointing to see people who think themselves reasonable delighting in the usage of slurs when given the opportunity to tear down someone they perceive as disliked by their community. It is much more damning to them than the object of their ire.
Greene is a symptom of the cancer metastasized on our civilization, but deploying gendered slurs against her is counterproductive and pitiful.
It's the attacks on appearance for me.
Pointless ones. She looks like a normal person. That she's got an infection of fascist brain worms is something you can call out directly.
I don't know... she looks like she has crazy eyes to me. I don't think that's sexist. I can think of plenty of crazy men with the similar look in their eyes.
There's a pretty big difference between saying someone has crazy eyes and the kind of attacks she draws regularly in center/left circles.
Fair enough.
1: Bitch isn’t a slur any more than dick is. That’s just an objectively false statement.
2: If someone is being a bitch, I’m going to call them a bitch - regardless of gender
Or would you prefer “cunt”?
Unfortunately for you, you are not the authority on what is and isn’t a slur.

Excuse me, could you please not insult turds by comparing them to that horrific person?!?!
Bless you. You be doin the Lord’s work.
Calling someone a bitch is no different than calling someone a dick or an asshole - and is not strictly tied to any gender. I’ll call anyone a bitch if they’re acting like one.
It would be different if I was casually referring to her as a bitch, like “I was talking to this one bitch” or something, but that’s not the case.
Since when was bitch sexist?
It depends on context. In this case it obviously is. If I were to say bitch please in a sassy way, it probably isn't.
I wouldn’t call her a “bitch”, but I would not disagree with the statement that she could be grouped in same category and class as Kyle’s Mom from South Park from the perspective of Eric Cartman
Trump.
She knows exactly what she's doing. She's telling the stupid and hateful exactly what they want to hear, and she's getting all that fantastic attention she craves.
Sydney Powell?
