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.

“I ache for him,” President Biden told reporters while chuckling when asked if he has a view on Jordan’s “current predicament” on Capitol Hill. “No. Zero. None.”
Glad to see POTUS being nonpartisan and not acting like it's junior high school politics... not... Kinda has a little more impact than just the shitty optics. I don't really give much of a fuck that the republican party is looking like a little tiny car with a whole lotta clowns in it, but I damned sure give a shit that it's having some collateral effects, and POTUS damned sure ought to as well.
This stupid fuck had 8 years as Obama's second, watching him react to situations just like this by telling people to be mindful of the consequences of their actions, or sometimes, just outright telling people to grow the fuck up... Biden could 100% have responded to the media with "republicans need to grow the fuck up" in exactly those terms, and cashed in huge returns in public and even legislator opinions of him, but he doesn't even have the tiny bit of sense it takes to understand that.
I hate literally all of these fuckers... I hate that theyve all become 12 year old children in their level of maturity, I hate that the majority of politics is focused on making anyone else look really shitty so their own shittiness seems ok, and I really really fucking hate that everyone is so absolutely fucked right now that trump is an actual viable fucking option. The bar should have never ever gotten low enough for trump to have a shot at it, and an actual second shot at it is just fucking absurdity...
Literally everyone in politics right now needs to grow the fuck up a little.
It's genuinely hilarious that you don't see the irony in criticizing them for being immature 12 year old children while simultaneously being unable to write a single sentence without using "fuck" and calling Biden a "stupid fuck".
Truly, that is the mark of wise maturity.
Not to mention the whole premise of the post is silly. A president is supposed to be nonpartisan? Since when?
Also, they're trying to say that junior high politics are somehow different than adult politics? The house is looking for a new speaker because a few people said that, "if you pass a bill with support from the other side, then you're out of there."
A Biden vote is definitely a "not Trumpty Dumpty" vote for me, but he's done about what I expected. I don't understand how people can hate him with the same passion as others can hate The Cheeto, though. I mean only one of those men is clearly evil and it's not the really old white guy that should be retired; it's the other really old white guy that should be retired (and in prison).
That's the Fetterman approach - and good on him. Biden is built different and that's not a bad thing. Let Fetterman attack and the President reconcile.
I like fetterman :) Dems oughta put that dude on the next ticket if he's willing, he'd bring some much needed respectability and bipartisanship back to the POTUS position, and I'd put good money on him sweeping the swing states easily.
