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!

That guy baffles me every time I read of him. Is he made of dumb or does he think everybody else is?
Nevermind. His voters don't care, so the latter it seems to be. Or both.
He appears to be mentally ill.
Yeah we know he's a Republican.
I love the one where he's being interviewed and the question is about what you do for Thanksgiving or something, his opponent is like, "oh yeah just good times with the family, we always get Haagen Dazs ice cream for a special treat." Then Santos is asked and he's like, "oh yeah I love those good times with family and Haagen Dazs ice cream, such a special time every year."
Found the clip it's amazing
That reminds me about that special time of the year. We always get Ben & Jerry's, because it's clearly superior.
By the way, I'm right back, I need to... uh, check the freezer for Russians. Yeah, not ice cream, Russians.
Oh there's no taste like Haagen Dazs for the holidays...
Sweatpants and Häagen-Dazs
Clearly enough other people are or he wouldn’t be where he is.
He saw how Trump conned his way to the office of the president of the us and he did the same to get into congress.
That sounds strange when I think about it, but Trump seems less insane. Dumb, cruel, immature, greedy, etc, sure. But less insane.
