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!

“Cotton got so mad he started talking about himself in the third person.
“Mr. Cotton says the chairman needs to rethink his decision,” said Cotton, as his name came up in the roll call. “That’s what Mr. Cotton says.””
Lmao imagine getting you mad about the same tactics you supported, that you refer to yourself in the 3rd person.
I think from that point on I would refuse to call him any thing other than Mr Cotton, and always in a drawn out child-story like way.
Mr. Cotton: "How dare you use Mr. Cotton's dirty tricks against Mr. Cotton!"
Mr Cotton is getting upset!
I can't. It seems like an oddly specific trait of his.
Trump does it too.
Hm, didn't know it.
Googled it and it seems like not precise, just a sliiiiight marker they can be narcissists. Not convincing at all. Being a politician and with GOP tho...
Bob Dole used to do it. Back when he was alive, I mean.
George is getting upset!
Doesn't donnie do that all the time?
Though I wonder if he does it from habit due to all those years pretending to be John Barron, etc...
Cotton's pronouns are Cotton and Cotton. I wonder how Teddy feels about that.
To be fair, you'd get a bit confused if you killed fiddy men too.
