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!

Republicans went from Nixon to Reagan to George W. Bush to Sarah Palin, and finally to Trump, Pence, Marjorie Taylor Green, and Lauren Bobert... It's like they are deliberately trying to elect stupider people every year.
At this rate, by 2032 the Republican presidential nominee will be just be a brick with a Hitler mustache glued to it.
At least the brick would be better qualified than the Cheeto with a bad toupee.
Let's not forget when they shit all over their former front runner for the presidency, McCain, and lately, Romney
If prosecuting Trump is "communism" then sign me up for communism.
Sign me up either way. I’ll gladly take democratic ownership of corporations over our current stage of managerial feudalism anyday.
Communism definitely has its own set of advantages and disadvantages, but the Republican Party just label everything they don't like "communism" and "socialism." Sometimes they even throw a "radical" in there. Words have lost all meaning.
And also something about "liberals".
Sounding kinda woke there buddy.
US right wing thought process:
Anything they disagree with = Communism (outside the USA calling "commie" sounds straight from the lips of General Jack D Ripper to outsiders.)
Anything they agree with = Democracy
Actually right now even democracy is considered a dirty word, they even say that US isn't democracy, but a republic (ignoring what republic is).
They already started conditioning their minions, that dictatorship isn't really all that bad.
The ironic thing is that the primary reason why communism is bad is that it normally comes together with totalitarism.
They sure love to see "deviated preverts" everywhere as well.
Whilst being deviant perverts.
I’m pretty sure she breathes through her asshole.
you can see when she does. it’s on her face.
The evidence before the court is
Incontrovertible, there's no need for
The jury to retire
In all my years of judging
I have never heard before
Of someone more deserving
Of the full penalty of law
The way you made them suffer
Your exquisite wife and mother
Fills me with the urge to defecate!
Since, my friend, you have revealed your
Deepest fear,
I sentence you to be exposed before
your peers—
TEAR DOWN THE WALL!
She makes Sarah Palin look like an intellectual.
If you've ever read the bit in William S. Burroughs' Naked Lunch about the man who taught his asshole to talk, that's her biography.
She was pretty good on Mr pickles, she should go back to music.

Her entire political career is based on saying loud dumb shit, no policy, no progress just REEEEE. She'd disappear tomorrow if everyone decided to stop paying attention to her
I wouldn't be surprised if that's the goal. While everyone's listening to her deranged rambling, the other scumbags are probably scheming in the shadows.
Ignoring her would definitely be the best thing.
Magic the gathering said that?
Mother tiggole giddies!
Haven’t they been wanting to impeach biden since before he even took office lol. They love saying that
Its reactionary bullshit. Republicans have just become the "anti-democrats"
correction they are anti-democratic and pro facists
I would need a lobotomy to understand that.
For MTG and conservatives in general, woke or communism just means "(the acts of) people we don't like"
Everyone here knows she's well aware it doesn't mean anything, right? To the fascists it's just a buzzword they use to rile up their base.
I think people should throw this stuff back at them.
MTG is communism. Canceling student debt forgiveness is woke. Stopping aid to Ukraine is part of the trans-agenda.
Etc
She’s a waste of carbon.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
But Marjorie Taylor Greene took it to the extreme, as she is wont to do, claiming that with the indictments of Donald Trump, “Americans are actually seeing what communism really looks like.”
But I hope that the amount of overwhelming evidence that has come out and continues to pour out will convince those members that are still on the fence.”
Bartiromo then went on to make a specious argument of her own, claiming that the Trump indictments are some kind of distraction from news about Biden’s alleged corruption.
Bartiromo’s allegation — that prosecutors are somehow coordinating their indictments of Trump to distract from Hunter Biden news — would require a massive conspiracy among attorneys across the country.
The timeline is also laughable, with charges against the former president coming sometimes multiple weeks after news broke about Biden’s son.
And the allegations Bartiromo cites against Hunter Biden are often uncorroborated or unverified, unlike much of the evidence in the indictments against Trump.
I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Bloody right whingers....no principles.
The stupidity is astounding.
I wish people would stop giving Nazi barbie attention, she knows what she's saying is bullshit, even she's not as stupid as she sounds.
Someone quick, knock her teeth out for a cock, because that hole in her face is only good for holstering a cock.
Yeah......no......no matter how much you hate someone, objectifying them isn't the way to go.
