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!

Though I hate having to support MTG, I think we actually should, just for the moment. Strange bed fellows for sure, but just try to keep it together for a minute. If she can pull enough maga away for maga and the GOP to fall to pieces, I think it's a good day for everyone
Yeah, broken clock and all that. I think she genuinely cares about protecting kids, but has an extremely warped idea of what that entails.
Also, she's one of the few in that crowd to stick to her guns and it and not flip to the party narrative.
Even if she's generally a terrible person, is doing it for shitty reasons, or hasn't done it in the past. It's actually a good thing that it's happening at right now and should be encouraged.
The people maligning her reasons are ultimately made by those with worse motives, be it for genocide or protecting this israeli honeypot blackmail for israel.
The accusers have the worst motives and anyone that uncritically repeats them is playing you not acknowledging that.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, at least for a moment. We even allied with fucking STALIN to fight the Nazis.
So let's encourage Empty G and Boobert, and the rest of crazier-than-normal wing of MAGA in their revolt. Well-timed remarks like "Are you going to let him say that about you?" should help a lot.
