Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Missouri's Republican Gov. Mike Kehoe announced on Friday that he was calling for a special legislative session that will include redrawing the state's congressional map -- setting the stage for mid-decade redistricting in the state after Texas just finished doing the same.

So it really has come to blatant "fuck you we're not pretending to play by any rules of courtesy and custom anymore", and yet it goes on largely unopposed.

Decorum is dead, by most reports I see the left outnumber the right by a sizable margin, stop playing nice.

You'd think that in a country with that many guns, they'd be a bit more careful with pulling all this traitorous shit

[–] shittydwarf@piefed.social 39 points 3 days ago

There's been zero "find out" so yeah they'll just keep going

Only one side does that.

And really, I wish neither did and words and ballots worked.

We need to uncap the house and some degree of order would be restored.

While that may be true non of this will be fixed until shit like fox and Facebook are reduced to memory with their leaders and talking heads reduced to meat piles.

Ehh, the GOP does care what their base thinks of them, that's why they're doing all those podcasts. DNC is happy to say vote or die with little concern what their base thinks. Maybe if more Dems owned guns that would change, but I'm not so sure.

Hopefully all this back-n-forth bullshit will eventually lead to a total ban on all gerrymandering, by both sides. Maybe even ending up with a system where one person equals one vote.

The minute that happens the Republican party ceases to exist. It'll never happen

He needs a special session to deal with that gaping neck pussy.

A completely predictable result

I sometimes use the phrase "fuck you in the neck" as an insult, and it's most appropriate with this chud.
