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!

Hey, better late than never, great that you finally realize the damage you've done.

However, not everyone deserves redemption.

This is huge.

I understand everyone’s hesitation, but this is still huge.

My fingers are crossed that she means it.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

My fingers are crossed that she means it.

She hasn't meant one fucking word she's spouted off into her dumbass base since she started in politics, and her actions in defending Trump and his administration put the same amount of blood on her hands. The number of people who died from mishandling of Covid, the number of US citizens who will die without healthcare options, the number of people who will die from the US abandoning science and the WHO, and of course the number of people who will die from the ending of USAID will be in the millions and millions.

No great president can turn it all around. Even if the best person for the job takes over tomorrow, it will take decades to undo the damage.

Fuck her. Fuck forgiving the worst people. Fuck people who get all the power in the world and use it to hurt the most vulnerable among us. She is the same as all of them.

She means it in the same way a bomb in a movie means it when it says "disarmed". The capacity is still there, and she's one craven opportunity away from exploding.

Cool add her to the list of people who I'll wait for to resign and make reparations for the harm and suffering and death her lies and ignorance and hate caused. Any day now, right.

Why do you want them to resign when they could use their position to make things better?

Leopards, faces and what not.

Anything for more attention methinks

[–] rozeboosje@masto.ai 3 points 2 weeks ago

@vegeta okay. Well done Marjorie. It's an admirable sentiment to express. But a lot of damage has already been done and I wouldn't be surprised if most Americans would feel it hard to trust that promise. But let's see how the next few years pan out. It should never be too hard to rebuild trust, but you have your work cut out for you, Marjorie. Best of luck.

I really hope she runs for Senate, because Warnock and Ossoff are quite popular in GA. She will fail and lose her House seat in the process. Good riddance bitch!

[–] Ashenlux@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

This is a good start. I still hope she leaves office and is never heard from again, but maybe her doing this will open the door for some more maga to find there way out of the cult.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I'm torn. I'm not sure I believe it, but I also don't think she is capable of premeditated deceit. I hope I'm wrong, but i expect it to last as long as an idf cease fire.

Okay. I'm willing to extend an olive branch by letting you try to make amends. I'm not saying I don't believe you. I'm not saying I don't don't believe you. I just need to see you do something first besides just saying "I'm sorry". If you actually actually mean it, you are not beyond redemption like tRump, Miller, or Musk.
