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!

And these lawmakers should be charged with any laws applicable to stochastic terrorism for even suggesting such a thing.

They've just seen what happens when they push hate, and here they are pushing more hate.

It's a bold strategy.

Didn't Reagan get rid of asylums?

Stupid fuckers

Mace throwing out slurs on TV like Southerners with the N-word in the 1800s.

Nancy? are your or your husband in the Epstein files? release them so we know.......

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

With a fucking rabid face like that, Nancy Mace is delusional to think that she shouldn't be institutionalized as well.

[–] Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Right, she looks like a fuckin banshee.

[–] RaoulDuke85@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

I love they chose this vile pic of her.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

I am more likely to suffer for this than these people are. They're more likely to live a life privileged by their hate.

May each and every congressperson be blessed with the life they work for me to have. To quote their Jesus "whatsoever you do to the least among you you do to me"

Nancy Mace sounds like something a trans woman would keep in her purse for self defense.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And I'm afraid the Democrats will be stupid enough to support this.

[–] myfunnyaccountname@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They will write a letter first saying how bad it is. Not strongly worded though, can’t offend anyone. And then willingly allow it to happen.

Hey! If we're lucky they might mount almost all the votes they need to stop this.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Gawd, Mace really has gone just Full Karen.

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 week ago

And if we apply The Law of Right Wing Projection, we can see this as the call for action we all knew was needed.

[–] dogs0n@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago

Quite a deranged thing to say, I really felt the interviewers laugh when she said it.

[–] Zier@fedia.io 9 points 1 week ago

Republicans are crazy and should be locked up for all the cruelty they inflict on society. They are liars, criminals, hypocrites, rapists and pedophiles. Keep your children away from them. They are dangerous. _The More You Know._🌠

Everyone who was supposed to protect America from a fascist takeover, they were off on a bender

[–] xylol@leminal.space 5 points 1 week ago

Ah yes they remember the dude who said that lives lost shouldn't affect your rights by changing peoples rights when his life was taken

I’m not sure how they are connected but I’m willing to sacrifice as many Charlie Kirk’s as it takes to find out.

[–] Flickerby@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

Can someone just take some crayons and illustarate to the republicans how many people they have killed vs ow many people trans folk have killed? I'd love to see the "FAKE NEWS FAKE NEWS LALALALALA" temper tantrum that ensues

[–] SereneSadie@lemmy.myserv.one 3 points 1 week ago

Mace is exactly what she needs to her vile face.

Repeatedly.

[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Are you sure it wasn't the green leaves on trees that made him violent? BAN ALL TREES!!

Jesus fucking Christ... Just reading about American politics these days makes my European brain dumber.
