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!

‘I’m like, “[Expletive] you,”’ Marjorie Taylor Greene said about receiving threats from White House officials

Marjorie Taylor Greene has come out swinging at the White House over the Trump administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case.

The rift between the MAGA firebrand and White House deepened after a Trump official apparently told her that her support of bipartisan legislation ordering the release of the so-called Epstein files would be viewed as a “very hostile act.”

Greene is one of four Republicans, alongside Reps. Thomas Massie, Nancy Mace and Lauren Boebert to have signed on to a discharge petition to force the release of files related to Epstein. If a discharge petition receives the signature of a majority of members, they can force a vote without the consent of leadership.

The Timeline has fractured on a quantum level

[–] blave@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Is there any other kind of timeline fracture?

TFW you realize you're rooting for the worst people you know

[–] radio@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They told her all the democrats were pedophiles and she believed it. She still thinks releasing the Epstein files will result in a bloodbath on the left and the arrests of every Democrat congressman ever. She's an idiot.

If you sat her down and explained to her that this will be bad for Republicans because they are the people in the Epstein files she would never be able to connect those dots. She's not out to get trump, she's still after Obama, Clinton, and Biden.

A useful idiot is still useful, despite being an idiot.

[–] Ironfist79@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

That’s what this feels like. It’s not like these people were standing around smelling diapers for the love of the game. They want the power he wields and eventually they will come take it.

If she doesn't work for Trump and she doesn't work for her constituents, who does she work for?

The only dinner with candles she gets at home

That's true. She must be pissed with Trump tariffs making her stocks extremely volatile.

[–] ronigami@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

Russia probably

[–] WhatGodIsMadeOf@feddit.org 11 points 1 day ago

She's now realizing that Mafia are real.
