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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

He died, but how are the ladybugs doing? Have they been saved? They should clip them off and Steven Miller can chew on them for power when there aren't any minority children to suffer.

What I love most about Graham dying is Trump is already feeling the cold breath of death on the back of his neck. With the Mitch the Turtle retreating into his shell, and now a younger Graham dropping dead, Trump will definitely be feeling his days are numbered.

There's a meme theory floating around that Lindsey was blood sacrifice to keep McConnell going.

I prefer to believe that by keeping McConnell on life support, he's propping the door open.

(and as per rule 4: I'm merely pointing out that a meme exists, as it's tangentially relevant to the discussion)

Now how will we know which way the wind is blowing?

You can point out how this makes the world a better place but don't celebrate that fact because it is against the rules here.

What is the illness that took him. My Kelshi bet it some sort of Facist Ass Syphilis. I say that as we have learned since John Fetterman became a senator, brain damage make you more conservative. Syphilis is know to cause brain damage if left treated.

I did kinda hope it would be chlamydia related so we could clap this garbage off the stage
