Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Exatly, he would have voted for if it was needed.
Republicans will get him across the finish line without Fetterman, Collins, or Murkowski.
Without McConnell, I guess they're going into it with exactly 50 votes. Shame Dems are so incompetent at obstruction that they couldn't drag out the Lindsey replacement long enough for another Republican to fall down a flight of stairs.
The have his sister voting for him
She's officially sworn in as Senator. But they got it done incredibly quickly, especially when you consider Adelita Grijalva waited 50 days before Mike Johnson was forced to swear her into her House seat.
Nothing to see here except spineless Dems
Watch what people do, not what they say.
Concerning Zionist Fetterman, Collins, and Murkowski, the old expression was this:
Getting a hall pass.
He's seeing the writing on the wall for his public image, and is buckling to popular opinion. Shithead Fetterman will resurface as soon as he's out of the spotlight.
Did hell freeze over?
No, his vote just isn't necessary to push through Blanche, so he gets to vote against it this time. This is just theater. It's a common Republican tactic, and as we're all unfortunately aware of now, Fetterman is a Republican in everything but name.
I think John Stewart rattled his cage.
