“Jackson interjected, ‘Oh, shut up. I don’t even know that kid.’”
Oh gee! What a scandal! 🙄
Much ado about nothing.

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 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

MODERATORS
I said earlier that at least until the election, I am going to down-vote most discussions and articles that seem to be meant to sink Democrats by pushing a "Democrats in disarray" narrative - and that includes articles on issues meant to spring a trap on Democrats (trying to divide the coalition by painting someone as "genocidal" or "transphobic"), too. The left loves to eat their own, and Republicans and the Murc's Law Media are all too happy to give them an assist on that.
However.
I found it so funny that someone told Susan to shut up that I could not resist. There is a list of people that really, really need to be told to shut up, and she's definitely on that list. I'm just disappointed it was about this topic instead of on something like.... pretending to be agonizing over something before she just furrows her brow and backs the conservatives anyway...
Net negative post imo
Pfft. I tell Susan Collins to shut up all the time. I never get any press about it.
I'm sad there's no video to watch on repeat.
