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!

They are regrouping. They will never stop trying to install fascism. That's because conservatism is fascism. Always has been.

[–] switcheroo@lemmy.world 6 points 1 hour ago

Nazis, pedophiles, grifters... Every fucking one of them

Jim Jordan, the rapist protector? The Jim Jordan that protected the rapist OSU coach? That Jim Jordan?

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 38 points 3 hours ago

Yes, that Jim Jordan who gaslit the victims of abuse and their families and then lied to the investigators to cover up his shame of enabling SA.

Yeah, that Jim Jordan. If you want someone to lie to the American people, Jim Jordan, SA enabler is your man.

[–] kmartburrito@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

Gym Jordan. Yep, that's the one

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 59 points 4 hours ago

Well, he’s good at protecting rapists so, I mean, I can see why they chose him

At least that makes it clear how the Republican party is going to handle the next two years. They're going to obstruct and delay, same as they always have. There won't be any reckoning or attempting to reform or do better. At least not from within.

Not that I expected that, but I've heard some people suggest that they might play ball a little and at least sacrifice some people like Hegseth and RFK Jr. That seems even less likely now.

And soon we will hear loud cries about how high the federal deficit suddenly mysteriously got, and how the Democrats should fix it.

[–] aetheplace@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Not even calls to fix it, because they wouldn't want to even imply their opponents could. Instead it will once again be a way to frame opposition to spending on programs that are positioned to improve lives, or to distract, with it being a "more important" topic than whatever initiative is being floated.

[–] DigitalTraveler42@lemmy.world 14 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Love how the Republicans are like "we didn't learn a damn thing from the election" fuck these fascist fucks

[–] tburkhol@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

Six hours of repudiating Trump, then right back to the anus. Just like Jan 6.

This doesn't exactly make sense...

Did they let people who are almost out office vote? Did the few incoming Republicans get to vote?

It's just weird to be doing it now.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

Donʻt stop your opponents when they are in the middle of making a mistake.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (2 children)

wait, does that mean between now and next year, that Gym Jordan is 3rd in line to the presidency?

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

No, because Mike Johnson is still House Speaker. Gym will become Minority Leader next year.

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Johnson is stepping down, and also will not be speaker come January

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 30 minutes ago

Yes, but they specified "between now and next year". He remains 3rd in line to the presidency until (probably Hakeem Jeffries) takes over next year.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Oh, I guess I should have opened and read it. I heard Mike stepped down so assumed this was for now.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 hours ago

He stepped down from being House Minority Leader next year.

[–] Asafum@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Oh God damnit... That is exactly the kind of shit we'd have happen in this shit timeline...

Trump dies (woohoo!)

JD gets into some couch related accident (ewww...)

Gym Jordan becomes the new dicktater

[–] Fishnoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Let's see what the inside of his skull looks like!
