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!

If it is a sign that the GOP will start ~~beating~~ eating itself, that would make my life a lot easier.

Really the best we can hope for with this is that the federal government goes into total gridlock for the next two years and they cant do any 2025 shit. Itd help if Trump died since Vance wont be able to control the republican Blot flies.

They did run on the campaign claim that the government is too inefficient and never gets things done.

Yet if I piss on the managers computer I am accused of "Corporate Espionage" and "Assault with a acid".

The over consumption of mountain dew can lead to many abilities some would consider... unnatural.

Of course I care. The fragmentation of the Republican party is something that many of us have been hoping to see for a long time.

The good thing about the situation now, for those of us who think Trump is an evil piece of s***, is that he doesn't have too much power. He can kind of pressure people who are up for re-election in 2 years, but his voice will mean nothing at all in 4 years. Also, many politicians want to wield their power so that they can either feel powerful or get richer, and if all they do is rubber stamp the word from the White House, nobody's going to give them the time of day.
