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!

FUCK THIS GUY AND FUCK THE GOP
Mike Johnson is...
(not mine, but worth sharing and adding to)
"defending religious freedom,[...]and biblicial values."
I am a Christian [agnostic]. Bruv that shit is not how anything work
Christian agnostic? That sounds like an oxymoron, how does that work? (actual question, not being an asshole)
Basically, the belief that there's a lot you can't be sure of, but you choose to believe in the core of Chrisitianity: God and Jesus as extant and important entities, to put it a bit clinically.
Christian agnosticism Wikipedia
Gnosis and Theism aren't mutually exclusive. Gnosis is knowing and theism is believing. Most people who claim to be atheist are "agnostic atheist".
Because they don't believe in any gods but they can't fully know for a fact there isn't one. Though Richard Dawkins flirted with declaring himself a "gnostic atheist" many years back (not sure if he settled on it).
An agnostic Christian would probs be someone who chooses to believe in God and Jesus but not to know for certain. Within that there's varying degrees of how much they choose to follow the teachings.
