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!

Mitch McConnell didn’t just enable Trump—he architected the road to American fascism.

Burn in hell, Mitch.

Sub headline: Moscow Mitch Russian MVP.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 days ago

Much thanks to you, Moscow Mitch McConnell.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Russian's economy is in the dumpster, yeah? Like, they're a few years ahead of us on the falling-apart scale?

Have we seen big, shitty countries before? Russia and the US being shitty, non-globally competitive countries means neither one is likely to be a winner.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 days ago

Ya' think? We've been saying that all along. But, nope, gotta keep your seat in Congress for just one more term. Idiot.

Mitch McConnell's only possible path out of hell is to strap 20 pounds of C4 to himself and going to shake hands with Donny.

Trying to imagine a world where Mcturtle would have whipped the vote to indict that piece of shit donvict and throw him in prison where he fucking belongs.

Justice would have been done. Would that have torched Mcturtle's career and possibly put him in the line of fire for all the murderous magabrained dumbasses out there wanting to get revenge for their god-emperor being dealt with properly?

Yes. But still. He should have done everything possible to get donvict behind bars.

More likely: Russia loses, America loses, everyone loses

Except Canada. I'm betting they come out ahead cause they've been nice to everyone.

Future headline? That was the headline on Nov. 6th last year.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago

I don’t think there is one person who was more in the right place to stop this than Mitch so yea - fuck you Mitch

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago

That's already the headline, Moscow Mitch (you fucking bitch).

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago

Yeah, good job Mitch you stupid MF.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago

Thus his nickname Moscow mitch

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

Fuck off fuckface

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

If for no other reason than to make the turtle a liar, we have got to take our government back from the criminals that stole it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Cartoon villains aren’t this dense…

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

If only you had fucking done something about it instead of going on a power trip. This is literally your fault.

"Mumble mumble mumble, turtle turtle, empty political statement...om-nom, good samwidge..."

NO, motherfucker, this is not a game anymore! Get the fuck out of the way, because we need some people DOING things around here! Trump isn't killing the United States, it's the lack of opposition. These old-money-party Democrats are fiddling around while Rome burns.

McConnell is a retiring Republican senator, but I get your point.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

It's clear to me now that Polio actually contracted Mitch McConnell

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

Fuck you, Bitch McConnell. The Russians already have a stooge in the White House and you're to blame for this whole fucking mess existing in the first place. Go rot in hell with Reagan you fucking asshole.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

YOU ENABLED THIS, ASSHOLE.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Oh look, Moscow Mitch has figured it out!

Thanks Glitch. I’ll consider your moment of clarity while I piss on your grave.

To those not keeping score, this man may have single-handedly caused more damage to our institution than anyone else, alive or dead. It’s more than coincidence that his actions are in perfect alignment with the kremlin. We are now in a tail-spin of destabilization that greatly benefits putin. Funny how that all worked out, neh?

McConnell in the 8th inning: "hey, wait a minute...!"
