It's amazing that we were able to elect people so unqualified for office. I have no idea how they were able to make it to the polls without being hit by a bus...

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.

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.

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!"

Lots and lots of gerrymandering

“This amendment would make that humanitarian aid illegal and people would die,” she concluded before Luna rose to rebut her speech.
“Chairman, I couldn’t help but pull out my pocket Constitution and I couldn’t seem to find anywhere in here where it says we need to fund programs for humanitarian aid for women and children in Afghanistan,” Luna said. “So, with that, I just wanted to point that out.”
Swamp ass.
Considering the impact they had on supporting the revolution the writers of the constitution oversaw and took part in it is a good thing France and Spain didnt have as many compunctions about providing aid.
Luna is a continuing source of inspiration

Is she that stupid, or that much of a bad actor?
We spend generations creating a population of uneducated people by gutting public education systems and price lockouting higher education, so now we need politicians that can pretend to be dumb, fit in and garner their support.
Or hired by stupid people to be a bad actor?
also yes
Yes.
That’s an inclusive “or”, so: yes.
Why not both?
Since it seems like Anna needs help reading, I'll point out the relevant text in the constitution:
[The President] shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur
Article 2, section 2
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think the Constitution mentions anything about women in government.
Otoh, it does mention something about sedition. That didn't seem to stop them though
The Lunatic is in the house
Does she know the “pocket constitution” also doesn’t mention that a woman can vote, let alone get elected?
I think you're right about the "get elected" part, but isn't voting amended to the constitution?
Those libturd, commie, sisy amendments aren't part of my constitution.

For some, cruelty is entirely the point and empathy is a weakness
please don't be from Florida. please don't be from Florida. please don't be from Florida
fuck.
Listen buddy it is like when you are on a plane. Make sure you are safe before helping others. Plenty of space available in the blue states.
I'm not leaving yet. I was born here, I'm staying here, and I'm voting here. I give it another ten years before I abandon state.
Thank you for your service
But the constitution also does not say that we shouldn't provide aid, so I guess it would be unconstitutional to not provide aid.
Aid for everyone!
Her constituents Josh and Aschleigh just heard "Blah blah blah Constitution blah blah blah brown people bad," and that was enough for them, so it served its purpose.
This wasn’t just about aid. “The fiscal 2024 National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA, which sets policy for the Pentagon and authorizes $886 billion in spending, was approved 219-210.” But, because a crazy Republican said something evil, you focus on that and the aid cut. Yes, we should deplore Republicans for being deplorable. But this increases military spending.
Feel free to post your own thread about that.
Guys, guys, trust me, America is good and never does anything bad. Trust me.
