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!

MODERATORS
 

Former Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), who is also the current Democratic Senate candidate for Ohio, found himself in hot water in a past campaign over his response to anti-trans attacks from Republicans, and now he appears to be taking a different approach. 

Instead of trying to defend or explain his views on trans rights, Brown released an ad last week slamming Republicans for focusing on trans people at all, when there are so many bigger challenges facing the state.

And just laugh in their faces every time they say Biden.

It's begun.

The tone of that "I yield back," just so "nobody cares about the answer to my question, dipshit, it was rhetorical. Keep stammering, you're only doing me a favor."

I remember the Bush administration blamed EVERYTHING on Clinton, who by all metrics, had a very successful presidency.

The blame game was getting old, as more and more incompetence took over the administration, but then Bush got reelected, and Hurricane Katrina happened. About three days into the circus of incompetence that accompanied everything the Bush administration did, someone tried to blame their piss poor total lack of preparation and response to the biggest, slowest, most predictable hurricane in history on Clinton, and you could almost hear the ENTIRE nation groan at once. Journalists savaged them for it so badly, that I never heard a Bush official ever blame anything on Clinton again.

We have to do that EVERY single time they bring up Biden, Obama, Clinton, etc. Just laugh in their faces, and when they try to justify it, just shake your head like they are too stupid to respond to, and start asking about Affordability and when and how Trump's AmerIsraeli War® is going to end.

I have watched this clip so many times over the past week or so. It is so hilarious.

But the Faux type of voter is so clueless that they actually believed dumbass donnie when he says he inherited the "worst inflation in history".

Fact just bounce off their skulls and they choose to believe tiny-d donnie. That dumbass getting roasted in your clip was trying to repeat the same fucking lie.
