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!

They have been doing it for decades. I'm fairly certain Newt got them to do it as part of his intentional strategy to divide Washington (then, in lockstep, all these fuckers started talking about how "divisive" Obama is, imagine that) with his GOPAC training.
But it predates even that by decades.

It annoys me because every time I hear some brat of a Republican in a high position use it, they sound exactly like that stupid kid that knew that "ain't" is not a word, but they'd say it anyway to annoy teachers (or anyone that knows the English language, really). Or when you hear someone who has probably been corrected a thousand times on words like "supposedly" still say "supposably".
It just sounds like a defiant jackass demonstrating the Peter principle.
I wish to Zeus that reporters would make a pact to ALL start asking Republicans that do this simple questions such as: "You don't know the proper name of the DemocratIC Party?" or "Surely you know the name is the DemocratIC Party? Why don't you say the right name?" or "Do realize how childish your entire party comes off when you cannot even say 'the DemocratIC Party'?"
Really just shame these motherfuckers. At every chance when they do this. I wish Democratic Senators and Reps would do it on the floor, too. Same with guests on outlets like Faux, because Faux does it, too.
It's not a huge thing, but the complete childishness of the Republicans ALL doing it nearly uniformly should be pointed out as the childish and juvenile bullshit that it is.
