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!

Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) called out one-time ally Donald Trump for abandoning the core promises behind his “Make America Great Again” movement.

“MAGA is, I think people are realizing, it was all a lie,” she told YouTube host Kim Iversen. “It was a big lie for the people.”

The Trump administration, she said, is all about serving “big, big donors,” including foreign countries and large corporations, with many funneling cash to Trump’s PACs and pet projects such as his White House ballroom to win favor.

Idk what you are talking about, you just repudiated everything about her because of the comment about Israel using directed energy weapons from space that was weaponized by Israel's superfans to discredit her opposition to them. You now repudiating every subject she agrees with, because she's not pure enough for you on other subjects, your source for that purity standard? Israel.

And I am the asshole here. Maybe you could look at how some of these groups are playing you. As I said look at how people that are pure enough by the standard you are using to disqualify marjorie leaves you with insufficient people to win. And look at the people encouraging you to do that are Israel, and people that work for people they are blackmailing with video evidence of them fucking children through epstein.

Dude, you’ve decided (without evidence) that I’m the Frankenstein monster off all your persecutions and had an outburst that should land you in mental care.

Go away. I’m not reading your diatribe.

I am directly responding to your ad hominem response to my declaration that Marjorie is more progressive than most of the democratic party at this point, which is more a condemnation of the democratic party's degeneration than a ringing endorsement of Marjorie. You've offered nothing of substance, from your calling my comment "insane," to declaring victimhood when I used reason to make the point.

Which tracks, you are copying the people in charge, and that is how they do it, use emotional arguments and slander to obscure the issues, because reason repudiates their "reality."
