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!

Who am I gonna follow to make money on the stock market?!?!

[–] Manjushri@piefed.social 14 points 1 week ago

Almost anyone else in Congress, really.

For me, she lost all credibility when she refused to impeach Bush for war crimes. Seriously, Abu Ghraib? The torture memos? Nothing?

If we had gone hard on Bush, Trump never would have run.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Roll it back. If we'd been hard on the Confederates we wouldn't have any of these present shitstains.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

That's true, but Pelosi aint THAT old. 😉

'I've made enough money, time to give someone else a shot.'

Fuck you and the horse you rode in on Pelosi

[–] DrFistington@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Good. She became what she swore to fight against. She's should have quit on a high note decades ago

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

Counterpoint: She was always that person from the very beginning, and that's precisely why she didn't quit decades ago.

[–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemmy.today 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What? She's always been socially liberal but fiscally conservative and in the pocket of big businesses.

She has always lived a privileged life who got where she is today because of her family connections. Her father was a congressman and her brother in law was a long term member of the county and city advisory board for San Francisco. Her husband is the head of a venture capital and rel estate investment group.

always been socially liberal but fiscally conservative

Isn’t that just the definition of a liberal?

It's the definition of a neoliberal, and further exploration requires paragraphs of commentary that the libs won't read anyways

Pretty unanimous with liberals today. However, we have to remember she is fucking ancient and back when her career started there were still liberals who believed in government spending.

Don't let the door hit your corrupt ass on the way out, Nancy.

[–] Tronn4@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Gtfo. Don't expect a ticker tape parade

Fuck off and stay out. You’re outdated like most politicians in the US.

This is TERRIBLE News! Such a YOUNG Spry Chicken with SO MUCH Left to ~~Gain on Her Portfolio~~ Give to some People somewhere maybe in California!

Burn in hell bitch

In the manufacturing world this is what's called a dirty hold study. You can do them to push out expiration dates/cleaning cycles/campaign lengths for equipment. This one failed.

“You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go.”

That can refer to much of the Democratic leadership and all of the Republicans, too.

Trump Congress ~ Rump Parliament.

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Could have left as an icon, waited too long and shat over her legacy.

Same as RBG

[–] Jordan117@lemmy.world -4 points 1 week ago

Arguably the most effective Speaker in history, and got an incredible amount of maximally progressive legislation through the House on the thinnest of margins again and again and again. There's a reason Republicans hated (and feared) her so much.
