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!

MODERATORS
Suuure. Just like they “refused” to come back to work until ACA subsidies were reinstated.
.... You mean to say that they could have done that before, and didn't?
Democrats are fucking worthless as well
Notice how it says threatened. Yeah. They are fucking worthless shits. All they do is talk.
Yeah, for what? They’ve now decided they want this rotten organization to reform itself after the latest killing? If you can withhold funding, withhold funding
They are collaborators. These threats are lies, theater for the masses, just like everything the Dem leadership does. Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are not on your side. They only care about wealthy elites and the stock market.
They don't want to piss off their donors. Finger wagging is the best they can do.
Wow, threaten.
Axios reported on Thursday that Murphy was preparing to introduce a sweeping reform package that would require a warrant for arrests, ban agents from wearing masks during enforcement operations and limit border patrol agents from operating in cities far from the border.
So, requiring these guys to act like this is a free country where rights are honored? That's some radicalized leftist stuff right there. This is where I guess the corporate dickheads that constitute my "liberal media" would point and say, bOtHsIdEs.
Meanwhile, this bill to recognize basic constitutional rights and legal norms will die in committee while being derided as radical Marxist leftist terrorist gender ideology.
OMG you guys maybe voting for the continuing resolution to allow record funding for a paramilitary organization while a dementia riddled, amoral lunatic is running the country was a mistake! Who would've guessed!?
“I did not foresee this.” - Democrats
Uh huh. You voted to fund it in the first place. This fight should have happened ages ago…not that they’ll stick to their guns, now.
Incompetent opposition.
Asked whether Democrats were prepared to use the appropriations process as a point of leverage, Schumer declined to say.
Shocker
Oh, the fascists have really done it now. The Democrats are threatening to begin looking for that spine they misplaced. It's gotta be around here somewhere...
And they'll keep the government shut down too!
That is until Netanyahu tells the 8 Dems to fold to Trump again.
Another empty threat? Load it on the pile with all the others and the Nazis will get to it once they've fully taken over the country. Don't worry, I'm sure it won't be long.
You already caved on this shit...
The Controlled Opposition Party will do no such thing. They will fold every time thanks to Schumer and his cabal of turncoat Democrats.
Schumer and his cabal of turncoat Democrats
That's not how you spell AIPAC
Don't threaten, make like Nike and JUST DO IT
Do it
That’ll last about as long as new Republican demands are met
They won’t. I wish they would but they simply won’t. Schumer will write a stern letter.
All I hear coming out of Cluck Cluck Chuck’s mouth is strangled… well. Clucking.
He gave up the fight.
The shit tsunami of responsibility isn’t aimed at him, but he still is getting splashed.
MURDER!
Not an anonymous 'agent' - the murderer's name is Jonathan David Ross.
Blah blah blah
I'm sure a strongly worded letter is being drafted as we speak!
ok, so they could have done this before, and for some reason didn't
this doesn't look good on you, democrats
also, stop threatening, nut up or shut up
That'll show them!
