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!

I'm okay with MTG turning on Trump, and I'm okay with Khanna calling out Schumer.
Fuck it, let them eat each other.
I agree I'm fine with letting them rip each other to shreds, but knowing MGT and Kahnna (and Massie) are backed by Peter Thiel, let's me know that he is likely paying them (and the press) to do this for a reason. It may sound like too much of a conspiracy theory to believe, but there's a documented history of certain government agencies in the U.S. using media to manipulate broad public opinion, so at the very least you should be a little curious about who is pulling your strings and why. Because it's never being done strictly for your benefit.
I think everyone knows Trump could be replaced by Vance at any point over the next 3 years without anyone really giving it much thought.
Who would replace Schumer isn't as clear, but again, when you consider which Democrat is lobbying for his replacement (not AOC, not Sanders, but this fucking slimeball) you should question why his funder would need to oust Schumer right now?
As much as I dislike Schumer, he and other senators and members of the House are calling for the investigation of Peter Thiel and JP Morgan.
This is just a guess, but the first name that Kahnna floated for Schumer's replacement, is also currently investigating Thiel's crypto ties. Maybe Thiel's hoping that he would be willing to look the other way if Thiel helped him advance his career?
Same page overall.
I find myself surprised about what notions I'm no longer willing to write off out of hand.
Yes. But we have to just keep this information too And not forget it.
