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!

You it's a Mad Easter when MGT is the voice of reason you are applauding, even if she is nucking futz.
Why didn't she stay in her role and fight him instead of resigning like a fucking coward?
She made bank riding the Trump Train, and now she's trying to make people forget, so she won't get pulled under with him when he goes down.
Let them fight and stand back, you clod. If she needs somebody to pass her a baseball bat or a rock while she's duking it out, give it to her. That's all you have to do. You ain't gotta become friends. Learn some pragmatism.
She's a contrarian. Don't mistake Tucker Carlson tier reactionary hot takes for reasonable analysis
I'm surprised she didn't also mention that Israel has space lasers.
I'm honestly developing a crush on MGT.
I just threw up a little in my mouth. Don't be a weirdo.
Hehehe
What the fuck is wrong with you? I mean, to each their own, but.. what the fuck is wrong with you? Seriously?
Hehehe I can't help it, ex-trump people turn me on.
Bruh save that shit for Byron Noem.
I wouldn't, the Medusa story is based on her (and it's not the hair on her head that you need to be worried about).
