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!

She followed this up yesterday by showing naked Hunter Biden pics on the floor of congress. Super genius lady. The Jews will never catch her sleeping with their space lasers!
Then she posted revenge porn and tweeted it out to minors.
I'm guessing Elon was just fine with that.
Wait, really?
Yes, really.
Fun fact: She won't be!
The tweet is incorrect. She is immune from civil and criminal penalties due to the Speech and Debate Clause.
Speech and debate protects her on the floor of Congress. It doesn't protect the website where she posted the revenge porn, or the tweet she sent out to everyone, including minors, sharing the revenge porn.
I didn’t realize she sent out a Tweet with it. The website is more complex. If it’s an official committee website she’s protected.
"they must be an integral part of the deliberative and communicative processes by which Members participate in committee and House proceedings with respect to the consideration and passage or rejection of proposed legislation or with respect to other matters which the Constitution places within the jurisdiction of either House"
I'm not sure about that. Are we really saying that Twitter is an official platform with which members of Congress conduct deliberation and meetings relating to legislation? That would be ridiculous.

Wow MTG really will fuck anything huh?
Unfortunately I don't look like a space laser, so I'll just have to allegedly pony up the 50 bucks for an hour of Boebert ... allegedly that is
That's half my rate to fuck Boebert...allegedly.
