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!

We need to get impeachment votes on him now. Lying to congress is impeachable. Make the GoP defend him.

All violence is on the GOP

[–] Auli@lemmy.ca -1 points 6 days ago

They'll be no violence. The left is to weak, as ll the excuses well be I don't have time can't loose my healthcare.

I mean, assuming the republicans ever lose power, why should any of the conventions of the past be upheld? Why should not every single judge appointed by the republicans be removed from their positions?

Trump has shown you that the rules don't matter when you are in power, fucking learn the lesson already

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 9 points 6 days ago

Because one side values "decorum" and "reaching across the aisle" and one doesn't.

[–] TopsickPilgrim@lemmy.world 18 points 6 days ago (4 children)

Whats the process of removing a life time judge? Are they above the law?

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 17 points 6 days ago

They get removed at the end of their life.

[–] AngryRobot@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

Impeachment,so it won't happen in this country.

[–] TargaryenTKE@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

Technically no, but actually yes

[–] stonedtemplepilot@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago

Awful, but sadly expected. What a pack of ghouls, man.

I knew this was coming eventually. I'm shocked, but I can't really be surprised by Republicans' fecklessness at this point.

[–] lmdnw@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago

Hopefully he lives a very short life.

[–] etherphon@midwest.social 5 points 6 days ago

This dude is 44? Jesus christ I guess being a piece of shit really ages you.

Let me guess, he pinky promised Murkowski he would behave.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

She actually voted against him. Her and Collins are allowed to vote against GOP nominees as long as their votes don't matter.

Bove was confirmed, 50-49. Every Democrat opposed him, along with two Republicans: Sens. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Susan Collins (Maine).

[–] StepUp2DaStreets@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

They keep fucking doing that to placate their bases and it's so annoying.

[–] bitMasque@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Isn't that Count Orlok?

[–] P1k1e@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Nooooooo! You've gotta be fucking kidding me!
