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!

As much as this shithead might be a hypocrite, even seeing Republicans peel away for selfish reasons is a good sign because it shows the calculation is starting to change. It’s no longer good to be aligned with Trump long term. You see other Republicans like MTG starting to think this way.
It really isn't.
McCain had been doing that since even pre-Dubyah and Romney followed after. It is the idea that they are "mavericks" who are "good republicans" to try and court the moderate voters... except they vote in lockstep outside of MAYBE one or two issues they personally care about.
Liz Cheney tried the same but found the party hated her enough that she basically got kicked out... and we all saw how that ended for everyone.
The fact of the matter is: There are no good republicans. And any who try to pretend they are are just running another grift. Because you don't make it to "senior strategist" without understanding what the party is fundamentally about. This is just another rat who is angry they aren't central to project 2025 who are banking on trump dying and there being a power vacuum.
“But I’m one of the good Nazis!”
Maybe if I'm in the mindless mob I can direct it towards good.
