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!

It appears 2 contenders for the white house UFC cage match have emerged

Is mutual annihilation a possible outcome of this dispute?

[–] MrMcGasion@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

Duels are outlawed these days, but we seem to be bringing back old ideas every day lately, so maybe? I for one, think a dueling space to go with the new ballroom at the White House sounds period-appropriate.

Release the Trump/Epstein files

Give them each a knife and let nature take its course.

In all seriousness, unless empty G is somehow brought back into the fold, I think she'll continue making more and more noise and trouble, and....I wouldn't be that shocked if someone loyal to Taco does something to her, or at least attempts to. She's not just sniping with Loomer, but much of the party. I'm not sure if Loomer - who was questioning the Trump/Epstein files thing, IIRC - is even still considered "one of the good ones" any more.

Certainly, that little dweeb Mike Johnson is going to try to nullify MTG in some (legal) way if she keeps making war with nearly all of the party...

This is posturing for midterms because Republicans are so unpopular. She can say "See I'm not with them." And then go right back to voting R on every issue like she always does.

Who names these people? I feel like I’m stuck in a bad sitcom and all the writers are on strike. Let me out of this b list movie.

Said the pot to the kettle.

Takes one to know one.

It's always fun watching the orcs fighting each other

The drama of these far-right women all jockeying to be the one true MAGA lady is exhausting.

[–] Wazowski@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Let these cunts kill each other.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 day ago

They're so annoying that I don't even enjoy it when they first each other.

I've been robbed of my rightful schadenfreude.

Slash her tires, Laura. You're good at that.
