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!

Each day, they get more brazen, and we are still stuck holding the bag.

is there anything to admit? that's a fact

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 26 points 4 months ago

Republicans admitting something is a fact is news because it rarely happens.

I'm sorry, I can't take anything that someone named "Markwayne" says seriously.

Edit: try saying his name without a southern accent. You can't.

[–] cowfodder@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I now have you tagged as "Markwayne". Thanks for the idea!

Life’s lonely at the top. Get used to it. lol

[–] biscuit@lemdro.id 10 points 4 months ago

Markwayne is two names put together. It's greedy. Markwayne is a greedy man!

[–] Mmmmhmmmmmmmmmm@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

Don't worry, he's also 4 feet tall and has a complex about it

[–] _chris@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

I am pretty confident I know what his accent is like just by reading his name.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

Mullin is such a stupid bastard and a coward. Oklahoma is only good at pumping out extereme MAGA politicians. It's their biggest export. Put a tariff on them.

Republican admits that green actually is the color green

[–] Draces@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

By total accident

[–] gonzo-rand19@moist.catsweat.com 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The real question is which consumers; I can't imagine that Trump is in the business of giving things away for nothing in return.

[–] Placebonickname@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

That’s what I’m saying man, where the Grif? Cause I know there must be one? How is Trump getting money from other countries having to pay more for our stuff, or having us pay more for theirs?

Or is this another Russia thing were Putin wants to distract from his invasion of Ukraine? Or maybe Putin just wants western economies to be stressed til the collapse?

[–] segabased@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 months ago

Bitch ass markwayne was terrified of the insurrectionists on J6 never forget

[–] Asmodeus_Krang 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Was watching this last night, these scum bags are just slippery as hell with how they talk about issues.

[–] PeteZa@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

This is merely performative talk. The GOP has assimilated already.

[–] FreeRangeMustard@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

Took em almost 2 months to realize. lol
