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.

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.

"please don't fuck over the american people and shut down the government, in a short sighted gotcha because that would ruin my long-term plans to fuck over the american people."
-Bitch McConnell
His long term plans of fucking Americans were complete long before this election cycle.
He still has more!
Does he? I thought he kept freezing up and then slithering away.
He freezes in shock when someone discovers and destroys one of his Horcruxes.
People like that?
Always scheming. Always.
He was running low on his Unicorn blood transfusion
Not if we can find and destroy all of his horcruxes
How are we gonna destroy Ted Cruz's beard?
TBH I never expected this. As he declines from old age ( as I inferred from https://apnews.com/article/mitch-mcconnell-senate-republican-leader-stepping-down-ba478d570a4561aa7baf91a204d7e366 and https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/watch-mitch-mcconnell-freeze-press-conference-rcna96486 ) he's actually becoming a reasonable, sensible politician.
Well, on second thought, I'm being too optimistic.
That's Moscow Bitch McConnell to you buddy
It’s weird how all the Republicans have the same first and middle name
Moscow's bitch McConnel can fuck off to that village the got for american expats. You know. The one right next to the front lines.
The one that somehow, in a way that only Minecraft and Escher could pull off, is only stairs and high windows?
I mean... I wouldn't trust the construction...
(or anything else. I'd just assume that anyone who took that offer would be off to the war in ukraine.)
Does he even have long term plans? After his little "episodes"... last year? God, time is weird now.
An explanation. Maybe
