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!

The far-right representative has plunged the House into chaos—and turned his own party against him.

Wasn't even a mistake it was a comedy bit she consented to.

Moore got banned from a mall for creeping on 14yo girls and his CURRENT WIFE MET HIM WHEN SHE WAS 16.

They are not even close to the same thing you're right.

I don't think the comedy bit was what sent it over the edge, it was the pic of him pretending to put his hands on her boobs in a pic while she was sleeping (from a perspective, he wasn't near her), that was the mistake. I agree, I think they had a fun relationship and he thought it was funny. I also think she didn't realize her lying would be taken so far. I saw her in shock when he resigned. She's a useful idiot and a shitty friend/person.

That pic WAS PART OF THE BIT. She was not asleep.

Are you sure about that? I'll take your word but then if that's true, I was a useful idiot too.

Don't feel bad. It wasn't a good taste joke. And what seemed to fly over a ton of people's heads is she had a flak jacket on. Essentially a physical gag about being protected from creeps.
