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!

Summary

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) warned Republicans against opposing Donald Trump's nomination of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) as attorney general, stating that MAGA supporters would target their jobs if they break ranks.

Tuberville defended Trump’s right to choose his team, urging senators to “vote with President Trump.”

Gaetz, who recently resigned from Congress, is a divisive figure within the GOP, having faced FBI and House Ethics investigations over alleged misconduct.

Some Republicans are openly concerned about the nomination and are deliberating their next steps.

Gaetz, who recently resigned from Congress

What!? How did I miss that?
Are you telling me he was gone and now Trump has brought him back... what the fuck.

This must be how Marty McFly felt. This really is a Biff timeline

I believe it happened right after Trump's AG news was announced. It also conveniently came right before an ethics report was about to be released on him after the investigations finished

[–] [email protected] 11 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Damn I would have been very happy about that.

Now there's only sadness.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

They will vote tomorrow whether to release the report, so they still could

He has to resign to be AG. But yes resigning on just the nom, with the ethics report set to be released Friday, does make the whole thing stink. Especially given that Trump is transactional.

I can no longer find the head of the human centipede that is maga.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago

Maybe Russia. They're close to the front, at least.

Tommy Tuberville is a very Alabama name.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

But is pronounced to rhyme with rubber.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

I refuse to respect any Republican's preferred name. Its name is Tammy Tooberville.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

Not in my head.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

Just one of his long cons, no doubt

[–] [email protected] 9 points 12 hours ago

Its about time someone ended Tommy's career. I can't believe his own actions haven't. Dude is just a grade A cunt

[–] [email protected] 8 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Sen. Tommy Tuberville must be aware that the next time anyone is going to vote on any US Senators is (hopefully) in 2026, right?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago

Gee I sure hope this piece of shit stays real healthy.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Any guesses as to how soon it’ll be until Ol’ Tommy gets his face eaten by them leopards?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

He's rotten and party loyal enough that he'll probably be around until the end of the regime.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

Agreed, he's a smoothbrained asshole. He'd be one of the last to get their face eaten, I'll bet.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

What can he really do. Not play them in "the big game"? GTFO of here you sack of Florida shit

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 hours ago

He's from Alabama, and Trump has a 52 seat Repilican held senate with a majority enough to expel anyone who's not in favor with the GröpenFührer.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 6 hours ago (9 children)

Whether you like it or not, you can't say members of the Republican party are not beholden to their voters. Can't say as much for the Democrats, which is why they keep losing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

The qons are only beholden to the most terminally online of the magabrainz. Oh, and their donors.
