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.
- 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.
- 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!

"Congressman Michael Baumgartner is currently serving his first term in the U.S. House of Representatives where he represents the people of Washington State’s 5th Congressional District." https://baumgartner.house.gov/about
He's a MAGA bootlicker and is unfit for office. What an embarrassment to our nation he is.
It very much feels like all the American politicians getting any significant news coverage, now, are an embarrassment to the country, and the world.
You ALL agree with that by doing nothing. So is having a terrorist as president with the goal of ww3. You are the gun loving country where everyone is armed. The Republicans showed you how it's done. You on the other hand are just watching you are at least as guilty. Luigi the only person in America with courage.
Edit: This is not to say that I myself would have the courage to act differently. I would just know that I was partly to blame and would not wash my hands of it
Fuck off. America is huge! I could drive 6 hours in one direction and not leave my state. There's a lot of people that disagree with the current president's actions and he's thousands of miles away from me and many others.
What's my point again... oh yeah, fuck off. It takes a lot for anyone to do anything in this country.
We need to stand together! Power to the people.
Most of us can't just up an murder the POTUS, and where has Luigi's courage landed him? I love everything that he's accused of, but taking down an unguarded, unsuspecting CEO is not overthrowing the US government.
That's why I made the edit that I wouldn't be any better in this case, because as an outsider it's easy to say something like that.
