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!

Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. As such, every lawsuit brought by a conservative is baseless.

It is not possible for a conservative to be honest. Honesty is simply not a conservative trait.

I waited to change my residency just so I could vote against that reptilian piece of shit Cruz. It's only two votes (my wife and I), but it's what I had to give. Fuck Ted Cruz and fuck the entire Texas GOP.

[–] AquaTofana@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Another two here cast for Allred today!

Honestly, while I'm watching the Presidential election with bated breath along with everyone else, I'm more invested in Ted Cruz and those 3 fuckwad Republican State Justices who are up for re election as well!

Fuck you Cruz, Blacklock, Bland, and Devine! LFG Allred, Weems, Jones, and Goldstein! Uproot those fascist fucks!

[–] Tyfud@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

You're a good person

[–] Countess425@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

+2 votes for Allred outside Austin

So when are we starting the investigation into Ted Cruz breaking campaign finance laws? Because I believe this is him admitting he's doing that

[–] orbitz@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago

Every accusation.. etc etc. I'm sure the being that pretends to be a human as Cruz is just melding into the Republican patterns.

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 30 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Go back to Canada, you soft teeth fascist

[–] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Uhh, no? Russia will welcome these slimy fucks

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 5 points 2 days ago

That’ll work

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago

If only there were some sort of organization to investigate campaign finance crimes? Wow it sure would be ironic if we had one but its operations were obstructed by fascist appointees from a Senate more interested in obstruction than governance.

He meant to take it up with the other FEC, Fuckheads Escaping to Cancún

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 14 points 3 days ago

Go cry about it in Cancun.

[–] athairmor@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

This is good news. It means he’s scared that Allred has chance of beating him.
