      Conservatives love to cosplay as big tough soldiers (while they defund the VA)

    Headline must match the article, please make it match or we’ll have to remove it.

    “‘Unbelievably Irresponsible’: Republican Senator Slammed After Suggesting More Terror Attacks Coming During Fox Interview”

    Which is funny, because people hate “slamming” articles. But it is what it is!

    “I can’t answer that,” Kennedy replied, pausing and then dramatically adding, “I can, but I won’t.”

    This is a weird thing to say, but my standards for what counts as “unbelievably irresponsible” are apparently a lot higher than some people’s because this ain’t it.

    The Kennedy’s have worn out any potential good will they may have ever had, earned or not, were a far cry from the original Robert and John

      He is not part of the famous Kennedy clan, but that is probably how he got elected in the first place.

    What’s truly sad is that Kennedy’s southern drawl is a complete act. https://www.mediaite.com/politics/columnist-who-went-to-school-with-sen-john-kennedy-his-accent-is-fake/

      He’s also highly educated but acts like a buffoon because he knows that’s what his voters want.

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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That’s all the rules!
