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 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Jeffries and schumer need to go yesterMANYYEARSAGO, but I'm always cautious of Massie... Seemingly on the right side of history on one thing with the "courage" to call a pedophile a pedophile (in this one case at least) but he still has a lot of fucked up standard nutjob conservative ideas unfortunately.
Is anyone familiar enough with procedure here, did he need to call this when he did? Is there precedent for maybe working with dem leaders on timing, directly or through back channels, if he truly wanted this to pass? I don't know enough about the other dems that missed here, any of them those "blue dog" dipshits?
Because otherwise, Massie wants to be the guy seen as stirring shit up, but without ever actually toppling the regime? It's effective at taking wind out of the sails and giving the illusion that hegseth has support to folks paying half attention.
In any event, tie Haley Stevens to Nancy pelosi and throw them in the middle of the ocean. And let their only rescue support be chuck schumer as navigator on a coast guard ship piloted by Hakeem jefferies, 400 miles away.
Massie hates Trump. He's Republican and I vehemently disagree with him on many issues, but he's not MAGA. Massie is the kind of politician I can disagree with without hating.
But there was also an opportunity for the Republicans here. If the impeachment had gone through and the Senate fast-tracked the trial and voted to remove him, the GOP Senators could have done some real damage control for their brand while punishing Trump for what he did to them AND getting to confirm the next SecDef.
