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!

And in a body that also contains Ted Cruz (TX), that Fucker Ron Johnson (WI), and John Kennedy (LA), that's saying something!

Yeah also as a Texan I'd put my man Cruz against ANYONE for shittiest senator. And trust this is about the only time I've positively referred to Cruz in any light that I can remember.

[–] collapse_already@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 month ago

The only thing nice I can say about Cruz is that in all of his years in office he has never once sponsored meaningful legislation. For most senators that would be a negative, but Cruz is so terrible that it seems like a win.

Really St. Louis Post-Dispatch? You didn't go with

Josh Hawley is the worst running Senator

?

That joke writes itself! Both because he's running for re-election, and also because he was running away from the mob he helped incite to overthrow the government.

They have a point, but that’s a target-rich environment. Shitty GOP Senators grow on trees these days. Rand Paul? Lindsay Graham? And those are the ones who know better and go along willingly.

Tuberville will paralyze the ability of the US military to promote its best officers to carry water for Putin. Traitorous filth.

Brave Josh Hawley ran away. Bravely ran away away. When rioters reared their ugly heads, He bravely turned his tail & fled. Yes, brave Josh Hawley turned about & gallantly he chickened out. Swiftly taking to his feet, He beat a very brave retreat. Bravest of the brave, J. Hawley!
