The message from Mike Johnson’s election is stark: it is not possible for a defender of democracy to serve as a Republican speaker of the House.

    Isn’t that sedition? Not to mention a violation of literally the first sentence of the House of Representatives oath of office.

      Founded by abolitionists in 1865, The Nation has long believed that independent journalism has the capacity to bring about a more democratic and equitable world.

      I imagine people of a certain disposition will do whatever it takes to avoid reading from this site.

      I only see the article, no garbage on my screen.

      But then again, I live in 2023 and block ads on the Internet.

      Typical right-winger. No capacity to understand anything that fails to conform to your twisted world view.

      Are you arguing it’s inaccurate? Because it’s on video

      Are you arguing it’s unimportant? Because even if you think the question was unimportant, the group reaction to a question they didn’t like was absurdly undignified for a group of our nations leaders

      Are you arguing that their reaction was appropriate? Because I fail to see how a question asking for clarification on the new house speakers involvement in an attempt to undermined a democratic election is worthy of being booed and told to “shut up”

      Seriously, beyond “I don’t like it” or “it makes us look bad”, what exactly is your issue with the article or it’s subject?

      Edit: lol, looks like the pussy literally made a throwaway to post their comment. You know your political beliefs are solid when you’re terrified to have them associated with you in any way lol

      The Nation is known for a left leaning bias, but that doesn’t make them wrong.

      Is the reaction of the politicians also written by left-wingers? All that booing and ignoring of a difficult question?

      They link FoxNews itself at one point.
      There’s links to various other sources throughout if you had issue with any individual part of it.

      Lol.

      “I don’t like what the article says so it’s stupid!”

      The number of supposed “adults” who peaked somewhere between 10-12 years of age always astounds me.

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!
