Republicans have introduced a slew of bills to honor Donald Trump in the heat of the 2024 presidential campaign. It's the Summer of Trump for the House GOP.

        I don’t know. My native tongue is French. Sycophants in French means spy or inside informer. But we rarely, if ever, use that word.

        In English it has another meaning. I had to look it up.

          I have an extension recommendation if you’re using Firefox (and if not, I’m sure there are similar ones for other browsers):

          https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dictionary-anyvhere/

          Makes a little popup when you double click a word with its definition; and you can even double click a word in that for a followup definition when necessary.

          I use it all the time - 10/10.

          Maybe because an up-vote is - hands raising and down-vote is - hands down. Some things are hard to convey via internet messaging.

          mon ami, et-tu sur? I’m finding no reference to it at all.

      Good for you that you learned a new word today.

      But that term has been associated with Trump and characters like Elon and Bezos for a long time now.

        They looked up a word they did not know and learned something. Are you proud to be condescending to people who admit they didn’t know something you take for granted?

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.

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

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!
