    “You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go.”

    That can refer to much of the Democratic leadership and all of the Republicans, too.

    Trump Congress ~ Rump Parliament.

    For me, she lost all credibility when she refused to impeach Bush for war crimes. Seriously, Abu Ghraib? The torture memos? Nothing?

    If we had gone hard on Bush, Trump never would have run.

    Good. She became what she swore to fight against. She’s should have quit on a high note decades ago

      Counterpoint: She was always that person from the very beginning, and that’s precisely why she didn’t quit decades ago.

      What? She’s always been socially liberal but fiscally conservative and in the pocket of big businesses.

      She has always lived a privileged life who got where she is today because of her family connections. Her father was a congressman and her brother in law was a long term member of the county and city advisory board for San Francisco. Her husband is the head of a venture capital and rel estate investment group.

        Isn’t that just the definition of a liberal?

          It’s the definition of a neoliberal, and further exploration requires paragraphs of commentary that the libs won’t read anyways

          Pretty unanimous with liberals today. However, we have to remember she is fucking ancient and back when her career started there were still liberals who believed in government spending.

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!
