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 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 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!

I just don't want to read about this woman any more. It's obvious she's a troll who is saying ridiculous things to stir anger and get attention.
I vote to secede any dumb and ignorant things she says from Lemmy altogether.
As stupid as the things she says are, she has real, tangible power. It's not smart to ignore such people.
If she actually has real power, she wouldn't be running her mouth and saying these ridiculous things that she wants to do, she would just be doing them.
What she's doing is something very Trumpian to get supporters(you can see that with DeSantis), the more you talk about how mad she makes you, the more reach she gets.
You don't have to actively ignore about her or get outraged, just be calm and treat her as the joke she is. In other words, don't take anything she SAYS seriously, take what she DOES seriously.
She's on multiple committees. She controls McCarthy's speakership. Why you think she has no power is beyond me.
Wasn't she kicked off pretty much every committee like a year ago?
Anyways, my point is by getting outraged by her trolling and posting what she says, you are just helping her spread her horrible message and doing free advertisment for her to gain more supporters and power. Because that's exactly what Trump did in 2016.
If that's what you want, then go ahead. I don't know what else to tell you.
I'm not outraged. I never even implied to be outraged. Don't make things up about me.
