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!

He definitely will in a couple of months like a good little Republican.

[–] Late2TheParty@lemmy.world 26 points 8 months ago

Hahahah Yup! Like, I'd totally believe this guy, except I saw his lips moving which means he's lying.

Normally statements denouncing Trump from a sitting elected Republican is accompanied by a retirement announcement (fears of primary challengers, etc). Now, that's not always the case but, to my knowledge, this guy might be the first US Senator to do so.

Senator Mitt Romney has been a vocal never-Trumper all along.

That's why OP said "normally".

[–] Jimmyeatsausage@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

Yes, we know...you're all brave little Republicans, risking it all to save your party. Right up until Trump notices you.

He'll like the boot like all the others.

[–] Hikermick@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

He's not up for reelection until 2028, plenty of time for people to forget

[–] kill_dash_nine@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

Unfortunately it doesn’t even matter. People around here will still vote for him regardless. His name now has staying power and people here are goldfish to any new info.

"I hate Trump however I will gladly vote for his agenda."

[–] Jordan117@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Pretty ballsy coming from an Indiana GOP senator after the last challenger dropped out.

Now let's see what he says in November.

I feel bad for thinking "Damn, this guy has demonic phrenology. This boys phenotypically devilish"
