e_t_ Admin , to Politics in Donald Trump calls off press conference where he said he would share report on Georgia election fraud claims

Sorry MAGA, but your evidence is in another castle.

Yepthatsme , to Politics in [Opinion Analysis] Meet the white Trump official behind the launch of Black America for Immigration Reform

Conservatives ruining the minds of minorities again?

AlligatorBlizzard , to Politics in Marjorie Taylor Greene booted from House Freedom Caucus

… Can we bring back dueling for our representatives?

Also, can someone with more of a history education tell me if the House has always been this much of a clown show or is this bad from a historical perspective too?

AngrilyEatingMuffins ,

Idk about the house but a senator almost beat another to death with his cane on the floor of the senate during debate

PowerCrazy , to Politics in Voters have real doubts about Kamala Harris as potential president, poll finds

Well fortunately for her the will of the voters is the least important metric about who will become president, so she has a great shot!

This is my shocked face

The POLITICO/Morning consult poll reveals that only a third of voters think it’s likely Harris would win an election were she to become the Democratic nominee, and just three of five Democrats believe she would prevail. A quarter of independents think she would win.

The poll shows that Harris shares the same poor ratings as Biden. Both are well underwater, Biden at 43 percent favorable and 54 unfavorable, Harris at 42 percent favorable and 52 percent unfavorable.

SatanicNotMessianic , to Politics in Gavin Newsom faces another recall threat in California

Not all states support recalls. California kind of goes all in on the democracy thing with the ease of introducing ballot initiatives and recalls and such. It’s mostly fine, but it can also result in pretty stupid plays like this.

ALostInquirer , to Politics in Gavin Newsom faces another recall threat in California

Are recalls possible in other US states, such that people could try to recall other governors?

Nollij ,

Certainly some. But unless there’s been a massive change in circumstances or character (e.g. named in a criminal case, or turned against their supporters), you’re unlikely to get results. The same people that voted them into office would have to vote them out. This goes against the entire premise of the incumbent advantage.

alyaza OP Mod , to U.S. News in Federal scientists conclude there is credible evidence for certain medical uses of marijuana

if all goes well–by which i mean if the DEA doesn’t do something stupid–this should lead to marijuana being moved to schedule III (the same schedule category as anabolic steroids and ketamine) later this year.

Everyone point & laugh at the pathetic fascist symp trying & failing to defend Trump in this thread.

Trump is nothing more than a 2 cent snake oil salesman. He accomplished nothing in his life and eventually the Epstein tapes will come out of him raping little girls. Hitler damn near took over the world. Trump did jack shit. He dreams of being revered at Hitlers magnitude. He is nothing.

I take Trump at his word that he’s never read Mein Kampf. The joke in Nazi Germany was that Mein Kampf was like the bible, everybody had a copy, but nobody read it. I tried to read it once, it was impenetrable and made lots of references to Weimar politics that went over my head.

But this isn’t the defense Trump thinks it is. Either he’s been listening to someone influenced by Hitler (my pet theory), or he thinks in parallel with the Fuhrer.

In that case Trump would be eager to go to prison.

Omega_Haxors , to Politics in ‘Trump Knows What He’s Doing’: The Creator of Godwin’s Law Says the Hitler Comparison Is Apt

The proper term is proto-fascist, but regardless I don’t think we should be allowing a klansman anywhere near the white house anyway.
