Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I generally like my reps, but if they don't remove or effectively fight trump I will not vote for them again. This is an existential crisis and they given in way too much already. Put up or get primaried.
Frankly, at this point, it kinda feels like extremists of the anti-fascist variety are the sort of people we need.
Fuckers can't win unless they cheat.
If ANY elected Democrat votes for this, they need to be removed from office.

They always ensure that only judt enough Dems cross the aisle so that the rest of them don't give away that they support the same things as Republicans.
its good for the country but it might be percieved as a win for the democrats. we can't possibly allow it!!!

Not so loud. Democrats might capitulate in order to avoid one of those "win" thingies they hate so much.
Let me put this into my trusty Hyper-Normalization translator:
Wrrr..bizzt..click..click...blu-blu...ding!
"The circus is refining their act to adjust to an audience who is bored of business as usual. The clowns are being replaced with a freak show comprised of shit-eaters, geeks who bite the heads of chickens and a bearded lady whose beard is ZZ Top grade but the beard in on their ballsack. The lion show have reversed the roles and now one lion tames a group of ravenous trainers and makes them do tricks. The mime has been supplemented with pickpockets in the audience."
Everyone just go register as a republican can so you can still vote.
"Strict" is an odd way to say "anti-democracy."
