Well, We Have a Speaker. He’s an Election Denier and an Extreme Christian Fundamentalist.

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!

This mf is third in line for the US presidency?
Please tell me I'm wrong. I hope I'm fucking wrong. Wtf America
Do you want the good news or the bad news first?
I'll start with the good news first
You're wrong. He's not third in line for the US presidency.
The bad news is
He's second. VP -> Speaker
Oh great, what's the real good news? Anything? Anything? /sadsack
I got into wine about a month ago and wish I had sooner. It really isn't as expensive as I thought it would be. I can buy a bottle of stuff I and my wife enjoy for about 20 bucks.
You might enjoy the app Vivino. It lets you scan wines with your phone and see ratings and notes about it.
It's made finding great wines less of a gamble when wanting to try something new.
Thanks! The guy at my local wine store suggested that one as well. I will definitely check it out.
I am not going to be like those guys spitting into buckets with bottles too expensive to open. I am going buy a bottle each week and me and my wife will enjoy it together. Then we will try something new the next week. Also I want to learn how to pair it with food and occasions.
It would require two people to either die or resign. Granted the President is like 130 and the Presidency ages you in dog years so the likelihood he dies in office is higher than most. But then there's a healthy Kamala Harris next up who gets to pick her own VP, who would then become first in line.
While I disagree with Kamala Harris on pretty much everything and don't think she would make a good President, she'd be a lot better than this wanker.
The down side is it does position him high in the Republican Party making him a presumptive front runner unless another option emerges.
Sorry, no good news other than he was wrong as hoped.
He and the Republican conference look so ridiculous that it will diminish the Republicans' election chances in 2024. Voters don't want abortion to be banned and feel iffy about January 6th, so there's a strong chance that 2024 will be dismal for Republicans.
