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!

you're just a miserable little troll, aren't you?
edit: i am a veteran. every veteran matters. but anyone that actually served their country understand that the entire concept of a unit is to help each other. support each other. because we're not all the same. and we're not all strong at the same time.
What you're describing is "Empathy."
It just doesn't apply to "Brothers in Arms.'
It applies to each and every one of us.
EXCEPT the psychopaths who want to dominate those less wealthy and powerful.
it's very much not empathy in the military. it's teamwork. if the person never carries their share of the workload they're just dragging you down. in most other workplaces that can be annoying to mildly dangerous. in the military, with everything that is involved in that, it can be exceptionally dangerous, for everyone on the boat or in your unit or whatever.
I understand what you're saying.
But, extend that feeling to every other decent, moral citizen that you are so proud of "defending."
She's doing her job. She's one representative out of a huge number, most who are supporting Trump, so she's being vocal about it. What else do you want her to do? What are you doing?
Supporting people like Crockett who are not quietly letting this go. After all, it is their job as a representative to represent those of us who give a shit.
Back to you.
Ooo yeah Crockett is anything but dumb tbh. I've seen her go off on opposition during committees and councils. Shes one of the few ACTUAL smart politicians, with a real interest in helping the people that voted her into office.
And white princesses like Mace and Green absolutely HATE her.
I fear for Crockett's safety, but admire the shit out of her bravery and scuples.
