“I don’t even know how many pages it is,” the Pennsylvania Republican told a constituent, a month after praising the far-right policy roadmap for its “accountability.”

    I don’t even know how many pages it is

    Is that really a defense? I’ve read lots of things. I don’t know how many pages any of them are.

          I’m sure he’s also familiar with the numbers 14 and 88.

    If you want to get Scott Perry out of Congress consider donating to his opponent Janelle Stelson.

    Yes, she’s a former Republican. Yes, she’s a centrist. Yes, she technically lives in Lancaster. But that’s the best we can hope for in this district and she’s a damn sight better than that asshole.

      And even at that, it seems more like the registration as a republican was more something she just forgot to update for a long time for her. Not like it was a recent shift in her views/voting

      “I did as many people did way back… I registered in the party that my parents were when I started out,” Stelson said. She said since she was in a job that required her not to participate in partisan politics, she had not given much thought to how she was registered.

      “And really, what matters to me is not how one is registered but how you vote. And I voted for Joe Biden, Josh Shapiro, John Fetterman, Hillary, Barack Obama. Bob Casey. And when I started seriously considering becoming a part of politics instead of covering it, I took care of business.”

        That’s a very central PA reason. My grandfather was one of those “voted for Eisenhower cause Lincoln won the war” Republicans until 2004.

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!
