Not me finding out about trash Gaetz on lanabords.com. Wishing he’d fade the consequences of his actions but I already know he won’t even get a slap on the wrist 

I’m creating this thread with the intent for discussion of general American politics, the presidency, Supreme Court, Congress, state legislatures, news stories, bills, etc etc etc. It could be a good space for stories that don’t need an entire thread
 
A lot of topics can be covered here for sure, but I wanted to start off with two huge stories from today: 
 
Rep. Matt Gaetz congressional ethics report released; shows he prostituted an underage girl among other drug crimes — CNN
 
President Biden commutes death sentences of 37 of 40 people on federal death row; to be given life sentences — Fox News
 
Posts about new stories or w/e should feature cogent sources and invoke well-mannered discussion~~ 

Underrated member; moi 

watched this for the first time other night and i was really into the cinematography and set building of this movie. like elisabeth sparkles show was like 80's workout vhs vibes and then sue's show is like a borderline strip show with a gay bathhouse track bassline going ham in the background. also the way the camera and sound effects emphasize the grinding and crunching sounds anytime someone's eating, making food this really disturbing thing.
maybe i only noticed these things because of how notoriously unsubtle this movie is but the way they executed the cuts and the score and stage building were really masterful to me

Lanita Del Rey the Latina icon that you are❤️ she’s standing in solidarity with her people by giving us two singles on Christmas Eve in honor of her Mexican sisters and brothers 🇲🇽

I want at least one song to be 8+ minutes

In my country, it is actually. We celebrate christmas in here on christmas eve, not christmas day. 

why is she cosplaying lizzy grant mvs

Most Latinos celebrate on Christmas Eve and since Lana is Mexican can she give us a cute present like Henry 

TASTE! her wedding dress is gorgeous, gorgeous the white lace, off the shoulder look is very much her.

Wait, I think I cracked something... "Henry" has 5 letters, so does "Santa" and when does Santa come? On Christmas. And when is Christmas? Tomorrow. And what day is it tomorrow? TUESDAY. And what is Lana's favourite day to release a single? TUESDAY. 
 
So Henry will be releaaed tomorrow

I wanna be gagged. I hope she gags us. 

Congressional ethics investigators found evidence Matt gaetz drugged and paid to have sex with a 17 year old girl amongst many other people. Nothing trump does surprises me at this point, but way this man was supposed to be our attorney general is disturbing

something shifted.. a potential classic..

kim kardashian? returning to music after jam? this must be a glitch in the matrix

Jam (Turn It Up) is unironically a cultural reset

Nadia Lee Cohen is one of the greatest visual artists right now, I think this music video is genuinely one of her greatest projects. It is so insane but also gorgeous. I can’t wait for Beyoncés visuals to finally come out so we have more Nadia directed videos

people are dying in his country due to the insufficiencies in the healthcare system , they are hungry , jobless and he is still talking about transgender people 
at the same time he is letting a billionaire run the country while he goes around trying to shift the focus from real problems to this...stripping away the rights of human beings seems to be more important to him

Speaking at a conference for young conservatives in Arizona on Sunday, Donald Trump said the official policy of his incoming administration would be to recognize only two genders - male and female - while promising to end the "transgender lunacy" on day one of his presidency.

That would be very terrible, I hope there will be a lot of protest in the USA.
 
Trump had already explained in more detail two years ago how he intends to take action against transgender people.

If she doesn’t end the album with Stand By Your Man, I’ll be so upset. That song is literally perfect for this album.
