Rules:

  1. The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
  5. For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
  6. Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
  7. This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
  8. All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

MODERATORS
 

U.S. Sen. John Cornyn went so far as to push legislation renaming a highway for President Donald Trump as he sought the president's endorsement in his hotly contested runoff with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

Now he says that bill "may not make it into my priorities the next seven months."

A week after losing his reelection bid to Paxton, who Trump endorsed in the final days of the race, Cornyn's political career is seemingly at its end. And the four-term senator — who said he is "looking forward to working in the private sector" — seems to have a new attitude to the president.

Someone ask him how it feels to have the aftertaste of Trump's dingleberries in his mouth while Paxton gets all the glory for being a slightly bigger piece of shit. He deserves it.

So much of the problem with these chuds is just transactional ego boosting. Like yeah, they’re doing the most horrible things to the most disadvantaged people they can find. But really they want their names and faces on things. It’s ugly vanity.

Anyway that’s my opinion on Germany in the 1930’s, sorry, maybe not relevant to this article.

He doesn't have a new attitude, he gambled and lost.
