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.

Nobody voted for Fauci either. What's your point?
Fauci isn't a Nazi kleptocrat who is trying to dismantle the administrative state.
Reactionaries sure love to play dumb, huh?
Hey, what do we call Nazi apologists?
But he did have a lot power, and that was my point. I could probably name a bunch of other men, but he's one of the most well known of Bidens admin.
What power did he really have?
You're just repeating reactionary talking points, not really a surprise.
He was also one of the most well known of "Trump's men." Here's a hint: each STATE decided whether they would shut things down or not.
Hey, what do we call Nazi apologists?
You're asking someone who manages to get downvoted on conservative communities to answer that. I'm not sure what answer you would get other than "the good guys."
Oh, I appreciate the heads-up, but I'm well aquatinted with this particular reactionary.
I just think it's important to point out that he's a Nazi apologist; I don't really expect a coherent answer.
Hillary Clinton
Took you all morning to think of that gem, huh?
Being a Nazi apologist must consume all of your brainpower.
What power would that be? Be specific
That's literally his job worked and had worked for decades.
You know what didn't exist for decades and just began with Trump? Elon's DOGE, which is how he's running the entire country.
Fauci can't drain your bank account. Elon has all the data he needs to do it.
They have a point, tho. Doge was announced before the election, Trump told everyone he would appoint Musk. Presidents appoint thousands of unelected people to various positions at the start of an administration. When you're voting for a President, part of it is trusting their judgement as to who they'll pick. I don't think it should be a surprise to anyone that Trump would appoint a bunch of batshit crazy people to various positions, it's what happened last time.
Maybe Fauci isn't the best example of that tho, as he's been an apolitical career official for decades, as you said.
Fauci is not in any way a good example. Especially when he was appointed by George W. Bush.
Mooooooo?
Alright Bessie, time for your milking.
Takes out the milk pump, made to perfectly fit your hucow udders
Please, continue
Undoes your cowprint bikini strap and removes it
Easy there girl, we'll get you sorted out.
Gently bends you over the milking frame, and gently gives your butt a reassuring pat
What a fucking creep
Wtf did you expect when I started? And you even said to continue.
I expected you to embarrass yourself
LOL
Mate, it's the Internet. If you're aren't shitposting weird ass fetishes, getting cringy and weird, what are you doing?
Arguing about politics and looking at cute cats?
Not being creepy as fuck?
He had qualifications. What are fElon's qualifications?
