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.

The US values its weapons over decency.
To steal a quote: America is the land of gun care and health control.
The US values its weapons over children's lives.

The fuck is this Gillead neo-conservative insanity?
It's the wet dream so many of these sick fucks have been looking forward to ever since the start of this secular nation.
Call this a hot take, but I don't think we are a secular nation. We are de facto a Christian nation. This isn't a good thing.
If you look at the laws we have, from no selling alcohol on Sunday (the Lord's day), to anti-lgbtq legislation, to what our social conservatives draw upon for their arguments, it comes back to Christian fundamentalist politics.
If you are Muslim or Jewish, you are much more at risk of being the target of hate crimes than a Christian.
The separation of church and state is something we are still trying to do. Even Jimmy Carter, a deeply Christian man, pointed to Christian fundamentalism being the greatest threat to America.
"Give unto Caesar what is Caesar's and give unto God what is God's" -Mark 12:17 why do I need to use the Bible to say why we shouldn't have to use the Bible
Hard disagree. Separation of church and state is right there. RIGHT THERE. in the constitution (I don't mean literally of course, but you can FEEL it in there). And if you don't believe me just ask any of the 46 consecutively Christian presidents we've had and they'll tell you the same. The fact that 100% of them are Christian is clearly a coincidence (with #47 baking in the oven). I could easily flip a coin 46 times and have it land heads up every time.
Eh, if you define Christian as believing Jesus was the only son of god and the Messiah, then Thomas Jefferson was not one. He did believe in a god and Jesus' teachings enough to have his own gospel put together, but did not believe in things like the resurrection. He thought the gospels as-given were full of garbage written by corrupted people.
Usually people call that deism, when you believe in a god, but think Jesus was just a dude.
Many of the "founding fathers"/early US leaders were deists. They were super skeptical of organized religion in any form, and most dismissed out of hand the superstition and social control associated with religion. The US revolution happened at the height of the Enlightenment.

Weren't Republicans crying about HIPAA (fixed spelling, thanks!) and shit earlier when asked if they got vaccinations? You guys actually care about sensitive patient health data or what's up?
They want both. Only when it suits them. Because they're cunts.
In conservland, we employ double-think. HIPPA is good. HIPPA is bad. See? It's easy!
Watch, I'll do it again just so you have a good understanding of the technique. The Jews are ruining everything. Isreal can do no wrong. Bam!
I'll vote no for the bill but also take credit for it with my constituents if it passes.
They learn their new script from the writers, and don’t bother with anything from the old one anymore.
What I want to know is what is she doing out of the kitchen and speaking in public.
Real life lol'd at this. Thanks!
That’s not freedom, stupid.
She's insane.
She's really crazy, like mouth frothing crazy. Watch her eyes when she speaks. It's blank in there.
She’s Mitch McConnell’s handpicked pet project. Expect career crazy from that one.
What a cool idea! Now let's track guns.
Yeah. Hard no. I don't want Trump and his Brown Shirts knowing what I have. And for the non-gun owning libs, you don't want them knowing what you don't have.
(I honestly get the dig OP. Good one.)
License, Registration and Insurance. Just like a car.
Small government, right
Remember these are the people who say they need guns to stop the government from overreaching
Is she the one who was doing that weird hyperventilating rebuttal to the state of the union address?
Yes. It took a while for the hysteria to end
She should have visited her doctor so he could administer a hysterical paroxysm.

I absolutely fucking hate pregnancy crisis centers. These fucks and the assholes that fund them are fucking sociopathic. When a woman is pregnant she has an extremely important and difficult decision to make that will effect her life in a fundamental way for at least two decades but probably permanently... trying to manipulate someone making such an important decision because of your bullshit holy book (that doesn't even care about this) is morally fucking reprehensible. I've spoken with people who have been unable to talk about being forced into conversations with these asshats without breaking down in tears - these fuckers inflict deep trauma.
In a few decades these fucks will be viewed in the same general light as eugenicists and we can't get there fucking soon enough.
Fun fact, the moral permissibility of abortion has far and away the most consensus among philosophers. Literally philosophers are more confident that abortion should be permissible than that the external world exists.
As such, you can use opinions on abortion as a litmus test for sociopathic tendency since it’s such an easy moral question. In doing so, however, you’d be confronting the fact that 30% of Americans are moral black holes from whom no rational opinion can be extracted. In that context, slavery, misogyny, religion, and all the evils of humanity suddenly make sense.
I absolutely fucking hate pregnancy crisis centers.
It's wild that it's Planned Parenthoods that get burned down, not the ones that deserve to be.

Wtf is wrong with these people?
Maybe they have a worm in their brain, mercury in their system, or possibly lead.
Just waiting to find out the bread has a new fungus in it

When it hits the other chamber, the left should tag on a requirement to have a national database of firearms, regardless of how they were obtained...if you own any firearm it must be registered. Make them shoot down their own bill.
Her eyes are as cracked and broken as an Alabama highway.
Rs: "Individual freedoms! No government overreach!"
Also Rs: "Let's track these motherfuckers so they can be punished."
Under his eye.
we had this already.
It's called birth certificates.
