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!

She kills puppies. That should be enough to sink her as a political candidate.

Remember when a small misspelling, or just a bit of exuberance, could kill your political career?

Putting Dijon on a hotdog or wearing a tan suit was considered a major political blunder in recent history.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

Well yeah, what else are you supposed to do with an unruly ~~dog~~ baby?

I am currently basically marooned in Rapid City after being assaulted in my own apartment, then losing my job, everything in my apartment, and my fucking car.

Now that I am barely surviving off of SSDI and can finally walk, a little bit, without extreme pain...

Half the billboards along major roads here in Rapid City feature advertisements begging you to put your baby up for adoption.

There are no billboards for Planned Parenthood.

The rest of the billboards are DUI warnings and Gambling Addiction Recovery.

Oh well, theres way, waaaay less crazed fentanyl addicts on the streets here than in Seattle, so thats nice.

But uh yeah, thats probably what she means by supports moms and babies. That like, they should exist. Not by giving them any meaningful like maternal leave or having good hospitals or any kind of public transit or state based funding to support them.

Just uh yeah, they should exist! And not be not moms, because abortion is worse than shooting puppies.

Well, Kristi Noem supports babies, moms, and families on their way to poverty and despair. So there is at least some truth to it.

Remember when killing Puppies and Babies was enough to sink a Political Career? Now it's called the Republican Pro Life Platform!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Whenever the day is that i forget her miserable self-important failure of a political career just like . . . uh . . that other one?! Will not be soon enough.
