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!

Coming from a state (NC) where Republicans regularly use asinine amendments any time they need to fluff a presidential candidate...

Yes it is. Suck on it, dickbag.

Maybe they should have thought about that before overturning Roe.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I mean if Trump wasn't running for President, and Roe was gone as it is... It would still be on the ballot. Who honestly thinks otherwise?

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sooo he actually thinks women voting is a bad thing, huh? Again with the quiet part...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

All the other sentient castrated-pig-scrotums were already thinking the same thing.

still love how someone referred to him as "that Skeletor looking motherfucker"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I refer to him as, “Voldemort lookin’ motherfucker”

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Your not wrong, but Voldemort gives him too much credit, He's more of a quirrel

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Y'all must be too young for batboy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I had this on a shirt in high school. Had all my friends sign it like a yearbook. I wish it had survived but I wore it out in a few years.

"Objection!"

"Why?"

"Because it's devastating to my campaign"

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago

I hope it fucking works

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago

Yea... and politics is a gimmick to make people vote.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What's the problem with trying to get more women to vote, Scott?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

More voters is always bad for Republicans.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I know that. I want Scott to explain why it's bad.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

STUPID Women trying to Vote for Life Saving Healthcare. It's SICKENING!

"Hey, I'm threatening you. This is a very real threat, and it's going to happen if you don't do something too counter. Don't act accordingly." - Rick Scott

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes, it could absolutely be construed that way.

And it would be 100% ok if it was.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Its super weird how they keep coming out all the time with these alternative, "can you believe they're gonna do this thing that every non-weird person is strangely on the same page about" or warning something obvious that isn't bad to non-weirdos.

They just can't themselves fromi threatening us with a good time

If Republicans are that scared of turnout, they could legislatively overturn their own abortion ban.

How dare women have an opinion on our laws that we created that reduce their body autonomy?

— Sen. Rick Scott while sucking Trump's cock at Mar-A-Lago (during the día de la cocaína party on April 21st, 2023)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Sen. Rick Scott probably thinks women voters is a gimmick.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Gimmick in the sense that your party leader used his opportunity to stack the Supreme Court with "Justices" that overturned almost 5 decades of precedent based on "because we wanted to". Maybe stop using the system to push wildly unpopular policies on the majority of Americans if you don't want people to vote against them.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Can’t have those uppity women voting can we?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Trump is a gimmick to turn out racist voters

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Rick Scott is a gimmick.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Heaven forbid women vote! /s

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

why the /s?

That's exactly how they think.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Just wanted to make sure it was abundantly clear that that wasn't my opinion!

Sadly, you're right. They don't want demographics to vote that would threaten their ability to hold onto power.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Rick Scott probably thinks a female orgasm is a gimmick of some sort, because he's never given one to anyone.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I consider myself a man of science. I don't believe in everything that random people make up online. People say they see ghosts. People say they see Bigfoot. People say they see ladies cum but until I witness it firsthand, it's all just myth and legend.

Rick Scott, Douchbag.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wait….

Please tell me he didn’t actually say that……

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I don't have a source but I know it's accurate.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

We need these amendments on every state ballots because the majority of voters want them. They passed the Kansas and will pass in Florida. Let the states decide that it should be legal everywhere
