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!

Am I supposed to care about this? Garbage person says he won’t pick certain garbage people for cabinet but will pick other garbage people instead.

I think the takeaway is that he's going even deeper into the ~~swamp~~ dumpster this time.

he only values personal loyalty to him because he is a dangerous fascist

RFK Jr even getting considered for a cabinet position in this country’s health is wild to me. Another pandemic under this administration would be devastating.

Yes, and that's their plan. And remember that health goes beyond vaccines/pandemics, but he will be part of their abortion and contraception bans as well. Couple this with whatever horrible choice Trump picks to dismantle education, and school health programs are going to contain basically just "listen to your husband and/or God (depending on the issue), he knows best" for everything.

The people that felt like they needed to prove a point and put this man back in charge have fucked us for generations.

listen to your husband

Nah, men won't be allowed to have husbands.

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

Agreed. So basically they'll push living a lie on those boys, doubling down on the new religious school texts to solidify that guilt.
