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.
- 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.
- 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!

Ah, republicans. Where "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" doesn't apply because their brains are broken so they can't tell that everything around them isn't broken
Yeah, we knew that BEFORE you did it, but you did it anyway because thats the MAGA way - blow it all up first, then realize that was stupid, and work 1000x harder to put it back together.
Just yesterday I heard testimony from federal workers: they got fired (possibly illegally). They barely had enough time to let the anger subside, put up their feet and crack a beer, when they got another email from their former employer: the firing was a procedural error. You're still working for us. Come back monday morning or else.
Or else what? They are still fired? Strange way to manage anything
I'm sorry I don't remember the exact phrasing; it was quoted by a podaster anyhow. There was some sort of threat, based on the claim that they weren't actually really fired.
Unbelievable.
Don't you get locked out of your email when fired especially government ones? What happened to the people that were unable to check their employee email or just didn't check it since they were fired?
Eating > pride.
They'll go back until they find another job.
American health care: where the new standard of excellence is 80% correct limb amputation
On the plus side, I had the choice between my kid's prescription this month! It was a decision between paying $600 now, or waiting until June for the generic for only $150.
I think we can all agree that the systems here are fucked, but why did we have to blow up every-fucking-thing else up?
We can't even go refugee because we're god-damned pariahs.
and the generic will be more like $250 because it was manufactured overseas.
Our neighbor goes to Canada every year to buy a years worth of medication because its much cheaper. I suggested my mom do that to save money on her Eliquis, but shes convinced that foreign drugs come from dirty factories, and probably laced with Fentanyl. From Canada.
The Conservative Propaganda Machine is powerful. I have to talk her off some ridiculous Conservative cliff every time she goes on the Internet.
She loves clickbait, the more misleading the headline the better. Three years ago she read a clickbait headline about about Cracker Barrel closing, and when i read it, they were closing a couple stores somewhere. Now, whenever we pass a Cracker Barrel, she either reminds me they are going out of business, or she wonders when they are going to be closing their stores. I remind her that they arent going out of business, but she just says she read it, and its true. All from a misleading clickbait headline from years ago.
. I remind her that they arent going out of business, but she just says she read it, and its true.
"If what you read was true mom, why have we been having this conversation about them going out of business for 5 years?"
a decision between paying $600 now, or waiting until June for the generic for only $150.
God-fucking-dammit this is all so wrong. My empathy.
We can’t even go refugee because we’re god-damned pariahs.
What? No, that's not true.
What? No, that's not true.
A bit hyperbolic, I'll admit - though I'm in no position to uproot my family and move anywhere.
"What's the problem, you have a redundant back up."
"Yeah, but the backup has bone cancer, you idiot!"
"Lol, malpractice will buy you a prosthetic. My bad, bro. Look, I need to bail, I'm going to Costa Rica for the holidays! Later! YOLO!"
A bit late for that.
I'm living for these dopey ass photos they keep choosing for these idiots lmao
Gosh, it's almost like the idiots working for the convicted felon don't know what the fuck they are doing.
Remember to go meet a Republican specifically when you're really sick and contagious. It's not a problem for them because they get enough vitamin A.
Really... Why couldn't the curse have gotten this Kennedy?
Quick, someone invite him skiing or on a small aircraft!
It still might, I could definitely see someone shooting him for the joke alone let alone him pissing folks off.
Thank you brain worm for this insightful explanation.
Sounds like an excuse to replace 20% of the workforce with nepo babies
Lets gooo! United Healtcare denying US patients of their scheduled bloodletting and leeches!
20% of the layoffs seems low, especially considering 100% of the executive hires are terrible, awful, intentional "mistakes."
The only mistake was the brain worm not killing him. You think the statement of having brain worms would make him unable or undesirable to hold any type of office.
Somebody get that asshole a lozenge ffs
No shit, Dr. Dumbass...
