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!

We straight up electing Captain Planet villains.
Yeah exactly wish we had a captain planet to destroy these facsiest fucks.
Speaking of which you notice Hollywood isn't remaking of that show.
Don Cheadle already remade it and it was perfection.
More like James (the king) Chaddis.
Hope the guy doesn't get a buncha death threats by peeps who are jealous of his massive jewels
He will. That is the thing about fanatics, offend their religious leaders in any way and they will retaliate to try to "deliver justice".
Fortunately, most of DeSantis's constituents are pissed off about the plans too.
This may be different. Protests were not partisan. There was uproar from those without deep pockets across the whole spectrum. While I don't doubt some dipshits will still do it, it'll probably be fewer than other, more hyper-partisan issues.
I thought it was illegal to retaliate against whistleblowers? Does it not apply to the government?
When the Republicans control the judicial system, "illegal" only applies to Democrats.
Our whistleblower laws are more or less toothless.
Seems like they can always find something. Or make up something to fire a person over. “He was 5 minutes late for a meeting in 1975” or other bullshit.
You can still sue if that punishment isn't being consistently applied. It's a civil trial, so you don't have to prove retaliation beyond a shadow of a doubt.
You can also gather evidence into court records as part of the civil trial. This can lead to a more serious trial against DeSantis et al.
You can find his GoFundMe here: https://gofund.me/6a8e58d0
That is, if you're looking to toss some support for what he did.
Glad to see people supporting this guy on his GoFundMe page. He was fired, but has probably made more in the last few days than he would have in 2 years. Doing the right thing not only stopped the project, but also worked out well for him personally.
It is funny because I was just explaining to someone a week ago why states should not control all the federal lands.
He was one of those guys who heard the state's rights propaganda. I explained that states have not been a good steward of the land in the past and what typically happens is monied interests try to take control.
Low and behold we have another state showing us why we can't trust them. Trying to convert public lands into private ones to make a quick buck and get more campaign money.
Fuck this plan. Those parks he wants to pave over, many are in the middle of some of the most expensive real estate markets here. Oleta park is the last mangrove habitat in the area, beach, trails, but the mangroves are the most important. Fuckers want to tear it down for pickle ball and golf so rich asses in the area have more stuff to do that they need to pay for so the city and county profit, instead of a park that's almost free for many people to enjoy.
In civilized countries, that's a crime.
