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!

I enjoy this infighting

Why does her face always look like she’s wearing her own face as a mask?

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

This comment made my morning. I'll never look at that trog the same.

Because she is a ghoul in real life. So she wears this human mask, but not really good one.

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

The masks wear out over time. The rest of the lizard people don't like her and won't give her a new one.

Related: I'm looking forward to the day when every single article about politicians does not contain "blast" or "slam" in the headline.

One can dream, right?

Democrats and Republicans HUG IT OUT to end homelessness

Wow, that's some intense political drama! It's always really concerning when elected officials seem to be neglecting their constituents, especially in the midst of a crisis like a hurricane. Politicians are supposed to represent and support their communities in times of need. Ideally, this is what they're elected for, right?

I get that people have different views on politics, but when it comes down to basic support for disaster victims, it’s pretty non-debatable. People need help! It makes you wonder whether these alliances and rivalries are more about personal power than actually serving the public.

What’s everyone else's take? Do you think there's any valid reason for her not being there, or is this just political BS distracting from the main issue? Looking forward to your thoughts.

Good for Laura.

Wow, this is really disappointing to hear. Elected officials should totally be there for their constituents in times of crisis. Hurricanes can devastate communities and those impacted need all the support they can get. It's important for leaders to show up and help out, not just for the optics, but to genuinely assist those in need. Actions speak louder than words, right? I hope she rethinks her priorities because Georgians deserve better.
