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!

He's trying to end something that didn't exist in the first place.

maga nuts and redcaps cheer anyway because they're too stupid to know different and just blindly believe and support everything that leaks out of the diaper.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 4 days ago

Well, at least eggs are.... more expensive than ever.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago

Just like how they think the department of education sets the ciriculum in the states.

That poster is infuriating.

"My body, my choice" from the anti-choice crowd... The fucking nerve.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's intentionally infuriating. It's just like how they say their J6 day of terror was "peaceful" - it's to mock BLM protests which they insist "burned cities to the ground".

Also, they don't understand how public health works when they talk about "my body my choice". Something like herd immunity doesn't give a fuck about their feelings.

Show em the data that shows a significant amount of them are pedophiles. After going on about the third J6 Pedo they will shut up or change the convo real fast. I used to keep a list of all the Republican rapists to just drone on about anytime I needed to.

I don't have kids, but I'm always hearing from my coworkers in Texas about how their kids are bringing colds home, and how the schools get so bad that they have to close the schools down and go remote for a bit. If only there was some miracle of modern science that would help prevent this? Lol

Tomorrow:

Judge halts trumps order to end federal funding for schools requiring COVID vaccines.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It not going to happen because no schools do this right now. Trump is banning a made-up problem because MAGAs are still grumpy about shit that ended 3 years ago.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

I mean, I’d love to see republicans prosecuted for all their crimes even though it’s been a few years. Three years wasn’t that long ago, the real issue is that what they want isn’t based in any level of reality.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

The next day, federal judge lifts halt on Trump's order to end federal funding for schools requiring COVID vaccines.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

and they are not going to send the money anyway and will simply ignore the judge.

or someone is going to change their mind...

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

The next day:

Trump continues to withhold funding in-spite of judges order.

as-in, this is what is actually already happening

There is no points in courts or law if the system charged with administering them is above the law. The supreme court broke our constitution with their interpretation of executive power. Biden should have forced this issue by simply arresting Trump the day after the ruling and then just be like "Sup, Roberts?"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Surprise! Trump signing a big 'ole nothing burger, and his followers will eat it up. As of December, only 15 federally funded universities are still requiring the vaccine, and being such a short list, I didn't even recognize any of them.

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

I recognize Oberlin

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago

They sure do love protecting their children, don’t they?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago

I can't wait to die when my child brings home the superaviancovidflubird

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Sheer insanity. This is just about shrieking harpies on the right being total Karens about simple and common sense public hygiene.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

These are the idiots who failed basic math and science classes in grade school and high school. They have grown up now and their lack of critical thinking skills is amplified by Facebook and Fox News sound bites.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Yup. The same dinguses that sat there with crossed arms and eyes rolled, asking questions like "why do I need to know THIS?!!?" are now all grown up and "doing their own research" (even though they never learned any skills that would make them into autodidacts and would be hard pressed to spot even the most egregious of logical fallacies) by following other idiots on social media.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

The polio virus is delighted with the future under the MAGA fucktards.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

"Death to the children."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

Looking forward to bird flu going viral.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Man I'm so fuckin glad I'm out of school and don't have kids. Schools are about to become like little biodomes, full of all sortsa new and evolving infectious diseases, because they're not gonna stop here. Captain Brainworms is gonna tell Trump to ban all vaccines some day, and Trump is going to do it.
