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.

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.

This dudes girl friend is a blonde B$&@& for a news station. She makes sure he gets the best coverage possible from the local news organization. It’s a joke how terrible northeast Pennsylvania has turned. A dude I used to work with started a hate group against gay teenagers. All financed by the gun cult church that’s there.
What is this and where is the context, and why are you censoring yourself.
I’m off of Facebook. So I can’t link to her profile but at WNEP-16. They have a local news anchor. Who is dating that dude. And she gives him the best coverage possible. Kind of fucked politically.

So people are just going to die right?
We’re going to have old people cut off from their health care, rural areas will have their hospitals closed, and people are going to die.
Why is the world such a sick place?
I'm trying to be optimistic, but I'm pretty sure a very large chunk of this the maga voters, this could be a lesson in hubris
They won't learn any lesson from it. Regardless of what happens MAGAt leaders will blame gays, trans, and immigrants ... and their brain dead followers will believe them.
All this bill did was shuffle money around so the billionaires get a tax break. The Republicans also apparently fucked Musk over as he did not get his promised government handout contracts.
Yeah, they self inflicted a ton of COVID deaths to avoid breaking their kayfabe. Clearly they learned nothing.
Reports states 25,000 people in US who uses Medicaid will die every year.

The world? No, it's the US.
Unfortunately, the gutting of USAID and foreign aid programs is projected to kill millions in the developing world.
And don't forget that RFK Jr. wants to let the new strain of bird flu spread. The world could experience a new pandemic in a few years.

It'll absolutely influence the rest of the world though :(
That soft power is increasingly disappearing and is unlikely to return to even a shadow of its former self in decades.

Listen to that one rep who said we're all gonna die!
We just need to accept the lord jesus into our hearts so that the hereafter will be assured! Fuck the present earth, it should go through trials like extreme weather, rampant sickness, wars etc - that's just a sign that the second coming is near!

Because they can't get off unless people are suffering. And the current suffering is getting boring, so they have to raise the stakes.
Nah, it's dumber than that. They don't want suffering to lose money, they want all the suffering and misery in the world to be incredibly profitable.

Conservatives and religion. There's also a strong overlap between the two.
Yeah they both suck
