No one’s crueler to the needy like the “Christians” from America’s Bible Belt states.

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!

Paging St. Luigi to Kentucky, please. St. Luigi to Kentucky.
Sen. Whitney Westerfield, a Republican from Fruit Hill who chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee, was one of the bill’s more vocal opponents. When he learned of the citation against a woman in labor, he called it “deplorable.”
A Republican showing compassion? Is that allowed?
A Republican talking about compassion while actually showing none is allowed, and actually encouraged.
There's always a "Republicans shocked to discovery what they vocally campaigned on would come to pass" headline in-between election cycles.
It's also important to note that state parties are different from the national party - as an example Vermont Republican Governor Scott is pro-choice and supportive of trans rights... a lot of state politicians aren't there to grandstand and instead work to solve local problems. Now, that bullshit politicking has been making it's way more often to the state level so that is changing but it's usually good to read up on politicians at the state level.
Not in Washington State, our r's are hot garbage.
Oh yeah - WA GOP is fucking insane - they're basically just assholes that bought into the same bullshit that's thoroughly infected Idaho.
Man, Idaho is fucking scary.
It's really beautiful in some places too. But yeah, don't live in Idaho.

This Republican was a voice against it, however.
There is a minority of Republicans that have actual republican values and are being drowned out, similarly to the socialists within the democratic party.
Its rare to see one, they have to hide now, leaving the typical "Republican" as a far right soulless thing. But this might be an instance of it.

Anyone that would be that stupid to pull that act has got to be an idiot ..... and to know that all of it was being actively recorded on a body camera that could be accessed and requested later on .... this has got to be the dumbest idiot in a uniform to date.
