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!

They will get bailed out.
The people who vote Republican, and vote trump. They scream and screech about government spending. They complain about helping people with food stamps, free school lunches for kids. They reject Medicare for all and relieving college tuition debts. They vote to give tax decreases to billionaires who have 500 million dollar yachts, multiple hundred millions dollar mansions that sit empty, Lamborghinis that just sit there and never get driven.
They'll get bailed out with tax dollars. And they'll continue being hypocrites until they die.
They're not against government benefits. They just believe that 90% of the recipients are lying, lazy, liberal commie, transgender, urban criminal freeloaders who just don't want to work. If we could just get rid of all the abusers then the programs would have enough money to pay to the people who really deserve and need it (ie themselves).
They've already been bailed out. To the tune of $42B so far this year.

That's the first step. The next step will be blaming the farmers for not fixing their problem, in whatever nebulous fashion they should have.
When it's the farmer's fault, no more bailouts. That's when AcreTrader will show up.

Biggest welfare queens in the world.
Every accusation is a confession from conservatives.
