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.

- 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!

Just as expected, if you elect parasites to office you get parasite friendly policies.
That’s freedom for you!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
What is freedom if not freedom to blow your ass out?
It's more "efficient" to give more money to oligarchs. While everyone else gets sick.
Fun fact: Your asshole makes the same exact movement as your mouth does for both 'poop' and 'explosive diarrhea'.
oooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONOOOOOOOooooooooo?
And of course everything has gone to shit!
Only the best on the job. It’s the service we deserve. /s
RFK Jr is obviously in the pocket of Big Parasite after what happened.
Didn’t RFK have a brain parasite at one point? His parasite advocacy makes a lot more sense if you consider that he really might just be a brain worm piloting a vaguely human shaped mecha.
at one point
implying the brain worms ever left
They certainly flooded the zone, huh.
I wonder if Corey Doctorow's thesis about the enshittification of platforms extends to America.
Well, yeah, the parasites are charge, now. Just look at the expression on RFK’s human leather mask. It’s like that alien from Men in Black.
Keeping tabs on what the CDC hasn’t been testing for may now be the most efficient way to determine what diseases are circulating.
That's not how any of this works....
We studied the shit that was likely to have an outbreak
Republicans cancelled all the studies for anything that wasn't an active outbreak.
With no one keeping an eye on anything, outbreaks are happening, and we don't have early warning signs before an outbreak.
Like, the CDC doesn't waste a lot of time studying things that are extinct, and everything not extinct is "circulating", just hasn't had an outbreak on.
It's like you believe the Republicans bullshit that these studies aren't needed
