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!

Even terminally ill people must prove they are too sick to work to keep their Medicaid coverage.

Man for some reason I just got shot back to middle school in the 90s and telling holocaust jokes about pizza and soap.

How times have changed?

You need to stop watching Fox News. Everybody else knows they're fucking Nazis and they're all saying it out loud.

Remember: with MAGA, the cruelty is the point.

As someone with cancer it's why I have been trying to get on disability to "prove" that I need medicaid.

Otherwise I lose it with a year to go in my treatment.

As someone with a disability, that's why I left the this godforsaken country 25 years ago.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I only wish that had ever been an option for me.

You can keep your lazy, your welfare-queens, your filthy plebians sucking up my free air.

This is Trump's New Colossus.

Add to the Trumpian genocide list:

  1. Hispanic Americans and Immigrants
  2. Arabian and Muslim Americans
  3. Everyone who relied on USAID
  4. Palestinians
  5. Lebanese
  6. Iranians
  7. Venezuelans
  8. Cubans
  9. Transgender
  10. And now disabled Americans

But nah, refusing to vote for Kamala was "refusing to vote for genocide", or so the dipshits on .ml like to tell themselves.
