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!

With his botched response to COVID, Trump is directly responsible for more dead Americans than anybody else. Nothing our enemies have done compares.

I'm currently going through my second bout of COVID induced bronchitis, and I'm reminded of this with each cough

It's amazing the credit Trump gets, when he gets it, for his presidency. After hearing it several times now I feel they simply leave off his 4th year in office. Not that they should. If he was president during the good times he's president during the shit times too. He's responsible for his weak response, dangerous and irresponsible words, and a vast number of preventable deaths. He's responsible for his 4th year in office! He gets no pass!

He actively impeded testing, the vax, and access to PPE

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Let’s be fair though. He also came up with some great ideas like injecting bleach or using UV light “inside the body” or whatever.

/s if that wasn’t obvious.

The Brain Worms and Bleach tour. Yes, both are perfect specimens of health and healthy living!

Step one: eat questionable meat whenever available, at any temperature.

Step two: ??

Step three: profit(s over people)

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Step two: Spread disinformation about vaccines that would have prevented millions of deaths (RFK is a prominent anti-vaxxer)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Step 3, Assert that Americans have a god given right to drink unpasteurized raw milk, and imply that it's more healthy.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Naw. Thats step 4.

Step 3 is to buy the one company selling it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Well, when project 2025 destroys the FDA, we all will be eating questionable meat.

You'll have a whale of a time

Make America use Snakeoil Again

MASA (what he wants certain people to call him)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Trump isn't really in position to say this.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Examination of this slogan confirms both Trump and RFK are filled with mold

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Is he just going through the alphabet? Is it gonna be MAIA next time?

Make America important again??

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 week ago

Let me rub some shungite on my balls and maybe RFK will magically appear.
