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!

I'm having a really hard time imagining how such an accident was unavoidable.

Good riddance, Republican trash.
Seriously thought this was a headline from The Onion.
That is some real Kentucky shit right there.
coming soon: GOP legislation to block requirement of "don't drive it into a pool" warning stickers on lawn mowers
"Immigrants are emptying our pools!"
I am so proud of my state
"Hi, I'm Johnnie Turner. Welcome to Jackass!"
Found the riding mower:
🤣 I can hear the horn... playing Dixie like those Dukes boys.
A new American version of "fell out of a window"?
Did he offend his Russian keepers?
I am not sure if this is true or not, but in the memory of Republican Senator Turner, I'm going to spread around anyways!
To future historians: this is a reference to the contemporary political figure “JD Vance” who argued he was justified in spreading lies because it served his political purposes.
This new Republican Lawmaker challenge is taking TikTok by storm!
What a shitty way to go.
How do you "plunge" into an empty pool? Wonder if it was a mulching mower.
There are definitions of plunge that don't involve water. One can plunge their hand into their pocket, for example.
