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!

Who wants to be really fucking angry? I know something that will make any decent human being unreasonably angry. You know the 2 trillion Elongated bent Musky Penis intends to cut from medicare/medicaid/social security? Oh, you do? Good. If you know a group of disabled people living together, and maybe one died, or left to a more specific group home of sorts that caters to their disability, Elon the immigrant, considers the continued Citizen residents that now have an extra room, as committing fraud against whatever service is paying. According to Muskrat, if your old and or disabled, or young and disabled, generally just disabled at all, and your roommate dies, you are expected to move your entire life to a smaller area because it is fraud to continue living where you were living. This is the "fraud" they are going after. That, or does your aunt on medicaid sometimes have an extra pill or 2 left over, they want that reduced to none. No emergency pill, no "in case you drop one and can't find it you old blind bat, here's extra's" this is the "fraud" they were referring to. Now that violence has been threatened by more than just Lil ol me, they can't use it, they can't sacrifice the weak like Ronald Mcdonald Reagan did. So they are going to have no where near 2 trillion to cut, unless we see an uptick in homeless and refugees in our own country.
