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 mean what the fuck, the world literally just had the hottest month in 120k years. Half the world’s on fire, the other half is in a drought. When does the bullshit end around Climate Change??
In the United States after the boomers die off we will no longer have that barrier to making climate change a major part of our future. Gen X, Millenials, and Zoomers are all on board for that.
It's unfortunate they won't die off sooner so we can actively get to work on fixing their mess. We don't have the time though
Right? I wish COVID had been just a little bit worse.
For the good of literally everything, they need to die way, way faster / sooner.
Yes, this includes people I know. Yeah, it'd be (kinda) sad. But it'd be better for all.
I knew a Trumper that died of covid. He was a fat angry fuck. Never went to college. Barely finished highschool. Worked around caustic chemicals his entire life. Smoke since he was young.
Denied COVID, not vaccinated, hated Fauci.
Now dead as fuck.
Sucks to see his family suffer his loss, but we lost him years ago. He was no longer the person I once knew.
Ban air conditioning in old folks home, problem solves itself.
Problem is though, we might not have time enough to wait for that to happen
Twenty years ago I was saying the same thing. Things have got worse. I hope you're right this time.
Boomers are still in charge unfortunately
Well,it looks like the older ones are starting to drop, or at least freeze up and reboot in public. The assholes in congress who are taking the dark money to push this agenda, like McConnell, are getting old and struggling to even show up in any functional capacity. Half of them are just sock puppets for the congressional aids and handlers to do with as they please.
The people putting forth these suggestions never really leave their airconditioned place of work, cars, homes, and rarely hotels or vacation homes. They are usually unaffected by floods, tornadoes, storms, fires, etc.
And republicans live by the creed that if it's not directly impacting themselves it is either not real, or if it is, it's not that serious.
When we grab pitch forks and torches.
~~Torches~~ rechargable led flashlights.
if you design it right a torch is renewable. pine boughs and cotton soaked in pine sap
