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!

THIS IS LITERALLY WHAT REPUBLICANS SAY. WHAT THEY THINK. THEY DON'T EVEN TRY TO HIDE IT. THIS IS A ACTUAL TALKING POINT
She literally said there's too many obese kids, so we shouldn't feed them with welfare.
Kids are too fat. Don't feed them ever again.
If you prune their roots and little branches then you can keep them small. Also using wire to shape them can create a more interesting character.
I’m pretty sure that’s how it works.
I forgot to water my bonsai and someone called CPS. Fortunately, Iowa stopped funding that department too.
That’s how Mickey Mouse was born, he doesn’t like to talk about it so be nice.
GOP presents: ~~intermittent~~ fasting
And some kids are fat because they go through periods of eating nothing but junk food to period of food insecurity, so they still aren't getting enough to eat and they live in a food desert.
Some kids are too fat. Therefore starving kids should just starve.
Kids ARE fat because the poor feed their families the cheapest foods available which are high carb foods that make them crave even more high carb foods.
Yeah! If you don’t have enough money to support a child, just abo- wait…
