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!

And scream Biden flooded the state. Don't forget that. And, of course, his fanbase will believe him.
Floodocide Joe.
Agent of God, Joe Biden
Sure, instead of prevention all his buddies will get rich off the gummit. And all the MAGAts that survive will get maybe 1,000. To . . . Well hopefully not get cholera.

Him and Bavarian conservatives are truly one of a kind, saving on flood prevention (and hating drag queens reading books).
One of a kind, indeed. I wonder if there’s a specific name for that kind.
They are called "shills". When there is government action in Florida, there is usually campaign donations behind it.
Desantis champions stricter marijuana laws, because private prisons.
Book burning has the backing of religious groups.
It wouldn't surprise me if construction and home restoration companies are behind this move.
I was thinking of something with a little more - y’know - zazz. Something catchy with its own, like, logo.
Something that rhymes with Yahtzee, perhaps?
Could be, could be
Andi Scheuer standing next to Ron de Santis is the crossover I never knew I wanted.
Still don't, actually. Because I fucking hate it.
Seems like the program went down the drain.
This was his plan all along. How else is he gonna wring more money from the federal govt?
What an awful decision.
Good. Why wasting money on Florida anyway? There will be much less of it, anyway, due to global warming.
Yeah, better to spend it on lawyers to defend unconstitutional laws he signs.
