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!

Was it one of the idiots intentionally drinking raw unprocessed milk to make a point?
All the US cases and most cases worldwide are linked to people working closely with infected animals according to the article—no mention of raw milk.
It's like they're trying to start another pandemic just out of spite. All because someone told them not to...
They have to start a pandemic now so they can blame Biden for it and credit Trump for ending it.
Can you imagine something like human-to-human bird flu being "managed" by Ronald McDonald and his cronies?
He couldn't even do the very least thing right for Covid and that is far less dangerous. Instead, spreading nonsense about horse dewormer, bleach and sunlight...and early on, more concerned with "his" stock market numbers than anything else.
Human-to-human bird flu would be terrible under any circumstances; under Spanky it'd be far, far worse.
This erroneously assumes that practitioners of woo like raw milk drinking are all on the right. This is most certainly not true. And it's kind of weird to make it political.
It can only be a pandemic if there is a human to human transfer. Virologists say it isn't likely to mutate enough to do that. Still, if you can get it from a cow, will your pet dog be next?
