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!

I'm surprised she didn't point out the bill for free school lunches he signed into law.

I mean, how dare he feed these freeloaders.

I love how Republicans always have American flags as props everywhere in the background while the free lunch signing doesn't have any. It's like they're always trying to assure you everything they're doing is patriotic even if it seems evil.

She looks like she's planning to kill and eat the children.

If we let all poor people starve to death, we dont have a problem with poor people anymore. And homelessness solves itself. Winning all around.

But then how can they be exploited for cheap/free labor so that the uberrich can afford their fourth mega yacht?

[–] SkyezOpen 4 points 3 months ago

Ban abortion, they'll have more kids to exploit.

[–] norimee 3 points 3 months ago

If they wouldn't be too lazy to work and pull themselves up by their bootstraps, work 3 to 5 full time jobs, they wouldn't have to starve.

Need at least some of them to starve to death, as a warning to the others so that they'll work harder

Is this what you want your tax money going to? Since billionaires and corporations have had their taxes all but eliminated by our party you're the one paying for guaranteed lunches to children of ~~parents laid off so a company has a better bottom line on their earnings and stock reports~~ lazy freeloading libruls whose jobs were taken away by illegal immigrants ~~hired by red-voting business owners~~

[–] norimee 17 points 3 months ago

And these imbeciles are always surprised when someone says "Yes, this is exactly what I want my tax money to go to."

Meals for children, schools, infrastructure, public transport, community centers and outreach. Not bailouts and subsidies for rich companies. That's what I want.
