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!

Georgia’s Republican governor praised Democratic President Joe Biden for reaching out to him in the wake of Hurricane Helene’s deadly devastation as the state and surrounding areas scramble to recover from the disaster.

Former President Donald Trump told a different story when he landed there to survey the damage.

“The governor’s doing a very good job. He’s having a hard time getting the president on the phone,” Trump told reporters. “The federal government is not being responsive.”

It wasn’t true.

Here’s what Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp had to say about Biden and the feds:

The president just called me yesterday afternoon. I missed him and called him right back and he just said, ‘Hey, what do you need?’ And I told him, ‘We got what we need. We’ll work through the federal process. He offered that if there’s other things we need just to call him directly, which I appreciate that,” Kemp said.

“We’ve had FEMA embedded with us since a day or two before the storm hit in our state operating center in Atlanta. We’ve got a great relationship with them,” he said.

I doubt it. I wouldn't take advice from others of your ilk. I find them too pretentious and unschooled.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There's little more pretentious than believing that simply because a person doesn't have some arbitrary amount of training, that they don't possess useful knowledge that you can learn from them.

As you continually make more and more clear, your strong suit seems to be projection.

You seem to confuse me with someone who cares what you think. I can assure you, I've joined the what must be the large group of people that really don't

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You sure do spend a lot of time trying to make me feel bad, for someone who supposedly doesn't care what I think.

In fact, by your own metric, the amount of times you've responded reveals strong feelings on the matter. Or do you not realize that that was an obvious projection?

[–] Rapidcreek 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

So now you complain that I respond to you? If you don't want a response why not stop? I'll tell you why. Because, in your world if you have the last say you win! A ridiculous notion but there you are. You now are angry that I don't Play your game. So sorry. And also sorry you feel "bad", but after all you did it to yourself.

So now you complain that I respond to you?

No, not at all. I'm quite enjoying this. It's very entertaining watching your flail around.

Because, in your world if you have the last say you win! A ridiculous notion but there you are.

You've, multiple times, tried to get me to stop posting, when all you've had to do was stop responding to me; this is your most obvious projection yet.

And also sorry you feel “bad”,

You've intentionally and directly insulted me numerous times. It's obvious you want me to feel bad. Why pretend it's not your goal?

[–] Rapidcreek 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh again you go into the barrel. This is taking boring to a new level. Let's see..

First we start with the classic "No, you stop" .. Old and never in the top 40. My simplest response, you first. Obviously you enjoy this stupidity, so it could go on for days

I didn't insult you. I told the truth and you took it as an insult. I don't want you to feel bad. I could care less how you feel. You are just an anonymous entity on a chat board.

Guess that's it for now

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

First we start with the classic “No, you stop”

No, please don't stop. It's hilarious how long you've gone while at the same time repeatedly stating how boring it. lol Who does that? Eventually I'll bore of watching this desperate attempt to win by getting the last word in, and then I'll just leave. This is how people who don't have to get the last word in act. But for now it's some good entertainment throughout the day.

Obviously you enjoy this stupidity, so it could go on for days

Well, you don't enjoy it, as you've repeatedly called it boring, and yet you seemingly can't just walk away. It's like you want to make it extremely obvious that your "you have to get the last word in!" is just a massive projection.

[–] Rapidcreek 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So now you are projecting. Pot meet kettle.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

is this the part where you both spend an hour going through each other's entire comment history and down vote every single thing?

[–] Rapidcreek 2 points 2 months ago

That sounds like something I don't care about as well.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I have votes turned off. Have they actually been downvoting me?
