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!

Yeah great they going ban the polio vaccine and return us to the 1950 like they been praising. Wtf.
Do they even realize the immense amount of human suffering this would cause if there's another polio outbreak?
Do they even care?
Yes, and yes, because it's the point.
No, my understanding is that he wants to ban all mandatory vaccinations (never mind that it's very easy to exempt your child from "mandatory vaccinations").
So we would be back to around the 1850s, I would think. Smallpox inoculation became common throughout the Civil War, so I guess it was some point before that when we didn't have any widespread vaccination.
His lawyer just asked the FDA to pull the polio vaccine so definitely wants it gone first. Guess Trump wants all future children crimpled and beholden to him.
Nah. They hate us disabled folk. We're not very productive workers or soldiers.
They want disabled kids born to drain their parents’ money in a desperate attempt to save the child. Then, when the disabled kid is old enough, they’ll put them in ‘care facilities’… I’m sure anyone who’s read up on the history of American asylums will know what those places will actually be.
As bad as that is, they are going to really, really fuck things up by meddling with mRNA technology. Brainworms is just bonkers.
