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!

After Jessie finishes talking about the evils of socialism as he collects his food stamps and unemployment benefits.
And drives on roads stops at stops signs to go to the VA to get his benefits and the stops by the post office to get his mom's Social security check.
:/
And sends his 12 children to public schools.
No, he "homeschools" his kids so they don't get brainwashed by the liberal trans gay agenda and start using a litterbox instead of a toilet. Because we all know using litterboxes is peak endgame liberal socialisms top priority after a good social safety net and universal healthcare. Disgusting perverts!

That dude was never active duty. He totally would have punched the drill instructor for getting in his face.
It's half that, it's half the idea that they're giving it to the coloreds and it's not fair that anyone might get something that they're not getting.
Like, handouts and welfare etc are good as long as they're getting it, and other tribes aren't. If the Others get it instead, then it's the worst thing ever.
Like when Floridians complain about the federal government sending disaster relief to other states.
Here's "famous" actor Craig T Nelson complaining about receiving government aid.

This is wonderful. I did spot this:
and eliminate some tax deductions for executive compensation.
Why the fuck do tax deductions for executive compensation exist in the first place?!?!
Companies have been allowed to treat pay as a business expense. Executive pay is pay, so they treat it as a cost of doing business.
meanwhile, the 2017 tax cuts and jobs act contained a provision that now prevents companies from deducting research and development, expenses, including software development.
I'm continually amazed by the fediverse, people can come over to butt heads about politics from porn site comment sections.
I love it.

It really shouldn't.
What they should do is reduce taxes on bonuses for middle and lower classes. The C-suits don't need the tax break.
Because neoliberals have built managed democracies in every wealthy country the world over, ensuring that every election is between a blue neoliberal and a red neoliberal.
How about getting Congress to stop trading in the stock market on their inside information
For fuck’s sake the head of the Fed was trading in the market he oversees— was caught doing it— and still remains in his position
