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!

A 3-year-old child died on Thursday aboard a bus of asylum seekers that was headed to Chicago, the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) confirmed in a statement Friday.

An investigation is underway to determine the circumstances behind the death.

“IDPH is working with local health officials, state police, and federal authorities to the fullest extent possible to get answers in this tragic situation,” read the statement released by the department. The spokesperson did not respond directly to questions on the cause of death or any related details.

Since last year, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) has bussed some 12,000 migrants to Chicago, as well California and other liberal enclaves.

Greg Abbott murders children

[–] FlyingSquid 30 points 1 year ago

That's a feature, not a bug.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

Someone should report him for this post birth abortion.

[–] Burn_The_Right 55 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Guys! Calm down! It's OK. He's a conservative. He's allowed to kill whoever he wants.

As long as it's after birth

[–] Crashumbc 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And they're not rich white males...

[–] saltesc 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or poor white males like Jesus. Meth heads are fine.

[–] FlyingSquid 1 points 1 year ago

Jesus wasn't white. One of the many reasons why they would kill him.

[–] BassTurd 2 points 1 year ago

Unless who he wants to kill isn't born yet. Let's not be obtuse.

[–] TwoGems 1 points 1 year ago

According to Garland's DOJ, apparently that's true.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No-one will mourn when Abbott dies.

[–] Manifish_Destiny 19 points 1 year ago

I'll have a new place to piss. Thatcher's grave is starting to stink.

[–] atticus88th 1 points 1 year ago

Wheel chair manufacturers might. The bro has a new one every time he shows up on the news.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Can someone please explain how this is still happening and they haven't at least stopped Greg Abbott from kidnapping any more people?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

If you're a corporation or government official, it's ok to murder people.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Because the US aren't a democracy and the rule of law doesn't mean anything.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Because the people in charge agree with him.

Are you actually surprised that Greg Abbot is killing brown children?
