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!

California doesnt deserve federal funds to aid in a natural disaster?? Then I dont wanna see SHIT the next time florida goes underwater or texas gets snowed in. Deal with it yourselves or change your ways. 🤷
I was looking for this comment. Like literally twice in recent history, Texas has had major issues with power and freezing temps. “Must be all those iced up windmills” they’d have you think. Then they turn around and ask for help and aid while their governor decides Cancun MEXICO (the ‘evil’ border facilitator to the south) is better digs than his own shitty froze over home, saying fuck everyone else in the state, I’ll take those tax dollars on a plane and peace out.
You know what then Texas, Florida, ALABAMA. 🤬 off, the next time you need disaster aid. Because, you DONT DESERVE IT, UNLESS YOU CHANGE YOUR WAYS, TUBERTUCK!
Jesus Christ. I’m so sick of this game. Like is it lack of education? Lead in the pipes? I’m… I cannot wrap my head around this preposterous stance. There is a REASON we traditionally do not make disasters a PARTISAN ISSUE. 🤦♂️
After everything, Trump, blah blah. Just. How the fuck did we get here??
Sorry person I replied to. I just had to get all that out. Otherwise I feel like I’m waiting for the dream to end. To wake up in normalcy.
