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!

Fuck paywalls.
Also, fuck those governors.
I live in South Dakota. Kristi Noem is an absolute ghoul.
My understanding is that she’s on the shortlist to be Trump’s running-mate.
Doesn't surprise me.
She's so awful that she's literally blacklisted from setting foot on the Pine Ridge Reservation.
I live in Texas, where our governor recently pined for shooting migrants at the border. I feel you.
Unfortunately I’m in Texas too. Can’t wait to get the hell outta here, probably close to a year and a half and we can leave, wife wants to wait til youngest is 18 and on his own.
Hope we live that long. Stay warm.
Yep. I actually have a discord buddy in Texas, and we talk about these things a lot. I empathize.
Isn't she the "good Christian wife" (of someone else) who spent years secretly knocking boots with that asshole from the Trump campaign, Corey Lewandowski (also married to someone else)?
She's also apparently a mother of three, which is hilarious in its own way because Republican school book bans are such that her kids could know all about Mommy's Special Friend from the news and possibly her own behavior, but they would be irreparably harmed by reading a library book about it and that must NEVER happen.
Vermont??
Oh they elected trash as a governor. Mind blown.
So weird how Vermont has a Republican governor and Kansas and Kentucky have Democrat ones.
Especially since Vermont is one of the most liberal and progressive states in the entire country.
Surprised my state (TN) isn’t on the list. Our government is almost as shitty as Florida’s.
