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!

This man has declared bankruptcy FOUR TIMES. He has been under investigation for the past two years because he used campaign donations to pay off personal debt, among other things.
He shouldn't be anywhere near running a state or in charge of any budget, near a budget, or even be allowed to see a budget.
He has also praised Hitler on social media.
Oh, and he misspelled the word 'leach' (leech) in his post because WHY WOULD WE NEED PEOPLE RUNNING THE GOVERNMENT WHO CAN ACTUALLY SPELL SIMPLE FUCKING WORDS like a third grader could.
What always blows my mind the most is how these people see no issue with filing for bankruptcy (sometimes multiple times), but are against "handouts" like social security and unemployment that people pay into and are earned benefits. The same people that grumbled about "nobody wants to work", but then stole thousands of dollars in COVID relief money they had no right to.
Fucking what???
Yes, one of his GOP opponents is running ads right now in North Carolina pointing this out.
Huh, I could see a Democrat opponent successfully pointing that shit out in the general election, but in the GOP primary that would probably make more people vote for Robinson.
Sounds like a guy Trump would like.
Or at least someone he'd pretend to like as much as he's ever pretended to like someone who is not white.
Sounds like a fine US Conservative political candidate!
I can forgive minor spelling mistakes. It's easy enough to misplace a finger while typing. That doesn't mean they think it's spelled that way. But everything else you pointed out is more than bad enough.
I would forgive it, if he didn't misspell words in everything he posts and wasn't running for Governor of a U.S. state. None of the other candidates misspell words in their posts, ever.
FYI, the leach is the trailing edge of a sail. Not that I think he knows that, but maybe his spellcheck does. Doesn’t excuse the rest….
