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!

And not because it's morally fucking reprehensible in following the teaching of Christ but because he might lose an election.

"Oh, I'll vote for it, but I'll pretend to feel bad about it for a couple minutes"

Little late now you heartless ghoul to give a shit about your constituency starving.

Sounds like someone is afraid of West Virginia's citizens remembering their history and dragging him into the street

Why does He care? It's not like Republicans will NOT Vote for Him AGAIN! They LITERALLY voted for him KNOWING this would Happen!

[–] AdamEatsAss@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They didn't know this would happen. They only thought it would happen to someone else.

Hopefully you get to eat some cake (ass) today on your cake day! :)

Making the poor, poorer, that's Republicans core value.

Oh, it's not The Onion.

But he will vote for it anyway.

Oh little buddy, it’s too late now. You’ve made your bed with Nazis, and it’s full of piss and shit, but now you have to lie in it.

If you’re not rich or powerful enough to float to the top – and you’re not – you’re going to have to deal with the Nazi filth. Too bad absolutely nobody warned you. Oh well.

"If we don't watch out, people are going to get hurt, people are going to be upset. It's going to be the No. 1 thing on the nightly news all over the place," Justice, who served as West Virginia's governor for eight years before winning his Senate seat last year, told Politico.

Because, apparently, no one of any value has been hurt yet. He never figured it out, there’s just a personal consequence now. He looks old as shit, I hope hell claws him under the earth soon and cooks him for eternity.

Does the bill still have that clause that says judges are no longer allowed to try to limit the executive branch? Because that's the clause we should be campaigning against.

It’s really surprising that it’s Jim Justice of all people. The man is known as something of a scalawag even before the Trump years.

Babydog's getting through, maybe.
