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!

I cannot wait until she gets thrown away like used toilet paper by Taco when she is found to be insufficiently "maga" (utterly meaningless fucking term, by the way).

Hey, if you’re not a fascist, change your face all you like.

Trying to look younger by defining the cheekbones and eyes more. She knows Trump and the rest of his cabinet won't respect a woman who looks like a woman.

Her eyes always seem to be darkened, hollowed out of any life and light.

This is so she can decide who gets help by who they vote for.

Is FEMA even a thing anymore? I thought they wanted states to take care of their own disaster aid...

Dictatorship.

How incomprehensibly long is this backlog of unaddressed matters going to be?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

Enough to make you scream but not enough for them to do the right thing.

As long as she fully reads each one and does not leave the office or go to sleep as long as there is any in the queue. I think scientists had some device to keep things awake so we could make something like that until she has went through them all. Just to make sure she is reading them she will have to justify each decision to a third party observer.
