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!

I really, really do not think that the politicians in the federal government realize how little power they have without the approval of the populace of Hamburgerland (what I call the USA because of the subsidies given out to the meat industry so that Americans have cheap, and horrifically (for the cattle) mass produced beef (and other meat as well) for the populace. There was a saying in Rome about bread and circuses for the masses(1). The Democratic and Republican political parties have a duopoly on power, and have had it for a long time, because the American constitution was written by dudes that didn't have the telegraph. Let alone planes, the internet, nuclear weapons, or space travel.
If you are a US federal politician, or a politician in ANY American state that reads this... Again. Bed bugs. Prison. Eating you. (2) Not cruel and unusual, because it was allowed to happen. And many other horrific treatment of American prisoners. Which I will add, the United States of America has the highest per capita prisoner to citizen ratio of any country in the world. BECAUSE. Slavery didn't end after the civil war. If you read the 13th amendment... it does say if you're in prison you can be enslaved pretty much. Which, interestingly enough, Joe Biden authored the war on drugs crime bill. Which put a lot of innocent good people in prison, and created an international criminal drug market, that the CIA profits off of greatly. As well as other... actors.
If you look at the Scandinavian prison system and how they treat the drug trade (which it is a massive industry), well. They have the lowest addiction rates in the world. Soooo yeah. Go fuck yourself if you are actively propagating this system. I am willing to uh die for my beliefs, because I, Hugh Williams, from Salt Lake City Utah, have far far far more strategic leverage then you do. And I don't give a flying fuck if I die painfully at this point. I'm done with your inefficient bullshit. My philosophy is summed down to economic efficiency, and praying, PRAYING that humanity has a prosperous future, and doesn't go extinct. I have seen WAY WAY WAY more shit than you ever will when it comes to suffering. So yeah. Get your act together. Or well... the law won't protect you for long.
Have you ever heard of Persian Honey Tombs? Metal box, with slots for arms and legs. Drip fed water/milk. Honey poured on your body as well as milk. Between a forest and desert. Left there for the bugs to feast. Mother nature sure is a vengeful bitch isn't she :| (kagi (search, or google for most folks, Kagi is the highest quality search engine on the market for like 5$ a month) poker face meme you boomer ass, dumb bitches.)
