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.

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.

If it starts to pandemic, I will call it the Trump flu.
Experts?!? Who does he have in the driver's seat again?
Oh yeah that's right - no one.
There are no adults left in the room folks, it's gonna get messy.
Learn ways to make rice and beans as tasty as possible, this is either gonna be over soon or it's gonna be a very long ride
Rice and beans are tasty! Anything other than salt and maybe some pepper is fucking gourmet.
I'm not trying to say that you're wrong. I'm just saying that there's already enough horrible shit to worry about without underestimating the simple pleasure of rice and beans.
Side note: onions and garlic will grow just about anywhere. Throw some of that shit somewhere in your rice and beans and you've got a fucking party in your mouth.
I've been working on growing onions and they take forever. That garden space would have been better off growing something else
What type of onions? I've only grown green onions, which you can grow indoors in a plastic cup with water and a paper towel at the bottom as long as it's near a window with unobstructed sunlight.
Oh yeah green onions are a different story. They're easy.
I'm growing yellow and red onions, the typical bulbs.
The best way for the birds to gain immunity is to catch bird flu, so RFK is just helping the immunity be gained even faster. Plus, who wants eggs from autistic birds
I saw a headline today that rfk LITERALLY SAID they should just let them all get bird flu and we breed the ones that survive for their immunity
There is no biological difference between innate and acquired immunity, right? Right?
They should let RFK get bird flu.
Are brain worms able to contract it?
The early bird flu catches the worm
You joke, but... sigh...
If we pretend it's not there, it'll go away, right? Isn't that how this works?
It's hard to fight the government if your sick.
And hungry because you can't buy chicken...
