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.

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.

What the fuck are we doing here. Seriously.
The dismantling of the public sector through privatization for profit. Like Argentina but with more racism.
Yes, I believe this is Musks main purpose.
when you're more racist than Argentina…
It's a fucking circus...
All the clowns are here.
Well you didn’t hold your politicians accountable for decades (if ever), so here you are. A joke of a leadership for a joke an electorate.
Hehehe let's do Tiger King for Dept. of Transportation next... /Beavis
You just reminded me of something that was very funny at the time

Limo and hair/makeup team waiting, but no freedom for the Tiger King.
Welcome to every day for at least 4 years
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Damn, I was really rooting for either Doctor Rockso (the rock and roll clown) or Dr. Suess.
Every time you think you're in the Bad Place you realize you're in the Worse Place
Oz has been a major supporter of Medicare Advantage, the program’s private sector alternative that has grown in popularity but has come under intense scrutiny for care denials and alleged overbilling.
Found the grift
Holy forking shirtballs!
Even Reddit's /r/conservative was trashing this one. Trump may have actually managed to have gone too far.
Anakin Skywalker for secretary of younglings next?
Hannibal lecter for the food and drug administration
I hope you don’t mean all the kids separated from their parents.
Is Trump just scrolling through the Behind the Bastards episode list?
checks sub name
...sigh
Please be The Onion, please be The Onion...
Dammit.
Obligatory FUCK OPRAH WINFREY.
As the saying goes...
You elect a clown... you get horrible nightmares then get dragged down into a sewer to live forever and ever and ever....

Or something like that.
A content management system admin? Painful.
He only picked him because he found out Gregory House didnt sexually harass real patients and coworkers. Had to go back to chopping block and find something else. So he found someone will allegations of performing experiments on live puppies, pigs, and such. Don't worry, they were just injecting them to cause cardiovascular issues to see what would happen during their studies.
Can someone point me to the comment yesterday someone said "trump picks dr oz to be surgeon general" or whatever it was? I need lotto numbers
That was me and I fucking hate it.
FWIW, I’m holding a huge amount of cash in my portfolio, waiting for trump to fuck shit up.
I hate this new season of the Apprentice: Washington, D.C.
Okay, now you're truly fucked.
So what the hell does CMS stand for? Shouldn't the article mention that?
It's detailed in the last line, but CMS is Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
As CMS Administrator, Oz would oversee a broad agency that provides coverage through Medicare, Medicaid and other programs to more than 160 million people.
Ok, I know he's full of crackpot shit.
But what does Mehmet(lol) Oz think of Medicare and Medicaid? What is his stance?
I get he's going to push crazy tabloid products on seniors, but... the actual, coverage part. Got a mom.
He's promoted unproven medical treatments for personal gain, opposed the Affordable Care Act, and supports the expansion of advantage plans aka privatized/subsidized medicare. Pretty mainline republican, but all this likely means more money out of your mom's pocket for care.
This is a fucking clown show.
Just be out Dr. Thunder, Dr. Seuss, and WebMD.
OH COME ON
"What do we have for him today, Johnny!?"
"It's,...
The Worst Outcome Imaginable!
again!?
I guess Dr Seuss isn't available
I'm not saying he wasn't without his problems, but Theodor Geisel was anti-fascist. I think that rules him out as a possible Trump appointment.
