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!

Fuck you, you know people will lose their medicaid and this is what you say to deflect responsibility

[–] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 days ago

Some chose to do so when they elected Republicans, but many definitely did not.

"And we have determined THAT'S a lie..."

Legendary comic book writer Peter David dies after series of health issues at age 68

Family friend restarted GoFundMe to help raise money for medical expenses after he was rejected from Medicaid

It's a GOOD THING Lying is NOT against the Bible!

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

As if any of these chucklefucks care about their made up bullshit

[–] Soliae@lemm.ee 30 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Proper headline:

“Mike Johnson Lies to Citizens”

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

We could simplify that down to:

"Mike Johnson Speaks"

[–] nieminen@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

While shorter, and means the same, it's not as clear, or as impactful

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 25 points 2 days ago

so fucking full of shit. i hope the people who voted for this suffer the most

[–] ToadOfHypnosis@lemm.ee 19 points 2 days ago

You have to jump through so many hoops to get on and stay on Medicaid already. This is such a bunch of bullshit. Statements claiming armies of “able bodied people” milking the system without proof yet again.

[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago

If intellectual dishonesty caused severe abdominal pain, Mike Johnson would spend most of his waking hours curled up in fetal position.

“Or unless they’re poor…

Or brown….

Or an immigrant….

Or a woman….

Or old….

You know what, let’s make this easier. Medicaid for you if you’re an able-bodied, working, white dude (or Russian).”

[–] FoxyFerengi@lemm.ee 16 points 2 days ago

Does "able-bodied" include people with mental health disorders that have not been diagnosed with a physical disability? 80 hours a month is a lot, and the stress of trying to meet that will only exacerbate symptoms

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

When can we rip this fucker from limb to limb? It’s clear peace and voting aren’t going to solve this garbage

[–] TipRing@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Oh good, more fucking DARVO from our conservative psychopaths.

"Oh it's your fault we passed this bill to cut your benefits cause you deserved it."

Mike, PLEASE go watch some porn already and jerk one out. Maybe that'll clear the shit in your brains and the evil in your heart.

His son gets an alert on his phone and looks down in shame.

"Mike Johnson will not have his stupid face punched in unless he chooses not to move it out of the way of my fist."

[–] ZombieMantis@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Mike Johnson will not lose his head in the guillotine, unless he chooses to do so.
