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!

MODERATORS
they are going to ban transatlantic flights next.
Then they come for the trans-portation, and trans-ition of power.
Try to find a transistor radio in the White House. You can't.
And trans-fats
The vast majority of "hormone blockers" are prescribed for non-gender affirming care. It's used across medicine for a plethora of things like moderating growth plate fusion in pediatric orthopedics, or slowing down breast cancer.
This is why it should be illegal for legislators to be involved in any form of medical care, they're just complete illiterate morons on the subject.
Republicans can't read. This was about "transgenic" mice, not "transgender". Looks like three-syllable-words are to hard for the conservative brain.
This is so stupid, it'd be hard to make up. Confusing transgenic with transgender. Holy shit. But probably par for the course for the guy who has trouble differentiating mental asylums and political asylum
This is an old trick politicians use in regards to science. Strip the context out and make it sound ridiculous.
They did it while the mice were at school too. Didn't even contact their parents or anything. The mice school nurse just ran around kidnapping all those poor mice students and making them transgender!
I couldn’t help but laugh out loud when he brought up the kid with cancer during his speech. The dumbass is literally cutting cancer research funding. Way to use that kid as a prop to pretend he cares in any way…
Very on-brand for these idiotic transphobes.
I wondered what he was on about
He stood on stage with gobs of horse shit flying from his mouth at record pace and media outlets are like "based on the smell of this shit, we think this is where it came from".
I wondered what he smoked and where would I be able to get some.
