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!

Donald Trump appears poised to announce a two-year extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies, due to expire at the end of December, while setting new limits on who is eligible to receive the tax credits, according to reports.

Without an extension of Covid-19-era Obamacare subsidies, insurance premiums for nearly 22 million American citizens threaten to more than double early next year, a point made repeatedly by Democrats during the recent 43-day government shutdown, who refused to sign a stopgap spending bill that did not address the problem.

Your argument is so shitty you abandoned it entirely, what's even the point? That you can be annoying, we all knew that no need to add bigotry.

So what's the plan here bud. Harass people until you think you've won and then what?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Wait, what are you so pissy about again? I forget.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

You forgot what you're harassing me about but didn't forget to harass me after a day. Fat chance, let's add liar to the list. So that's troll, bigot, moron and liar.

How's that hole going again? Hit bottom yet or are you expecting me to report you or something?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

So what’s with you pretending to be the most thoroughly unpleasant person in the world? You sound like an affliction.

Feel free to answer the prior question though, or just wind yourself into ever more twisted shapes for ??? reasons.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Yes I'm unpleasant, uh huh. Remind me again who decided to stay with their bullshit again after two days?

Oh yeah, that's you.

Who decided to start out again with insults. Oh yeah that's you.

Get a job, get a life, get fucked. Most importantly take the fuckin hint and leave me alone you goddamn crybaby.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

You fucking . . . - YOU replied to ME.

Furthermore, YOU KEEP replying to me.

And you keep making up fantastic reasons to be horrified.

Seriously, when I try to engage with you, you go nuts. When I deliberately wind you up you demand “adult discourse.” What the fuck meds are you not taking and can you please take them? And then STOP replying? kthx. (I know, I know you can’t NOT reply. You have to.)

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

Yeah because you were lying, we went over this.

Absolutely, your power of observation didn't fail you there.

How so, you called me a bigot but can't actually say why.

Adult discourse would be along the lines of "sorry I was spreading batshit crazy easily disproved propaganda, my bad." Instead of 30 + messages of personal attacks whole completely abandoning your point.

Grow up, get a job, get a live, go away.

As an aside, you know implying that I've not taken medicine is just medical based bigotry especially if you have no reason to believe I should be taking anything. Though it seems you said it to imply I was crazy which again is bigoted.

Could you I dunno, stop being a bigoted little shit?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 36 minutes ago (1 children)

Fuck off. Lying about what? (You will not answer.) Bigoted about what? (You will not answer.) Spreading what propaganda? (Not only no answer, just more crazed insults.)

Grow up? Fuck. What are you, in your 20’s? Barely? Personal attacks? You goddamned moron, you wanna count them? If we’re even close to even I’ll be surprised. But I’ll spot you two: you’re an idiot and a lunatic.

No reason to believe you should be taking anything? I’ve been reading the reasons for days. Please shut the fuck up, or at least fixate on some other poor asshole.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 15 minutes ago

Just reread the messages of you haven't gotten that point yet.

I'm well into my 40s but I do love an attempt at a backhanded comment. You might want to count them yourself before you make that challenge.

Oh yeah? But you can't remember what your upset about. Good job being wouldn't inconsistent in your bullshit.

I'm fixating on you? Dude there weren't comments for two days and then you decided to harass me again. At least be honest if you're going to be an idiot.
