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!

Jesus CHRIST.

Fuck this guy. Who the fuck does he even think he is? This makes my blood boil. 75 and up - kiss my ass.

I thank J.R. "Bob" Dobbs that I live in Colorado and they have sane people here taking extra steps to counter this absolute INSANITY. I can schedule a Covid shot at Safeway, and they don't even ask about those bullshit "preconditions" to get the shot under 65, so Bobby Brainworm can sit and spin.

Unfortunately even here in a sane blue state, with all the confusion this asshat has created, not all people here are aware they can get the shot, so I guess we'll have to see about any kind of herd immunity this season.

There was even a brief time where we needed a prescription. I was running an errand in Cheyenne a week ago and was almost going to get it done there while I was across state lines.

Thankfully, Colorado has cleared it up. I can even go through the scheduling on Safeway's platform and they don't have me checking some box that I have to worry about going to my insurance company later. Sure, I can just say I have some precondition on there like "lack of exercise" or "obese", but why risk that?

No one should have to fucking lie to get a vaccine that has been available for years and given to millions just because just enough people voted for a vindictive moron who put a conspiracy theorist in charge of our health.

If RFK jr liked heroin he’d probably love fentanyl.

Got mine, so fuck you worm brain.

I’m honestly a bit surprised someone hasn’t ventilated him yet

i mean this as strongly as i can say it: when will enough be enough until we forcibly act? the danger present in this statement is calculable based on all the covid deaths <74. we have the number to worry about. are you confident that one won't be yours this time around? i'm not. i don't want to take that fucking gamble, do you? this is being decided for us. your future life is being decided by a fascist administration. what the fuck are we doing?
