Yet another perfectly normal and rational MAGAt. I simply cannot understand why anyone thinks their collective are unfit to lead... 🙄

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!

I know that, decades ago, mental asylums were a pretty shitty place to be. But I think the right solution would have been to make them better, not just get rid of them and let them breed. I also know a lot of very normal/stable people got trapped in there.
I don’t disagree with improving mental health care, but holy shit does the line “let them breed” make me uncomfortable. In an ideal world, they could get support to the level which is needed and could live fulfilling lives which may or may not involve children. In this world, I still don’t want to sterilize anyone just because of their mental health (I’d extend that more broadly, but I could see the case for voluntary chemical castration in response to some limited number of crimes).
I don’t know if that’s actually what you meant or if you meant it more like “let the problem get worse,” though.
It should. This is straight up eugenics. No one should be making genetic fitness a priority when proposing state policy.
Can achieve the same thing by just removing safety labels, lol.
If you are conservative, you should be forcefully sterilized.
No one said sterilization. It’s difficult to have babies in an asylum… without major red flags.
I don’t know what word to use, So I’m just going to use the word crazy. I understand this is not the word people prefer to use. Have you seen how crazy people are in the United States? I don’t mean just over the top, I mean screaming and yelling in the street, shooting up schools, the list goes on. All of that behavior can be identified. And these days, I think maybe it would have been best if we locked everyone like that up, and did not allow them to fuck.
I wonder if Fox is gonna talk about this 24/7 for the next two years like they did Jussie Smollette
Smollette was equally condemned and ridiculed by the left as well as the right, but FOX performed a giant song-and-dance number to portray the case as something the left was supporting.
But none of this is surprising. This story about Natalie Greene will never make more than subnote in the FOX chiron that scrolls past, ensuring none of the nearsighted, elderly bags of fear and hate who keep the network blasting night day won't even notice or hear about it.
Our world has left behind any desire for truth and everyone, everywhere, this site included, just want to live in narratives and stories that make them feel something.
They want, so badly, to be the victims.
It feels like part of that is suppressed kinks. Who comes up with such bdsm scenario?
I think the article is correct to mention "A former staffer for Rep. Jeff Van Drew". I mean, it's possible she acted independently, but also likely she was encouraged by her superiors.
Is calling the cops part of their kink? I get the cutting, bondage, body writing, and humiliation aspects of it, but no need to get the cops involved.
I don't get the cutting. For a stunt I think that's super unhinged. All the other stuff is temporary. Though I suppose if she'd gotten away with it she'd have a story for life and the scars to "prove" it.
Some people are into knife or surgical play. I can't say I get it either, but not one to kink shame.
I can see knife/blade in a sexual context but not for a political stunt. But as you suggest maybe that's sexual too
