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!

work till you die. WHILE you die.
Give us all your money, too. It's not like you're gonna need it after you die. Which we'll make sure you do.
well then mitch mcconnell better get the fuck back to work
Oh, no, they don't mean THEM.
He is hard a work right now from his hospital resting place, but no you can't have any evidence because it's classified.
Cruelty is the point.
That's Entertainment!
Does this mean Mitch McConnell isn't exempt from work requirements too?
They don't even need to prove he is alive to keep getting paid.
They're rebuilding him: faster, louder, more right wing. Mecha-Mitch 1700. Runs on orphan blood.
Don’t be silly.
Oh look. Further evidence we're all fucking slaves. Time to eat some fat fucks face off.
What the fuck is judges rational for denying this? I hope fucking judge gets fucking terminal ass cancer and force to work.
He's MAGA, and he hates American citizens.
Remember: the cruelty is the point.
Of course. They would much rather see poor people with expensive needs die off. Your life has no value to these fascist ghouls. Not unless they can extract something of value from you.
The whole idea of a work requirement for medicaid is insane. You can't mooch off healthcare to support yourself, it isn't a replacement for income. If anything, this will only cause more people to become unable to work because they lose access to the care that helps keep them in the workforce.
It's completely backwards. They want you to be outraged because some poor person might get government funded healthcare without having a job. The real outrage is that employers can pay workers a low enough wage that they need government assistance to make up the difference.
Trump is literally devaluing US American lives in real dollars to then funnel that the money from the citizens into his pocket.
Not a complicated con. But somehow impossible to stop ?
because nearly dead patients need to be self- reliant, & use their bootstraps to glorify the great god Orangutan Cheetoh whilst they breathe their final breath, in Jesus Christ’s name, amen!!!
Well yeah. If they're all used up, and my company can't extract any more value, why are your tax dollars keeping the unmployed alive?
they people need to be made an example of, put in their own worst hell.
The cruelty is the point
Always a pleasure when they add a fuck you to struggling people in the bills cutting taxes for billionaires.
Just in case you didn’t know where you stand in the active class war being waged against you every single day.
I'm sorry, work where, exactly?
Sometimes I hope hell is a real place.
It is! Living in Gaza sounds hellish. Unfortunately the people that made this decision live somewhere close to heaven.
Can someone please give a second solution to everything that's going on?
Where is the second solution?
