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!

To consider this as an intentional "process" a person has to have zero empathy.
It's also robbing Peter to pay Paul. You fire me for no real reason? Fine, now I'm drawing unemployment from the state and the company (which in this case, is the federal government), for not working. Now you've hired me back after 6-12 months, but you've also destroyed the infrastructure which allowed me to do my job, and you've jaded the shit out of me, so AT ABSOLUTE FUCKING BEST, you've hired me back to do 50% of what I was doing before, for the same pay, if not more. Plus you used tax money to pay me unemployment after you fired me.
It's literally a business decision that would only be made in a world where 'fuck it, it's not MY money being wasted, let's just see what happens'
And it was ALL OF OUR MONEY being pissed away, when the people making the decisions have more than enough money to perform their dipshit experiment on their own dime.
There is no way forward without about 20-40k public executions, and the seizure of trillions in assets. Dropping nukes on Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and qatar should also be absolutely on the table.
If anything. Pivot hard to Iran and India, whole simultaneously doubling down on NATO and Ukraine, to the point where they don't need Russia, use them to neutralize their neighbors while continuing to destroy Russia economically, then deploy US troops to Ukraine and Gaza. Then we do what America always does we install our own puppet governments and take anything of value, while ensuring the trade partnerships enacted are beneficial for us and the puppet governments. That's how you f****** tip the scales
It’s a little unnerving for you to make a fair bit of sense, and then to see this little tidbit of insanity slip in there. Disregarding the call for institutional public execution, I would like to formally object to your plan for nuclear war with the Middle East, please.
Sooo many people just want to see somebody bleed. It's like in that one My Chemical Romance song.
I mean, they also blatantly want to use the n-word so I wouldn’t put too much faith in their reasoning skills.
Edit: Odd, the username is showing as the same in my app, but different when I follow the link in my browser:
Maybe a weird federation thing, since the original comment was removed by a mod (and apparently they were banned from the community entirely).
I don’t know why, but somehow this feels worse than the nuclear war.
