For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.

Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only

▪️ Title must match the article headline

▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)

▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.

Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication-No Fox News or equal), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.

Rule 4: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.

Rule 5: Be excellent to each other. Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, will be removed.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

Rule 7. No conjecture type posts (this could, might, may, etc.). Only factual. If the headline is wrong, clarify within the body. More info

MODERATORS
 

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said Tuesday that the Republican legislation speeding through the U.S. House of Representatives would cut household resources for the bottom 10% of Americans while delivering gains to the wealthiest in the form of tax breaks.

The CBO also said Tuesday that the Republican reconciliation package, which Trump has championed, would trigger automatic cuts to Medicare spending—reductions that the nonpartisan body did not factor into its distributional analysis.

The CBO's analysis also did not include the impact of a tentative deal to boost the cap on state and local tax deductions (SALT), a change that would primarily benefit wealthy households.

Water is wet, sky is blue, only the rich get their due.

Oh glob, don't start that argument about whether water is wet again.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It's astounding how many people are in denial of the fact that water is indeed wet by any logical definition.

It really is. And such a stupid fucking thing to try and be pedantic about

Wetting agents are commonly used to increase water's wetness for a reason.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Implying that it's already somewhat wet.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But not always the epitome of wet.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

The sky isn't the bluest thing, either, but like water, it's the most accessible.

Arm up friends.

About to be a lot more desperate people in this country.

all we need to do is get the poorest to sell their vital organs and they stop being problems.
