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!

Donald Trump appears poised to announce a two-year extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies, due to expire at the end of December, while setting new limits on who is eligible to receive the tax credits, according to reports.

Without an extension of Covid-19-era Obamacare subsidies, insurance premiums for nearly 22 million American citizens threaten to more than double early next year, a point made repeatedly by Democrats during the recent 43-day government shutdown, who refused to sign a stopgap spending bill that did not address the problem.

No shit? Then why did you say Democrats dumbass.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world -5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well, umm . . people jump at the chance to blame the Democrats for ending the shutdown, but they show a real lack of understanding about political communications and policy statements, especially when fuck you, cuntface.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You blamed the Democrats dipshit, not me. I've agreed it takes two, you straight up said it was the Dems fault.

Hedge away instead of saying you were wrong.

You're fun. How I have been enlightened.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You mean elucidated and it's fairly clear you haven't been.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world -3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

tsk tsk! You do yourself a disservice by denigrating the level of wisdom you have thus imparted!

Also feel free to shut the fuck up.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Enlightening is something you do yourself elucidation is education given to you. I didn't enlighten you, that's on you, I provided elucidation what you do from there could be enlightenment but given this conversation it clearly wasn't.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world -3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And here I was wondering if it was even humanly possible to be a bigger ass! I shouldn’t have. But then you might just be an assbot.

Either way, congratulations.

Keep digging im sure there's a bottom somewhere.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world -3 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Remember to shore those walls buddy.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world -3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I notice you’re still talking, but there’s really no need.

Keep trying those AI girlfriend things, maybe that’ll keep you occupied until your next bout of glossolalia.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How observant of you, though you do get that sword cuts both ways. Right?

So now I'm a man? Cool, thanks for the update stranger.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world -3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well, only if homosexuals don’t exist. But I gotta tell ya, I don’t go in for that kind of bigotry, okay?

I mean, not cool man. Not cool. Open your mind, okay. It’s not all about you.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Now I'm a homosexual? Goddamn I'm learning so much about myself. You don't go for that kind of bigotry but you jump directly to it when you feel slighted? Hate to tell you, you're bigot.

It's not all about me but the things you direct at me towards me certainly are, try harder bud. You find the bottom of that hole yet boss?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world -3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wow. Now it's my fault you can't imagine dating a woman. I've heard of self-hate but this is beyond that. Just accept who you are, ok? You don't have to lash out at everyone because you're hurting. Things do get better.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Maybe I'm not into women genius? Maybe I'm not into anyone, maybe you don't need to try to insult people via their sexuality when you're shitty argument fails and you're too fuckin dumb to just give up and move on.

You say you're not a bigot but you just can't stop saying super bigoted shit.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Shhhhh . . . shhhhhhh. It's gonna be okay.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Infantilizing?

Again you say you're not a bigot but every thing you keep trying to insult me with is bigoted. Maybe stop trying to insult strangers on the Internet and instead make a point worth standing up for with some amount of adult discourse.

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

No, no - you're the bigot. Try and keep up. Also, I have no idea why you decided this was how you wanted to spend your life but I didn't reply to you, you replied to me. This is the argument clinic, for adult discourse see next door.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, what did I say that was bigoted bud?

There aren't any doors just just an idiot who can't accept failure and instead defaults to insults based on sexuality.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Get what? At least be specific with your bullshit.

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

Whatever the last thing was you accused me of. Look if you can't follow your own conversation maybe you should consider a different one?

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ah, you can't even keep with with a conversation that's public and in writing?

Hoo boy life must be difficult for an barely literate bigot huh?

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

So are you one o’ them Macedonian trolls or just like a regular troll?

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Says trolly mc spews propaganda.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

So you just wander around insulting people for random reasons and never make any sense. Well, i guess i already said that.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Not randomly at all I called you a dipshit because you said something profoundly stupid and backtracked the next comment and insulted me. Stop crying.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Your argument is so shitty you abandoned it entirely, what's even the point? That you can be annoying, we all knew that no need to add bigotry.

So what's the plan here bud. Harass people until you think you've won and then what?
