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!

[read in the tone of a comic book]. Once upon a time, RFK jr was a normal government bootlicker. Then one day he was bitten by a radioactive donald and became SUPER SPREADER!!! A masked hero fighing against common sense medicine and validatable science.

There is a minimum required amount of bronzer you're required to apply to be accepted into the MAGA leadership. See also the transformation Ron DeSantis pulled.

Welcome to MAGA, here's your starter kit which includes a 1-month supply of bonzer, coupons valid to purchase food a McDonald's and a scalpel to remove any empathy you may still have in you.

I still love seeing that pic of him with the fast food.

Someone needs to put that together with the theme music from Curb Your Enthusiasm...like they did with Christie:

Maybe bronzer is the baptismal water that high-level cult members must be submerged in, before they can be confirmed?

I though it was like the transitions glass effect where a silver crystal darkens in light or becomes transparent in dark.... Or maybe the guy is Mexican American like me? A little brown never hurt nobody I'd say. Lol. I hope the guy gets long ass covid. If I got long covid, I would get a "my pillow", so he probably needs one lol.
