    Cities are net contributers to the federal budget. It’s people in the burbs getting the subsidies.

    I know someone who just drove from LA to Atlanta, taking pictures of his happy trip from state to state and sharing them online. But nothing from Alabama. When asked he said, “Less spoken of Alabama, the better.”

    The most government assistance dependent folks I know are inbred white yokels in the far flung rural parts of this country. They rely on public assistance to raise giant families of barely literate racists and vote for Republicans. They are all homeowners with RVs, hunting camps, and side by sides. I’ve worked my entire adult life and there’s no way in hell I could afford any of that.

    What job has he ever had that wasn’t funded by taxpayers? He was a football coach at public colleges and is now a Senator. And he lost to Vanderbilt.

    Hmm, Alabama… Lets have a look at State contributions to the budget.

    Looks like actually Alabama is a rat living on other states’ taxpayers!

      Literal Nazis were members of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party.

      These people are just Nazis.

    All the inner-city rats I’ve seen live off discarded food scraps. How the hell is a rat gonna use human money, anyway?

      I think you’re a little confused, rats are actually pretty smart. Given a little training, they could probably utilize currency.

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!
