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!

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, a close ally of Trump, finds herself at odds with his administration after it denied her state's request for federal disaster aid following a series of deadly storms last month.

Trump has floated the idea of eliminating the Federal Emergency Management Agency and pushing states to potentially fend for themselves in the wake of natural disasters. He’s already denied disaster aid requests from Washington and North Carolina — states led by Democratic governors — and he suggested withholding aid from Democrat-led California unless it institutes a restrictive voter law.

But the denial of disaster aid to Arkansas, a state he won with 64% of the vote in last year’s presidential election, appears to offer fresh evidence that he intends to follow through on his efforts to gut FEMA — even if it potentially harms some of his fiercest supporters.

I despise this disgusting woman.

What's wrong, Sarah? Can't your state's child laborers take care of it?

Damn that's a nice lectern. How much does it cost, like $200?

[–] lemmylump@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

I believe it was around $20,000

[–] Wazowski@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago

Nah, you cunts can die.

She wears cowboy boots. Find them straps, Governor Chucklefuck.

[–] b3an@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago

Pull yourself up! That’s what you parrot to the other side! Fucking wankers.

[–] sndmn@lemmy.ca 10 points 11 hours ago

Sara huckleberry Sandwich can fuck all the way off.

[–] proper@lemmy.world 41 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

let this be a lesson to anyone that thinks he favors them or that they’ve earned some sort of credit with him.

"He's hurting the wrong people 😫"

[–] raltoid@lemmy.world 18 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

The real quote is worse:

He's not hurting the people he needs to be hurting

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Ah my bad, I was going from memory. Thanks for the correction.

[–] raltoid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

No worries, I just wanted to clarify. Because it demonstrates that it's not just that they're okay with people being hurt, they want people to be hurt.

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 41 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

a state he won with 64% of the vote in last year’s presidential election

64% of Arkansas voters deserve to absolutely, relentlessly, get fucked. Sucks for everyone else, though.

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 14 points 14 hours ago

Trump admin: best I can do is richer billionaires.

[–] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 8 points 13 hours ago

Sadly, they'll learn nothing. Guaranteed ads and fox news there are giving them a narrative that makes them vote against their interests harder.

[–] mysticpickle@lemmy.ca 12 points 15 hours ago

Arkansas and Huckabee can kindly get fukt.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 11 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Didn't think the leopards would eat HER face.

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 1 points 1 hour ago

I think they might pass on eating that face.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

but she will eat the leopards face.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

I don't think there's much she won't eat.

[–] Vorticity@lemmy.world 7 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I wonder if there is animosity between Trump and Huckabee Sanders. Maybe this is retribution for some slight? She did go more than 90 days without doing a press briefing before she stepped down as press secretary.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

there definitely was, as hes been ignoring her for the past 4 years, shes been trying to cheerlead for him.

"i dont know who this suckabee sanders is, sounds like bernie i dont like bernie because he makes look bad and not great"-TRUMP.

[–] mister_flibble@lemm.ee 2 points 5 hours ago

I could FULLY believe he's just incorrectly assumed she's Bernie's cousin or some shit. That seems precisely his brand of stupid.

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 7 points 14 hours ago

I don't normally comment on this kind of thing, but she aged in the last six years or so. She's younger than me but looks about 20 years older in that photo. Maybe it was all the chickens coming home to roost.

trump floats ideas like butts float turds. and this "lady" is the turd wrangler in cheif. the may have passed the camera time to little miss fugly, but she's still the pigggiest of them all. never trust someone who can't look you in the eyes (or is fine with dad strapping fido to the roof of the car).
