So families are eligible for child support as soon as they're pregnant?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago

Republicans do not want to assist in any way in child support - that word is taboo!!

Hahahahahaha. Oh, goodness, no.

Can we charge lawmakers with homicide for trying to kill poor people?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Best we can do is 3 years for "mishandling a firearm" when a cop kills someone, followed by a swift pardon.

Next step is making vasectomies and tubal ligation illegal. Guess we need to stock up on pornography and masturbation tools.

This should be in politics.
I'm so tired of reading about American insanity, I unsubscribed from politics, is there a news page that does NOT contain American politics?

I feel for the victims, but only Americans can do something about it. And they never dealt with the "death penalty for walking on the street while black" problem.

i'm in america and i've had to intentionally avoid it for my mental health. and no, there aren't many places you can go to get away from it. i just drastically reduced my daily internetting time, but whenever i take a peek--yup, american bullshit front and center

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

I feel for you, trying to stay sane in that environment must be hard.

I get the sentiment, but politics and news are irrefutably intertwined.

I would argue this is a lot like people in France questioning why they should pay attention to Nazis invading Poland. Nearly all democratic nations are currently being subversively attacked by right winged political parties .

If people in your nation don't learn from the US's example, right winged parties will continue to grow in power.

Invading another country is not internal.

Do you think it's a coincidence that fascist parties all over Europe are gaining traction at the same time, running on the same platforms, and offering the same solutions?

They are going to use the same play book being utilized in America in your country, if you don't know the playbook you are going to have the same problems.

Yes absolutely, I already use that, but maybe I should just unsubscribe from breaking news like I did with Politics?
But I do want news from USA that have an international impact. Because USA remains a significant international player.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Unfortunately, yes. I wish I could avoid it but I’m in America, so I’m choosing to stay up to date and try to figure out what to do, but there will likely be an avalanche of breaking news from us for as long as tRump is god king president or whatever, or until he managed to squash any coverage of his wild shit.

Blessed be the fucking fruit i guess, eh?
