The Biden administration announced a new rule Friday expanding safeguards against potential discrimination of gay and transgender Americans seeking medical care, in a reversal of Trump-era limitations that nixed federal health protections for members of the LGBTQ+ community.

    Nah. I think it’s super convenient timing. This should’ve been one of the first things he did after winning the election. I think it’s bullshit he pulled this out during election season, obviously in an attempt to win voters over.

      @p5yk0t1km1r4ge @elbarto777 Yea, so let’s all vote instead for the candidate who removed the protections of gay and transgender Americans in the first place!

        Whoa there buddy who said I was voting for THAT administration? It’s crazy, I know, but it’s possible to be critical of someone who has your vote, just an fyi.

            So criticism of Joe Biden makes me a “Russian agent”? Ah, ok. That’s actually really sad. You guys need to get help if normal critique equals “Russian agent”. It’s crazy, I actually voted Biden and will be voting for him again. You are what’s wrong with this country, folks. How very MAGA of you.

            Howabout the guy who keeps telling me to “shut the fuck up”? Or is that civil because it’s towards someone who dares criticize Joe Biden?

              We don’t police every comment, just the ones that get reported.

              But on the surface, someone telling you to shut up isn’t the same thing as someone throwing insults.

              Edit Found it, it wasn’t just you. Removed and temp banned them.

                So if i looked at you and said that, it’d be fine?

                  As a one off? Probably would be fine, in this case, the guy was on a tear and needed a time out.

                  Directing an insult straight at someone? That’s out of line and gets removed (“Shut up you fucking donkey!”). Indirectly, also out of line, (“What are you, a fucking donkey?”).

                  A simple STFU? Not as big a deal, but like I say, in THIS guys case? Repeated, at multiple people, with no other value to the comment? Yeah, no.

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

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!
