Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Ok, link me to the bill. Because every outlet I have seen says the opposite.
You are being misled by sensationalized media. Bills are not hard to track down.
Then feel free to track it down and show it to me. You made the claim. It's not my job to research it for you.
read the fucking article that's being linked lol
The article that doesn't link to the actual text of the bill? I did. I clicked on the link in the article. It doesn't show the bill's text. I'm starting to think you didn't actually read it yourself or you would link to it.
Doesn't ban drag shows.
That's not the text of the bill. Please show the text of the bill. You said it was easy to find.
Go on google, type Senate Bill 12 texas, and click the first link
If it's that easy, you can paste the URL. Again, it's not my job to do your research for you.
But then it's pretty obvious you haven't actually read the bill yourself despite telling me to.
You got something wrong with you. Don't spend so much time on the internet being annoying like this, it's not good for you.
Insulting me doesn't change the fact that you clearly didn't read it yourself despite telling me to.
I did read it. You can easily prove me wrong right now but you refuse to. Whatever man, just stop responding if you don't want to engage honestly.
If you read it, give me the link. I don't believe you.
When you calm down and look back at this later you'll realize how petty you are being.
That was the second insult. You get three before I block you. I have no interest in Reddit behavior.
stop responding lol
I guess you've given up on all pretense of having read the bill at this point.
How does me linking the bill in any way prove I read it?
At this point, it doesn't. It's clear you didn't. Too late to try to prove you did. You've had many, many opportunities, all of which you refused to take up. And it's obvious why.
I'm serious, take a 10 hours break and come back and ask yourself if you are being reasonable.
I think it's very reasonable to disbelieve you read the bill. You've given me every reason to not believe that.
Ok you're fucking crazy. That's strike 3 can you block me
Okay then.
