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!

Fellow Arkansan here. I love to get in on that Arkansas gossip.
Hold the fuck up, you can't just call yourself an "Arkansan" when your ass backwards state is pronounced "Arc-en-saw."
Oh I sure can! There is a reason we reside near the bottom in education. Leave us be.
It's pronounced "Arc-en-sawn"

Well because they represent more than half the population realistically.
Word on the street is that there are some rich jerks in Bentonville
I'm a mountain biker and people are always gushing over that place like it's some eden.
First off, I'm sure the terrain has nothing on the PNW, but also it would feel trained given that it's some resort paid for with blood money
This makes the most sense. I was wondering why so many people care about wood.
The republican state government blew 19 THOUSAND dollars on it, thats why people care. Its bullshit.
Even shitty states like Arkansas have budgets in the tens of billions of dollars; $19k is a rounding error. Nobody cares about $19k, unless it turns out to be a crime, which this might be.
Well that's the issue. A podium like that normally costs a few hundred dollars max. So why was this one so expensive? Fraud is a crime.
That's not to mention that podiums are mostly pointless anyways. You could just stand and talk just as easily without one.
If you paid taxes and are struggling to pay all your bills I could see why that would be infuriating
IMO, this quote from a fellow r, is telling everyone around him to not worry about it. Everyone knows the guy and the detailed report will cover it up.
Hickey was pushed out as state Senate leader, he has an axe to grind and isn't afraid of a primary.
I've been slacking... I should've posted this over in /c/arkansas long ago.
