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!

What a hilarious way to go out. Darwin Award nomination incoming
Coal industry, horse racing... some people are just determined to make the world a slightly worse place.
Also, how can one be "aboard" a lawn mower?
Driving lawn mower. Staple for houses with acreage.
indeed... they look like mini tractors, insane
Never realized it, but in hindsight it's so obvious. Of course riding mowers are not common outside of the US.
the US, the riding lawn mower of countries
Looks like ol' Johnnie Turner forgot to turn
These are the people in charge of running the country...
“Accidents” happen. (I used to be a medic, and I firmly believe there is no such thing as a true “accident”.) If you look at the whole scene, you can find the point on the timeline up to the “accident” where the patient got stupid. And then I had to be there.
And yes, drunk mowing is a real thing. I had to overturn a riding lawnmower once to look for a bit of finger. But the two fatalities involving lawnmowers I did, had no alcohol involved—just stupidity was all that was required.
Well, not anymore
at 76 with a reasonable amount of wealth under his belt, I'm surprised he was even mowing his own lawn
Lots of people love maintaining a yard or garden. It’s not work to them. It’s a hobby.
100% agree. I love putting on headphones and mowing my lawn. Somehow it's relaxing. Shoveling snow, different story...
I think for some people it's like a form of meditation, especially for those with a big lawn and a riding mower. I don't personally get it, but that's the vibe these guys give off.
ok so there's mowers you actually ride,... this makes a lot more sense
"Now why would anybody do drugs when you can just mow a lawn?" - Hank Hill
On one hand, yep.
On the other, I usually blaze one before I start on my yardwork / landscaping.
Blaze it Raze it Praise it
Getting high and driving slowly in circles is the best. I miss my riding mower but do not miss having a yard that required one.
I bet, but I've only got a 1/4 acre, so I just push mow. Still makes it better, though lol.
I get it. We can easily afford someone to come mow our lawn but that’s quiet me time that I need so I’d much rather do it myself.
What a shitty way to go.
I am so proud of my state
I'm having a really hard time imagining how such an accident was unavoidable.

How do you "plunge" into an empty pool? Wonder if it was a mulching mower.
There are definitions of plunge that don't involve water. One can plunge their hand into their pocket, for example.
You can’t make this stuff up.
Sure you can.
coming soon: GOP legislation to block requirement of "don't drive it into a pool" warning stickers on lawn mowers
That is some real Kentucky shit right there.
Seriously thought this was a headline from The Onion.
The article I read recognized him for his contributions to the coal industry lobby and expanding horse betting. A real go-getter.
This new Republican Lawmaker challenge is taking TikTok by storm!
