There’s no way at all that the internet would have some fun with the web portal by creating various fun spam generators to flood them with garbage. Absolutely not. That’d be crazy.

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!

Why flood it with garbage when you can flood it with reports about every currently elected Republican in the state?
I've actually found some decent things in the garbage occasionally.
And once that's done, continue with every republican voter, starting with the ones with signs and shrines in their yards.
Who's going to report the Governor's mansion this time? Who's pasting the entire script of Bee Movie into the comment field?
edit: and of course you are all obligated when (not if) it goes live to spam it with 100,000 reports of this lawmaker's name and address and any other random not-real reports to clog up their shit
How many times do these idiots need to get the Bee movie script before they realize these bounty systems are worthless?
At least once more, it seems
Sounds more and more like Nazi Germany.
There's no way trump can depart that many people, and unlikely that the other countries will want them back, so they will end up in camps.
To be fair, they did the same thing to Mormons in 1838 and got rid of them for a while.
And that was the last time Kansas City had local control of it's law enforcement.
This bounty is going to backfire. I’m just gonna call them and report every fast food place in the phone book and take in the cash. Does it say the claim needs to lead to an arrest? Probably not.
Sounds like a good idea until you consider the fact that you'd be subjecting a bunch of people already working ridiculous hours at a crappy job for below a living wage to a lot of harassment.
And that's if you DON'T get someone deported. Which is highly unlikely, since the fast food industry is probably the second-largest employer of undocumented immigrants after agriculture..
So maybe DON'T do that.
But I’ll be rich, and then I can leave this place. Besides, whatever task force is doing this will be overwhelmed. Remember when Utah had that website to report trans bathroom use? It was flooded with bogus claims to clog their system.
Either way, I seriously doubt they actually plan to PAY out. I have to imagine there’s a ton of paperwork that never gets finished.
Don't spam it with nonsense, just report your local republican voters for having a migrant housekeeper/gardener/nanny/lodger or similar. They wont believe it if you report the owner is a migrant and they have republican signs in-front of their house, but they'd have to investigate whether they employed a migrant.
How does this affect the migrants though?
Ideally it doesn't. It just wastes a lot of enforcement time and energy chasing incorrect leads, and give those who voted for it a taste of what being on the receiving end is like.
Yeah, I don't see this going terribly wrong.
Melania and Elongated Muskrat come to mind
