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!

Looks like he was about to faint. I've been feeding some neighborhood cats in an effort to trap them to get them properly nuetered/spayed, so when I put out food I'll sit with them while they eat so they learn I'm not a threat. I put out some food, and then hunkered down into a deep squat, just enjoying the morning sunshine, the sounds of kitty's eating and the wind dancing between the leaves. Must've stayed in that position for a little longer than I thought, because when I got up abruptly to head inside, I fainted! Thankfully I was able to break the fall with my hip, so I only got a small gash on the backside of the ol' noggin, but it was scary. I woke up quick enough and was immediately aware of the time of day, what I was doing, etc. so I wasn't worried about a concussion (I've had one before so know what to look for), but still. t'was alarming! and the way I felt, all unsteady, leaning heavily on whatever was around in an effort to stabilize myself, is exactly what this guy in the video looked like. Don't know if it can be fully explained by not eating during a busy day as the candidate suggested, but perhaps with some hypertension/anti-anxiety medication thrown in... yeah, I could see that.
Certainly nice of the other candidate to check on him, it seemed like he was genuinely concerned, which is exactly what we should value in those we choose to represent us.
