Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

My favorite part of the video is that Trump keeps trying to do this stupid fucking power move where he gives a firm handshake and refuses to let go. Newsom was ready for it and Trump had to forcibly pull his hand away.

Edit: Sorry for not being clear. There is a link to a tweet in the article that has the video.

That's what happens when you wear giant lifts in your shoes because you're a little bitch obsessed about your height.

Lol, the fact Newsome has no lifts (and no tall hat) and is still taller is actually hilarious. I don't like Newsome much, but this is a great metaphor for California vs Trump.

Newsome towers over Trump in lifts.

Lots of people wear heals all the time and don't lean forward like this. Something is wrong with Trumps health, and they're hiding it.

Something is wrong with Trumps health, and they're hiding it.

Every time I see him, he looks more and more like a gas station hotdog that's been on the rollers since 1979. I don't think they're hiding shit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Don't you think he looks tired?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

That's after everything they've done to hide it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Correct, nothing is hidden, his voters just don't care.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Maybe, but he was doing that in his first term too.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yes, bcz whatever is wrong with him, he's had it for a while.

Probably not, there are a bunch of medical conditions that lead to a hunched forward posture like his. None of them are gout (in my 15 minute googling exercise)

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 days ago (1 children)

First term, it was speculated it was an early sign of dementia or some shit. This image and this video of him walking down a slope. His handlers making him take a cognitive test that gave us "person, woman, camera, tv"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

It's telling that "Person" and "Woman" are opposites in his world

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 days ago

He has the stance of the front half of a centaur. It’s kinda hilarious, and you can’t un-see that.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

The man lives on KFC and MCD food so of course something is/has been wrong with his health.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yep, claims to be 6'3" and the pic of him next to Biden they looked to be the same height. Biden is listed at 6'0".

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Wait, are you saying he's not growing even taller with age? He should probably start saying he's 6'5" - that'd make America really great again.

Anyway, if that asshat is 6'3", I'm 6'6".
