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!

Trump is old, morbidly obese, and senile. He’s also been convicted of 34 felonies. He belongs in a prison infirmary, not on the campaign trail.

Fun fact. Thanksgiving and Christmas are the heart attack spike times. Unhealthy people eat too much and while overstuffed with all that food are more likely to write off signs and symptoms as indigestion and holiday stress.

Someone made the comment that Vance is 1 cheeseburger away from the presidency if they win. More like one holiday meal away.

Meanwhile, Kamala is 20 yrs younger and fit.

Does McDonald’s have a holiday meal?

Because I’d guess his odds are about as good as any other time of year.

I wish. Wawa has a mean sub called the gobbler that has turkey, dressing, and cranberry sauce.

They sometimes have colored milkshakes, I think that counts?

He belongs in a prison ~~infirmary~~ graveyard, not on the campaign trail.

10 years later and Hillary is still alive, that secret Parkinson's, or whatever, seems to have been cured. A miracle.

The 5g from the covid vaccines has healing properties, if you pay the subscription fees to Bill Gates

SHAMEFUL! The Radical Democrat so called doctor, paid by Comrade Kamala Harris, is lying to the American People, and trying to hide the fact that she is MENTALLY DISABLED. The Lunatic Liberals are also trying to illegally hide, just like the FAKE NEWS MEDIA did for years, that SLEEPY JOE BIDEN, who many people say is THE WORT PRESDENT IN HISTORY is UNABLE TO RUN THE COUNTRY.

We're so far beyond satire at this point, I have absolutely no idea if that's real or a joke lol

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

I know, right??

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Is that real. I believe it is, but still.

If it's fake, they nailed it. I fucking hate how he chooses to capitalize shit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It's fake, satire, whatever. I can't find it. Does Trump capitalize like that? I thought he was more of an all caps guy.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Can’t tell if this is a joke or not.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

My favorite part is PRESDENT, can't even write his own past job right.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (2 children)

He's five minutes away from a stroke or heart attack.

When he dies we have to thank McDonald's

I’d vote for a dead D over a live R.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

When Biden was in the race someone posted their rank order for who should be president:

Living Biden>Biden Corpse>Trump Corpse>Living Trump

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I'd vote for roadkill over a live or dead R

She should film herself taking a cognitive test, since that’s something Trump likes to boast about.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Meanwhile, I wonder if donnie found a doctor that said he grew another inch (in height) and lost several pounds since last time...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Nice thought, but it won't matter. Trump will just have Ronnie Jackson say he's never seen a man as healthy as Trump in all his years, and that Trump will likely live to be 250 years old, and even then he'll only die because he'll realize he's solved all of the world's problems and there's nothing left to live for.

(There are too many "ands" in that sentence, but I can't be bothered to fix it)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

This is a dude who thinks he can get a national broadcast network taken off the air for simply asking the FCC. Someone in his campaign is going to say something that questions the validity of this doctor and call for petitions to get their medical license revoked. I appreciate they are making an effort to appeal to the uncommitted voter, but sadly Trump is surrounded by people who understand what will make his base angry.

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

What is this? Are you telling me she’s not the fittest president ever? I mean, I also heard that no one has done more for republicans in than Harris. She doesn’t even drink covfefe! She drinks tae!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

No one with at least one functioning sense would dispute this. Why is this their campaign strategy? If they're trying to win over Republican voters, the Dems need to amp up their bigotry to 2000% (please don't). There are no uncommitted voters, only those choosing to sit out. And they're not sitting out because they're unsure which of the two evils is greater.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago

Pretty sure Trump's doctor said he was in excellent health. And Stalin's doctor said he was in excellent health. What's your point?
