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!

The only question swirling in my mind is how long they'll Weekend at Bernie's him before admitting the truth.
After August 3 apparently, after then it is too late to put someone in for him until the election.
That only works if they can keep everyone involved quiet. If he's actually deceased, that fact is going to leak.
Sounds like he's brain dead which fits with "found unconscious". They can keep him on life support for months
That's my guess as well. There was also reporting that said CPR was administered. When that is done on a frail elderly body, it creates many more problems than it solves.
He started with cardiac arrest and now he's got maybe a chest full of shrapnel as well: he's only leaving feet first, IMO.
5% survival rate for people his age.
My totally unfounded theory is that he's just hooked up to a bunch of machines to keep him "alive" and they'll pull the plug after that.
It really does make the most sense given the info at have so far.
Makes sense, sounds horrific, especially I'd the only reason is political.
Hos daughter getting off of X and all the other silence. It feels like someone pulled everyone aside and was like "we're gonna keep this dude "alive" and you all need to just take this for the team otherwise the democrats will win....or something.
In Texas they keep braindead pregnant bodies alive so they can give birth months later, even against family wishes.
Is there a link for that?
Sure
Makes the most sense to me.
He's probably on a machine.
Knowing Trump he'll let it slip as soon as he can.
They're not dumb enough to tell him, right?
Didn't even know the guy... I like my politicians alive
Death certs are public, give it two weeks and you can just foia the answer.
