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!

Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday bashed former president Donald Trump’s cognitive fitness and suggested his own staff may be keeping him away from the public because they’re concerned about his mental stability.

In a podcast appearance Roland Martin Unfiltered, Harris pointed out that Trump hasn’t released his medical records, gone on 60 Minutes or agreed to another debate, unlike her.

“You have to ask, why is his staff doing that?” Harris said. “It may be because they think he is unfit and unstable.”

Meanwhile, Trump, 78, has refused to release his medical records, a move that his allies have defended, saying voters are not interested in his physical fitness.

Like hell. I want to know if we're staring down the barrel of a President Vance.

He’s an obese 78 year old who eats McDonald’s every day and has been getting visibly less coherent and energetic. You don’t need a doctor to tell you the next four years are unlikely to be completely free of significant health issues

I am shocked and dismayed that covid didn't kill him instantly. I remember clips of Donald struggling to breathe after hospitalization and people posting fervently hopeful social media comments saying lots of patients have died after treatment.

My aunt had a similar build to trump. She died from covid half his age. I can only assume the difference is money.
