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!

The president had yet another strange mark on his hands over Christmas, once again raising concerns that his health is not what he has claimed it to be.

Donald Trump—the oldest person to ever be elected president—was photographed with what appeared to be another bruise on Christmas Eve, this time marring his left hand.

The 79-year-old has repeatedly claimed that he is in pristine condition, brushing off public alarm over his deteriorating body.

There's a bunch of problems derived from the child rapist existence so I'd say it will solve a few.

And will give us satisfaction for seeing a child rapist kick the bucket, that's always good news.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'd rather see him actually face justice

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

The dude is 79. Arguably he already escaped justice, we're hoping for the next best thing

[–] Eat_Your_Paisley@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (3 children)

It won’t happen, he’ll die, he’ll rest in state, and we’ll all try to forget

[–] regedit@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

I won't try to forget shit. I'll celebrate his death yearly and loudly for the rest of my days!

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

As long as I live, I'll never forget, and I hope none of his enablers escape justice.

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

He will rest in piss because his grave will be a public toilet.

[–] Quokka@quokk.au 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And perpetuate the rest as everyone starts acting like the problem is over and they can return to before

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 5 points 1 week ago

Do then hopefully it goes one and off getting worse and more painful to the point where he's barley functional enough to keep being the king but not doing much else? Can he do that for his country for the next 3 years? Or maybe until November?

So do I not fix my car's transmission because I also have worn brake pads and a broken window?

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

If it also had a rusty chassis and needs 4 new tires and the window is back ordered or no longer available, it might be time for a whole new used car.

What I’m trying to say is that if the midterms don’t go well, my family and I are going to look into that Canadian descendants citizenship thing.

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I’ll still be so happy

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago
