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!

"I thought he would talk longer," she said. "However, I still will vote for him. I think he’s a very good candidate. … The concert was great."

Apparently watching someone stand on stage for 30 minutes while recorded music plays is...a concert?

The amount of self deception and cognitive dissonance on display is honestly kinda breathtaking

I think he is a very good candidate.. He cares only about himself, and so he lies and cheats. He says he grabs women by the pussy, I like that.

That woman, apparently.

It's more of a wedding party where the bride's new brother in law shows up to the reception completely wasted while calling out random songs and the DJ placates him as the family huddles in the prep room trying to figure out what to do with him.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Bait him out with cheese and bratwurst.

[–] ThePantser@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

DJ Trump in the house. Man if he wasn't such a piece of shit he has the perfect DJ name.

Part of his staff is pushing him him to be on stage, while the other half is trying to keep him from saying anything. Trump himself would rather be golfing. This is what you get from a tired old man, and that's how it'd work if he was in office too.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

Yup, he also was golfing all the time when he was in office

[–] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He can't golf anymore because someone tried to kill him there.

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I don't mind if he golfs some more.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 34 points 1 month ago

Reignites?

If America hasn't figured this one out yet, Turnip isn't the one with a problem with their mental acuity.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 31 points 1 month ago

I love the immediate fact checking.

"She is dying to see my Cholesterol (which is 180!), I have already provided them, many times, including quite recently, and they were flawless," Trump wrote at 12:43 a.m. Tuesday.

Trump has not released his medical records while running for president this cycle.

The Chief Fire Officer has just informed us that questions about Trump's mental acuity continue to be a Five Alarm Fire after ten years of steady burning. Questions about Trump's mental acuity are currently being compared to the Centralia, Pennsylvania Mine Fires.


"Reignites" my ass. These flames never went out. It's been a steady news diet of someone who was already a mentally deficient fucking freak on a downward spiral into dementia.

More stunning that he has 30 minutes of music he's allowed to use...

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 25 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I am fairly certain most if not all of the music he used he has been told to not use.

Edit to add: https://www.newsweek.com/entertainment/celebrity-news/every-artist-band-who-asked-trump-stop-using-music-august-2024-1946293

Artists that have asked or told him not to use their music as of September 3rd 2024: ABBA, Adele, Aerosmith, A-Ha, Beyoncé, Bruce Springsteen, Celine Dion, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Earth, Wind & Fire, Eddy Grant, Foo Fighters, Free, Guns N' Roses, House of Pain, Isaac Hayes, Johnny Marr, Linkin Park, Neil Young, Nico Vega, The O'Jays, Ozzy Osbourne, Panic! at the Disco, Pharrell Williams, R.E.M., Rihanna, The Rolling Stones, Twisted Sister, Village People, The White Stripes.

Emphasis mine on artists I read were played last night.

I admittedly didn't watch it, but wasn't he playing ave Maria? That's gotta be public domain

[–] MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

The song maybe, but not that particular version.

[–] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We may have our October Surprise right here, kids. It's getting BAD. I think at this point a vote for tRump would effectively be a vote for JD Vance. I've heard drunks sound less slurred.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 1 month ago

I think at this point a vote for tRump would effectively be a vote for JD Vance.

That has been the case since they chose Vance as a running mate. It was always clear they chose someone who isn't going to be afraid to backstab Trump by 25th amendmenting his ass and taking over the Presidency to roll out Project 2025.

[–] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

His mere existence ignites questions about his mental acuity.

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

"Reignites" meaning newspapers cannot paraphrase what he did so that he looks sane this time. Dementia and a full diaper. He is declining fast.

[–] karl_chungus@lemm.ee 9 points 1 month ago

Don’t you think he looks tired?
