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!

America choosing between a healthy younger leader or an elderly, demented, mentally declining sociopath with fascist leanings: ....

.... I don't know what to do!!? ... (shaking head in confusion)...

“Just inject enough bleach to keep him going past the election and until we can blame his demise on another country or group to justify war.”

- The leaders right in front of your faces

"Oh shit this means we'll end up with JD Vance?" - The same blind leaders

here's a rundown: his blood type is heinz and his heart is begging for a quick death while the compost heap behind his eyes continues to rot and fill the room with toxic miasma

is that you George Carlin speaking to us from beyond the grave?

The last thorough report on Trump’s health came in 2019, when he was still president. That checkup classified him as obese with a weight of 243 pounds and a body mass index of 30.4, which raises the risk of heart disease, diabetes and other problems. That report also revealed increased dosages of medication for high cholesterol.

As for his family history, his father had Alzheimer’s disease late in life

That, plus an obvious cognitive decline do not paint a pretty picture. If Rs are realistically voting for President Vance, they deserve to know that.

This is 2016 bullshit. C’mon AP! Dig deep!!

His hatred for immigrants is probably the only thing keeping him alive right now.

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 14 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm sure he doesn't give a shit about immigrants, it's just one of the cudgels they use to manipulate their poor racist base.

[–] vividspecter@lemm.ee 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Well he outright hates black people, so extending that to immigrants wouldn't be surprising.

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

sure, I just think he's insulated to the point he never has to think about any of them.

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

I think it’s more his lust for his daughter.

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 11 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

Guy’s fucked in the head and he’ll be dead inside of 4 years. And I hope he dies in a supermax.

I want him to get locked in syndrome for a few years first.

The Moca cognitive test is a complete joke.

I've seen older family members have to take a neuropsych exam that lasted 6-8 hours and there's no spoofing that.

Harris should hound Trump to take it.

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Can you imagine the MAGA meltdown if Trump dies of old age before the election/inauguration if he wins? The conspiracy theories will reach a level we've yet to witness.

[–] Catma@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

That man runs on spite and vengence. With as much as he has and based on Kissinger living to nearly 100 I wouldnt be surprised if Trump makes it past 100.
