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!

Please be dying, please be dying, please be dying.

Please let Joe Biden outlive this sack of shit.

[–] Sho@lemmy.world 17 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I have never seen the word "concern" used so incorrectly.

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 9 points 11 hours ago

I'm concerned that he isn't sick enough.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 14 points 17 hours ago

Donald Lump.

[–] D_C@lemm.ee 20 points 18 hours ago

I am concerned about his health...not being poor enough. Obese piece of shit.

Besides they aren't leg braces, those are the extra strong straps for his shit catching suit he has to wear for when his adult incontinence panties start to overflow.

[–] wanderwisley@lemm.ee 11 points 17 hours ago

The tinshitman

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 13 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

So he has become too fat for his legs?

[–] fake_meows@lemm.ee 4 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

That's not as big a problem as you'd think because they have those scooters at the supermarket. You can ask another shopper to reach stuff on the upper shelves for you.

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 hours ago

as long as it's not a scooty puff junior

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 16 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I hope Trump lives long enough, that we can Nuremberg Peter Thiel and other leaders of Project 2025. The odds of that go down if the neoconfederates have an effective leader.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 11 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Those fuckers make me wish that Death Note was more than just anime.

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 3 points 15 hours ago

I would prefer Akumetsu myself. It is basically if the Punisher and Joker did a fusion dance, and made it their mission to take down corrupt politicians. Luigi taken up to 11.

[–] Goodmorningsunshine@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

That's the dream right there

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 42 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I hope his legs fucking snap like twigs under the immense weight of his obese, fascist body.

[–] glitch1985@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

But I just read the other month he's got the same height/bmi as those NFL players?

[–] rpl6475@lemmy.ml 43 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Health concern doesn't seem like the right term to me, it implies I would be upset if he was ill. Maybe, poor health hope?

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 14 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

I'm not concerned that his health is poor, I'm concerned that his health is good.

MAGA is a cult of personality, there is no #2. He holds100% of the power. When he reaches room temperature, there will be a massive insider battle for control, but it will be for naught. NOBODY will follow anyone but HitlerPig himself.

Instead, MAGA will transition to a religious sect, and literally worship HitlerPig as a God, or at least as a prophet.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

J.D. Cartman will have you repect his authoritarianism.

I predict they form some new incarnation of the teabaggers, properly astroturfed by the likes of Faux and AFP.

If they find a new figure that gives them a permission structure to be their worst selves and they can mainline the crazy racism like they do w/ donvict, they'll definitely go for it and pretend they never even heard of the washed-up game show host with the mini-shroom.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 day ago

I'm concerned he might be in good enough health to last the next 3 and a half years

[–] collapse_already@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ideally, he has a stroke when he sees people protesting his little dick parade.

[–] glitch1985@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

I know I will.

[–] abcdqfr@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago

Please let Cheeto Hitler collapse on camera. A pathetic slump would be the perfect bow to wrap all of this in, sooner than later. Cyanide and a self-headshot would display infinitely more conviction and accountability than today's version could ever muster.

[–] wanderwisley@lemm.ee 22 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Come on massive stroke I got a lot riding on ya.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 11 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

It has to be a stroke big enough to take out Vance and Johnson at the same time, and fuck up the chain of succession.

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 5 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Vance suffers an epileptic seizure, shits himself, and bites off Donny Jr.

Trump panics and strokes out; Vance suffocates on the severed pecker.

Johnson goes to call for help, slips on Vance's shit, and falls face first onto Trump's stainless steel buttplug.

[–] nwtreeoctopus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 16 hours ago

The Death Note finale is wild.

It’s probably body armor straps. No way he isn’t scared of being in public.

[–] glitch1985@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

Body armor is pretty heavy isn't it? I don't think he has the muscle to carry him plus any protection.

Whatever it is, I hope it’s painful.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 4 points 23 hours ago

And prolonged.

Well, this is better than what immediately came to my mind when I read 'lumps in Trump's pants', at least.

Please be dying. God, I will do so much more to improve the world if he's gone...

Isn't it just the stilt system he uses to make himself look taller? Part of the reason why he always stands pointing out his ass like he is about to take a shit in your general direction.

Mud flowed up in lump's pajamas
He totally confused all the passing piranhas
He's lump, he's lump
He's in my head
He's lump, he's lump, he's lump
He might be dead

Unfortunately his clothes always fit so terribly so who the fuck knows

[–] GeorgimusPrime@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

By the Presidents of the United States, no less.

I saw a photo of him with an odd lump in his crotch, and the poster said it looked like a catheter. I don't have the knowledge to comment either way, so I'll choose to believe it.

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 56 points 1 day ago (8 children)

Maybe leg braces, but I'm betting it's catheter bags. Taco Don switched from diapers.

So what would cause lower-extremities weakness and urinary incontinence? More mini-strokes, perhaps?

Spinal injuries, diabetes, an assortment of neurological conditions. Honestly whatever else he's got going on, given he's essentially worn heels every day for decades while also obese, I'd put good money that his back and knees are absolutely fucked.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 5 points 23 hours ago

Being too fat, lazy, and out of shape for your spindly legs to support you.

[–] Bonus@piefed.social 34 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Leg brace, leaky colostomy bag, tomato, tomahto.

I can only imagine his medical team is made up of various mad scientist types as any decent healthcare professional should be refusing to treat him. Do no harm. ✌️😉
