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!

It’s funny how Trump says a conspiracy theory and a week later people who call themselves the left are repeating it as gospel.

So you think his incoherent rambling was just senility then? There isn't a win here to be found my guy. He was sick or senile, either way he was unpopular, unethical, and no longer fit.

Read a transcript of the debate and its clear he isnt “senile”. Hes old as fuck and took a while to make his point. Like any 75+ year old person naturally does. Virtually every point he made was perfectly cogent, especially by comparison to the rambling delusions of Mango Unchained

He also has a speech impediment that allowed him down. Supposedly he had a cold too, but that one felt dubious

Remember when he invited Zelensky to the White House and introduced him at the press conference as “Vladimir Putin”? What a fucking liability.

Or when he closed his last State of the Union with an explicit threat to attack Russia, a fellow nuclear armed state, just off the cuff. At least when Trump does it no-one gives it serious credibility.

Wait, Trump is way more incoherent and jumbles things up than Biden ever did, he just does so at high speed because he is amped up on Sudafed

Why are you repeating Trump’s talking points though?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Why are you inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide DONT YOU KNOW TRUMP DOES THAT???

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Somewhat inconclusive proof that TDS is real.

I’m waiting for the first one to say that Biden’s a robot clone now.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The thing with trump is he never stops talking. In that waterfall of shit there's bound to be an actual truth or two, and he was right about bidens senility. Making a factual statement isn't "repeating trump talking points", because it's not a talking point it's a fact.

Do you believe they covered up Biden’s cancer too?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

I have no idea. I know Biden was senile because I watched the debate. I did not watch his doctor stick a finger up his ass.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Biden was senilee during the 2020 primaries as well.

Possible, but he did a pretty good job in those debates whereas in 2024 he was sunsetting right in front of us on live tv

Trump can't pronounce unethical without bursting into flames.
