Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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’d absolutely love to be wrong, but I had to say he’s probably going to live out the full 4 years of his term. Any speculation his health is rapidly declining seems like cope.
They’ll be able to keep that rotting ghoul alive. He’s got the best healthcare in the world and monitoring 24/7.
I mean who's to say they don't pull another Mitch McConnell move. It obviously worked last time.
Because Trump is far to public for this to work. Not like a public figure but between his rallies and press events where he sits sleeping behind the desk in the Oval Office it would not work as well.
I mean I guess you could AI some footage but that seems way risky with as conspiracy pilled most of MAGA is.
Right? This guy's move right after nearly dying of COVID was to go out on the White House balcony and mouth-breathe in front of a camera crew so everyone could see how "tough" he was.
No way could he actually die without people noticing immediately.
I'd bet he's literally hooked to machines 24/7 and a doctor or a "doctor" embedded in his entourage. Blood pressure or heart rate takes a slight dip or bump and he could get instant drugs to counteract. Basically the most immediate care anyone could get without being actively attended in a hospital.
Either that or he's actually dead and being Weekend At Bernies'd.
Maybe that's what that ass-box was that he was towing behind him.
I mean they’re keeping Bitch McConnell alive so…
They only need him to get past 731 days so they can scapegoat him and let Vance run the show for 2 years minus a day before his own 2 terms.
Maybe they'll repeal term limits for him too.
These guys get way too much credit, they’re incompetent fools. There’s not really a plan. When there is one, the orange idiot throws it into chaos
