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

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 just wanna debate this guy, but you know– and I’m gonna demand a drug test too, by the way,” Trump said as the audience cheered. “I am. No, I really am. I don’t want him coming in like the State of the Union. He was high as a kite.”

Says the guy who allegedly held coke parties at the Plaza while he was hooking up with underaged teenage girls, hung out with a known human trafficker, paid hush money to multiple women to hide how much of a predator he is, and has been found guilty of raping at least one of them.

Let's drug test them both.

In fact, I have a better idea. The debate is headed by Snoop Dogg. Both of them have to get high with him and answer his questions.

I think Biden demand Trump submit dna for comparison to cold case rape kits.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago

I second that idea. 'Once while sober and once while drunk' and all that.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago

Trump currently mumbles word salad at his rallies, because he doesn't need drugs to sound like his brain is failing.

[–] [email protected] 126 points 5 months ago (1 children)

This was a pretty predictable comment, given that (1) Trump himself has long been alleged to snort Adderall and take other stimulants, and (2) Trump always, without fail, accuses his enemies of exactly what he is already doing.

[–] [email protected] 75 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The day Trump accuses Biden of sleeping with Ivanka is gonna be wild.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That'll never happen, because Trump's not actually doing it.

Edit: Wait, I misread and thought you were talking about Melania.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 5 months ago

The edit really made this comment amazing.

[–] [email protected] 84 points 5 months ago (1 children)

So trump was definitely high as a kite during his state of the union.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago

That's just his baseline projection. Drumft is high all the time.

[–] [email protected] 68 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Trump needs to submit one first. Taken by an impartial authority. Throw in a proper cognitive test.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Send him to some random drug test place like they do for a job interview. Those nurses won't take shit from anyone. "Oh you accidentally flushed the toilet after peeing in the cup, guess you're coming back tomorrow."

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Is this a thing in America?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

Yes, it really is.

The funny thing is it was the Trump WH medical staff that was found to be illegally distributing drugs to staffers. Not saying definitively that Trump was partaking, but ...

Trump White House pharmacy improperly provided drugs and misused funds, Pentagon report says

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

The drug scheduling rules that the Trump White House pharmacy was following were inspired by "It's every day, bro" by Jake Paul.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

This one I’m not so scandalized about. I’m sure every White House admin does this - they have hard and punishing international work where they need to be sharp. Ronnie Jackson was there during Obama too.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 5 months ago (1 children)

To think that this pathetic sack of shit is the best the Republicans could come up with, for 3 consecutive elections, blows my mind.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 months ago

Everyone on earth with something to gain knows he’s an easily manipulated useful idiot. He’s the greatest thing to happen for the corrupt since lobbying became legal.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 5 months ago

Projection, projection, always projection.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 5 months ago

Welp...I guess we're safe to presume Trump is loaded on drugz...the z makes it different and ok.....

[–] [email protected] 33 points 5 months ago

Donald pulled the same "they need a drug test" stunt on Hillary Clinton in 2016 before a debate, proving that this silly ole drama queen needs a new bag of tricks.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Lol, more projection. Let's have them both take one together and see who fails. I'll bet there's one that would go into an incoherent rant and blame someone for something and not take the test. Sound about right?

So, Trump was high.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The same Trump that just forgot who & where he was at his rally a couple hours ago?

Sure, Jan.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

Cult leaders don't need to be smart to be popular.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Biden should demand an anal cavity search for trump. Who knows what manner of Russian recording device he has stuffed in there.

Proof that Trump actually is the Adderall addict he's rumored to be.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago

Weak willed dementia patient trump trying to concoct a reason to back out. Of course he can't come up with anything new because that part of his brain is mush.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Of course he can’t come up with anything new because ~~that part of~~ his brain is mush.

Fixed that for you.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 months ago

trump sounds like a bitch

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Why doesn't Biden just shoot this fuck? I thought presidents can't be charged for crimes they commit while in office.

Trump:

“Sniff”

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago

Only if Trump does too.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago
[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

That's fine tiny hands. Let's try the tissue paper test on that face of yours... How much shit can I swab off that Macco ass paint job of a spray tan.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

Just another lame attempt to get out of the debate.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

Trump should get a brain scan 🪱

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

They should give them surprise ones right before they go on then live announce the results

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

On what? Blood pressure medication?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago
[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

"I will if you take a dementia test..."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

I have no doubt the debates with be the Manhattan project of methamphetamines
