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!

When will convicted felon donnie step down? He's so old. He cannot seem to stay awake during his trials, and he cannot even walk down a ramp!

Last time we had a candidate this old, he was a Democrat and he stepped down. If I was a young Republican voter I'd be asking myself why my party only wants to prop up elderly candidates. It's insane to allow someone as old as Trump into the oval office, and we've heard many Republicans say this recently! Hopefully they'll continue to voice this opinion and vote accordingly. I know what I would do if I were them.

The democratic convention hasn't happened, Biden was only ever just the presumed candidate. Trump is the oldest U.S. presidential candidate there has ever been.

God I can hear it already

"...older like never before..."

Also he keep rambling about irrelevant shit and can't stay focus, remind me of my demented grandpa before he dies the next year. Maybe convicted criminal Tonald Drump also have dementia?

[–] [email protected] 90 points 3 months ago (2 children)

He's also the only President to've never served in public office or the military before being elected. He has dozens of dubious (infamous?) records.

[–] [email protected] 53 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Dozens of felony convictions too.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Only president impeached twice.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

And he accomplished that amazing feet in only four years!!!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

He’s the only person named Donald Trump to get booted out after a single term.

[–] [email protected] 61 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Waaay too old. This rapist with 34 felonies needs to drop out. He's got dementia and can't even complete a sentence. Sad.

Diaper Donald, the geriatric cheeto pedo

[–] [email protected] 47 points 3 months ago

[–] [email protected] 35 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The Dems running a former DA against a convicted felon. Who's law and order now?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

[–] [email protected] 33 points 3 months ago (3 children)

[–] [email protected] 34 points 3 months ago

The evil black lady coming to take their freedumbs.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

Oh they'll have no trouble inventing things.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

A combination of overt racism and sexism, and flailing to find something that'll stick.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Bitch so old he apprenticed for Mussolini.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Actually he was already like that. Biden was yet to be nominated.
