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!

He seems tired, doesn't he?

Don't you think he looks tired?

Weirdly low

What gave it away? The slumped shoulders? The slurry speech impediment? The stalling for time each time he is asked a question or any time he is expected to say something intelligent? The flabby gut? The vaginal crease he calls a neck? The fake tan? The combover?

Multiple events canceled. Harris campaign must seize on this.

[–] [email protected] 74 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

Her campaign has been harping on it before, so they'll probably ramp that up. For instance, they just posted this with the caption "is he ok"

Can we at least have someone pass a hoop around him to demonstrate that he isn't being held up by strings?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Hey now don't tell me your suggesting the heritage foundation, who published a 900 page document of everything the Trump should do, could be trying to pull strings? I'm sure they're also just keeping lists of people trump should remove for fun, you know, and that their not publicly released part of Project 2025 with fleshed out executive orders was for the bit

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Oh, we all know the heritage foundation is pulling his strings metaphorically, the question now is whether old Diaper Donny still has the strength to stand up on his own or if they're literally running a complex Weekend at Bernie's marionette scheme..

The agreement was you weren't going to fact check

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

I love how all the bullshit "sleepy joe" etc comes back to bite him in the ass.

A Trump campaign official said the event was canceled due to a scheduling conflict.

Someone must have given his pills at the wrong time, so he was lucid too early and now he needs his nap.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

Him actually being lucid would be newsworthy.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Canceling the CNBC interview I could see after getting thumped in Chicago, but canceling a softball rally where he would certainly be lavished with obsequious adulation suggests a health issue. Undoubtedly the grueling campaign trail is taking its toll on him.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Or a security issue. Very possible that someone called in a threat and Trump pulled out rather than risk a giant crowd full of gun-enthusiasts hiding someone with less enthusiastic views.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They'd have immediately trotted that excuse out if it was the case.

This is severe cognitive decline in a geriatric individual.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The threat doesn't need to be specific.

He might just have realized that surrounding himself with gun nuts when not every one of them buys his bullshit was not a smart idea.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

After pissing off everyone in a country full of people who have free access to firearms .... I wouldn't want to speak to a room full of these nutjobs myself

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

Yeah...problem is those are mostly his people. His brownshirts/redhats.

The funny thing about NRA types is that they're also "libertarian" types and at least some of them are literate.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why doesn’t he want to be in a room full of armed lunatics? Did he get shot recently or something?

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

They just revealed that the head of the NRA very sadistically tortured and murdered a cat. No one will be near that guy anytime soon.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

You miss 100% of the rallies you don't take.

Name checks ou- well, not really...

Ramble on!

“The NRA is committed to ensuring Donald Trump wins in November and returns to the White House,”

That in itself is a really good explanation of why so many people in my area support Trump.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Oh Donnie, what's wrong…?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Trumps chance to pull out the finger guns. I am shocked.

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

One can always hope.
