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!

No fucking shit he's demented. Seriously, this is the first time we are seeing this in a headline? And it's from rawstory, and it's in quotes?!

Goddamn, corporate news media - do your fucking goddamned jobs and call it like it is - YES he's got dementia. He's also a rapist and a convicted fraud if you want to really get down with the trüfax instead of the weak ass bullshit you normally run to goose this pathetic horserace as per your republiQan owners' instructions.

Oh yeah and he orchestrated a failed coup to stay in power that got some people killed. Dunno if you knew that or not based on how you talk about him and what he does. I'd be happy to direct you to ALL THE GODDAMNED PROOF if you need, just hit me up there. Corporate news media. You utter shitbags. This entire trump fiasco - all of it - is absolutely your fault. You can't be destroyed fast enough.

You forgot that he is also responsible for at least part of the 1 million Covid related deaths in the USA. His unscientific bullshit had a huge impact on people who believed that Covid is nothing more than a common cold.

I'm pretty sure he's not a spy. He's not competent enough. They're happy with him being a highly suggestible useful idiot.

More like a useful idiot.

He was competent enough to steal state secrets... And keep some of the most dangerous ones... We hope. And he is still walking free.

They don't care if anyone is informed, they just care that today's headlines get your attention so you hit a couple of ads.
