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!

Jesus Fred Christ what are the photo editors doing?

Every trump article has an ever-more-close-up even-greasier horror picture of his sociopathic rapist fraud face. Man, nobody wants to see that shit!

It was all the media really cared about before. Should be their number 1 concern now. Right?

I definitely think there is a case of Goose/Gander here. If Biden was too old, and got run out of office by opportunistic media jerks happy to harp on his age day after day, attacking things he's done his entire adult life as if it shows he's one foot in the grave, then by god, the Media should jump all over Trump for the same problems. This is our way of saying "Hey, if Biden was too old at 81, then so is Trump at 78, especially with 59 year old Harris in the mix. Where are you, Media?"

This tactic implies that Trump voters ever gave half a shit about age in the first place. They attacked biden's age because it was low hanging fruit. No risk, high reward. Nice easy way to say they're "holding their noses and voting for Trump", even though that was the plan all along, because Biden's age gave them a convenient excuse to justify their choice without exposing themselves as bigots.

Democrats have begun to question former President Donald Trump's age hours after he was made the oldest presidential candidate in history yesterday. A Kamala Harris campaign spokesperson told Newsweek that "the American people are rightly concerned."

Lol! Nature is healing.

Yes, we're very concerned.

Makes sense, If 81 is too old, 78 is probably too old too. After all, Trump would be 81 during his presidency if he wins.

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

Well I was calling Trump too old and Biden too old to be running for eight years now but that's not the point is it?

Doesn't matter if he's too damn old when economic anxiety runs rampant in the American voting public.

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

He could always drop out if this is hurting his feelings.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (5 children)

They should. Both Biden and Trump belong in a home

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

I mean, everyone is saying it. Everyone. Even some of the magaloons know it. Even if it's only a very tiny voice they hear only after they turn off the Faux "News", turn off the hate radio and shut off 4chan or whatever and go to tuck themselves in...they know it.
