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!

As a human that understands, speaks, and writes in the English language, I don’t think this man understands the English language.

Most of what he says makes no sense and I’m starting to believe literacy is the problem. Does he know how to read? This is a genuine question.

It's proven he can't read for shit but the bigger problem now is how bad the dementia is getting. He's way worse than he was a year ago. I hope the magat idiots really like the couch fucker because if Dementia DonOLD gets in, the eyeliner wearing couch fucker will be President not long after.

I'm starting to think that's the plan.

The man looks like he would fit right in with the rest of the commanders on The Handmaid's Tale.

He makes me want to buy a rape alarm and I'm not even a woman.

People have been saying for years now that he abuses Adderall. Furthermore he is aging poorly and under a lot of stress from felony cases and convictions. This is a rapid decline and the starting point was not literacy.

...it's pretty common knowledge and readily explains his propensity for late-night toilet tweets when he's not busy watching TV...

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So that’s always been curious to me as someone prescribed adderall and takes it daily. I shit all my shit out after my first dose in the morning and then again after I get home from work. Unless I’m sick that’s how it goes, when is he taking it!?

Is your diet also entirely diet coke and big mac hamberders?

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

No but just because I eat better than a him doesn’t mean it’s much better

[–] Floodedwomb@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Amphetamines in general.

Education is absolutely a massive problem. Education in every red state has been beaten into submission. While there's a couple of colleges in red states that are pretty respectable the rest of their education is absolutely the worst.

They go as far as to indoctrinate their schools. Can't learn any race history It might make you feel better about minorities. They're trying to wrap religion into the schools. The uneducated are easier to push around with fear. And their own educational insecurities make them more likely to flock toward a candidate who seems uneducated.
