Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Disagree, I watched it live and it was bizzare. Yes, they had a couple medical situations that the experts handled, but Trump was fumbling pre planned questions read off queue cards and answers from a teleprompter, he was an hour late starting, he kept leaning funny in his chair, he screwed up the election date, and other basic info, then when he said they would take more questions he immediately said to just play music, and he stood there swaying for 39 minutes, sometimes looking like he might wander off, and his facial expressions looked like he was on drugs, like he was trying them on in a mirror or making them to see how they felt.
It honestly looked like they just rolled him out of the care home on a day pass. Like they might be walking him back to his ward after enjoying a good listen to his favorite old tunes.
I've long said that he is just as cognitively sound or unsound this year as before, but I've changed my view after last night. Trump is in serious decline.
Is it possible to cover up "serious decline" with a serious dose of uppers? I've assumed he is on a steady diet of pills ever since he accused Biden of only being able to stay awake if they put him on meds.
Maybe this is how he is when his meds wear off.
That worked eight years ago but I think he’s too far gone now.
Everything you've mentioned could have been said about him over the past six years. There is nothing strange about him in this video. If anything, I found him to be quite relaxed and enjoying himself among his MAGAteers.
Yea, I mean he seemed as relaxed as you can get at music night in the care home.
