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!

But anything other than aggrandizing the pants-shitting kleptocrat is communism, and as we all know communism is the devil. Do you support Satan or Freedom™️?
Freedom has only gotten me into a capitalism dystopian hellhole where the rich control everything.
So Satan it is.
Trick question, Satan is freedom, can't tell me what fruit not to eat!
Right? Biden says the smallest thing slightly off and people clutch pearls. Trump mouth regurgitates his own slop, and he’s never been particularly clear in what he talks about. He’s a rambling racist old fool. Period. There isn’t anything that anyone can say to redeem to me anything about this man.
Nah, age was only a problem for Biden.
Rules for thee, not for me
JFC NY Times, you're just noticing his decline now?. It's been self-evident for years.
Even NY Times is starting to see the writing on the wall, and is starting to hedge.
The first chance they get republicans will invoke 25th amendment to remove mentally unfit Trump and install JD as their president. Billionaires are bankrolling JD for this exact reason. Trump is literally a stepping stone for the oligarchs to get past this inconvenient thing called election
They've had the opportunity to use the 25th before and not done so
I think, after watching the VP debate, it seems pretty clear, for whatever reason, that Vance is running for president. Whether it's age, stepping down, 25thA, or whatever, I get a very strong sense that Vance expects to be taking over the oval office sooner rather than later. Looking at how they're organized, who is bankrolling him, and how Vance is positioning himself, I do think it's possible there is a plan somewhere to install him as acting president.
. Proportionately, he uses 13 percent more all-or-nothing terms like “always” and “never” than he did eight years ago, which some experts consider a sign of advancing age.
If you ask me this is a sign of worsening mental health as much as it is just getting older.
Dude’s head has been completely fucked for years now.
Just look at interviews from the 2000s.he was a completely different person. He definitely has fairly advanced dementia.
was the question of age ever "extinguished"? how could it have been reignited?
They stopped questioning age when Biden stepped down. Now it's taken them almost 3 months to realize the other candidate also has age and dementia issues.
my experience has been seeing one of these articles/posts about every week since kamala took over. and kamala harris has been drilling this point in her campaigning. but after looking into things a bit more, i think it's probably just because i've been too online and my perspective doesn't seem to be the most common one. i think what you said is probably closer to the public opinion/perspective on this.
so i suppose the use of "reignites" is justified here.
I hope there is an October surprise of leaked health documents and articles. (Those darn hackers again!) Unless he never sees any real doctors, the ugly truth is out there somewhere. It might remind enough people that they shouldn't actually check that box for the confused, terminally angry, obese, 80 year old madman.
The only people that care are non Trump supporters. His supporters are all for crazy senile Trump.
In the real world, anyone over 65 would be forced to retire from their job, but American politics seems to love the old and crazy since they're allowed to hang around.
