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!

Exactly. He does weird word substitutions as part of how he deals with stuttering and has forever
I watched a video my mom posted of this incident along with claims that he was ‘screaming’ at the press.
Regarding Mexico, I just immediately remembered how I used to talk to my mom about him being a gaffe machine as a kid and waved it away.
As for the screaming, he got forceful because the press kept yelling over him, but not once did he raise his voice.
The criticisms of this man are mind boggling to me.
The GOP has been harping on this bullshit forever. Say a lie enough times and people start to believe it, that whole deal. Just more projection. It's so unbelievably ridiculous I'm not sure whether to sob or laugh like a maniac. Maybe both.
You guys really are going hard for Biden even though it's ok to be critical and worry about the guy being able to make rational decisions. And before I get labeled a Trump supporter, I'm voting for Biden.
I trust in Bidens ability to take council from his staff if his memory fails him. I also trust in Trump's inability to listen to anyone except himself, so I'll gladly take the former for another 4 years.
Yep. Biden knows how to listen and trust experts. He’d get my vote over trump for that reason alone any and every day.
As am I. We really, REALLY need younger candidates for President, but I’m not voting for a fascist man baby over just because the other guy is an old man with brainfarts.
Still Trump is demented, which is way worse than mixing people's names
Using the wrong name is a very common thing among elderly people. Stop trying to justify it. Both Biden and Trump should not be candidates for the presidency.
What company in the world would hire 80yos for anything mentally demanding. Biden wouldnt be hired on any company in the world, yet you want to put him in charge of the world? And he will be in an even worse condition later in his 2nd term.
Bill Clinton is 4 years younger and he is pretty much a zombie. Presidency takes a huge physical and mental toll. Even Obama went from super fit young man to middle aged.
