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!

Well, I wish him the worst, and hope for the slowest, most agonizing recovery for him.
Who said anything about recovery?!
What a vile sentiment. This is a human person that is a felon and a rapist and actively brings harm to marginalized people, and you wish him a recovery?!
My post was clearly a reference to wishing people well and a speedy recovery, but now that I saw the other response to my post I do want Trump to survive for the rest of the year, giving Vance less potential time at the helm
If America has a civil war, I want Trump to be in command of the Neo Confederates. That would save many ReUnion lives, since the enemy would be utterly incompetent and would encourage backstabbing among his minions.
True wisdom.
Keep everyone confused. I guess by now they are scrambling and can’t properly recall how to “sandbag”. So, ummm, never thought I’d say it but fuck, Viva La Trump. (Oh that turns my tummy inside out) Strange times do call for ridiculous measures. C’est la Vie.
A painful agonizing one that will lead to a false hope of recovery. Commenter was playing the “long game” when it came to well wishes.
Well, if he recovers and makes it over the 2 years before JD Vance replaces him, then the 2 years won't count towards limiting Vance's two terms. However, if he kicks it like a year into it and Vance serves 3 years, then he couldn't run for a third go since the 3 years would count as 1 full term.
Honestly, if Vance assumes control and your democrats aren't screaming all day and all night about this unelected and illegitimate president for as long as it takes to get an election, then they really haven't learned anything about the way the game has been played for the last couple decades.
Is it fleshed out like that?
I do not think it will matter, Vance will not keep the supreme leader spot, he will be rejected for somebody with more Charisma in 2028.
Eww no imagine the poor people who have to take care of him and wash his absurd american body. Just put him down. He's not going to jail
I hope your wishes come true.
