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!

Ma boy doesn’t look good at all. Time to prepare some champagne, just in case.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 7 points 14 hours ago

His mental health is long gone. His body is trying to keep up.

I hope him a slow and ludicrously insane painful death with much suffering.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Id rather it be immediate and public. Just keels the fuck over on live TV out of nowhere so we can move on quickly.

Absolutely not. It'll be much better for all concerned if he mentally deteriorates while he's still physically well, so that he's acting like a lost grandpa at press conferences, visibly shitting himself, forgetting what's going on in interviews and not even being able to cover it as well as he currently does his forgetting-what's-going-on-and-covering-it, all that stuff.

Let it play out to do as much undoing as possible to the cult of "Trump can do no wrong" because they're trying to double down to their friends and family about how he definitely didn't just spend five minutes yelling about "the Japs" and drooling when he was talking to reporters or something. That would be my wish, at least.

There's already suffering because of this asshole. I'm ok with him being gone.

Y’all been questioning his health for fucking ten years now.

[–] sad_detective_man@leminal.space 15 points 16 hours ago

Back then, it was questions about early indicators of dementia. Wow, how wrong we were! /s

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

Seriously with someone as batshit as him, speaking like a raving lunatic at all times, how could you tell he has dementia? It's like trying to diagnose a palm injury on a guy with no arms.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 16 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

At this point are we sure this isn't an animitronic wearing Trump's skin suit?

In all fairness, the only photos or footage I've seen of trump in which his face doesn't look like he's melting were from like the 80s.

Being a human (ish) McDonald's grease trap will do that to you.

You know what should make him feel better? A bunch of fried chicken and a big pot of coffee!

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.world 27 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

A line of coke and a big ol hit of the meth pipe should give him the pick me up he needs

Definitely looks like a stroke. Just like the posters in hospitals where they tell you to immediately notify staff if you see a face like that.

[–] peaceful_world_view@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

I don't ever want Trump to be assassinated, I want to watch his slow decline to madness in real time.

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 7 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

Seems kinda messed up. Assassination / public execution at least help give others in similar position a reminder that they should not cross some lines.

[–] Natanael@infosec.pub 4 points 14 hours ago

Watching a person fall apart on their own crushes their followers' motivation

What are the chances that two of our last presidents suffered from serious mental degradation and other health issues? There must be a connection. Dangerous mold in the oval office maybe?

Wishing him the worst 🙏

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 10 points 18 hours ago

They say "bad news comes in threes."

So I'm sure it won't happen this week.

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 26 points 21 hours ago

Please just fucking stroke out.
