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!

I read the headline earlier, with no picture, and thought yeah he always looks like a bloated orange monster that tracks.
Actually seeing the pictures all I can think of is the training I did on FAST, literally the F is for face drooping, that old mother fucker is having a god damned stroke...
It is even clearer in the video footage. A single picture could just be him grimacing in a single frame, but the video makes it clear that the droopy face is his actual resting face, which it wasn't before.
The hamberders are finally catching up to him.
Strokes took out both my parents. Come on stroke, you owe me. I'll undoubtedly go out the same way.
Relax, it’s just a stroke, guy
Just havin' a lil stroke calm down
"Just a series of mini-strokes"
It won't negatively affect his cognitive functions. Those are long gone.
Just another Thursday Stroke, don't mind him! 👍
High volume activity and movement after a stroke pretty much guarantees a secondary event. Just saying.
If you're going to get 3 billion people's hopes up, you better be fucking right
With the AI editing of his Charlie Kirk message and this, with the weekend disappearance the other week. Yeah, it looks like it more and more. Trying cover it his failing health.
"Pictures of Trump renew questions about Biden's health"
Biden could post a video getting his own mail from the end of a reasonable driveway as a display of superior health at this point. L
Don't tease me.
It's ok he had it a few weeks ago
We always have a bottle of Pinot Grigio sitting around so we can spontaneously celebrate.
If this mf dies, we need more wine.
Botulinum Toxin overdose.
C'mon man, just lay down and go off into that great night. You'll be at peace
Well, if there is an afterlife, and any belief systems about it are true, he'll be burning eternally and providing an eternal source of entertainment for devils, or getting reincarnated thousands of times as a cockroach that gets stomped on every time.
We can call him Droopy Donny now right?
Doubt he lives to the midterms.
Hey! .... maybe the stroke might just mellow him out and he might not act so strange or say such terrible things
Evidence shows brain damage tends to make people even LESS empathetic and thus MORE fascist.
Case in point: Fetterman
As rare as that possibility might be, that'd be really cool to see/hear!
This is not an actual stroke right?
He had an Adderall stuck in his tooth.
When is that orange mask NOT droopy???
It has not been like that before. If you watch the video footage you can clearly see his resting face being completely different to what it used to be.
Bell's palsy. I am fairly certain it is not a stroke. Sorry to disappoint.
The diagnostic difference between Bell's palsy and facial paralysis due to stroke is that Bell's palsy gets better in a few weeks. The only way to know it's not caused by a stroke is when it goes away, or if scans and other diagnostic techniques to detect a stroke show that none has occurred (in which case it's more likely but not certain).
So where do you get your fair certainty from?
