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!

What is this, elementary school? This is news?
Yes, yes it is news.
No former President has ever been brought to trial for a crime before.
A major Presidential candidate who is unable to function is also news.
So we should make fun of his medical conditions and call him a big dumb poopy butt? This kind of dismissive, glib, ultimately humanizing to his follower content got him elected on the first place.
I'm not standing up for him, but goddamn if we aren't repeating history.
No one is making fun of a medical condition. People are making fun of a man, who has made attacking his opponent for being old and tired a central theme of his campaign, hypocritically falling asleep during a fucking criminal trial.
As the article notes, he is selling himself as a strong man opposed to Biden who is old and weak and tired. Any chance the media has to strip that pathetic and empty veneer off is good for the country, especially if it draws more attention to his criminal trial where he tried to bribe someone to help him win an election.
That's not actually in the article.
His followers knew he was a terrible person in 2016. There were literally hundreds of examples of his atrocious behavior; everything from the pussy gabber tape to calling not getting VD in his tomcat days his 'personal Vietnam.'
Calling him a big dumb poopy butt IS pretty funny
Of course it's news! It highlights the fact that Trump cannot pay attention for any meaningful period of time. How can a man who can't stay awake when his future is at stake pay attention when it's our future at stake?
Everything about Donald Trump is news you have to look at it all the time it's super interesting everyone clicks on it make sure you upvote like And subscribe
