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!

I love on they demanded Obama's birth certificate, but he refused to show his financial documents (even though every president has done so) and is keeping a fuckload of very important information that the people needs to know secret.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

it's like he doesn't know what the words "good" or "shape" mean.

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 13 hours ago

The only good shape he can be in is when somebody carves him out with slowly with a butter knife

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

Like what else would they say? Nope he has cancer and Alzheimer's. Won't last the term. Even if it were true, their not going to say it.

They're probably cooking the book, and would release something that may make medical professionals think Trump is either a zombie or a sheep based on what they doctor.

Give them time they have to run it through the A1 first.

Honestly, of all the things he's doing, not releasing the results of his physical are the least worrisome. Anyone with eyes and a brain can see he's not healthy.

[–] Auzy@aussie.zone 36 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

If you look at the places he isn't orange, he's possibly deathly pale too.

Nobody chooses to go orange unless they have something to hide. And he used to be a normal color

Heart problems and such cause people to look grey

[–] Lunar_Voyager@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

The Pinocchio story is outdated. We need a new adaptation for the modern age where the main character becomes slightly more orange and insufferable every time they lie.

[–] Acidbath@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

We have one, it's called Donald Trump. Every time he lies, his penis shrinks.

[–] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

At least it's better than his last term, where his personal doctor said he was the healthiest person ever (using language that clearly came from Trump himself) and the medical records were confiscated by his bodyguard.

Kind of like how he sued his old college to prevent them from sharing his grades - those are definitely the actions of someone who has nothing to hide.

People have made many jokes about his posture, but holy fuck... why does his body lean like that?

[–] El_Scapacabra@lemm.ee 44 points 1 day ago (2 children)

He's such a compulsive criminal that he even defies the laws of physics.

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He's obviously on high heels.

[–] sporkler@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

I wonder if that would show up on a urinalysis?

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 7 points 1 day ago

This picture burgles gravity!

Hopefully Trump ends his time with months of nonstop flatulence and explosive diarrhea

[–] oozynozh@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

that's been an ongoing thing so the end will probably be a continuation of the same

With all due happy respect, fuck you, I came to say exactly that!

Well he's alive enough to continue actively fucking up our country, so that right there deserves a national day of mourning.

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 125 points 2 days ago

I want to hear this from the coroner, not his physician.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Covfefe for everybody!

"For an 80 year old fat fuck that's never exerted himself beyond a brisk walk, he's good."

They are probably audited, like his taxes.

I’m rooting for cholesterol

There's a dead badger up the road that's in better shape than this idiotic ArseNugget.

He's the healthiest man in the world, just like when this came up six years ago or whenever that was.

I didn't realize that "amorphous blob" was even a shape.

Well, a steaming pile of shit is a shape.

The shape of a gummy bear

it usually means, he has high cholesterol, high triglycerides, blood pressure, high blood sugar or close to it.

I doubt any published info will reflect reality.

[–] BigMikeInAustin@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Supposedly it's not manly to be able to lift your short fingers above the height of where your heart is supposed to be. Also, it's emasculating to be seen with your wife these days, apparently.

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 4 points 1 day ago

She's busy complying as little as possible with their prenup conditions

[–] Audacious@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 days ago

Still waiting for the medical records he promised before the election...
