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!

Or RFK-style brainworms from eating a raccoon dick.

or cordyceps fungus slowly zombifying him. With any luck he'll be climbing the white house by the end of the week to bloom so a bird eats him.

The evil fat orange man archetype.

Lynch really made the Harkonnens appropriately horrific, better than the new movies in this and some other aspects IMO.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Is that a young Gordon Ramsay in the back?

[–] kat_angstrom@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Pretty sure that's a young Nathan Fillion

I thought it looked like Nathan Fillion

Edit: I should read the comments before I post 🤪

If you look at the report they published Trump is listed as being 0.3 BMI points away from counting as obese which is hilariously convenient. On his blood analysis they even put his cholesterol levels as being normal when he's an obese 80 year old that barely exercises.

[–] ji59@hilariouschaos.com 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Barely exercises? He plays golf daily!

He's not obese, he's morbidly obese, even by US standards constantly being changed.

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Cholesterol could be ok, it's about 90% genetic.

That seems like a completely normal amount of medical specialsts needed for a routine checkup.

/s btw

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

Next time I go in for my physical I’m gonna ask where my other 21 physicians are.

Seems legit. I think he's probably fine.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 weeks ago

He needs to see Dr. Kevorkian, too bad he died.

[–] Hayduke@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I'm pretty sure it was just Dr. Pepper, but one of the flavors couldn't make it.

That ear is in pinnacle condition though. Must be what they’re referring to when they talk about his health. Not a blemish in sight.

Whatever he's got, I hope it's really painful.

Try not to get any more doctors on the way to the parking lot!

They're doing studies to see how he's able to be so healthy.

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

22 specialists just for checkups. It must be nice to get that kind of medical care in America. Especially for free.

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 weeks ago

Even if it was free to us plebs, having 22 specialists look at you for a "regular checkup" wouldn't primarily be an indication of how great the medical system was.

Wishful thinking 😉

Nobody wants their name and medical career attached to this bloated walking corpse.

[–] dizzle18@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Seems a bit excessive to have that many doctors present just to tell you you're dead within a year. Maybe they're all there to take bets on what finally takes him out. Will it be his heart? A stroke? Choking on a Big Mac? All of the above?

[–] BeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Definitely going to suffer a massive coronary event in the next 2-3 months I bet. He's actually stressing out because so many hate him, even amongst his former base, he thought a war with Iran would be easy, his own party and base are starting to realize this isn't good. Add in what we've seen and heard of his medical issues, his ticket is about to explode.

More doctors than anyone! Everyone is saying it. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 weeks ago

More doctors at checkups, more dementia tests, and more medical visits than anyone. He truly is the healthiest person there is.

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

I hope he dies soon.
