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 think the obvious and blatant dementia is a dead giveaway. It's incredibly sad that we'd even consider having such a person well into decline in a position of leadership. He should be in a home receiving compassionate end-of-life care.
The entirety of his life choices should have resulted in him dying in a jail cell.
If America still had balls, it would have been at the end of a noose on Jan 7th.
On Jan 6th if they had real ones.
Well, this is what the uninformed, deranged and single-minded 71+ some odd million people voted for. This is who they thought what was best for us.
Trump has done many firsts as president both times, mostly for the wrong things. I think we're headed to what will happen when a president actually dies in office or is in a position where he decayed so much, he has to be formally removed or outright removed from office because he's too incompetent and unfit to run. Not like he was competent or fit to run in the first place. But still.
And so we have learned; he is indeed incompetent and unfit, and America has decided that fealty to the bitter end is most important value.
Arguably, FDR during his 3rd term and Reagan during his 2nd were both possibly in similar situation of incapacitation (Biden near end of his term was also questionable). Neither was removed and the first ladies (Eleanor and Nancy) managed a lot of the work...since that is Melania it could explain the increased speed of Russian benefit actions coming from this administration. Additionally, the cabinet is corrupt and thus has no incentive for removal unless he starts getting in the way of the cabinets' own goals.
They hid Reagan's dementia for years. But, he had a pretty competent group in his administration, not like this trailer park clown show government.
Throw more leaves in the pool, Nancy.
In North Korea
Well, not sure how compassionate it should be. But yeah.
