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!

The pedophile rapist piece of shit looks the weakest he's ever looked; his moronic brainwashed followers don't seem to care one bit.

God forbid Biden forgot one word that one time.. it was national news for weeks....

God forbid Biden forgot one word that one time.

The Republicans were on Biden the moment he paused to gather his thoughts or reorder what he planned to say. The guy was no Obama for speaking, but he could stay on-message and deliver a speech, instead of going back to comfy griping or shallow pandering.

I miss Obama's particular soundbyte-friendly rhythm; and the delivery was odd to begin with, but a measured, calm delivery is sorely missed right now. I've listened to the Canadian guy and he's okay, and he can deliver a great talk, but still no Obama.

i wouldnt want a president displaying signs of mental degeneration red or blue. why are you even bringing biden into this?

[–] Soulphite@reddthat.com 3 points 4 hours ago

Because Biden has been accused of health issues during his presidential tenure... and as others have stated, the double standards. Comparisons sake. Of course no one wants a president with mental degeneration, however this pedophile clearly has the worst case in history, in my opinion.

[–] Vieric@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

Because of the blatant double standard. If you have an R next to your name anything will fly, no matter how disjointed or insane, but if its a D, any misstep, no matter the severity, and you are done.

Because Biden wasn't actively demented
