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.

Trump looking in the mirror:
Why does he just see a giant pair of floating hands?
Wouldn't he be able to see the suit as well?

Young? Harris was born in 1964. The same year that Cadet Bone-spurs turned 18 and got his first deferment to avoid the draft.
Trump is basically a cross between Abe Simpson and Mr Burns.
Leave it to Trump to try and suggest that 79 is "young", rather than play up the wisdom and experience angle. I'm not sure how anyone can support a leader who consistantly denies objective reality in the name of fluffing his ego. But there are a lot of reasons to deny Trump the presidency long before something as relatively small as his hubris. Well, small relative to being a known rapist and convicted felon, anyway.
Let me guess, they plan to push retirement age to 90 or later? Full retirement age for Social Security starts at 67 (since 1960).

Sounds exactly like something a senile old man would say.
Kamala is 60? Wow, she looks 45 at most.
I'd offer up a "Black don't crack" but I think all the time about what 8 years in office did to Obama. They must have a hyperbaric time chamber attached to the Oval office.
Yeah, my husband and I both guessed early 40s before looking it up. I’m sure some of that is down to money and excellent healthcare access, but damn.
She'll need it. This job ages you.
Only if you actually do it. Trump got aged by drugs and hamberders.

Being his campaign managers/operatives must be tricky.
They have to feed his ego. Coming out and acknowledging his age is just not an option, and they can't straight up tell him "you cannot get on a stage with Harris because you will inevitably say something bad that hurts your campaign."
They have to do all that while wondering if he's even going to pay them lol
LOL I'm pretty sure his sycophants gave up on trying to coach him many years ago
He’s probably a man, in at least one sense of the word. That’s about it.
"Behold a man" said Diogenes to Plato as he threw Donald Trump into Platos school. "The fuck it is" responded Plato calmly.
Imaging trump with all his hair plucked out, squawking around a bunch of philosophers is pretty entertaining.

(Tiny) Mushroom maketh man I suppose
He's not so much a man as a list of character flaws
Somebody call the burn unit!
He’s more boy than man, if we’re talking maturity
She raised more money in a single day than Trump, the convicted felon and traitorous, treasonous, lying coward pedophile rapist.
It was her FIRST day, ever, as Presidential candidate.
And it was money raised through small donations. Something like a half million donors were donating for their first time.
Contrast to Trump, who gets an allowance from Elongated Muskrat
Over a million individual donors now, and counting.
That is... well, it sounds remarkable. What are previous figures for candidates?
In 2020, there were only 2 million individual donors, to any candidate or party, for the entire cycle. A million in a weekend is pretty impressive.
