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 hate Trump, but this seems like a relevant detail buried all the way down at the bottom of the article.

One reporter had an alternate take. Julia Manchester of The Hill wrote, "Trump did not confuse Pennsylvania and North Carolina here."

"He is addressing a group of supporters from North Carolina who are at his rally in Pennsylvania. Before this clip he says 'I have another group from North Carolina. We love North Carolina,'" she added.

That sounds like an implausible excuse. Has anyone confirmed there were North Carolinians there?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Has anyone confirmed North Carolina? Seems pretty suspicious to have more than one Carolina.

Someone ask him about it and get him to double down

The state he's in is decay.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

Q: What state was he in?

A: A fugue state.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago (1 children)

As if he hasn't done this multiple times while he was president.

It wasn't that long ago.

How the fuck do people forget?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

His supporters don't care what he says or has forgotten or whatever. They're just all in on Trump.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago

He was mentally challenged 8 years ago. What the fuck are they expecting? That he’ll learn to read all of a sudden?

The cult still culting about cultfully?

Dementia DonOLD the weird racist rapist with 34 felonies is too old. The dementia is really taking its toll on him. He should drop out and seek treatment. It's just embarrassing at this point.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Opens mouth and words fall out, now his brain is gone. Think the glass hit the off switch to an already underdeveloped and over worded organ.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Is the dementia getting worse this year? I don't think so. To some degree, he has always been this way. Revolutionary war airports and such. Trumpanzee cultists have just not been listening in prior years.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

To an authoritarian, the only true crime is weakness, and this is the first time that Trump has been truly weak since he came down that escalator. They may start talking about his mental decline, but the decline they really care about is in the polls.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

It's always been bad, but also doesn't stress usually make it worse?I'm sure he's more stressed than ever, since if he loses the election he almost certainly goes to jail (assuming he lives that long), and it certainly looks like he may potentially lose if everyone gets out and votes.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago

its just more obvious when joe biden isn't there to take all the slings and arrows

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

That pic of him. Bet he gives a real toothy blowjob.

Pretty sure he takes the dentures out to suck off Putin.

"HEYYY YOU GUYYYSSSSSS!!!!!"

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Oh man, don't compare Sloth to that pile of garbage. We know Sloth cares.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

This was the pic I needed after a shitty past couple days, thanks!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Believe me, I hesitated, but look at them side by side, it was just too close. Now imagine trump with his actual hair (or lack of hair) and it's uncanny.
