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!

Just have to keep reminding self that his days on the media menu are shortening

there's no way this guy didn't have a stroke

But he specifically said he didn't have a series of mini strokes, when nobody had asked. Claimed he was getting ahead of a rumor he said everybody was spreading when nobody had ever heard it.

I think that clears it up.

He's going to be a handful for his handlers when the big one hits him and his face drops on one side and he is only able to move about in a wheelchair

There will be a Q drop saying that his stroke was just pretend, and all part of a brilliant Trump plan to take down the Libs.

The Maggots will widely cheer!

what rails?

Man, his frontal shots are insane. There was some cringe screenshot of a tiktok from his official channel on Lemmy and it was the first time I've seen him looking just like that, and then more and more in the last week or so. It's amazing how this angle changes him. Like a masterfully carved statue or a theater mask akin to Hannya, employing a visual illusion to change the perceived emotion by tilting it. Central Don isn't an orange hitler previous photos shown to scare dems into voting, now he's a balding baby in distress, and I want to see more of that as article covers.

You have to wonder why he's doing that, since he's so image focused. My guess: he's freaked out enough by the prospect of losing that he's just trying anything to see what sticks

Or that the policy in the media changed so all unlucky angles that were previously known as undesirable to every photographer are now allowed and even encouraged. It's free for all to bash the cheeto. Not in a side shot, catching his ear, but right in his eyes.
