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!

Ah yes, the monthly "Trump is senile" post. Been going since 2016.

Should we meet back here in another ten years when he's on his fourth term without consequence or care from anyone in power?

He’s an overweight, burger loving, guy whose idea of exercise is a golf cart.

The odds of another 10 years aren’t in his favor. Although he has a track record of defying the odds. Maybe he’ll file years of appeals with the Grim Reaper.

I'm convinced he's made a deal with the devil to never face consequences for anything, maybe that includes no health consequences

In my personal experience, hateful and truly evil people tend to live longer. It's truly a shame, because the good always die young from shit like cancer in their thirties despite good diet and excercise and people like Trump will live the most sedentary and unhealthy lifestyle and then live into his nineties with no ill effects. Something about the nastiness and the hatred just sustains them out of pure spite.

But what be in for the devil in that?

Evil is rampaging across the country, the worst people in the world are being given positions of power, hate and racism are being made into policy and the people you hate most who scream about race are being given uniforms and guns and concentration camps, the Epstein-patrons are celebrating, there is a sweeping movement across evangelicals pushing back on empathy and Christian values broadly. Human rights are being taken away, as well as basic services like healthcare, food and housing for the poor and families are being torn apart without consequence.

I'm not religious but if I were and watching all of this, I would probably believe that a deal was really struck or that this was all some kind of Revelations prophecy.

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 8 hours ago

I am not religiouse either but we are talking about christian mythologie and spreading evil wouldnt be a goal for the devil nore any of his underlings. A free society would theoreticly create the most sinning if you think about it

The resulting heap of shitty marbled long-pig

The preservatives he consumes are at risk of pickling him for eternity.
