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!

It's becoming increasingly clear that this election isn't Harris vs. Trump, it's Harris vs. Vance; Trump is just Vance's front man / advertising platform.

I suspect he's in it only as a ticket out of jail.

I was hoping Harris would start rumors that the RNC was going to get Vance to stand in for a presidential debate since trump is too old.

His handlers cut it short because his diseased brain had him rambling about how unfair Harvey Weinstein was treated.

Where's the conspiracy theories about Trump being replaced with an AI now that he ain't showing? It only.took one phone call from Biden to do that. Rubepublicans need education more than they will ever realize.

Trump-supporting rapper Waka Flocka Flame was offered up as an alternative, those two people say.

...

I mean at least they're promoting a replacement who can speak more coherently.

What I've been hearing is that Vance and Peter Thiel are running things behind the scenes because Trump's brain is so cooked

[–] BrokenGlepnir@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Doesn't he look tired

[–] Fixbeat@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

Cmon Trump, plenty of me time for tweeting and golf once the election is over.

His family should put him in a home
