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.
- 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.
- 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!

Do they really expect their orange beanbag leader to still be alive in four years? And if he still is, to still be able to know his own name or speak coherently in public?
Even if he survives, he's on the mental decline, so he needs to be replaced with someone.
He only needs to stagger over the four-year line before dropping dead, and Republicans get to stay in charge for four more years.
For four more years, so far.
Actuarial tables for an obese guy of his age reckon 50/50 chance of making it to the end of his term. Of course he has access to better healthcare than most.
They'll prop his bloated corpse onto a metal pole to put behind glass as they continue to run things while their dear leader 'rests and recuperates.'
Better health care but I gotta imagine day to day odds aren't so hot for a dude who's on a diet of McDonalds and Diet Coke. Kind of surprised he's made it to 78.
Seems there are some people who can subsist completely on hate and cruelty as if it powers them, and they outlive us all. Just more evidence that this is all just a cosmic joke.
I can see him possibly making it that far ... but I really don't think he'll be making much more sense the older he gets. He could live another 20 years, it doesn't mean he'll have all his marbles.
Have you heard that dipshit talk? Making sense isn't what his followers want from him; his word-salad just needs to come sprinkled with the occasional slur.
Technically, no need for him to even add a slur, his face is a slur.
It won't be a test of how much he can continue to make sense
It will be a test to see how far his supporters will be willing to ignore how stupid he will become
You shouldn't misunderestimate them
Nothing we've seen so far indicates that that limit exists.
“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
― Albert Einstein
I don't think the outcome of that test will be good.
He’s already short a few marbles, and the cult only seems to like him more for that.
My guess is it's for the next guy
They know it has no chance to pass. It's with straight up boot licking, or they think they have a plan to bypass the amendment process.
