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!

Biden appeared almost 10 years to the day after he was a guest on the first “Late Night” show with Meyers when he was vice president in 2014.

President Joe Biden made an appearance Monday on "Late Night with Seth Meyers," where he answered questions about topics ranging from his age and the Israel-Hamas war to the conservative conspiracy about Taylor Swift.

The interview comes almost 10 years to the day after Biden was a guest on the first “Late Night” show with Meyers, which aired on Feb. 24, 2014, when Biden was vice president. It also follows a decision this month to skip a Super Bowl interview that had a much larger audience.

During Monday's Q&A, Biden was asked early on how he addresses voter concern over his age.

“Take a look at the other guy, he’s about as old as I am," said Biden, who at 81 is four years older than former President Donald Trump.

"It’s about how old your ideas are. Look, I mean, this is a guy who wants to take us back," Biden added, pointing to Trump's positions on abortion rights, which he suggested were outdated.

Can't wait to see if the negroni encased in a giant fake ice cube was the climax of that bit or if there's something even more delightfully unhinged waiting for us.

Do you have link to the full interview?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago

Don't think they've released it to stream yet, they usually post to YouTube some time the following day

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

2014 was 10 years ago already? Dang. Remember to go out there and live life.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


President Joe Biden made an appearance Monday on "Late Night with Seth Meyers," where he answered questions about topics ranging from his age and the Israel-Hamas war to the conservative conspiracy about Taylor Swift.

During Monday's Q&A, Biden was asked early on how he addresses voter concern over his age.

Look, I mean, this is a guy who wants to take us back," Biden added, pointing to Trump's positions on abortion rights, which he suggested were outdated.

Pressed by Meyers about calls for an immediate cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war, Biden said, "There is a path forward, with difficulty," and he commented on the ongoing hostage situation.

Biden made a similar remark before the interview aired, telling reporters in New York, “My hope is by next Monday we will have a cease-fire."

In a more lighthearted exchange, Meyers asked Biden about whether he was involved in an "active conspiracy" with Swift after a conspiracy theory on that right claimed the pop star's relationship with Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce was manufactured to boost Democrats in the 2024 elections.
