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!

He's always delivered word salads, but now appears to be more confused. He exhibits strange posturing/coordination with that weird fist pump thing that he tries to do. Ongoing reports of his odor suggests incontinence.

He might be able to whip up MAGA acolytes with angry invective, but he has dementia.

Ongoing reports of his odor suggests incontinence.

Please give me a citation because I do not want to verify this experimentally

Por que no los dos?

The diapers hold more and keep them nice and steamed.

Oh my god. This is our irl wish version of Baron Harkonen

I too would avoid verifying the odor problem. I believe that some concerned Republicans are running the smear campaign about Trump's smearing. To be fair, they don't specify, and he could be incontinent of urine instead of fecal incontinence. He could be incontinent X 2, but that specific sort of information hasn't leaked yet.

It started with someone who worked on set for The Apprentice. It was specifically fecal, and believed to be due to constant stimulant use.

I imagine the constant Big Mac use has something to do with it as well.

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

He lazily wipes with the Big Macs.

Jesus Christmas, what an image!

I couldn't contain myself.
