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!

Please be dying, please be dying, please be dying.

Please let Joe Biden outlive this sack of shit.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 42 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I hope his legs fucking snap like twigs under the immense weight of his obese, fascist body.

[–] glitch1985@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

But I just read the other month he's got the same height/bmi as those NFL players?

[–] D_C@lemm.ee 22 points 2 days ago

I am concerned about his health...not being poor enough. Obese piece of shit.

Besides they aren't leg braces, those are the extra strong straps for his shit catching suit he has to wear for when his adult incontinence panties start to overflow.

[–] Sho@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I have never seen the word "concern" used so incorrectly.

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 12 points 1 day ago

I'm concerned that he isn't sick enough.

[–] xenomor@lemmy.world 206 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Whatever it is, I hope it’s painful.

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 37 points 3 days ago

You made me laugh, which when it's Trump news is always a good thing. usually I would want to cry.

Donald Lump.

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I hope Trump lives long enough, that we can Nuremberg Peter Thiel and other leaders of Project 2025. The odds of that go down if the neoconfederates have an effective leader.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 12 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Those fuckers make me wish that Death Note was more than just anime.

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 3 points 2 days ago

I would prefer Akumetsu myself. It is basically if the Punisher and Joker did a fusion dance, and made it their mission to take down corrupt politicians. Luigi taken up to 11.

Health concern doesn't seem like the right term to me, it implies I would be upset if he was ill. Maybe, poor health hope?

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 16 points 2 days ago (4 children)

I'm not concerned that his health is poor, I'm concerned that his health is good.

MAGA is a cult of personality, there is no #2. He holds100% of the power. When he reaches room temperature, there will be a massive insider battle for control, but it will be for naught. NOBODY will follow anyone but HitlerPig himself.

Instead, MAGA will transition to a religious sect, and literally worship HitlerPig as a God, or at least as a prophet.

I'm concerned he might be in good enough health to last the next 3 and a half years

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So he has become too fat for his legs?

[–] fake_meows@lemm.ee 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's not as big a problem as you'd think because they have those scooters at the supermarket. You can ask another shopper to reach stuff on the upper shelves for you.

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago

as long as it's not a scooty puff junior

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 123 points 3 days ago (6 children)

Well, this is better than what immediately came to my mind when I read 'lumps in Trump's pants', at least.

Please let Cheeto Hitler collapse on camera. A pathetic slump would be the perfect bow to wrap all of this in, sooner than later. Cyanide and a self-headshot would display infinitely more conviction and accountability than today's version could ever muster.

[–] wanderwisley@lemm.ee 11 points 2 days ago

[–] collapse_already@lemmy.ml 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ideally, he has a stroke when he sees people protesting his little dick parade.

Come on massive stroke I got a lot riding on ya.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It has to be a stroke big enough to take out Vance and Johnson at the same time, and fuck up the chain of succession.

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Vance suffers an epileptic seizure, shits himself, and bites off Donny Jr.

Trump panics and strokes out; Vance suffocates on the severed pecker.

Johnson goes to call for help, slips on Vance's shit, and falls face first onto Trump's stainless steel buttplug.

Maybe leg braces, but I'm betting it's catheter bags. Taco Don switched from diapers.

Mud flowed up in lump's pajamas
He totally confused all the passing piranhas
He's lump, he's lump
He's in my head
He's lump, he's lump, he's lump
He might be dead

Unfortunately his clothes always fit so terribly so who the fuck knows

It’s probably body armor straps. No way he isn’t scared of being in public.

He doesn’t deserve medical aids. He should beg from the floor.

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 35 points 3 days ago

(1st term) Dude got rushed to a private floor of a hospital, with a dozen doctors on call just for him, when he fucked around with covid and we all bailed him out! For him to then come out and tell others not to be afraid of the virus. From the party looking to take health care away from millions. I mean, where to begin?

[–] breecher@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Isn't it just the stilt system he uses to make himself look taller? Part of the reason why he always stands pointing out his ass like he is about to take a shit in your general direction.

They are officially Weekend at Bernie's-ing him. They have a exoskeleton propping his ass up.

Based on the rule of "it's always projection with these guys", I'm going to conclude elon just did a shitty job on his robot after executing trump.

Speedrunning the decline, when do we get to the "dead in a ditch on fire" part?

[–] Throbbing_banjo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Dead hanging upside down from a gas station awning would work just fine too

So what would cause lower-extremities weakness and urinary incontinence? More mini-strokes, perhaps?

Spinal injuries, diabetes, an assortment of neurological conditions. Honestly whatever else he's got going on, given he's essentially worn heels every day for decades while also obese, I'd put good money that his back and knees are absolutely fucked.
