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!

Donald Trump’s tiredness, recent MRI and hand bruise suggest he may be taking medication to treat Alzheimer’s disease, according to a “curious” California Democrat.

Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove, D-Calif., tweeted that Trump is showing signs he’s taking the Alzheimer’s disease drug Leqembi.

“The Alzheimer’s drug Leqembi:- Is administered through an infusion (for example, through the hand)- Can cause swelling, bleeding, or fluid leakage in the brain, requiring regular MRIs- Can cause tiredness,” Kamlager-Dove tweeted along with a picture of Trump’s hand bruise. “Curious.”

Hope he fucks off this mortal coil soon. Wakes up dead one morning type thing. As is common for octogenarians.

People just die in their sleep

But if you died while you were asleep how do you wake up

I still wonder what kind of experimental medications/treatments he was given when he got Covid during his first term.

They kept Cheney alive without a functioning heart. No way he goes out from something unless it is catastrophic.

Big difference in keeping a brain alive with intensive heart remediations vs keeping a brain alive that's intent on dying from the inside. Ain't no stopping those amyloid prions after they reach a critical concentration.

Yeah but it's not like he actually uses his brain anyway...

Did he really ever have a heart though?

[–] MantisToboggon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

His cardiologist thinks so, Also Eminem.

Again.

This is why, old-as-fuck presidents is NEVER a good idea. Cap the fucking age already! Especially one, that's as insane and corrupted as this asshole.

Rest in piss soon, Donnie.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 days ago

Oh, I do hope it's serious

Dude's 79. Waking up and getting out of bed is a major medical crisis.

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

My great granddad lived to 93 in his own home, fully independent until his ticker gave out. 79 doesn't have to be frail and feebleminded. Of course there's the genetic component but living an active, rewarding life does wonders.

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

I’d think it’s more than just being older. It’s the fact he treated himself like shit. I’m surprised he even made it this long, I think the average age for a McDonald’s face stuffer is much younger than this. Like late 60s for the heart to give out.

[–] ClassStruggle@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

They're propping him up like they did Biden.

That thumbnail is nauseating. It's like a wrinkly suede women's glove smeared with the "cheese" powder from a box of mac and cheese.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I thought it was a misshaped pig’s hoof.

But then it turned out to be just that.
