politics
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!

What's up with all the glasses here, he's wearing a pair, has a pair by his hands and three on lanyards in an ashtray. Did he not have bifocals or something
Those are for the children so they can't see the wrinkles.
So he can find trumps tiny mushroom
I have bifocals for distance and close up, but the close up is annoying for a monitor, I have to look through the bottom of the lenses meaning tilting my head to see the screen clearly.
I need one pair strictly for the monitor which also has blue light blocking capability. Those are probably the ones in his hand.
As far as the glasses in lanyards go... I dunno. Maybe for visitors who need to read a document who forgot their own reading glasses?
Same. And Rx sunglasses to boot.
Getting old sucks.
They are working on glasses that focus automatically depending on what you're looking at... so maybe those will do the trick.
Oh god yes please!!!!
That would be fantastic. Well, the very best thing would be sight restoration to full normalcy or even better than normal.
Loaners for anyone else who needs to look like they're part of an insightful conversation
I'd like to see people start captioning this deep conversation by the way, LOL.
