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

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.

"Doc says I can rub one out whenever I want!"
"No, Donald, he said you could have a stroke at any time"
Just another Thursday Stroke, don't mind him! 👍
"Just a series of mini-strokes"
It won't negatively affect his cognitive functions. Those are long gone.
Strokes took out both my parents. Come on stroke, you owe me. I'll undoubtedly go out the same way.
How did you manage hilarious and alarming in the same post lmao
High volume activity and movement after a stroke pretty much guarantees a secondary event. Just saying.
If you're going to get 3 billion people's hopes up, you better be fucking right
Don't tease me.
It's ok he had it a few weeks ago

I read the headline earlier, with no picture, and thought yeah he always looks like a bloated orange monster that tracks.
Actually seeing the pictures all I can think of is the training I did on FAST, literally the F is for face drooping, that old mother fucker is having a god damned stroke...
It is even clearer in the video footage. A single picture could just be him grimacing in a single frame, but the video makes it clear that the droopy face is his actual resting face, which it wasn't before.
The hamberders are finally catching up to him.
TIA in progress.
The acronym FAST is good to know:
From https://www.mass.gov/info-details/stroke-signs-and-symptoms-act-fast
Face
Arms
Speech
Time
One last thing. It's ted-ed but here's a brain researcher who experienced and analyzed a stroke as one happened:

Maybe Kirk was one of his horcruxes
Fuck, I hope he had a stroke. I hope he's in a lot of pain too. Fucking arsehole cunt.
Hey! .... maybe the stroke might just mellow him out and he might not act so strange or say such terrible things
Evidence shows brain damage tends to make people even LESS empathetic and thus MORE fascist.

As rare as that possibility might be, that'd be really cool to see/hear!
Imagine if he died before Biden
Man, it's annoying seeing a headline starting with "Trump, 79" that doesn't end with "dead".

Doubt he lives to the midterms.
I hope he sees all these types of posts where people are actively HOPING he had a stroke.
😊
That's not so much a "call out" as a "hey, I think the president just had a stroke."
C'mon man, just lay down and go off into that great night. You'll be at peace
Well, if there is an afterlife, and any belief systems about it are true, he'll be burning eternally and providing an eternal source of entertainment for devils, or getting reincarnated thousands of times as a cockroach that gets stomped on every time.
it always amazes me. The republicans claim that they're sooooo christian, but they treat everyone except their inner circle like fucking shit. They claim they are just following the teachings of jesus, but jesus preached looking after each other and caring for others.

We always have a bottle of Pinot Grigio sitting around so we can spontaneously celebrate.
If this mf dies, we need more wine.

He had an Adderall stuck in his tooth.
Literally every 79 year old has already had a small stroke of some kind. TIA they are called. He’s on soooo many meds. Shits his pants daily.
I thought that video they put out with him speaking about Kirk was so weird and somehow wrong. Like AI or edited footage. I assumed it was because the man can’t string together coherent sentences but now I wonder if it could have been health related.
