Hope he's suffering from that ❤️
If we're lucky, we might start 2026 with a state funeral~

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!

There will be worldwide celebrations the likes we haven't seen since the end of WW II.
it won't solve our problems though.
It'll solve one of them
There's a bunch of problems derived from the child rapist existence so I'd say it will solve a few.
And will give us satisfaction for seeing a child rapist kick the bucket, that's always good news.
I'd rather see him actually face justice
It won’t happen, he’ll die, he’ll rest in state, and we’ll all try to forget
So do I not fix my car's transmission because I also have worn brake pads and a broken window?
I plan on celebrating that illustrious day, but I do think we need to temper expectations a bit. I am truly not convinced it will actually change much. Trump is a symptom not the mastermind.
Yes, but Trump is the figurehead of a cult of personality and those never survive the loss of their face. There are enough loose cannons and outright insane people within the conservative political sphere that even if there is some kind of secret master plan on what to do after Trump is gone, once the inevitable shitstorm of internal backstabbing starts as everyone desperately scrambles to put themselves at the top it's likely to all go down in flames.
Here's hoping you're right.
The RWA (Right Wing Authoritarian) personality type is notorious about lining up behind a figure they deem as "strong", though. Suggested reading: Bob Altemeyer's The Authoritarians.
So I guess we'll see.
The entire house of cards might not fall, but at least maybe the east wing.
imma get so smashed on soju yall dont even knowww
I've said it before, but when that headline comes through, I'm going to buy a flag pole, a flag, and raise that thing to the top. I'll remove all of it after the half staff order ends, but I want everyone that drives by to know just how I feel.
I do wonder how many of those we may be seeing...
If Republicans and centrists and some so-called leftists and liberals clutch their pearls over it - first of all, FUCK THEM. But, secondly, remind them that the conservatives are the ones that raised the flags for Donvict's inauguration even though Carter was being remembered by having flags at half-mast just prior.
This is the party that lowered flags for that POS of Charlie Kirk. Some people just don't deserve this honor.
I'm just going to do a Grumpy Cat "Good." and completely forget his ass. It's what he deserves, as the most important thing to him is his name and ego. Fuck him.
Famous people seem to die on New Years Eve a lot, although it probably just seems that way cause of cognitive bias. People die every day
The White House previously said that Trump's hand looked that way because he shook so many hands. So, how can they explain it on his left hand? Did he get it from jerking off two horses at once or something?
Jerking off Bill Clinton in one hand, Putin in the other.
Don't be ridiculous. He doesn't jerk horses off. He doesn't do anything for anyone else.
I believe that there is nothing Donald Trump wouldn't do if you paid him enough money.
If Jack helped you off a horse, would you help Jack off a horse?
How? There's only one "Bubba".
He's mainlining Leqembi in both arms now.
They are battle scars from signing all those bigly executives orders and tariffs saving our country from ruin. You wouldn’t recognize them because unlike our brave president, cowardly Joe Biden used an autopen so as to not upset his delicate complexion.
/s
Because the last time I forgot it, I was apparently too subtle for my own good.
Old fuck donald had a mark, P-A-E-D-O.
I do hope it's serious
Biden stepped away from politics because of his waning health. It’s interesting to notice the difference in ethics between codgers
And Bernie is still sharper than both of em combined
Eh, hard to lionize Biden for this when he also overstayed his welcome and pretended to be fit to run in '24 for as long as he could. Kamala was a meh candidate, but she certainly would have had a better chance if she'd been the head of the ticket from the get go... Or, you know, Biden actually kept his promise not to seek reelection early enough that we had a real primary.
When you're going through regular intravenous treatments, using one arm or another puts stress on the local vascular system, so they switch arms after some time to not cause issues.
This suuurrreee looks like he's been getting intravenous infusions of some sort. Probably not Chemo because they'd install a port to prevent this exact kind of problem.
Probably Leqembi for his Alzheimer's, although I wouldn't be surprised if he's regularly having parts of his blood volume replaced or run through dialysis.
Didn't he accuse the left of taking injections of young people's blood?
Every accusation is a confession.
I'm sure you're wrong. He's just switched to shaking with his other hand.
/s
Maybe he's stroking Bubba too hard and injuring his hands in the process.
He was shaking so many hands over the holiday, he was using both hands to do it!
Some people are claiming it's from his Alzheimer's treatment. I had a senior family member who had bruises on and off for decades, people are looking way too much into this. It's like talking about Putin's cancer when they are going to be given the best treatment there is on Earth to treat it.
People are claiming his mental faculties are failing when the truth is he's just a compulsive egotistical manipulative liar who doesn't care about being right as long as he sounds right. He will make bullshit up on the spot so that the ignorant who rely on the flimsiest of social cues will think he actually knows what he is talking about. This is false hope, just like the Epstein files. He won't just topple over, he needs more opposition than he is getting.
someone has syringes stuck in his hand..
