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!

Ok yeah we get it Biden is an old guy. I fucking forgot the word refrigerator one and called it the big box with the cold food.
I regularly forget things like that. I'm 43 (soon) and I regularly can't pull out words like that or the name of a band that I know their entire discography.
I'm getting tired of this astroturfing. I'd take a drooling Biden who barely knows where he is over anything the right has offered in my life time. Yes, that means I'd take Biden as a drooling idiot over the bushes despite me wishing Jr would come back and run against Trump.
I'm 46. Last year, I was filling out a form and it asked my age. I had to ask my wife. She had to think about it. We're the same age.
I have quite literally spaced on my own name before.
I'm not even 30.
And don't get me started on the words my stutter mixes up.
The other day I meant to say 'metal' instead of 'stone', and I stammered out... 'wood'.
Disconnect between tongue and mind is an awful inconvenience to suffer through.
That sucks. Are you also in charge of a nation?
