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!

I hope he dies soon.

Or RFK-style brainworms from eating a raccoon dick.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

or cordyceps fungus slowly zombifying him. With any luck he'll be climbing the white house by the end of the week to bloom so a bird eats him.

He's already been zombified with his dementia.

That ear is in pinnacle condition though. Must be what they’re referring to when they talk about his health. Not a blemish in sight.

[–] santa@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] partofthevoice@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

Ah, didn’t catch that. I thought it was pointing out the lack of bullet scars on the ear.

Weekend at bernies

The evil fat orange man archetype.

Lynch really made the Harkonnens appropriately horrific, better than the new movies in this and some other aspects IMO.

If you look at the report they published Trump is listed as being 0.3 BMI points away from counting as obese which is hilariously convenient. On his blood analysis they even put his cholesterol levels as being normal when he's an obese 80 year old that barely exercises.

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Cholesterol could be ok, it's about 90% genetic.

[–] LavaPlanet@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Even if he had genetics on his side, his cholesterol would be sky high.

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

No, My dad was over 280, mid 70s, lived off of fried chicken sandwiches and subway. Had normal cholesterol...

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

He's not obese, he's morbidly obese, even by US standards constantly being changed.

[–] bw42@lemmy.world 53 points 2 days ago (2 children)

That seems like a completely normal amount of medical specialsts needed for a routine checkup.

/s btw

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Is it routine to have checkups like every month and a half?

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

Next time I go in for my physical I’m gonna ask where my other 21 physicians are.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 17 points 2 days ago

Whatever he's got, I hope it's really painful.

[–] Wytch@lemmy.zip 31 points 2 days ago (11 children)

Let's see here, I got the list... Dr. Lao, Dr. West, Dr. Caligari, Dr. Kimble, Dr. Venkman, Dr. Moreau, Dr. Lecter, Dr. Jeckyl, Dr. Zhivago, Dr. Zaius, Dr. Feelgood, Dr. Giggles, Doctor Sleep, Doctor Who, Doctor Strange, Dr. Pepper, Dr. Dre, Dr. Zoidberg, Doc Holiday, Doc Savage, Dr. No, aaaaannnnd... Dr. Evil.

Seems legit. I think he's probably fine.

[–] jode@pawb.social 3 points 1 day ago

Dr. Venture

What about that doctor Bugs Bunny is always greeting?

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 days ago

He needs to see Dr. Kevorkian, too bad he died.

[–] Dultas@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago
[–] Hayduke@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Dr Nick Riviera. “…the red thing’s connected to my - wristwatch. Uh oh”

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

" if you die...you don't pay!"

That's serious commitment.

That’s a lot of gynecologists.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

Need some for the neckgina.

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

22 specialists just for checkups. It must be nice to get that kind of medical care in America. Especially for free.

Nobody wants their name and medical career attached to this bloated walking corpse.

[–] dizzle18@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Seems a bit excessive to have that many doctors present just to tell you you're dead within a year. Maybe they're all there to take bets on what finally takes him out. Will it be his heart? A stroke? Choking on a Big Mac? All of the above?
