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 I get it, but Biden wasn't crazy. He was infirm. Different vibe.
It was obvious, and Trump isn't infirm. Doesn't seem age related. He's doing the same crazy shit he always has.
Ehhh go look at some clips of Trump in 2015-16 and compare to now. He's lost so much energy and he's much less coherent now than he was then. Granted his speech style was rambly and disjointed back then too, but it's gotten so much worse after 8 years
I'm not really debating that he's old and he's lost a lot, I am questioning the comparison between the reaction Biden received and the reaction Trump receives. I don't think it's hypocrisy. I think the difference between them is stark.
I was one of the people who was concerned when Biden was our candidate and I was so glad when he stepped aside and Kamala became our candidate. Biden was like an Alzheimer's patient who had wandered away from home. I don't mean that lightly; I'm not joking. He obviously has something very serious going on.
I hope I don't hurt anyone by bringing up that disease. My grandmother died of dementia, and it's horrible. I don't throw the term around lightly.
