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!

ABCNews, subsevient to fascists, using a months old picture to avoid bringing up his recent cardiac episode or blood coming out his - wherever.

That photo was taken today (Wednesday, September 3, 2025) during this press event https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZ-nNZ5G6g8

Good point. Sadly, that’s the only part I got wrong.

The only thing you got wrong was... the one and only statement you made...? Okay.

ABCNews, subsevient to fascists

wait are they actually lying? they say the photo is from today. is that straight up a lie?

[–] theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 25 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

No, this commenter is spreading misinformation. The photograph was taken today, Wednesday, September 3, 2025. Here is a stream that was live from the press event that the photograph was taken during: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZ-nNZ5G6g8

Trump is wearing the same suit, tie, pin, and makeup in the photograph and the stream. You can judge for yourself how healthy or not he looks from the video.

thank you

but using an ambiguous date format in a discussion about when something happened is an interesting choice

Sorry, I made the interesting choice to forget to include CE after 2025, so it's ambiguous if the year is before or during the common era.
