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!

Maybe he bit his tongue while yelling incoherently at the podium.

Now it's all swollen and doctors can't treat it because he won't stop talking long enough for them to get a look at it.

Second post: I looked up a short clip and I didn't think it was all that pronounced. But maybe it also was more obvious with more exposure. I legit have a lisp, so I have a pretty developed idea about what that sounds like. I think mine is more prominent, or at least was before I learned to subdue it. It's wild when I drink.

I have to say, sorry to you and others like you for being unhinged about it yesterday. I think other commenter was right: we didn’t really know what to call it. I switched from slurring to lisp every other chat message.

But with that said, I do not think it was insignificant. In the beginning, it seemed like just some weird slip up sorta shit. By the end though, I could barely understand what he said sometimes. It got BAD.

I didn't notice anyone getting unhinged, but thanks nonetheless. I became one with my lisp years ago. I used to be embarrassed by it, but once I got it to be a bit less obvious, it became normal and natural to me to have a very slight lisp and was not a source of shame. I even advertised it on my dating profile to take the awkwardness away.

You all have TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME! But also JOE BIDEN STUTTERS!

Perhaps both those fellas are just too old for the job.

Its fun he's like "venezuela is sending all their criminals here" meanwhile on his last day he protected 200,000 venezuelans from deportation.

The reality is that trump sanctions on venezuela lead to large amounts of immigration and locked down control for Maduro and now he's campaigning on another issue he's responsible for by lying about who is fleeing venezuela and why and proposing yet another crackdown on a marginalized group of people.

I thought he got shot on the 👂 ear not his tongue 👅. Although, that would have been perfect 😄. Maybe would have helped him win if he would just shut up.
