American Politics

[QUOTE=EihTooms;2564408]No, I do not know that there are many out there. In fact, that is exactly the one I mentioned and dismissed in my post and likely the only one the "Biden has dimentia!" crowd feels comfortable to share.

It is clearly exactly what I described. Biden realizes he is about to go on a side topic, "teaching" the press how to get things done, decides it is not the time and place for this lesson and merely goes back to the original question, closes it and proceeds to take the next questions that he answers more fully and intelligently than Trump ever did in the past 5 years.

Zero evidence of dimentia.[/QUOTE]I'm sorry but you're delusional. The problem with American politics today is that no one listens or tries to understand the other side. Both sides are consistently wrong however they are also consistently right. However very few people will acknowledge that. I never liked Trump and I don't like Biden. I think 20 years ago Biden was a pretty good Democrat and politician. Today I think he is too heavily influenced by progressives around him. He definitely has dementia just like Trump was way over his head. I will admit that I liked a few of the things that Trump did although not many. I'm still waiting on something that I like that Biden has done but given the short amount of time that he has been in office I'm still hopeful that he will.

Idiot Trump obviously fell for the "Biden has dementia!" BS fed to him by loony Rudy or some other desperate Trump handler and tried mightily to growl, interrupt and bully him into falling into some evidence of it.

But he couldn't do it. Instead, Trump is the one who came off like a mentally deranged clown. Not surprising.

[QUOTE=EihTooms;2564408]Zero evidence of dimentia.[/QUOTE]That is because you do not want to see it. I have an uncle who now suffers from the same form of dementia as Joe Biden. At times he is totally coherent and rational, able to carry on a conversation. At other times he barely knows where he is or what decade it is and may launch into his concern about packing his suitcase for an important business meeting he is supposed to have in NYC the following morning.

There are hundreds of examples of Joe Biden's diminished capacity. How else do you explain his sudden conversion from law-and-order middle of the road Joe as late as 2013 to radical no border, America is racist Antifa / BLM Joe today. American Embassies around the world actually flew BLM flags today. Do you really think Joe Biden knows anything about this? Or knows about the chaos on the Southern border?

And did Joe suddenly wake up one morning with an epiphany on the level of Saul of Tarsus (St. Paul)'s epiphany and see the error of his thinking over 40 years in elected office or is he suffering from dementia and now does whatever his radical handlers ask him to do understanding little of what he is signing and allowing to happen?

And why do his people not allow the questioning of the President? And if you really want to understand Joe's mental condition all you have to do is check his daily schedule and compare it to Trump's or Obama's daily schedule. Biden literally does nothing all day.

But whatever you or I think about Joe Biden, the man, is irrelevant. The undeniable fact is the Biden Administration is the most radical in American History and it threatens the very essence of our democracy. Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion, and the Freedom to pursue the American Dream is on the chopping block. I know you don't see this either.

BTW, congrats on your CA real estate investments. It is good to know that at heart you are a capitalist. 555. The trick now will be holding onto your after-tax savings (wealth). The Joe Biden Administration will be coming for it. Good luck.

Well, then a majority of the American people clearly prefer the actions, words and results of Biden in these past 7 months of senility and dementia than Trump under any condition throughout his entire so-called presidency.

I'm not a Trump supporter I already said that I don't like Trump. Being better than Trump is no way to measure a president. It just makes you look foolish. You wouldn't admit to Biden making a mistake or doing something wrong because you're a grass roots democrat and will blindly support anything that he does. I'm not democrat or republican. I'm a fiscal conservative not a social conservative. Some conservatives think I'm too liberal and most liberals think I'm too conservative. I do however try to listen to viewpoints on all sides and form my own opinion.

Biden has dementia the only debate is how bad it is.

Exactly. Pathetic.

And don't prattle on with the "what has Biden done" BS. Republicans (especially in the Senate) will filibuster everything the Democrats propose, then Republican voters will lap up the Republican "see, they didn't do anything" rhetoric. And no, Republicans don't want bipartisanship. In fact, Biden is Charlie Brown, Republicans are Lucy and bipartisanship is the football.

And if Biden has dementia, how come Donnie didn't wipe the floor with him during the debates? After all, somebody with dementia can't remember where they live, let alone issues.

Face it, Biden hasn't acted like somebody with dementia. Trump, however, acted like somebody who couldn't string 5 or 6 words together to form a single coherent thought.

The first debate especially was a beatdown of the highest order, Trump thrown into full on panic mode.

And if he finds himself in a federal prison in 2024 and doesn't run again there will be another Repub running just as anti American democracy as Trump is but not nearly so stupid as to commit as many unforced errors as he did on the way to dismantling American democracy, identifying, embracing and developing their Party's patented next "Once in 100 Years Disaster!" for the country and the world.

Yes, I know being a better POTUS than Trump is the lowest bar imaginable. But in case you hadn't noticed these low bar Repubs can and do further rig the already pro-Repub rigged system to squeeze out narrow victories anyway despite losing the vote primarily through every Dem voter suppression tactic they and Putin can come up with.

The most important one being voter apathy, the idea that your vote really doesn't matter, might as well not bother.

Which, btw, your classic pro-Repub "Bothsiderism" plays into perfectly and helps the Trumpiest failed Repubs win elections by those narrow margins just as surely as if you marched into the voting booth and punched the ballot according to every Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson and Vladimir Putin wish.

[QUOTE=Paulie97;2564566]And of course do not ever expect these points to be addressed. The first debate especially was a beatdown of the highest order, Trump thrown into full on panic mode.[/QUOTE]Biden just delivered a 20-30 minute speech at the annual Memorial Day ceremony at Arlington Cemerary and he was letter perfect, conveying every nuanced literal and emotional understanding of every sentence, phrase, word and syllable. He read it as all presidents do and I am sure it was at least partially written by speech writers as is the case with other presidents. But it was blatantly obvious he understood everything that was written by him and others and brought as much if not more meaning to the ideas and words on the page and teleprompter as the best presidents of the past.

Oh, he cleared his throat 2-3 times during the lengthy outdoor speech and, naturally, excused himself on the run after one of them. So I fully expect FOX News to carefully edit a 4 second video clip of just the throat clearing and his brief apology to prove to its viewers that "Biden has dementia! And COVID! And now he is on a Dem Apology For America Tour!" that will be brought up and linked here.

And if "sudden conversions" are a sign of dementia then Trump's sudden conversion from openly acknowledging the well documented fact that the U.S. economy does better under Dems than Repubs just in time to ride down that escalator and announce his Repub Party candidacy must have been very troubling to you.

It's like we live in two parallel but opposite universes. Dem tax cuts huh? Where, when? JFK? Trump's sudden conversion to who's (your) well documented yada yada yada. Sorry, no offense, but you lose me with your circular logic. Where did you get your graduate degree in Economics if I may be so bold?
