Is talking about Biden's mental ability the right's latest gaslighting position so they just ignore the sheer insanity of what's going on at the moment and can cling to the their belief that either Biden or Harris would of been worse?
Lol Stav trying a whataboutism but trying even harder to not make it look like a whataboutism.
Sucks to be on the losing team, Stav.
Own it.
Whataboutism on steroids there from the guardian against whataboutism.
No Plum the whole world is the losing team.
Sooner or later even you are going have to acknowledge reality.
Own it.
Biden should never have ran for a second term. He was clearly too old and it was obvious that he suffered from bouts of physical and mental fatigue ( though he absolutely did not have dementia), something that would have only got worse if he won a second term.
But even allowing for that, he clearly would of been a better choice than the present maniac in charge at the moment. Biden would never even in his most confused or fatigued state come up with such batshit economic plans and even if he had the people around him wouldn't have allowed him to enact them.
"though he absolutely did not have dementia"
Amazing how you can be so sure of all your positions...
Biden's corpse would have been better than a 2nd Trump term.
Amazing how you can be so sure of all your positions...
Oh I'd normally refrain from commenting on something like that as I'm not an expert, but I recently just had family member pass away who had been suffering for dementia from a number of years.
With her dementia it was a steady deterioration. She didn't know me for some time before she died. When you tried to have conversations with her, she couldn't remember more than a few seconds and would ask the same question over and over every few seconds. She could on occasion recall in very good detail events in her life that happened many years ago, but at the same time could confuse events like that has happening recently.
Biden on the other hand suffered from the forgetfullness that comes with old age. Some older people suffer from it worse than others. Some days he was particularly bad, some days he was fine. Like he was never a great speaker, and he hadn't been for a long time, but there was plenty of interviews and speeches he gave that were fine after his disastrous debate with Trump, they might not have been inspiring or he may have stumbled over a few words (something he's been doing since the 90's at least) but they show a man with his mental facilities still intact. Someone with dementia wouldn't be able to do anything like that. And the use of teleprompter mean's nothing. I wouldn't be able to give a long speech without one either. I know many youtubers, in their 30's or 40's for example with popular internet channels that use scripts to keep themselves on topic.
Do you really think Biden drove any decision making after the mid terms….his was a Presidency by committee.
So lets get to facts and "not I do not think" and find out what the real situation is. According to the recorded entry register of the WH a Professor from Richmont who is an expert on Altzheimer disease visited the WH at least once a month for the last wo yeas of Biden's Presidency, So Biden suffered increasingly from Alzheimer problems which frove the everdeepeing problems into administrative and ecconomic disaster, At the rate they F ederal debt was increasing and money was stolen fom the Government disaster - which Trump must try to steer away from an inevitable disaster of a total collapse of the US dollar within he next five years. In fact the US Federal Debt is so high that every living US citizen owes the lenders $103 000 dollars,
Fact is the voters knew in what a poor situation they were and voted for Trump to clear up the disastrpus frce the Democats created and now only 27% of the voters favor the Democratic Party in elections. Apparaently the voters in the USA favor the present efforts to save he US Economy from the disastrous Altzheimer Regime of Biden/
Do you really think Biden drove any decision making after the mid terms….his was a Presidency by committee.
Yes, though not all.
Presidency by committee doesn't sound bad right about now.
Oh please . . . Dubya, Clinton, Obama, Reagan, Bush Sr . . . they were all figureheads who relied on committees to make the big decisions. They were all just actors. Heck, Reagan was a professional actor for goodness sake.
Bozo is different. Apart from being a very stupid and incompetent individual, he is also so conceited and narcissistic that he thinks he knows better than the committees or the experts. That's what makes him so dangerous.
I would take a committee of Vervet Monkeys before Bozo.
You never earned the chance to take anything Drinksbreak, you needed the guts to emigrate to earn that,
Moffie, I live in a beautiful country with my own people watching the sports I love like rugby and cricket, having braais in the sunshine and having my children, grandchildren and extended family around.
You're living among Yanks in the sleet and snow, watching baseball and gridiron, eating hamburgers and hot dogs and you only get to speak to your extended family on Zoom or Teams.
The concept of two residences has obviously never occurred to you……but keep talking perhaps you’ll convince yourself you’re not a chicken stayer.
Moffie, you can make up whatever fantasies you want and boast about whatever cars you like . . . but you're despised by your own children. Now that's what I call a loser!
My children and I are fine, but I assume you are talking about your stalking of my family on Facebook….disgraceful.
Moffie, why did you edit your post where you boasting about your luxury apartment, your Ferrari and your Rolls Royce?
Were you bullshitting or were you a bit embarrassed that those are the things you measure success by?
Fuck Rooi, what yhe fuck is wrong with you?
Drinksbreak Is consumed with guilt.
Pakie, you're probably right about Biden being a decrepit, doddering, weak and senile old man but whatever he is and no matter who ran the show with him as the figurehead the only thing that matters is that he delivered and handed over a bubbling economy and low unemployment.
He also kept America safe.
He never disgraced America and he didn't send world markets down a deep black hole.
I was an anyone but Trump and thus far he's proving me right.
The Trump fan club on here come across as jumping over the precipice with him....you're far too smart to be one of them.
Having a nice life on Cloud cuckoo land to Stav, Rooidoos and BB, There was no difference between what the USA was under the Biden farce and SA under the ANC, Malgovernance and corruption was the norm that was drivving the county on a speedy road to bankruptsy - when the dollar will become worthless, With the increase in Federal debts to reach double the amount of the GDP of the USA per year - more than 60% of the USA Budget will have to be spemt on loans and interst payments - which will mean the value of the US dollar will collapse and with it world trade,
Biden was not a President's arse and not knowing what was really happening due to be an Altzheimer sufferer his administration was ruled by Gates and Soros to whom Biden's Cabinet Secretaries - supreme and corrupt individuals as well - reported about administration of the country. That is why for 4 years the country got weaker and disrespect of the US increased worldwide, Thar is why world leaders look up to the USA under Trump to setle the Ukraine and ME situation, since most of thme does not have the means to enforce anything even inside their own countries,
Unfortunately their was no cure for brainwashing impact on people who lost the ability to think for themselves and since BS took over their thinking ability hey have no idea why they became idiots,

Denny, if I was in America, even with hindsight, I would still have voted Trump. The left is a loonie bin that have taken radical policies and ideologies like open borders, DEI, CRT, identity politics, gender ideology way too far, to the point of rewriting objective truths and verifiable history and reimagining discrimination to make it acceptable to their base. There was always going to be an expiry date on that and it's a big part of what made them lose the election.
America is like an out of control pendulum at the moment. It's swung too far unchecked to one side, now it's thundering back unchecked to the other side. Neither is a good thing. Hopefully some semblance of balance will return again, although I doubt it. The power struggle is on either edge, with nothing in the middle to slow it down, and both sides just seem to be doubling down instead of taking a step back to adjust and reassess.
A great pity De Santis didn’t have the brand recognition of Trump. He has been a steady, smart and very successful governor in Florida.
Successful presidents like Reagan and Clinton (before the scandal) campaigned on the extremes but governed from the middle.
Bush and Biden moved towards the extremes, Trump seems to be right of the extremes in his new persona. Obama didn’t govern at all, he was more interested in living the good life.
Trump is another classic case of old men being far less steady than men in their fifties, the right age for a president.
So Pakie, let me get this straight, in hindsight, with global markets crumbling solely because of Trump's doings, you would still vote Trump?
I hear you when you reject Leftists Woke policies and Harris's border zero effect policy and I gather those are your main reasons for rejecting Harris who you also believe to be an empty head.
Not a problem, I hear you....with a rider....with all of the above, short of a world war, Trump has proven to be far more devastating.
He is a dangerous man........I wouldn't ever describe Harris as being dangerous.....and that's where I believe our main difference lie.
He is in the same stream as Bush who in his wisdom changed the balance of power in the middle east by destroying Iraq.
One more thing, for all Trump's bragging about Ukraine's war not happening if he were in power......that's a joke......Putin was playing him, biding his time, waiting to see whether Trump would support Ukraine.
Don't believe me?....well right now Trump is in power and Putin is spitting in his face in the way he's stalling negotiations and adding preconditions.
You can argue that Harris would have done worse......can't see how.
Well Denny, apparently I'm not the only one who feels it's impossible to vote Democrat. Not even most of the Democrats approve of the Democrats at the moment.
In the USA you only have two choices. Neither were good. I would have preferred someone other than Trump, but that was the only option on the table.
But you want to know the best thing? My hypothetical vote changes nothing. It's just a talking point.

The poor old sod was completely out of it in the last period of his presidency. Fluorescent tape on the floor to show him where to go. Makeup artists trying to make him look less like a corpse. Unable to speak without a teleprompter...or with one. Constantly exhausted. And as always the American people were lied to, being told how sharp Sleepy Joe was by Kamala and her cronies. Politics, eh? What a lark.
