To think how on earth can Biden be President

That’s what I thought and tried to turn it back to politics, but seems it’s just a slagging each other off platform.

This could be an interesting thread if people stopped derailing it with childish insults.

Apparently it's evolved from German, or something.

Are people actually mocking the way others talk now? If that's the best anyone can do that's embarrassing.
This thread is pathetic

Yanbu. I think he's gone downhill a lot since he was elected. He was ok a few years ago.

If the Democrats don't shape up fast with a better leader then Trump will get in again. Why isn't Harris stepping up?

I don’t understand enough about American politics, but surely it cannot be simply only trump or Biden?

biden clearly has significant cognitive impairment now. Plenty of people in their 80s are not impaired and fully functioning, Biden is not one of them, and where as a slow decline was apparent before, it is very clear the man’s memory is rapidly declining, and as such he is not capable of being in office. Not for much longer and arguably shouldn’t be there now.

and I don’t even know where to start with trump.

are they simply unable to field another candidate other than Biden? Surely the two choices cannot be an elderly criminal sex offender or a man with signficant cognitive impairment?

It is sad to see anyone with memory loss. Not the first President as towards the end of his second term Ronald Reagan had similar issues.

If only the alternative was not Donald Trump.

It's not ideal but someone has to stop Trump. If trump is reelected he will end democracy, destroy any remaining women's rights and roll back any environmental legislation to the detriment of the whole world.
Boden is a forgetful old man but still on the ball in many ways and 100% whereas Trump is the polar opposite.

He’s an excellent President doing an incredible job.

yes he’s old, but try getting trump to speak sense on issues that matter. Not possible. Trump seems like he has no memory issues because all he talks is horse shit. He’s conditioned the world to expect horse shit from him. Don’t need to make sense when that’s all you got = horse shit.

I see your “meeeer” and raise you “alooominum” 😂😂

There are a lot of seriously wealthy people in the US. Harvard churns out lawyers by the cartload. Surely one of them could have a crack.

Seriously, "fuck- simple of y'all" what does this mean?

Where are they??

They're either shooting at each other, taking fentanyl, or working for 14 hours a day to pay their rent and healthcare.

It's pronounced PEE-cun.

It's never Puh'KAAHN in a million years.

Oh, and Americans can't say "mirror" properly either. "Meeer". Nope. 😂

To be fair to them, you used "enquire" in a prior post, when "inquire" is considered more correct in American English. So you did use a "Briticism."

As far as why the Democrats have ended up with Biden who is so over the hill - maybe it's because he is the kind of candidate who gets the job because everyone knows him, he's been around forever, and there is no worry that he will do anything unexpected or untoward.

They don't really seem to love unknown quantities. Obama got in despite being a relative outsider, because of his personal qualities and to some extent symbolic qualities. Not everyone in the party elite was very happy about it. With Clinton and Biden they had people who would always do what was expected of them and were fully beholden to the party elite.

Someone like that is unlikely to be very young. Clinton was somewhat younger of course, but not really young either.

You ok, hun?

I just can't understand why Americans want geriatric presidents.

This is what I can never understand. I mean 2 Bush's. Almost 2 Clintons. Now 2 old farts - one can't remember what day it is and one who is a paranoid lunatic. Where the hell is everyone else?

What does, "fuck- simple of y'all" mean?

I heard Biden talk a few days ago he was so confused it was painful to listen to, I felt so sorry for him. A man who has been a great politician. I happened to have the news on yesterday when it reported his live press conference he sounded completely different then suddenly you can tell he is getting confused again why was Mexico being mentioned. Yes the journalists were shouting over each other but this so what all leaders have to deal with

Trump has also slowed down and at times has seemed confused but he isn’t held up in such high regard he is a personality not a politician his supporters won’t care Bidens will

how on earth is Biden going to manage the campaigning when it really gets underway it is absolutely relentless

what fools the senior democrats have been it was no secret that Trump would run again or that he has a huge amount of support

What does 'Y'all' mean?

LMAO. As who says?

Surely emojis are what people use nowadays

This is what I don’t understand, where are all the youngsters, y’all?

I was shocked by Trump, and very invested in the 2020 election. Now I just think they’ve made their bed so now they will have to lie in it, and I hope the rest of the world escapes unscathed.
