Just been watching the news about Biden's memory. He really needs to step down IMHO.

Anyone who thinks Biden is the one in charge for the last 4 years is beyond deluded

True enough, and fortunately the US has a huge administration to get the job done, but there's also an expectation for the president to be visible and look how that's working out

At least with the 2020 primaries they had Covid as an excuse for keeping him out of sight, but that won't be happening this time and how he'll get through a campaign is anyone's guess

The glaring thing for me though is that they (rightly) chuck dozens of lawsuits at Trump for stashing confidential documents, but then decide Biden won't be prosecuted - cute, eh? Hmm

Cope harder.

And maybe read the docs.

You're going to lose. :)

We've got young voters - again.

We've got "Swifties".

You MAGAS are fucked. :)

Literally going to come back with an AIBU gloat. :)

Totally agree!

We're a country of fat fucking idiots!

Just laughable when y'all pretend you're better.

I don’t think we do, though. Not at all. Have you read some of the threads criticising the leaders of our 2 main parties, various MPs, the NHS, education, cost of living crisis, how the UK is going to rack and ruin etc. etc? I think you’re projecting your own insecurities about the USA onto us. Trump is deranged, and Biden is too old for the responsibility, notwithstanding the fact that he’s a ‘good man’. I think it’s astonishing that out of a couple of million(?) adult US citizens, when you could have intelligent, vibrant, innovative, motivated, morally upstanding people, you have ended up with the choice you now have - an elderly man and someone with no moral compass. How? You produced Obama, I hope someone else of his calibre will emerge in the not too distant future. In the meantime….

Superlambaanana · 10/02/2024 11:56

@FrannieSaid what has changed in your lifetime that has had a direct impact on you and how you live and can be directly linked to a decision made by a single leader?

Most achievements come as a result of the natural progression of society, collegiate working, cross party cooperation, private sector innovation etc etc. Very rarely, if ever, can a president or any other leader take exclusive personal credit for anything.

EasternStandard · 10/02/2024 11:40

I think this latest thing in the op will likely help Trump and work against Biden

Continually astounded by a board full of people who can't fucking dress themselves without guidance, or feed themselves healthily, or speak up for themselves in any relationship, or face people on a school run, or answer the fucking door, or LTB, or deal with having children and "life admin"🙄, who feel they have a legitimate critique of a seasoned politician, and very decent human, who stepped up when the world needed him.

Grin Grin at the idea that Americans don’t experience any of the above! Maybe you live in Stepford? And as for the USA being in the vanguard of healthy eating……words fail me!

I'm just fine, sweetie.

You do realize that your faux-intellectual username absolutely neuters your attempt at sexism, right?

I'm interested in hearing about what YOU have done to improve the world.

Both younger and older.

Even small acts count. :)

Today, I picked up an empty vodka bottle someone has discarded on the street and let a child pet my dog and it's not even midday yet.

Happy?

Women in America are able to use their voice so hard that they have full control over their own bodies. They couldn’t possibly be sent to prison for seeking an abortion after being sexually assaulted.

Women over here just can’t even comprehend that level of freedom and ambition

I DO hope that was either a typo, or sarcasm, seeing as the situation is exactly the opposite!

WhatsTheUseOfWorrying · 10/02/2024 11:31

What will passionate Biden fans say if Trump wins?

That Trump stole the election?

That Biden was trashed by the media?

That the American people are too stupid to trust?

Or might they say, “fuck me we were stupid putting this plainly mentally and physically shuffling old man up for election”?

The last one’s obviously right, not least because we’ve been told that MAGA is electoral poison, but it carries culpability for the party and its supporters. So it won’t be said.

You seem wedded to the odd idea that people who think Biden is past his best days are all people who support Trump.

Some might be, of course, others are not.

You might be well advised to follow your own advice and apply some critical thinking, if you're so inclined and able.

Where to even start.

After Trump won, and fucked up every possible thing, while grifting, the US was in chaos.

Biden decided to come out of retirement after seeing Heather Heyer killed at the torch-carrying "Unite The Right" rally in North Carolina, and Trump calling them "good people".

Biden STEPPED UP, because he felt he could make a difference. He saw the threat of Fascism. And HE HAS.

She's been ALL OVER the US supporting reproductive rights, AND has traveled to many other countries in support of the Administration's policies. Do you legitimately NOT see any of that in the news?

The WH twitter account promotes her constantly, as does the WH you tube channel. The MSN in the US chooses to ignore her - but she's extremely involved - as opposed to that ghost Mike Pence.

Alcyoneus · 10/02/2024 11:25

Biden was making these kind of gaffes in public before he was even elected in 2016. Yet the media refused to report on it and those in denial refused to see it. Anyone who thinks Biden is the one in charge for the last 4 years is beyond deluded. The guy doesn’t know what day it is most of the time. If you’re still harping on about what a great job he’s doing. Stop. You’re embarrassing yourself.

QueenMegan · 10/02/2024 11:24

I'd rather see Biden in power than Trump. A racist women hating rapist with less moral fibre than Hitler.
It's all propaganda. The big orange gorilla never had a functioning brain to decline.

I have to admire your passion as evidenced by your copious use of capitals.

I think you will find Biden is, he is the laughing stock of the world. He's senile, weak & has destroyed USA with his open border policies which have turned cities into to sanctuary cities. Even liberal cities like Chicago & New York have had enough of all the illegals. Most Americans are fed up of giving billions to Ukraine & not securing USA southern border.

Biden has no clue what day of the week it is, I'll be surprised if he makes it till November. Democrats want him gone, even CNN is now talking about all his gaffes so they've obviously had the memo from the dems to go after dementia Joe. It won't be Kamala she's even more unpopular than Biden. Biden has been a disaster!

Hahaha, no.

That special counsel who wrote the report is a republican. Do we really think his comments were politically neutral?

Of course they weren't neutral; like the countless attacks on Trump - an undoubted pig - it's all political, but even politicial appointees aren't wrong all the time, and Biden's cognitive issues seem beyond dispute

Apart from anything else it's really not kind to foist a sapping campaign onto him and I have to wonder what the hell his loved ones are doing - unless they care less about him than the celebrity?

At least the "It's because of his stammer" folk seem to have given up though ...
