It’s outrageous. Wtf are the democrats playing at?! They are gifting this to Trump. Biden and his ego need to go.

Just unbelievable that in a country with millions and millions of people - the ONLY people in the race are these old men??

I seriously dont get it.

My dad had dementia, and to see the same vacant look in Biden's eyes that I saw in my dad's is heartbreaking. His family are so cruel letting him be a laughing stock.

I appreciate our electoral system more too, we’ve had some deluded politicians but thankfully it is easy to get rid (Liz Truss for example). Biden is elderly, he cannot cope or perform in the job and it is embarrassing. Zelensky handled the disrespectful comments well, I guess people make allowances.

I have handled a similar situation years ago, when my elderly grandmother would not give up driving although she was no longer competent due to declining brain function. Sometimes someone needs to step in and take charge for the sake of everyone.

It’s a disgrace that a country with the huge power and influence of the States has a President in cognitive decline. For whatever reason he’s not fit for purpose. What a fucking insult to all Americas allies, a gift to Trump and a danger to the world.

it's sad that under so much pressure to perform his speech impediment is exacerbated.
it must be a horrible feeling to be under so much scrutiny bless him for even being able to have normal social graces and maintain his composure.
that being said i believe there should be an age cut off maybe 75, a country as big at the usa should have zero difficulty finding bright politicians who have maturity and wisdom by 75.

Oh god 😳 the amount of times I think about when Trump does this , but this is slightly worse given the circumstances.

Americans are in an awful situation being let down by both parties in this race. The democrats must surely come up with a better alternative or there’s a real risk Trump will get back which would surely be a disaster for NATO? Dangerous times no?

He wasn't very well supported as a candidate to begin with, lots calling for him to be replaced. I really don't think he can come back from this mistake...

Funny? Honestly just grow up

Someone needs to stage an intervention.

It's getting to the stage that it's actually cruel to let him continue.

ByCupidStunt · 11/07/2024 23:15

Just seen there is a more grown up thread in Chat about this. I feel mean now for laughing at him.

Well if that doesn’t prompt some action, what will?
