To think how on earth can Biden be President

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

I wonder how much input his wife has.

Someone over 80 shouldn’t be running the country. Both Biden and Trump are in my opinion too old to take on such a role. Surely there’s some better candidates?

No, we corrected with Biden.

How's your leadership going since?

Did you?

Because it feels that Trump is seen now as Biden's correction.

Scary.

Has he had test for Alzheimer's? I thought a US President had stringent health checks?

CheesecakeandCrackers · 10/02/2024 10:41

I'm really disappointed that Biden hasn't brought forward a succession candidate over the past couple of years. I had understood that was one of the indications he gave when taking up the bid. I'm a fan of Kamala but I can't see great efforts have been made to line her up as the next candidate nor to suggest an alternative. Perhaps that's the reporting I see rather than the reality? Would be interested to know how she is perceived in the US. I'm not a fan of Biden and gutted that we're going to see this rerun at the next election.

Agreed.

Hard to believe that out of the millions of people in the USA, the system spat these two out as the two most likely to lead.

Biden should step down and campaign for Harris IMO.

Trump should return to the rock he crawled out from. It's fucking terrifying that so many people support him.

WeaselCheeks · 10/02/2024 10:44

Both Trump and Biden seem to have cognitive issues, although Biden seems to be better at hiding them (and Trump's seem far worse in addition to his abhorrent personality). Really though, if the US Presidency has a minimum age of 35, it really should have a maximum, of maybe 65 or so.

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.

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.

He's FAR more capable than most of you.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 10/02/2024 11:01

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 ...

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!

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

Trying to stem the tide of misinformation, though I admit I'm glad y'all can't vote - we have plenty of useless idiots in the US. :)

ChardonnaysBeastlyCat · 10/02/2024 11:18

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.

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.

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.

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.

Edited

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

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.

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?
