“Let’s remember, he is 78 years old. With so much attention on [President Joe] Biden’s age when he was still in the race, it was overlooked that Trump is just a couple years younger and just as prone, maybe more so, to these verbal slips and confusion.”
What a load of bullshit. Biden had some slip-ups. But he was never full on delusional the way Trump is.
“couple of years younger” or older than Biden was in 2020 when Republicans called him too old…
If you have a tire go flat, a doughnut is better, doesn’t mean you should just leave it on forever because it’s “good enough”.
Biden was better than trump, but that’s a dumb standard.
We should be running the best candidate possible, which means paying attention to what the Dem voter base wants and matching that. Not shoving what donors want down our throats because “what are you gonna do. Vote trump?”. The real answer is they just won’t vote
And low turnout is the only way republicans win.
What does any of that have to do with the comment you replied to or the article?
That’s not what I was talking about at all. The point is that the media constantly focus on Biden’s slip-ups whereas they try to normalize Trump’s obvious madness. It is of course perfectly legitimate to question Biden’s suitability as a candidate and I do believe he made the right decision to step down. But anyone who thinks Biden is unsuitable but Trump isn’t is either a liar or a moron. Or both. It’s usually both. And the media that promote this false equivalence are enemies of US democracy.

Who is “normalizing” trump?
Criticizing Biden made sense because there was a chance Biden’s donors would listen and make him step down
That did work.
Calling for trump to step down won’t work, because his main donors are foreign governments trying to cause chaos, and if he drops out, he’s going to prison.
And that’s not even getting into if trump steps down…
That only helps Republicans and hurts Kamala.
But anyone who thinks Biden is unsuitable but Trump isn’t is either a liar or a moron.
Who is saying that?
Why are you listening to them?
Like, you’re complaining about “the media” but all of them except right wing echo chambers have been saying he’s unsuitable for almost a decade now…
Can you name one serious media organization that is doing what you’re complaining about?
Who is “normalizing” trump?
Can you name one serious media organization that is doing what you’re complaining about?
That’s a link of people claiming it…
Not an example of any major media organization actually doing it…
Like, Vance keeps saying immigrants are eating pets, showing me a bunch of people saying immigrants should stop eating pets doesn’t prove anyone is eating pets…
Does this make sense?
How dense can you possibly be? It’s right there in the link. The New York Times has been habitually normalizing the incoherent nonsense that trump says by completely rewriting his statements to be more coherent.
I don’t think they’re dense, I think they just enjoy arguing with people

No worries, feel free to reply with all your other alts and I’ll block them too.
We’re already not running Biden.
Are you aware of this television program? It’s called “The News.”

“It’s harder to pick it up from Trump sometimes because he’s so loud and has been doing this for years, so we may be numb to it,” he added. “There is a new focus here about his mental capability and fitness for office — certainly one that Democrats are pointing to. These mistakes, the mix-ups are seemingly only increasing by the day.”
We are almost numb…? Well, I’m not. But I don’t watch tv news and rarely see this asshole speak. I just read about it.
Orange man is fucked in the head.
Always has been.
They’re not new questions…
Even during the debate with Biden, as folks were worried about Biden being too old, these same worries were being asked regarding the other guy.
Hard to say how much is dementia and how much is pure narcissism. He’s always doctored past events in his memory to fit whatever narrative he wants to spew at the moment.
When nearly everything you say is a lie, it gets difficult remember the web of nonsense you’ve woven…not to mention making sure it makes logical sense. I think pre presidency he was actually pretty good at it because nothing really mattered and no one was checking his bullshit. Different story today…not that his followers care if he’s lying to their face.
That’s the thing, it sometimes isn’t a lie because he genuinely believes it when he’s saying it. It’s just not true.
Questions about his mental health? Are you fucking joking? The lengths these people will go to so they don’t have to flat out call him a liar is absurd…
Oh maybe he really believes it and he’s just mentally unwell. Feel bad for poor poor aging Trump. Nooo it couldn’t be that he’s lying out of his fucking teeth to manipulate the population! Nooo he doesn’t hold the amount of sway he currently does because of propaganda and a history of lying about absolutely everything. Nooo it’s just poor poor aging Trump… For fucks sake.
He can be two things. He’s a lying piece of shit who is also in rapid cognitive decline.
For real. Every single time I see an article about anything this jackass says, all I can think it “why are we reporting on the words of a liar?” Why are still playing this dumb game as if we can’t read between the lines? Why are we still playing respectability politics as if any of this has been normal behavior of polite society? Can we please just start calling this shit what it is? Why isn’t this headline just “Lying Man Lies Again”?
“There is a new focus here about his mental capability and fitness for office — certainly one that Democrats are pointing to.”
New TO YOU maybe. Corpo newsie. FFS.
“certainly one that Democrats are pointing to” well that nullifies what you were trying to do so - well done. Your republiQan masters will be pleased.
“Is the crowd here with you right now?”
Maybe people are saying he’s the goat like he’s got the mark of the beast?
Or that he screams a bunch and feints at the slightest opposition
A claim by Donald Trump on Fox News that the crowd who attended the debate between himself and Vice President Kamala Harris “went absolutely crazy” when he was fact-checked led to both amusement and new questions about his mental decline on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Thursday.
For the lazy.
Oh… and the late, great Hannibal Lecter was there giving me a standing ovation…

Raises questions? No, it answers questions that we already knew the answer to. He was, and still is, completely mentally unfit, and he’s continually getting worse. What’s left as a question?
