Eighteen percent believe there is “a covert government effort” for the pop icon to help President Biden win re-election, according to a Monmouth University survey.
Biden’s faculties are questionable. Trump’s are, as well. I worry that Biden will not be up to the task, but I also think he’s our best chance of beating Trump.
We need to beat Trump not because he is forgetful or senile, but because he is a treasonous bigot who would (for the second time) seize as much power and money for himself as he possibly can while selling state secrets to foreign intelligence agencies. He’s also a rapist, a liar, a thief, a charletain, a narcissist, and a petulant, violent piece of shit. He cannot be President again. He must go to prison.
Bindens been a pretty damn good president as far as I can tell. He inherited incredible amounts of disfunction and an economy that was predicted to enter a huge recession and yet he turned the ship around. His speech gaffs are explained by his childhood stutter that he has worked very hard to resolve.
He’s 20 years past “retirement” age in a high stress, high responsibility position: it’s good to be questioning if he’s up to the job. That said Trump’s mental and psychical failings are much more concerning and that’s totally ignoring the whole racist, fascist thing.
Yeah, but if Biden has to resign, he has Kamala as backup. If Trump becomes president and resigns due to mental issues, God knows what awful human we’ll be stuck with.
Apparently her and Jared want nothing to do with Trump’s administration if he wins, they haven’t been seen near him since leaving the white House too if I’m recalling correctly.
The Saudis made Jared richer, I wonder what strings that $2 billion had attached to it.
it is good, but all i need to do is watch him do his job to know he is up to it. a thousand people saying “well, maybe he’s not” doesn’t change what i see.
He’s human like the rest of us and we all degrade over time. I don’t gamble but would bet the future of the country that we’re still on the “able to be POTUS” side of the curve rather than the “filling my pockets with cottage cheese because my brain is rotting in my skull” stage. Doesn’t make him my ideal choice for many reasons not directly related to his age but I’ll happily vote for Biden this November.
Additional note because this is the internet and we're allowed to (maybe even supposed to) be pedantic here:
Difference between “faculty” and “facility” since the comment you replied to used one and you’d used another. They’re similar but not the same. I could also be falling into one of these traps.
Yet you still lack an answer to my question. The best you can come up with is “he’s old” therefore lacking in some way. You can’t be specific because there are no specifics.
Correct, I have not identified the things I see as his flaws since I think they don’t interfere with his ability to do the job. Also not the person you’d replied to before.
I think he’s showing more signs of dementia than anyone wants to admit, but my greatest concern is his lack of leadership. We need progressive voices making persuasive arguments and shouting down the narcissism and bigotry coming from moderates.
Biden is not that. He’s spent more time in politics on the wrong side of history than the right one, and even at his best he has never been one to stand on principle and demand action. If he did wake up one day and decide to start fighting for future generations, he’d be laughably bad at it.
His memory, his wit, his gravitas, his voice, his authority, all of it is tied together, and all of it suffers with every gaffe or lapse.
I tried to find an unedited version of his most recent statement, but for some reason it just shows a podium for 8 and a half minutes. The statement begins at 8:32. Watch that, and then honestly tell me you don’t see it.
i agree. it’s why would prefer bernie (also old but i don’t care about that) or elizabeth sanders. both of them willing and able to take on “the system” but especially bernie. biden has done much better than id expected, but he’s not bold in term
erament and he’s no socialist like bernie. that said, he’s also not senile and man, i’m tire of people mouthng propaganda about it with no evidence.
i’ve seen on evidence of biden having questionable faculties. has he tripped? yeah. have you ever done that? yeah. he also has a life long speech impediment. that has zip to do with how sharp his mind is. i go by actions and he’s gotten more done for more people than possibly any president in my lifetime. he responds to current events quickly and on point (tho i don’t agree with him on everything, but so what?) alll ive heard to support otherwise is just that, people saying it. and i first saw it in right wing propaganda.
It’s much worse than that. Trump can’t be president again because he will quite possibly be the last president thr US will ever have, at least until he dies of cheeseburger overdose.
And these are the same people who are questioning Biden’s faculties?
Biden’s faculties are questionable. Trump’s are, as well. I worry that Biden will not be up to the task, but I also think he’s our best chance of beating Trump.

Besides the occasional gaffe and speech impediment please tell me what Biden facilities are questionable.

I’m sure Ivanka would do just fine

Don’t forget misogynist!

John Stewart highlighted a few:

Somebody said today that John Stewart was funnier before he got wrinkles…
See how that works?
No, he really didn’t p9int to diminished B8den facilities

Still no specifics. What are those signs of dementia?
there aren’t any so you won’t get an answer.
Forgetfulness, stammering, awkward pauses, mood swings, and if you didn’t see all of those in his recent press conference, you should watch it again.
Your imagination…

I’ve watched all of these live. I dont need YouTube or TikTok. Thanks anyway. You see what you see. I see one pissed of President

Bernie has endorsed Biden. I’d love to vote for Bernie, but he isn’t running. Biden is our best option.

The overarching point needs to shift to which ADMINISTRATION will work toward helping America, instead of destroying democracy.
The President is merely a figurehead.
a figurehead who chooses a cabinet and sets the tone…
Yes, this is my point…
i’ve seen on evidence of biden having questionable faculties. has he tripped? yeah. have you ever done that? yeah. he also has a life long speech impediment. that has zip to do with how sharp his mind is. i go by actions and he’s gotten more done for more people than possibly any president in my lifetime. he responds to current events quickly and on point (tho i don’t agree with him on everything, but so what?) alll ive heard to support otherwise is just that, people saying it. and i first saw it in right wing propaganda.

Our best chance? Best by which standard?
by the standard of who’s actually running. there are for sure better folks but they aren’t running.
How about “only chance”?
Exact same people who stormed the Capitol
if you watch at video, a lady who went to prison for that is the only one he interviewed who woke up to how dumb it was.
You know it’s the same fucktards.
yes. because that’s part of the same propaganda. in for a penny, in for a pound.
