The right wingnut media has sold to their public the idea that Biden is senile.

    The right wing echo chamber claims that Biden's "handlers" drugged him on some kind of speed before the SOTU. That's one of the bogus claims on this thread alone. The echo chamber seems not to recognize preparation when they see it.

    I enjoyed watching Darth Brandon.

    If you need to believe that the sexual abuser built his wall ("One of the largest infrastructure projects we've ever had in this country...!") and that the bipartisan bill signed into the law to rebuild the nation's infrastructure is a myth, you can fantasize, of course.

    I'll accept the reality. E.g.,

    Two things:

    1. An age limit is ageist bigotry, imo. As a senior with a sharper mind than in my youth or middle years, I can attest to the failing physical vigor (just you wait ...). However, having observed Goofball Biden for decades, I can also attest to the fact that Joe's mind seems less fuzzy now than it was when he was half his current age.

    2. Airline pilots are required to step down because of loss of physical vigor ... slower reflexes, etc. Nothing to do with dementia.

    If that's a disqualification for POTUS, then isn't Trump equally disqualified?

    Promises are cheap (except Biden's which cost trillions). get back when physical progress is made and inflation comes down.

    So, you did well during the pandemic? Or are you talking about 2017-2019? In which case, there us some truth to that, such as interest rates and the availability of credit.

    You know that old election campaign question that candidates love to use: Are you better off than you were four years ago? Except, this election year, it's an irrelevant question. Four years ago we were in lockdown, with businesses closing all over town and unemployment skyrocketing. Those who still had an income couldn't go out and enjoy spending it. Home sales went kersplat, rents went to the moon, and the prices of virtually all necessary goods from food and clothing rose about 30%, and they'll never come back down, no matter how many other aspects of the economy are doing well. Or maybe because of that.

    Economies have always been cyclical, and now those cycles are global. It seems unfair to place so much blame, or credit, on any president.

    I understand your frustration.

    Which one? Kennedy? Or whoever the Libertarians nominate (which could be Jon Stewart)? I'm genuinely curious, not baiting you.

    Dream on but don't be surprised if your dream turns into long running nightmare for Americans of all races creeds and colors.

    You didn't ask me for proof of anything. You asked someone else for proof of something or other. I was just pointing out that perhaps you now understand how annoying it can be to have to ask so often. It's empathy.

    You are joking yes? Do you need me to give you links to hard stuff like the American bill of rights while I am at it?

    https://www.politico.com/news/2021/04/23/trump-bleach-one-year-484399

    You are right he said disinfectant not specifically bleach - now do you want to let us in on the disinfectant that would kill a virus but not the host?

    Ah so all you've got is a lame one liner which evidence suggests is nonsense.

    Sorry for confusing you with someone else, it wasn’t intentional. I believe this is one of the very few times I’ve ever asked for proof, and the reason I asked for proof this time is because I’ve never seen anyone post it. And when I did a search for Trump telling us to inject bleach I couldn’t find anything.

    Biden stopped it the wall. The failure to complete the wall cannot be blamed on Trump. . And then the democrats were claiming that walls no longer worked. They could never really explain what modern invention prevented walls from working, but they held onto that piece of fiction.

    Nothing has been built yet. There are still hurdles to slow or prevent accomplishment. For example, the low unemployment Biden is bragging about also means that added construction workers are not readily available. We are already seeing the result of many of the people who have left employment during pandemic have chose not to go back to work after the pandemic was over. Then inflation has eaten into the cost of building anything.

    You're right. Fewest interviews by a president since Reagan, I think I read that somewhere. I'm fine with that. I prefer the boring ones.

    There is this:

    https://rollcall.com/factbase/transcripts/

    Public speaking isn't the same thing as a one-on-one interview, but he goes off script enough to tell that he's not just coached. My point is, aside from those times when age and fading vigor loosens his control on the old stammer, the man does know how to speak, and to think on the fly.

    How many are accompanying him to court? Not even Bevis and Butthead are there. Melania is MIA as are Ivanka and Jar Jar,

    He didn't tell anyone to inject anything. Period! He was speculating on possible treatments. You guys ran with this stuff the same way you did with 'don't say gay' and 'fine people on both sides.'

    Yes, I acknowledge that the multiply-indicted cult leader's recidivism is a scary possibility for the nation.

    Those who saw the sexual abuser performing up close take the peril quite seriously.

    Fewer interviews may also mean he is concentrating on the job not his public profile
