    For starters, Biden needs directions on where to stand and how to exit a stage. And then there are the note cards he frequently carries around.

    I think that's last resort. And then he'll go around bragging about how he fooled the stupid judges.

    More tired Republican BS.


    Trump used note cards. So did W. Bush and the presidents before him. Should we worry that Biden uses them, too?

    "There's a long tradition of presidents doing this, and I would actually argue that it is, in the grand history of the presidency, a relatively recent tradition of presidents finding themselves in front of large audiences — certainly in front of the press — in which they deliver comments," Kastor said.

    Even US presidents who had the public reputation of being robust and nimble needed note cards, Kastor said.

    John F. Kennedy, who was able to keep his medical problems, including persistent back pain, hidden from the public, used note cards.

    And before the teleprompter, presidents such as Woodrow Wilson, John Adams, and Theodore Roosevelt, who was the youngest person to take office at the age of 42, worked off written words on a page, Kastor said.

    David Frum, former President George W. Bush's former speechwriter, recently wrote for The Atlantic about how he often prepared "cheat sheets" for the president, who was 54 when he took office and often flexed his athleticism.

    "President Bush had — and has — phenomenal recall of names and faces. Contrary to some negative reports, he had a deep mastery of policy detail. But like everybody in a highly demanding job, sometimes stress and exhaustion overpowered his active mind," Frum wrote, recalling an instance when Bush "blanked" when the president was trying to explain the benefits of cutting top tax rates.

    Former President Donald Trump, who is now 77, has received flack for relying on note cards albeit for different reasons.

    Shortly after the deadly high school shooting in Parkland, Florida, in 2018, Trump met with survivors of gun violence at the White House during which photographers captured an image of the president's notes.

    Sticks and stones.
    I don't know where you got some of this tin foil hat nonsense.

    I didn't attack anybody I just said they're incessant need to only ever refer to someone as a traitor is very telling. The inability to discuss in a grown-up manner is a symptom of not being educated.

    Also some severe emotional turmoil.

    I didn't say they couldn't do it I didn't attack them for doing it I'm just pointing out things.

    How ignorant is it to believe Trump was buddies with Epstein because you saw 1 picture of him at a party with 100s of other people? You know how many times Clinton was on that plane? Not exactly, because the records were DESTROYED!!!! You think if they had documentation that showed Trump flew on that plane 100s of times to go to an island with little girls, it wouldn't be plastered EVERYWHERE?? Want to know why that info isn't OUT THERE ALREADY? Because its FALSE. The people who were on that island consistently are YOUR PEOPLE. The people the MSM doesn't want people to know about. The people our GOVT doesn't want everyone to know about? WHY? Because it's the "wrong" people. The WRONG narrative. ANd we can't have the wrong narrative out there can we=)

    Then certainly you believe Joe Biden is disqualified since it s BLARINGLY observable his mental capacities have fallen far lower than Trumps.

    Because he passed a standard test of his cognitive abilities and no problems were found or because he refused therefor nothing to report

    Have done so and don't see this claimed loss to the point of no longer being able to serve especially vis-a-vis the same for Biden and we even have the FBI concluding the same.

    How is that a measure of mental decline?

    Can't wait to see the defences when the Biden campaign tries to weasel out of any debates or demands they be so restrictive and protective of him they become a laughing stock.

    Donald Trump’s brain glitches are getting worse

    That's just your MAGA opinion.

    In Richmond over the weekend, Trump told his followers that he purposely makes mistakes in his speeches to drive the MSM crazy.

    Minutes later, he was congratulating himself on winning the election against Obama in 2017....

    In my reality (which is pretty far from yours), a man who claims to be a genius isn't going to insult the judge when testifying in a fraud trial of his company.

    To me, that's a clear sign of insanity.

    I call it commercial suicide.

    Are you concerned about Trump because he is going to defeat Biden?

    Have you voiced these concerns about Biden? I mean you should be calling for the 25th Amendment on Biden if you are concerned with Trump.

    This is why Nikki Haley is sticking around. Trump may be winning today, but who knows if he will make it to the Convention or to the election.

    Where is your outcry on Biden? Anyone silent on Joe is questionable at best. The world knows Joe should not be president right now.

    It's a cake-walk for mental professionals to give a very accurate diagnosis of Trump's mental state considering he's an open book whenever he opens his mouth for a camera/interview.

    They could never get as much and as telling info from Trump if it was a standard one on one therapy session.

    They also feel a professional responsibilty in informing and warning Americans just how dangerous he is and why.
    Good for them and us.

    She has to know by now that whatever legal issues he has or will have are a moot point to his supporters.

    So I think she's hedging her bet on Trump's downfall as something physical or him so being mentally unhinged he breaks and there's no return for him.

    You obviously don’t know my post history if you think I have been quiet about Biden. I think he is having some age related mental issues semi-frequently, mostly related to memory — trump has them far less but much more severely in my opinion.

    A person who ACTUALLY IS a GENIUS, does not behave the way Trump does. He/she uses their smarts to active the most effective outcome WITHOUT hurting, defaming, lying , name calling (kid stuff) Others. His name calling alone is so juvenile it is embarrassing. There is so much PATHOS in that man........it is irresponsible to put him in charge of the coutry. Biden might be senior.....but he is NOT psychologically dysfunctional. Nor is he a serious personality disorder. Trump is a decitful narcissitic sociopath......who doe snot experience remorse , regret for his actions as in HIS mind he is right and superior to everyone else.
    Just because Biden is not as theatrical / dramatic , sensationist , attention seeking...........does not mean he is not doing a good job and FOR the nation and it's people. He genuinely loves this nation...and wants the best for the population. Maybe some of the population have become unrealistic about what a true leader should be. They seem to want drama and sensationalism. Trump provides that. With NO substance.

    Seems that some only see Biden's age........and look no further .....and that is their mistake and loss. They are dazzled by smoke and mirrors of a shyster.
