    The election, obviously. It would have damaged the country if he had stolen the election with his Electoral College gambit.
    Depravity? Egads.
    Sneaky covid voting?
    You would prefer to take a chance voters might elect Old Joe?
    2016. The Orange Jackass was just lucky he ran against Hillary.

    I don't think you can make that one stick. They weren't saying he was fully competent, but they weren't doing investigative reporting because they're playing politics. The media never seriously investigated Trump, either. Politics.
    The media don't lie, but they report lies without seriously ripping the liar. Why don't they point out that Trump's claim to have had a fantastic economy was pure crap? The evidence is clear that economic growth in Trump's first three years (IOW, before covid) was the same as Obama's last three years.

    Your Orange Pal is gaslighting the American people. Democrats have to point the finger, then the media will report their views. The same goes for Republicans.

    It began with Trump's low integrity attack, a Trump specialty, on Biden's speech impediment. The rightwing media picked up on it. Lots of MAGA were gaslighted into thinking he had dementia.
    Obvious to MAGA who get propagandized by rightwing media.
    I guess a moderate looks like a progressive to a rightwing extremist.
    I don't "do" conspiracy theories. That's a far right shtick

    I saw too many people with dementia over a period of fifteen years where members of my wife's family. Joe didn't have dementia in 2020. I think he's starting his journey now.
    The media didn't take a position, one way or the other.
    I think people saw Old Joe was going downhill in the debate. To their credit, Democrats reacted by telling Joe it was time to stand down. When are Trump supporters going to tell the Orange Oaf his time is up?
    Uh oh. I think you're going to call me a "progressive" again.

    A lot of who aren't Democrats supported Old Joe because MAGA put a malignant narcissist on the ballot.
    You're assuming Joe had noteworthy dementia four years ago. Where's your evidence?
    The Deep State is a figment of your imagination.
    Yes, the American people wouldn't put up with it.
    I'm not progressive, so lay off the BS.
    Suggest you not wake them up. If they get off the Nazi kick and tell the truth about Trump's incompetent management of the economy and foreign policy, they can beat him.
    No, I was right months ago when I predicted Old Joe would quit going for a second term after Trump was nominated. I said he would quit for health reasons.
    I'm not a progressive, but I'm definitely not MAGA. They have zero respect for women.

    1. I have many close friends in the US for whose future I fear.
    2. When the US sneezes, the rest of the world catches cold…we all have an interest in your affairs.

    So you, “the ant” have now made it clear as day that when “THE US SNEEZES , THE REST OF THE WORLD CATCHES COLD.

    So by your own logic: all of bidens executive orders REVERSING President Trumps policies have done the damage that our world is now experiencing.

    You, the ant just quoted:
    Every time the U.S. sneezes, “the rest of the world catches cold”.

    Well at least someone from the “other side” admitted biden wrecked the U.S.

    Well “the ant”, some friend you are to speak out like this against your friends future.

    Or did you vote for their future?

    Biden dropped out of the race because he tested positive for COVID on July 17th, but just 5 days later “symptoms have almost resolved completely”.

    The term coup seems to be valid.

    No. He didn't. He said he would drop out if his staff could show him that he had no path to victory. They did. So he did. I understand why the concept of integrity might perplex a Trump voter, however.

    Oh, puh-leeze. MAGA are trying to have it both ways--they want Old Joe to resign because they think he has dementia and then criticize Democrats for pressing him to stand down.

    Why don't you take a long look at Trump?

    I disagree with that.

    Granted, in about every public speech, event, or interview since becoming the vice President, she has sounded like a retard. However before she pulled out of the race she was in one or two primary debates and she was a very aggressive, hard hitting debater. So I guess it depends on which Kamala shows up, wine mom Kamala or primary challenger Kamala.

    Frankly I'm not mad at all at the progressive posters on the forum for getting it wrong on Biden's mental state, no matter how obvious it was. They are basically NPC's. They parrot the official talking points, and when those change, parrot the new ones. Remember all the progressive criticism of Harris on this forum over the years? No more, she's wonderful now!

    Who I'm really mad at is the media, who covered for Biden for three years right up until they couldn't anymore. The NPC progressives didn't see very many videos of Biden shaking hands with ghosts, getting lost on stage, or going into dead-eye stare mode. They were available; they were all over the internet; but their preferred news outlets were dismissing them as cheap fakes, right up until they couldn't. It was a three year gaslighting project that worked, and likely would have continued to work if they had been smart enough to get out of the debate.

    Is that different from rightwingers parroting Trump's addled BS?
    I don't think you understand how the media work--and why.

    Media don't do as much investigative reporting as they could because supporters of who and what are being investigated get upset. They see the media as attacking their scared cow and turn the channel. Both left and right are channel-switching to get "news" they like. We used to do with newspapers what we now do with television and the internet. My parents used to take the Los Angeles Times--it was rightwing in those days--and the Democrats across the street took the Los Angeles Herald-Express.

    Joe Biden and Donald Trump could have submitted to testing for both physical and mental health, but they didn't because we didn't tell them they must to have our support. The media, from left to right, could have joined hands for the good of the country, but instead they've done what business does--look to maximizing profit. We see the result.

    I don't think either of these guys would have won their party's nomination.
    And you MAGA ignore or dismiss Trump's unhinged behavior.
    Where's your proof Biden had dementia in 2020, let alone there was gaslighting by Democrats? You haven't presented it here.

    Joe Biden was eating ice cream last night and tearfully hugging his family as he was deposed and unseated by Democrats to run for office. A select few decided, not voters, who the next Democrat candidate would be.

    meanwhile, far left agitators and protestors were trashing Washington DC and assaulting innocent people or people trying to protect the American flag. Afetr a day of destruction, the cleanup begins. More taxpayer funds down the drain.

    First, this isn't about Trump. There are about a 1000x more threads on Trump than Biden, and his "unhinged behavior" vs Biden's cognitive decline are topics that are nothing alike.

    Second, I don't need proof of Biden's dementia any more than you need proof of it in 2024. I've seen hundreds of videos of him over the past couple of years, and no, they weren't just gaffs or the imaginary stutter; to an observer, it was cognitive decline and it was obvious. Biden's debate performance wasn't "proof," he had a cold, he was jetlagged, he was exhausted, come on man! Anyway...

    What proof did Pelosi and Schumer and multiple other prominent Democrats have when they tried to force him out? Their proof was polling...
