    But Trump is not gaining voters and there are a lot of never trumpers who will only speak on the day

    "Where have I denied something wrong with Biden?"

    It's just natural aging and a stutter, "up until the debate," where it MAGICALLY became something different overnight, right when the DNC said it was okay to talk about. :sunnysideup:

    If the polls are accurate, Trump is gaining voters.

    The media is hiding how serious the problems with the economy actually are,

    and what a bad idea it is to have a war with China while we are involved in
    the Middle East, and in a really big proxy war with Russia,

    and that our Southern border is not secure,

    and that we have damaged the German economy instead of the Russian one,

    And that the war in Ukraine is not going as well as the media claims,

    and that years ago as VP Biden destabilized Ukraine.

    The media is covering up what a screw up Biden is.

    Trump's mental issues are not at issue. Trump might be a jerk, he might make mean tweets, he might be a braggart, and he might sleep around on his wife, but he's not a brain dead lobotomized puppet with the IQ of a toad and the pawn of turds like Soros.

    They seemed to have circled the wagons including Hunter which makes no sense, so either he is pulling the plug soon, or they are going to have to Article 25 him.
    This is begging an adversary to pull something.

    So says @Sirius Black, reminding our MAGA correspondent that thinking it up doesn't make it true. :roll: :roll:

    If there was such a cover up, I see no reason to believe it was in an attempt to keep Trump from getting elected. An argument could be made that it's the opposite. The Dems could have ran a cogent and not a senile candidate. They took this risk.

    It exposes that their too concern is not defeating Trump.

    So it’s YOUR opinion that biden is fit to run our country? I say opinion because you obviously have no personal access to this man and cannot personally evaluate his everyday behavior.
    It’s also clearly your opinion that our country is better today than when President Trump was running things, correct?

    Like anyone needed to say this, it should be obvious to anyone with even a slightly open and functioning mind...

    I think that the view of Trump is more based in fear than hate, and the hate is the product of the fear. So- what do they fear?
    Apparently- putting America and Americans first, holding politicians accountable for performance and results, earning the trust of the American people by doing their job, honoring the Oath of Office and the Constitution- and perhaps most of all, being required to stay grounded with common sense needed to keep the nation on track.

    o Why would the media, whose historical objective has always been to speak truth to the people- decide to hide truth and spread propaganda? I don't know the motivation, but it has to be ugly, because doing that requires selling out yourself,-sacrificing your self respect and being unable to see yourself as an honorable person.. and living with that knowledge 24/7.

    It's really stupid to destroy the vessel that you are part of and depend on, and that is what much of the media has done by becoming biased and hateful, and concealing truth.

    Yes that's true to a point. But it's obvious that up till that debate, we weren't hearing from the Left and bias news stations that Biden needs to go. They were saying just the opposite. Obviously they weren't showing Biden's decline to viewers like Fox News was. His condition was a complete shock even to CNN and MSNBC hosts. Or they finally found out it can't be hid anymore and acted shocked.

    I am sure you can and the Left's bias news has been doing it, every chance they get. But why is it now Democrats are acting shocked? Have they been hiding his condition from their audience? Telling us how fit he is all this time when they knew better.

    Yes it does. The op sets up the premise that this was done to hurt Trump.

    Can you show any proof? Just because you say it doesn't make it so.

    I am not acting shocked. Charges of his decline have been covered in all media for a long time now it is one of the central issues of the campaign.
    If you would like to look at bias I would suggest you look at the source in the OP there is no evidence of a conspiracy to do what is alleged in that article. It is a biased opinion.


    Biden is old. Older people have some mental decline and some physical decline. If we all live long enough we will experience that, because it is not unusual. The real question up for debate is whether Biden can do the job well.

    Okay fine. But the gears grind on and you either have an Obama Trojan horse, or you don't. Or you got nuttin'. Maybe even lose the house and the senate.

    I do not recall you demanding such rigorous proof regarding Trump as he rode down the escalator!

    What rigorous proof would you have me demanding? This is not on me, I don't represent anyone. It is on you since it is your idea. If I accept anything from either side as anything beyond opinion there must be facts to support it. If not I will call it an opinion.

    Good grief, we've been talking about Biden's possible dementia on the forum for months. Biden would in any event be in the initial stage and progression could have been hastened recently by other physical changes.

    Whatever he has, his debate performance was well below a standard many of us would find acceptable for the Presidency.

    Biden's candidacy is at a crossroads. His suitability is open to question because of his age--the same is true for an obese Donald Trump--and his public and reported private memory lapses and confusion.
    A claim so absurd it approaches gaslighting.
    Who are these "leftists?" All Democrats? Sanders and Warren? This scattergun attack reminds me of the crap coming out of the mouth of your Orange Friend.
    Propaganda.
    What will history have to say about the sort of attack you're making here? You've made a lot of questionable claims. Such seems to have become a standard feature of American politics.

    Some people have been talking about Biden's cognitive issues, but that particular poster was saying it wasn't real and he was just old and a stutter for the past several years.
    His debate performance wasn't anything different from what we've seen from him every day of his presidency.
    The gaslighting is from people who continue to saying Biden has "possible" issues and those who make false claims about his cognitive health for partisan gain. Once the debate was over, media pundits were finally open that they were receiving texts from Democrats and DNC officials saying this was horrible, and there was something wrong with Biden. That is when many pundits finally came clean, when Democrats told them it was okay. Before then we heard every excuse under the sun: Biden didn't need help getting off stage, Biden's brain short circuit where he mumbled incoherent jibberish was a "stutter," BIden's blank stare wandering at socially awkward times means nothing, etc. A stutter is a blockage of speech that occurs at the beginning of a word or first vowel. It doesn't explain Biden's jibberish and never has. Etc. The only time they talked about it was when they were defending him and saying it was a conspiracy.

    Stop pretending the liberal media wasn't covering up his cognitive decline, that gaslighting is so transparent that it is wholly ridiculous.

    The question of how much the left hates Trump and America, and how much of their own integrity they will discard to pursue that, is one that is downright scary.
    While they regularly call the right vicious, that is a tool to justify their own. Just saw a link to a report that grabbed my attention, and is noteworthy on this subject.

    Now I will say upfront that this comes from some sources with questionable veracity, so it needs other confirmation.... but at the same time, this is exactly the kind of stuff the left's media soft-pedals and buries.
    This stuff, if true- would get the ordinary citizen jailed.

    Quotes from the article-


    (BREITBART) –
    "Singer-actress Bette Midler, star of Disney’s Hocus Pocus 2, suggested that President Joe Biden arrest Republican members of Congress and allow the FBI to use deadly force in order regain Democrat House majority."

    “Now that Joe has total immunity, many are urging him to be GOP ruthless. Here’s a suggestion for implementing his new powers,” Midler wrote in a Friday X post, sharing a screenshot from an opinion piece published by The New Republic."

    Midler is not the only actress fantasying about killing Republicans and urging Biden to take measures that would result in assassinations.

    This week, Netflix’s Orange is the New Black actress Lea DeLaria, literally and emphatically called on Biden to assassinate former President Donald Trump in response to the Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity, posting a video for her 1.1 million Instagram followers urging Biden to “blow him up.”

    “Joe, you now have the right to take that bitch Trump out. Take him out, Joe,” DeLaria said. “If he was Hitler, and this was 1940, would you take him out? Well, he is Hitler. And this is 1940. Take him the **** out! Blow him up, or they’ll blow us up. Facts.”

    He has a speech impediment.
    Yes, many of them use Biden's speech impediment as evidence of mental issues in a bullspit way of discrediting him. If they find low-info types that by the sh*t they're throwing against the wall, they win. Does them BSing us over the last few years mean Biden doesn't (or didn't have) dementia? No, of course not.

    Old Joe could be going through a dramatic progression like my father-in-law who interred his wife of 62 years in February, planned and organized the service, and subsequently was unable to recall without prompting even the existence of the service seven months before. Maybe he'll last 7 or 8 more years.
    Bar talk, maybe after a few beers. Who are the "liberal media" and your evidence they've been hiding things?

    Now, about Trump... how much anger and expressed hostility is too much for this guy to be President? If his behavior within acceptable norms? I don't think so. He shows evidence of being a malignant narcissist.

    [​IMG]

    Is Trump a threat? Do you want this guy to have enormous legal powers? His finger on the button? His moral guidance

    If Trump is as they say a serious threat to democracy, why are they running Joe Biden? Time to get another pitcher in there.
