Yes, I really don't understand why he doesn't just sideline the extremist wing of his party like the AOCs and Bernie Sanders of the party. They're not vote winners and ultimately voters that share these views will vote Democrat regardless in order to keeps the Republicans out.

To look at President Biden though is to see a man clearly in physical and cognitive decline. I'm not sure how much personal control he has over the decisions that are made and how much policy is simply being led by his "team".

Which is why democrats that are pro-life, pro-gun rights, pro small government are basically banned from the party?

The Dems are f---ed up, and the "progressives" have way too much influence.

That said, it is hilarious that many of the "small government" Republicans typically come from states that are relying on Federal money for something like 30% of state budgets.

A very well written and poignant article about the Democratic Party in the US, Biden and the current state of affairs - courtesy of realclearpolitics.com. Worth the read: https://johnkassnews.com/like-thelma...racial-cliff/?

Another perspective and good article from Maureen Dowd: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/15/o...ll-sinema.html

Kamala is nothing short of a complete embarrassment on all levels! Enjoy this clip of her "best" moments ...PS What were they/Democrats thinking when she was put forward as a potential VP nominee? As bad, hopeless and senile Biden is...She is much worse! https://youtu.be/Tr-mfXT-VH0

God help all of us Americans should she attain the Presidency given Biden's mental issues... PS Biden - before his dementia- was not the most intelligent either as he graduated number 76 out of 85 from Syracuse University of Law - a decidedly bottom tier law school at best particularly when he graduated. https://graduateordie.com/joe-biden-...-bottom-class/

Doesn't bode well with either in charge! Ughhh...

I'm not a fan ... but the most recent prior presidents weren't necessarily star students either.

Unlike Trump, a man of notoriously low intelligence and IQ whose university time is shrouded in secrecy and controversy? https://www.phillymag.com/news/2019/...-pennsylvania/

1) He was 'helped' to get into the university.
2) His professor repeatedly told people that Trump "was the dumbest goddamn student I ever had".
3) The university advises active staff to never talk about him and never mentions one of its most "famous" alumni pupils.
4) Trump stumbled and slurred through MANY speeches, all caught on camera. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UE9BXkQ-SRc&t=9s

Glad we cleared that up. terrifisch, your posts are hilarious for how tragically delusional they are.

The great thing about TrollyCliftons posts is being able to pick them apart at our leisure when they are inevitably revealed for the ill-judged BS that they are. I guess that his sense of shame dies a long time ago.

Trump was good at insulting people and rebuffing questions shot at him.
Even if he was always only saying either: wrong, fake news, lie or no.

Biden can hardly read from a teleprompter it seems. Every. Single. Question. Has. To. Be. Vetted. Apparently.

He apparently gets very irritated and agitated when people shoot random questions at him during press conferences.


But it's true: Trump is no MLK. I could hardly watch five minutes of any speech.

The 2016 election-campaign debates will go down in history, though. He was untouchable there.

The same as for EF posters there is no requirement for US Presidents to have reached a certain intelligence or academic level.

Continually posting heavily biased fact free opinion pieces, some even behind paywalls , is no substitute for giving us your own well researched and logically consistent opinions which would be a welcome change from your serial defamations of Biden's mental condition.

The "best" Trump did in 2016 was in the second debate when 32% of people said he won, according to a Washington Post/ABC poll.

It was entertainment. And that's all the American people want to have.

Double

Sad that the only leadership qualities people look for in the leaders of the free world is that they look good on television.

Maybe the US should give up Presidential elections and just have the studio audiences select the President.
For the not bright bulbs on the tree, this is ironic.


This is what happens when you try to run a country using a Constitution that is almost 200 years old and was written before the widespread use of vaccines.

Good for Biden he tried to implement an important safety measure but he could not defeat the dead hand of the past.

I'd rather have an elderly man who has to speak slowly due to a stuttering disorder in the White House than a manipulative psychopath who serves as the poster boy for corporate greed.

I was in a news forum the other day and saw so many Trump supporters blaming Biden for the price of oil/gas, inflation, rising Covid numbers, etc. as though these things aren't occurring throughout much of the rest of the world. I think some Americans forget that the US isn't the epicenter of the universe.

Here is a link to Biden's recent speech on January 6th. I would like someone to please explain to me what about this speech exactly is indicative that Biden has dementia:



Also, please explain why someone who is now the President of the United States and has access to the best healthcare in the world could manage to have dementia without it being detected and diagnosed by physicians. Thanks.

The perfect summary. Trump is a narcissistic psychopath with distinctly authoritarian and right-wing leanings and he should never be given a chance to get in that position ever again. Anyone who elevates someone as heinous Steve Bannon to a position of national power is clearly ****ed in the head.

And while I don't think Biden dementia, you can tell that his mind is slowing due to his advanced age and objectively speaking he does lose track of himself sometimes while speaking or giving extended answers to questions. IMO no president should be allowed to begin serving, or even be able to run for the position, when so far over retirement age.

I'm with Romney...voted to stop the crazy.

Trump had always relied on underlings to do the actual work.

Somebody said that after the 3rd bankruptcy, the people who provided the money insisted on "proper" management-types being brought in.

He was just the poster boy.

The problem with being president is it brings this problem to a completely new level. There are simply too many decisions to be made to be able to decide them all for yourself. You must delegate - but then you must select these people - or have them selected. That's where the problems started.

He wanted to have family in these roles (Ivanka mostly), but that is currently not possible. It's not the 60s anymore, when JFK could have his brother in the cabinet. Obviously, he didn't really trust anybody else.

I assume, in politics you learn over the years how to "trust" and control your staff, but there was no time for this....and Trump came into office specifically on the ticket of not being part of the (rightfully perceived as) corrupted political class that rules and robs the country since...very long.

Most bureaucrats (the "Deep state") wanted him to fail anyway and if you don't know how things work, the administration can set you up for failure almost perfectly so that you can't accomplish anything.

Of course, on top of all this, he was his own worst enemy with the mean Tweets and erratic, flip-flopping policies etc.

At least, he didn't lead us straight into WW3 over Ukraine, like the current administration is busy at.

All-in-all, both are probably not the right people to lead a country like the US in the current situation (for different reasons).

The question is, however, who could? The pool of useful (and electable to both sides) candidates seems to be depleted, at least as viewed from this side of the pond.
