2020 the battle of the septuagenarians - Trump vs Biden, Part 2

It must be quite hard for Biden to actually respond to a lot of that stuff that Trump says. Purely because it is so idiotic. It must be like being asked to criticise a small child with learning disabilities. You'd be unsure as to what to actually say.

I can’t wait for the debates it’s going to be excellent TV. I don’t think Trump will be able to shout Biden down like he did with Hillary so he may flounder. I’m not sure how much of an effect it’ll have on the election though, as usual both sides will claim a victory.

It's going to be interesting. Biden has a history of having a short fuse so he'll need to make sure to control himself. If he has any brains at all he'll just keep fairly quiet, stick to his own agenda and let Trump destroy himself with his own stupidity.

I wonder how are they preparing Biden for the debates.

Surely it would be like a training camp with one person, a tall, domineering type standing in for Trump and coming out with all sorts of slogan type comments and vague statements.

At least I hope they are doing it.

Absolutely they'll have a Trump stand in for Biden to spar with and to come out with whatever they can imagine he'd come up with. They have the 2016 debates as a basis to work on as well the last 4 years of Trumps behaviours and talking points. He should be prepared.

So apparently the Serbia Kosovo deal isn't actually a deal at all and Trump signed a letter acknowledging the non deal. What a circus.

Front and centre. He just had to be seen signing something even though the United States is not party to this.

In fairness anything that helps to progress peace and stability in the Balkans is positive. But he literally signed a piece of paper purely for optics.

At his presser Biden got a fairly nuanced question on Kosovo Serbia economic deal that was just announced and wider implications for Israel and Palestine relations. Didn't miss a beat in his answer and showed has extensive foreign affairs knowledge. Kinda blew a hole in the dementia narrative again. A few days ago Trump was asked a binary question on whether police officers should wear bodycams or not. He couldn't offer any answer at all.

But...but....Person, woman, man, camera, TV.

He can remember 5 words in a row! IN A ROW!!!

Can't wait for the switch to "Really if you think about it, he's actually a patriot for saying those things"

How long do you think it will be? One more day? Two?


This story strikes me as one of those where the press makes the claims, waits for the denials and then releases evidence.


What's funny about this one is that people are denying he would do such a thing when he has already done such things publicly.



It defies reason. To me, this is the weirdest thing about the Trump presidency - the ability of people to believe things from Trump that in other domains they would not. If Trump was just some guy in a pub talking like that, they'd think he was a conman who couldn't be trusted. But now that such a man is POTUS, they believe what he says without question. These are normal, ordinarily rational people but when it comes to Trump, that rationality is suspended.



It's the same shíte that you see in autocracies and cults of personalities throughout history and in far away countries but I never thought that I would be in the same forum as the people enthralled by these types.


It's mad.

This press conference is so full of lies and misleading statements. He was asked a question about the poisoning of the Alexei Navalny and what should be done about it but he just went on a rant about China and the virus and that Hillary Clinton would start a war with North Korea. Very weird.

Maybe he meant he left a message on her answering machine so she could listen to it when they got back.

Or maybe he's just a f*cking liar.

Be interesting to see how the performing troupe spin this one
