    Once again the Trumpists are absolutely embarrassing themselves on the thread. Clear inability to discuss anything policy related so it's just the same old same of Twitter videos and hyperbolic nonsense. Keep it up lads. The desperation is very entertaining.

    It's time someone said it to Putin.
    Incredible to think that someone would have an issue with him being called out for his actions, since when did America bow down to Russian dictators.

    Edit: Actually, no need to answer that. I just remembered.

    Why are you defending putin?

    i didnt defend putin.

    i implied it was not diplomatic to say that publicly about the leader of another world power.

    as salmocab said, they will never have a live chat (or any world leader really, but for the most controlled banal type of things).

    maybe they should go into a room together with just Putins translator?

    "the escalating tensions between the US and Russia". ABC news and George Stephanopoulos certainly playing their part in escalating those tensions.

    It’s hard to believe Biden has brought America to this

    You mean Dow Jones all time high?
    100M vaccinated 40 days ahead of schedule?
    Highest President approval rating in over 4 years?
    Most progressive relief bill in decades?
    Calm and decency back in the White House?

    Which exactly?

    Compare that performance to their idol that fine hunky specimen that was The Donald succesfully drinking a cup of water.


    Remember when him drinking water was supposed to clinch Trump the election :pac:

    And do you believe Biden has difficulty going up stairs? The man has slipped once in the hundreds of times he has been recorded going up stairs. We all need chairlifts based on your logic.

    He slipped three times in that one ascent anyway, more attention required on your part, Aristotle. Dunno how he's done in other recent attempts with stairs, ramps, inclines etc. Roosevelt managed to run the US while in a wheelchair so don't see why Biden should not use a stairlift if needs be

    Biden did, however, make claims of superior feats of mobility than the previous incumbent of the white house when he was seeking the presidency, so maybe stair climbing and such is an important part of being president in Bidens mind? :confused:

    Before election: "wah, Biden will be weak on Russia".
    After election: "wah, Biden is too aggressive on Russia".

    I don't remember people saying that Biden would be weak on Russia, I remember people saying he would be weak on China and having dodgyness relating to the Ukraine.
    Now I am sure you'l find a bunch of links of random heads saying that Biden will be weak on Russia but honestly the conversation was mainly about those two countries I mention.

    And again, what is your evidence that he needs a stairlift? This one clip of him slipping? As soon as someone who is elderly has their first slip, we should bring them back down, give them a nice cup of tea and immediately call a stairlift company is that right? At what age should we do this at when we first notice someone have a slip? 65? 68? 74? If an elderly person is getting on a Ryanair plane and slips, should we tell them to go back down and wait for a lift to arrive?

    There have been clips of him walking up stairs quite fast posted, there have been clips of him cycling posted etc. Step away from your biased opinion, a human slipped and it's nothing noteworthy.

    Am I really having this conversation?

    This slip is the price he pays for pretending he is younger than he is. He was trying to run up the steps and couldnt pull it off.
    If he walked at a more suitable pace, he would have been fine.

    I said RTÉ would bury it.

    I’m hoping against hope they include the collapse in the 9 bulletin.

    They are so biased toward Biden I suspect it will be “disappeared” and never mentioned

    More baseless assumptions that he slipped because of his age and not because he is human.

    probably when it requires hospitalisation or a broken pelvis is usually when family members get concerned and start thinking about those things.

    the last paragraph is kind of redundant... "but your honor, look at all the times i didnt murder someone! why are you judging me on the one time i did murder someone?"

    I know, it's such headline worthy news. Maybe they should do a prime time special on it. You'd enjoy that. Imagine getting your kicks out of watching a 78 year old man slipping on stairs. Sad.

    Yes, yes. So Biden ends up in A&E and an old folks home. Tragic. What do yo think of his policies?

    Eh the last paragraph is not redundant at all. A GP for example will only recommend the use of a cane if you have had a recently long spell of problems with balance, not if you've had balance issues since you woke up today.

    Anyway, I was recently warned not to feed trolls talking about insignificant things like this so I'll leave it to the others to feed or ignore them.

    the last paragraph...how he walked up stairs spritely in the past, or cycles, is entirely redundant.

    do people pick up credit for the stairs they can handle in their lifetime, so when they do fall they cash in that credit?

    that slip should be taken on its own merits. everyone has there own view, all biased. there is an issue, or not. the docs will decide.
