    One mentally declining - Trump?

    One a mentally unstable, dictator wannabe, scumbag. - Biden?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,711 ✭✭✭✭Strazdas


    He still looks like he's struggling. Really looks his age and sounds hoarse and husky - hardly a picture of health.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,264 ✭✭✭sock.rocker*


    Yeah, that video is still pretty bad, and that's him answering questions that are teed up for him. Wild to think he could still be president four years from now.

    Oh, I see Biden is in conversation with "Our Lord" now. OK. That'll make things better. (perhaps somethings don't translate outside of the ole USA?)

    His handlers are now advising him not to walk towards the light!

    I 100% agree with this point of view

    Yeah, Biden’s probably isn’t that he’s clearly declining more than Trump. He isn’t. It’s that everyone knows who Trump is and have made their mind up about him.

    Anyone who actually thinks that, is mentally declining and mentally unstable themselves.

    Biden has a stellar 8 years VP and 4 year presidential terms

    he then has a **** performance at 1 debate and there is an absolute frenzy.

    He goes and does a 20 mins interview, it isn't a **** show, and this is the response.

    Un-****ing-believable!

    He didn’t just decline overnight and maybe if the mainstream media did their job properly and stopped acting like a propaganda arm of the Democratic party, the broader public would have been aware of Biden’s deteriorating state a long time ago. It is not shocking to a lot of people what happened in the debate against Trump; the videos the last few years that were available online showed Biden making all sorts of confused and nonsensical statements. People who are getting upset now need to question where they have been reading their news and maybe look outside of their Twitter and CNN bubbles.

    While I don’t blame Biden for what has happened in the US, the reality is that the US public do rally behind their leader and under Biden people have seen the Ukraine/Russia conflict escalate, the Middle East conflict explode, inflation eat into incomes, the border crisis get out of control and they will look for a presidential leader who is at least claiming to be doing something which Biden clearly is not doing. The fact Trump has a chance once again of getting elected shows how poor the health of US politics is (and probably wider society too). Kamala Harris could be the first black female president and yet cannot even get support from black people shows why people are just angry at what has happened to get to this point where Trump can get in once again.

    The fact is Biden was doing a perfectly fine job on the world stage until he had that debate.

    If you're telling me there was a decline, tell me when exactly that happened and now it affected his tenure.

    It's now a full on media frenzy. It's probably past the point of no return. See this absolute bollox below.

    1.6 million views. Caller, he did want it.

    Or this...

    4 years of chaos, locked on dictatorship goals, racist, rapist, fraud, convicted felon, and his supporters and the media have absolutely moved on.

    This however, this is what is utterly dominating the news now.

    Why wouldn't the fact that the current president of the USA seems to be seriously cognitively impaired dominate the news? It's been obvious for a while now that he hasn't been doing a perfectly fine job and doesn't look well at all. If he was running against anyone other than trump then this wouldnt even be debatable.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,397 ✭✭✭✭Akrasia


    He wasn't though. Gaza is a **** show and he was barely able to get through the g7.

    The concern is what will he be like in 4 years time?

    Trump is not much better btw, he's a blithering idiot even on a good day which masks his decline

    Age is a potential issue for Trump but there is night and day between Biden and Trump, its not a "its hard to tell which is worse" situation, thats just cope

    Was Rupar living with the Amish for the past decade plus? Biden has had a easier time with the media than his two predecessor. Both mainstream and Social. Remembered his name from Vox, although seemingly he hasn't written with them for eighteen months plus. There are some extremely online individuals that haven't been taking the last fortnight well.

    We can be indignant about Trump all we want. God knows he deserves it.

    But the reality is that this election is all about Biden and his physical and mental capacity to govern. And Americans have seen the evidence and are moving away from Biden in large numbers.

    It's this simple: with Biden as nominee the Dems will lose all three branches of government and Trump, with his hand-picked Supreme Court, will have unfettered power. So yes, replacing Biden is a risk. Not doing so however is an even bigger risk.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,248 ✭✭✭✭everlast75


    "seems to be"

    If he is, why not say it? Why use the phrase "seems to be".

    What decision did he make, while seemingly impaired endanger the US in any way shape or form?

    As I said, there is an absolute frenzy around Biden at present.

    It's like the age old question of tabloids. Do people buy them because they have human scum stories, or do they have human scum stories because people buy it.

    Biden comes across very poorly in that interview....

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,395 ✭✭✭✭Furze99


    It's not a great look at all. And I find it quite unbelievable that he has not reviewed that awful TV debate, given that it has had such a seismic effect on his campaign. I can't see many American voters believing that either. Sadly if he keeps on this road, he's a dead man walking as regards the election. The people who might vote to keep Trump out will just stay at home.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,683 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    the media especially CNN has remain fixated on Biden since the debate and treated eg. Trumps captured SCOTUS ruling on immunity as yesterdays jam, eg Brian Stelter:

    … and then he peddled a conspiracy about Biden and Parkinson’s.

    What has happened to Biden's voice btw? He sounds hoarse and husky and quite weak all the time - if he could speak loudly and clearly, that would be half the battle.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,772 ✭✭✭✭dulpit


    Trump is awful. Dangerous. But with Biden in the campaign all that is happening is discussions around Biden's health and ability. The arrogance of the Biden campaign is killing them.

    If Biden steps aside you'll have a few weeks of mania while a new candidate is agreed upon and the obvious issues with that iron themselves out. But then you can focus on trump's obvious issues without the constant "but he's senile" retorts back at the Democrat candidate.

    The fact they can't see this is baffling to me. It might be upsetting for Biden. He might be super sharp and well on top of his brief, but they're not demonstrating it and sticking your head in the sand won't change that fact.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,683 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    With non-politicos, the interview played a lot differently than to people who are political junkies



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,711 ✭✭✭✭Strazdas


    100% : if Biden goes forward, the only story will be Biden's health.

    Trump is an absolute **** and everyone knows it (it even seems to be part of the appeal with his base). If there was a different Democrat candidate, all of the focus would be back on Trump again and his numerous failings.

    "It's this simple: with Biden as nominee the Dems will lose all three branches of government and Trump, with his hand-picked Supreme Court, will have unfettered power"

    Where is the data to show this? Or is this just your best guess?
