Trump is quick, but a complete narcissistic dumb ass. Joe used to be quick, smart, and diplomatic. Now he gets lost in simple conversations.
So that makes them pretty even individually. But Biden will be surrounded by competent patriotic (we can hope) staff.
This will be exploited by Trump and the right. (I guess it already is, I don't watch Fox)
I wish Biden hadn't committed to picking a female as a running mate. I think Sanders would unite the party and as is still very sharp.

I am getting hung up on the description that Trump is quick. A squirrel is quick, it is still (comparatively) an idiot. Trump jibber jabbers because his executive functions have been outsourced to Moscow.

It is why he gets in over his head on every subject he talks about. The virus, the treatments, air craft carrier catapult systems, the economy, everything.
He is so stupid he interrupts, cannot grasp concepts, refuses to learn, and defaults back to his stupid self-interruption to focus on inanities while serious shit is happening. Tossing paper towels at people thinking it was a game.

He can only focus on one thing, graft.

This is something to pay attention to. We don’t just live in a country that has a fascist state TV network....we live in a country led by a psychotic narcissist who thinks that the fascist state TV network isn’t fascist and loyal ENOUGH, so he touts an even WORSE network.

If this regime doesn’t end in bloodshed, we’re pathetic and deserve the fucking we’re getting.

You want to make a hit squad? When is our meeting? I am a definite maybe for showing up and being sober.

Glad you are sitting on your ass and watching TV.  Anything else going on that would require attention?

Fox is just following the script and prepping for a loss and then trying to pimp the next R that comes along while distancing themselves from this clown.

Trump has lied and conned his whole life and gotten away with it. He’s doing it now too. He and the GOP deserve each other. They’re made out of the same cloth and all in on it!

And we will all fail because of it. The failure of America. I kind of wish it would have been an actual war instead of us flushing ourselves down the toilet.

A Trump supporter posted an article in which the author (incorrectly) based his thesis on the psychological studies of Jonathan Haigt. The article ended up being a "conservatives good/liberals bad" garbage piece, but it did get me into reading about Haigt,  and I followed links and leads to other opinions.

My conclusion, based on an afternoon of surfing the internet, is that Trump supporters at this point are authoritarians who are now lost in tribal psychology.

My brother-in-law works by the courthouse in a small town just upstate from New York City. He says the local toughs show up for the criminal trials-they’re wannabes doing the dirty work for the real dealers in New York. He sees them show up to court all cocky, on cell phones texting. They come out all the same, scared and crying for mama.

We need perp walks like we were seeing before Barr became AG. Trump has buffers, so I think the best we’ll get is a quick JoePa exit or him exiled abroad like Edward Snowden.

Violence against this government will not benefit the people or democracy. The threat of a military or secret service mutiny to preserve democracy might be the closest we want to come.

Absurd that it wasn't included in his impeachment. 

There’ve too many impeachable offenses. Trump would muddy them all up. So the democrats made a tactical decision to focus on a single matter where there was the most evidence they had access to. It was like when the Feds went after Capone for tax evasion. Except all the Untouchables got fired in this case.

Keeping track of the scandals is tough. Here’s the latest stats:

4 Nixons
5 Ollie Norths
8 Libby Scooters
56 Paula Jones’
13,218 Andrew Johnsons
357 Ulysses S Grant/Warren B Harding/Andrew Jackson trifectas
16 Joe Bidens
4,226 Howard Deans
1,213 Keating Fives
204 Hecka of Job Brownies
22,123 Gitmos
845 David Dukes
and at least one John Edwards, that is so clear cut that his lawyer served jail time for it.

I actually agree he's not a racist.  He's a textbook narcissist.  If white people antagonized him and all the blacks loved him, he'd have no trouble hating the shit out of every white human being out there.  He only cares about himself.  That's why I've said if Jerry Sandusky heaped praise on the dipshit, he'd have a really hard time not paying the pedo fuck back with some beautiful tremendous complements.

it's possible to be racist against non blacks...hello "mexico only sends over rapists and murders"

edit: leaving it but should have said it's possible to be racist against people/americans who aren't African Americans, for example his line about mexican immigrants. but seeing now it was covered up thread.

Peter Navarro is now identical to a shifty drug dealer who wants you to hang out in his apartment post purchase to limit the in and out traffic that the neighbors might be watching.  The next half hour will be spent listening to him continue to up sell the weed that you already bought and just want to take home.  When he starts to talk about his aquarium you have to jingle your keys and head for the door.  I gotta jet, P-Nav.

It's basically the plot to Mean Girls. We're currently at the point where Cady (oan) is flirting with Regina's (fox) boyfriend (dotus) and they start backstabbing each other.

I'm looking forward to the part when the burn book is released and all hell breaks loose when we see all the duplicitous shit this administration has been up to.

Absolutely brutal.  Long article; I won't copy the whole thing here.  But honestly, will a single poster with a hard on for Trump defend this one paragraph out of all:

  Quote

So as states across the country pleaded for equipment from the national stockpile, Trump made sure his friends and wanna-be friends were taken care of first. Florida, a state that is vital to Trump’s 2020 hopes, submitted a request on March 11th for 430,000 surgical masks, 180,000 N95 respirators, 82,000 face shields, and 238,000 gloves, among other supplies — and received a shipment with everything three days later. And just in case it wasn’t clear how much Trump loved Floridians, the state received a second, identical shipment on March 23rd. Oklahoma, a fossil-fuel-friendly state that is home to a number of big Trump campaign donors, received 120,000 face shields despite requesting only 16,000. Meanwhile, in Obama’s home state of Illinois, officials were forced to do a $3.5 million deal in a McDonald’s parking lot to secure a supply of N95 masks.

While Americans died of the modern plague, President Trump sang happy birthday to a fading Fox News personality. On March 7th, a who’s who of the Republican establishment gathered at Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s lavish retreat in Florida, for the 51st-birthday party of Kimberly Guilfoyle, one of the former co-hosts of The Five, and now the girlfriend of Donald J. Trump Jr. All the usual suspects were there, including Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani and Sen. Lindsey Graham; Tiffany Trump; Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner; and Trump’s younger son Eric and his wife, Lara. They sang happy birthday to Guilfoyle and lit a big sparkler. At the end, she pumped her fist and shouted “Four more years!” This is what passes for a cozy family celebration in Trumpland. But out in the real world, darkness was falling fast.

There were already 100,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, around the world, and 3,600 people had died. In the U.S., more than 100 new cases had been reported that day, a rate that was doubling every three days. Other nations knew how serious this was: By that time, China had shut down major cities, all but quarantining 760 million people. Singapore and Hong Kong and South Korea had put in aggressive travel restrictions and testing procedures. In the U.S., fear was rising. South By Southwest, the giant music/tech conference in Austin had just been canceled. Grocery stores were stripped in panic buying. On Wall Street, stocks were in free fall.

Trump knew all this. In fact, he knew a lot more. He had been getting daily intelligence reports for two months, warning him about the risk of a pandemic. It’s impossible to believe he had not been told that COVID-19 was at least 10 times more deadly than the flu, or that it was passed human to human with a just touch or a cough. A top White House adviser had already warned that a full-blown pandemic could imperil the lives of millions of Americans. Virtually every public-health expert in the world was speaking out, warning politicians and community leaders what was about to hit us.

Dude.  He kind of shut down travel from China and taught us we have nothing to lose from self-medicating with unproven treatments. What more could the Leader of the Free World be expected to do?

I mean...this is literally the worst case scenario of the Trump timeline.

Sure, I hate and was scared of Trump being elected because of basic competence failures, corruption, normalizing juvenile cruelty - all of the everyday stuff we’ve come to expect from the Trump world.

But what I worried about the most was the crisis. Another Cuban missile crisis, another 9/11...that sort of thing.

But this...this was worse than my imagination let me fear. This will kill tens of thousands more than 9/11...it will kill more than Vietnam. And it will send the world into the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. And we are led by....literally the least competent, least empathetic, psychotically self-absorbed narcissist, who doesn’t care at all about anyone or anything other than himself.

We have managed to perfectly coordinate 1) the greatest crisis in generations with 2) our lowest ability to handle a crisis. It’s as if we stripped off all of our clothes, wearing as little as possible as we locked ourselves outside....the same day that the blizzard of the century hit. It’s -10 outside, we’re completely naked, and the guy with the key to the house and all of our clothes is sitting inside, yammering about how warm we all are, and we should be thanking him.

We were going to be fucked when COVID came along. Our hubris and stupid choices have ensured that we are fucked to the 10th power.
