My favorite part of the "inject bleach" deal was that it wasn't something random that popped up in his head, or it wasn't that he just had a brain fart and misspoke. No, that was something he was going around saying to people. And he kept being told "Dude, no. That's not a thing. Stop it." And then he tried again in a nationally televised press conference.

He's been eat up with the dumb ass his whole life. Well, maybe there was a chance in early childhood to nurture the gray matter, but that's gone. He's going to double down on the stupidest shit because he's gotta be right, about everything.

I really hate to both sides this, but I saw a brief clip from one of the 2020 debates the other day. Biden has aged a lot since then and I hadn't really realized it. Trump could say absolute batshit crazy things in a debate and come away the "winner", just because Biden looks 100 years old.

It's an absolutely valid point.  His brain still seems to be working fine, but he certainly APPEARS old as fuck.

And for all the "BUT HILLARY" takes we got in 2016, the Republicans are going to nominate the one human being on earth who might negate the biggest negative against Biden.

It is crazy but I truly believe Biden was the only candidate who could’ve beaten Trump in 2020, and Trump is the only candidate who could possibly lose to Biden in 2024 (and the only one who would’ve lost to him in 2020).

Biden is OLD AS FUCK.  No getting around it.  He looks old, sounds old, acts old.  His age is inherently a national security risk.  But there is no comparison when it comes to who is more dangerous to the wellbeing of our country and its citizens.  Trump is, literally, THE WORST.  Now, it helps make it even easier given that Trump is also old as fuck, and that Biden’s administration has a lot of positives they can point to over the last 4 years.

If Biden were under 65, we’d be talking about him as one of the best presidents since FDR.  Instead, we are whiteknuckling it hoping he doesn’t die before he can outrun a person hellbent on destroying our democracy to install a racist dictatorship.

It's incredible how much being President ages you. Even Obama, who is probably the fittest President we've had in my lifetime, aged a ton over eight years. So when you start from a baseline of 78, you're going to look really damn old after 4 years in the grinder.

Also, Bolton said he didn't know Great Britain had nukes.

Bolton spoke in Austin a few years back and explained this story about how Trump didn't believe the team when they were telling him about the UK's nuclear arsenal.  And then they went on talking about Pakistan/India and so forth.  And Trump moved on from the disbelief.  And this is nothing remotely classified, but Trump grabs Bolton in the hallway and asks him if it's really true that Europe has nuclear weapons.  And Bolton verifies the UK amount and then is about to explain to Trump that France has even more, but that judging by the look of confusion on Trump's face-he decides not to because he felt it would only make matters worse.  So a week later he had some sheet on it all inserted discretely into Trump's PDB.  Which, of course, he never read---but gave Bolton some reprieve.  

There is simply no way to measure the gravity of information that a President must carry with them at all times.  But there are two things I know to be true:

1.  Know what the fuck is going on with nuclear weapons.  Who has them, who doesn't have them, when to use them in a hurricane.  Know when to not use them during a typhoon.  They are serious things, get your arms around the topic.

2.  Acknowledge when you don't know something.  Lie when you have to, cover your ass, embellish, blame even.  But for fuck's sake...don't walk around so goddamn proud all the time that you're above briefings and experts and lifelong agents because you were on Fox & Friends earlier that morning.

I believe Trump had a decent IQ ,but is very ignorant of a great many things even going back to the 80’s. In the Roy Cohn doc and from his biographer, he was portrayed as an empty suit who bullshitted and bullied his way thru business, but had limited attention span and no interest in reading.

His current intelligence is now deteriorated and he relies upon past phrases and word salads his way. He can turn a phrase still, and his instinct and savagery are in tact.

That the GOP has successfully pushed two incurious men into office, gravytraining on their way there based on their last name, is more reason to relegate the GOP as a viable party in our system of democracy.

[BehoId, The Underminer! 11668]

Presidents since FDR.

Truman - finished off the Axis.

Eisenhower - 

JFK - Moonshot

LBJ - Civil Rights bonanza

Nixon - 

Ford

Carter

Reagan - Showed commies we had infinite budget

Bush - End cold war without chaos

Clinton - Prosperity computer boom

GWB

Obama - Obamacare, DACA

Trump.

My guess is if Biden is done, he will be remembered about like Ford.  Just a dude that was there for a few years.

Well....

Actually, the hurricane would be even more worrisome, because the weapon wouldn't disperse the hurricane, it would just add radioactive fallout to it.  So now, instead of a normal hurricane, you'd have a radioactive hurricane spewing fallout.  

So there's that.

I got nothing against Joe Biden. I think he's done a good job. Voted for him once and I'll damn sure vote for him again. But it's hard for me to see his decision to run again and not step aside as a damn near unforgivable act of pure ego.

i complain to my wife about the short bench all the time.  who is going to step in?  i say "someone graduates 1st and 2nd from every college in the u.s. every year.  WHERE ARE THESE PEOPLE?"  i honestly think that it is partially that we are victims of our own success.  because we are in this hyper rich period for the top 1%, if you're the cream of the crop, it is hard to say no to the private life.

Well the problem is, no one ever told him "Dude, no. That's not a thing. Stop it."  Because the folks around him are all grifters who tell him what he wants to hear.

LoL At listing LBJ and JFK without mentioning Vietnam and listing Reagan without mentioning trickledown or embracing evangelicals.  Theres arguments for Ike, LBJ, and Clinton as better than Biden but everyone else is laughable.

Biden did:

Passed a huge infrastructure package in a severely challenging political climate that ensured the US will remain the premier world power for the remainder of the 21st century.

Navigated Russia losing a ground war that didn’t jeopardize American lives while refurbishing/refreshing the entire arsenal of our military and testing our capabilities without actually having to engage.  Reinvigorated NATO after it was sabotaged by Trump.

Navigated disengaging from China as the consequences of their demographic collapse emerge.

All-time low unemployment and steady GDP growth despite dramatically rising interest rates that were a necessity to tame inflation he inherited.

Made significant (albeit insufficient) progress on policy to address climate change.

He didn’t make progress on healthcare or the border.  He did virtually nothing to address fentanyl and mass shootings.  But it is hard for me to see more net gains in any other recent president’s first term, especially considering the political climate.

Biden will be known for putting an end to trump, who will die in 2027,and hopefully replacing Clarence Thomas on SCOTUS when he dies in 2025.

This. You don’t fucking give up incumbency. It’s so fucking powerful, especially at the presidential level. That’s why only 3 incumbents have lost since the  1980 election. LBJ did it and the Dems got smoked by Nixon  

Biden ran again bc not doing so would make Trump winning much more likely
