Those things are racist. If Trump can get rid of those, he has my vote. 

Actually, he has my vote anyway, apparently.

Please don’t post disinformation bullshit. Trump was not passed out. His mic was on mute or Newsmax forgot to turn his sound on. 

Didn’t realize that was disinformation. Gonna block that account. Mea Culpa

Because Trump voters are morons and there's probably several out there that will switch their vote to RFK or stay home because they believed that video or some other fake stupid thing.  These types of misinformation/fakes that show weakness are far more impactful on these retards than minor things like insurrection.

Trump's always jacked up on something. It's like, oh I don't know, every accusation is a confession or something.

And when he’s not, he falls asleep in court. Unless his legal team was slipping him horse tranquilizers

If there was some kind of miracle drug that improved the physical stamina and mental acuity of 80 year-olds, A) Trump would be on it, and B) it would be sold in every drug store and Walmart across the nation.  I’ve challenged a couple of relatives to tell me what drugs Biden will be on, because I…..have a friend who is about to hit 50, who might benefit from such a drug.

They have made such a big deal about Biden at the state of the union. Watching live, I just thought he looked like typical Joe Biden. I was more surprised at the language of the speech. But Joe himself was just typical Joe, IMO.

He WAS just typical Joe.  But these fucking morons have just accepted, unquestioning, as FOX and OAN and Trump tell them repeatedly that Joe is a comatose corpse.  So, they are stunned when they see him and he's.....not comatose.  "Lurlene!  Didja see that?  Ole Sleepy Joe actually said words!  He must be on the cocaines and the speeds and whatnot!"

I see ads for this shit all the time at the drugstore.  Maybe they are giving him large doses of this so we can all say, "look at the big brain on Biden".

He’s both somehow a criminal mastermind running the Biden crime family and a senile old man who doesn’t know where he is

It's the ultimate proof of "Cognitive Dissonance."  Reminds me of that SNL sketch about the pro-drug Olympics where Nealon says, "Not only are performance-enhancing drugs allowed, in fact----they're encouraged."  How can Biden be on the Bradley Cooper drug "Limitless" but also wander off into the forest during public appearances?  I get the duality of belief.  I know it's likely not true in one part of my brain, but I give myself over to a higher power in another part of my brain to help me with my own shit.  

But how is Biden hopped up on super-drugs, yet stuttering into senility, while running a deep-state criminal empire, yet falling down staircases while beating an Orange God in most swing states?  

We all rationalize bad decisions because we're human.  But at some point, we at least become self-aware enough to know that we're full of shit on justifying this next piece of cake, next cocktail, next porn search.  We do it anyway, but at least we know.  Are these fucking idiots just stepping over the justification portion of crisis management, or do they legit not get what they're doing?

Yeah, I know we've discussed this ad nauseam.  Plenty of people who know who they voted for and why and live with the justification of why they did it.  Millions of Americans can justify crimes, adultery, procrastination, misdemeanors, substance abuse, and self-harm each and every day.  We're hard-wired for it.  But at some point, we all keep doing shit wrong and realize as we look in the mirror and think "You can't keep doing this, you're better than this.  have some dignity."  Of course, most of the time...we stay on the wrong path but at least have some modicum of inflection.  We have these massive, though woefully underused brains, inside of our skull.  So large that we have to come out early due to our cranial size so as not to kill the mother.  There is willful ignorance and then there's where we are right now---tens of millions of people that simply don't know what the fuck they're doing.  There's many doing it for selfish reasons, I get it---just as natural a human behavior as denial.  But it's biologically impossible that there are this many people among us who can contain and worship two completely opposite thoughts and move seamlessly between them at the drop of a hat, depending on the venue and convenience.  

Every competent adult I know can speak to a child or an operator and a waiter or a cashier in an appropriate fashion.  They will then pause for a nano-second, and speak to their spouse or a co-worker or friend in altogether different fashion.  It's in our DNA.  We know not to tell the child there is no Easter Bunny, to tell our spouse they're looking older, or the cashier that their service sucks.  We can bounce back and forth with ease, for the sake of civilization.  But there are now tens of millions of Americans who can look at Joe Biden and Donald Trump and are incapable of volleying the ball across the table?  The guy who thinks Nikki Haley was to blame for January 6th because she was on drugs from Ronny Johnson and accidentally released too many sharks to attack electric boats in the Swamp and the other guy is a senile coke addict who can't find Delaware on a map but somehow manages a cartel? 

How in the wide wide world of fucking fucks?

It’s also a twisted spin on the SNL skit where Reagan is an old slow fool when the cameras are on him but then when they leave he starts ripping off plans like a supervillain. 

A classic. For reference.

I didn’t think I would get negative reactions. I wasn’t trying to be an ass with that statement. 
 

Wildcat - I didn’t know it was bullshit. It was a long investigation. If it’s not an accurate report, please excuse me. And I’ll delete my statement.

I’m not voting for Trump. I’m conservative, but I’m not a maniac.

Your previous posts, well mainly your reactions to certain posts, seem to indicate you are indeed voting for Trump. But I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt. 
 

None of us are super pumped to vote for Biden, though I think a strong argument can be made that he’s been a decent president, given what he had to deal with.
 

I would also venture to say that many of us wish the other side would have put up someone less insane, and moreover, that the other side in general weren’t completely full of (your word) “maniacs”. But that just isn’t the case.

I agree with you completely on the last part of your paragraph. 
 

i don’t know that I’ve ever given trump praise on this site. I could be wrong. When I talked about the Democratic congressmen and women, I guess I did it in a trump thread, but I don’t think I was taking up for him as much as I was giving disdain for them. 
 

i understand your point about it though. And I appreciate a genuine response. 🤘🏻

If you want to engage in genuine, good faith discussion, I’m sure plenty of people here will do so.

Do we need one of those same threads where we pick which Democratic candidate we want to take the place of Biden? Is Gavin Newson Schloss in this analogy?

I'm sure Trump was on something even if only a low dose of ADHD meds or something.

Second, Biden is going to have a hell of a time climbing out of this but he can. he needs two legit performances - one more debate and the convention. then just pound the cold narrative between now and then.  maybe one or two solid stump speeches too.

But the travesty is Biden isn't arguably a good president. That's not even debatable. what he's done in Europe, alliances forming against a rising China, rebuilding the executive, infrastructure, climate change funding, decency, several bipartisan bills, he would have sweeping immigration reform except Trump threatened republicans. The Afghanistan withdrawal was not great but it wasn't going to be great for anyone and every President left Afghanistan for the next guy. Biden made the tough choice and got us out and is now the first president since when, Clinton to have no troops abroad? He successfully helped defend Israel (for better or for worse an ally) from an historic all out attack by Iran. He's one of the primary bulwarks standing against Putin (and if you study Putin he's taken advantage of every US President until now). The man is the most effective president in the last 30 years. That alone puts him on the list as one of the greatest in our lifetime and arguably the last 75-100 years. FDR, LBJ, then maybe Reagan (retrospectively not a fan but still hard to argue against his influence/impact) and Biden, Clinton and GWB after that and I love Obama but he got stymied after TARP and ACA. Biden not so much.

President is always better than presidential candidate, act presidential and you assuage all fears, they need to do the opposite of the basement though, show him behind the scenes, it looked like jitters more than ability during the debate.

I think if Joe is still the candidate a week from Monday he goes through to Nov.    I would put the odds at 75/25 he is the candidate.   Up until yesterday I would have said zero chance there is a change.

Going to be a fascinating 10 days.
