Outside of tax code, I really don't know what the Federal government is supposed to do about rent.

Many standards enforced by local regulators come from federal regulations.  There are significant costs added to construction from those regulations

Example: EPA standards around stormwater and discharge from municipal waste facilities have increased significantly in the last 30 years.  Those costs are material to the construction of new supply for rent.  Thats not to say those costs(regulations) aren’t the right thing to do, but they are real and much different than the past.

Yikes, at the 2-minute mark he talks about running for President against Trump in 2020, then 20 seconds later he says it was an honor when Obama asked him to be the VP in 2020.  

I don't want to watch anymore because I'm afraid of what's to come... well, that and I was already starting to fall asleep.

How do you not know your own major policy position.  It's one thing to read out loud something stupid on the teleprompter like "[Pause]."  It's another to mess up something like that.  

I legitimately didn't know it was anywhere near this bad.  I'll admit he's been cringeworthy the whole presidency so I avoid watching him when I can.  I didn't realize that we need to start thinking about Alzheimer's.

I think you can reasonably conclude with a straight face that you don't know whether the country will be in worse hands over the next 4 years based on who's elected. If there is an emergency war-like situation or something else that needs quick understanding of what is going on, is Biden capable of that?

Let's not go crazy now. Biden will continue to have smart, competent people around him to "guide" him to the preferred decision.

Trump...will not. 

I agree with everything before this though.

[Hank Kingsley 20937]

I feel fairly confident in saying this: At this very moment less than 4 months from Election Day, Biden's age/condition is a bigger concern to the general electorate than anything regarding Trump. It's fresher in people's minds and hasn't been beat to a bloody pulp for the last 8 years. It's not fair, but I think it's where we're at. And time isn't on Biden's side.

What the fuck are we gonna do about it?

We are gonna vote for him and convince anyone that isn't a maga moron to vote for him too. Then we are gonna convince all the maga morons they don't need to vote because Biden is gonna lose bigly in a landslide because who would vote for that mush brained geriatric fuck. 

It's an ace up the sleeve winning strategy.

I’ll take my chances with the old guy and the competent people around him. You can go with Trump, Bannon, Flynn, Paxton et al to handle the emergency if you really want I guess.

I never knew that being president was considered a “group effort” until I was told less than a month ago, shockingly, right after Biden flubbed his way through the debate and people started asking questions.

While I understand your sarcastic point, if you don't hold the absolute scum, stupidity, and ineptitude that Trump surrounded himself with the last time around against him, I don't know what to tell you.

Seriously. That was the book on Ronald fucking Reagan - he surrounded himself with a skilled cabinet. It was a regular theme for praise of his presidency which, if you hadn’t noticed, happened decades ago.
Maybe you “never knew” that because you’re an uninformed moron. Or, maybe you’re lying. Those are the two options here.

We all here choose Biden, on life support, over a psychopathic Hans Landa reincarnate option, but Surly not gonna be the deciding factor, the deciding factor is going to be unplugged voters in a few swing states that only see Trump with an assassin’s bullet wound, this vs an extremely geriatric Biden that was in trouble before the disastrous debate and assassination attempt. THAT is how this will play with the dumbs that are still deciding. This is a very target audience and Joe Biden ain’t going to win it, for fuck sake! Everyone was saying this a week ago a and now it’s like a brow beaten cuck fest for Biden

Sometimes I wish the competent capable people in the room handling stuff would run for office. but maybe being the traveling figurehead type meeting with world leaders and shaking hands is the reason they are in the room. It’s just not their thing. 

I do remember early in W’s presidency (pretty sure this was before 9/11) where he had a colonoscopy and the people around him forgot to have him sign that letter (forget what it’s called) ceding his authority for the timeframe of the procedure. And it was like a big deal at the presser with the reporters screaming  “who was in charge for that time? Who the fuck was in charge?” And it was officially no one but people were “in charge.”
