OT: American Politics

[Aberdeen]

Musk is playing a dangerous game. He thinks he's untouchable like Trump but much like the right, the left has its nutters too.

Only a matter of time until the next Luigi decides to take matters into his own hands

One can dream

Dana Carvey didn't do the democrats any favors by making Biden appear senile either

there was no "appearance", he was suffering from massive cognitive decline, not his fault, he's an old man

It's just a mis read of the room and moment though. Falling for the same trap all of the other media idiots did. He is 100% a shill in the eyes of the people opposed to him. Anyone who doesn't deep throat their propaganda pipeline is a democrat shill to them. Americans are in a situation right now where the terms of dispute have been set for them by the maga crowd, and any energy wasted trying to virtue signal to the people who hate them is wasted. It was time for everyone on the American centre and left to dig in and swing, and they spent half of their energy swinging at each other.

Yeah, agreed with that. Nobody on the right is going to gain anything with Stewart, and sometimes, it can be good to sit down with the comfort food of a friendly comedian.

He is old, he is not senile.

Melania’s hat is a lot like El Guapo’s.

People (willfully) mistake his speak impediment for cognitive ability.

 

[lecoqsportif]

He has a stutter. Always has.

 

[MindzEye]

Which isn't to say that he hasn't slowed down. Of course he has. He fumble fucks some names and such, has seniors moments, etc. But most of what people try to point to as "cognitive decline" was his speech impediment.

I'd put his cognitive abilities ahead of Trumps though, by a fucking lot. Biden still thinks clearly most of the time, Trump's mind is fucking shot.

Am I the only one who finds Jon deeply disappointing these days?

I’m more disappointed in the Dems than the comics making fun of them.

Dems had a chance to hammer the fact that the GOP was the billionaire party but they stopped because of some of rich guy at Uber is related to Kamala….

 

[thehabhater]

Both Biden and Trump have trouble speaking. The difference is that Biden has no trouble thinking.

…also because all of the senior Dems and their corporate sponsors would prefer seeing democracy die & living in a fascist Trumpmerica if the alternative is risking fanning the flames of popular discontent with the gilded upper classes.

There's lots of blame to go around. A lot of people fucked up.

Elon’s grandfather. The Nazi salute makes a lot of sense really.

He is old, he is not senile.

Yeh he is, no need to gaslight me, he has good days and bad days, over the four years, his bad days became more numerous and were on full display during the debate. There is a reason they replaced him. The press and his people covered for him.

It isn't gaslighting when Biden, is still making good decisions for the good of the country up until the end of his term.

Yes, he is old, yes his body is frail, yes, his speech fails him.

But his mind is fine.

You must have been watching different media than I did after the debate. They did not cover for him. Not in the least.

To suggest otherwise is gaslighting.
