Split Biden or Trump too old?

Oh Washington has helped silence the voices of people much more important and moral than that guy

I know.

Netflix has a great documentary on the Chilean massacres when we supported Pinochet's overtaking of the socialist Government.

Yes, US has been murdering democratically elected presidents for a very long time.

Does not mean they were ignoring murdering less important people.

Yes, the political prisoner died from natural causes.

There is no evidence that CIA murdered him.

And it seems so lost on you that you can't recognize the ills of your government, while I have no delusions about my own. Of course, in the United States, I'm not going to prison and dying of "natural causes" for saying or thinking such things.

McCarthy details what Biden's really like behind closed doors: 'Sticks to the cards'

Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy revealed what President Biden is like in private meetings, disclosing for the first time the president's use of notecards.

www.foxbusiness.com

Reminded me of a relative who had dementia. He would write the names of his relatives on paper and then forgets where he wrote it. Biden is not there yet but it's coming.
Another surprising thing about dementia is loss of sense of time, 2 minutes could pass and he would say it was hours.

Good thing Trump never uses notecards.

I am not voting for Trump.

But I do recognize them. I just don't recognise your fantasies as reality.

Joe Rogan Mistakenly Blasts Biden’s Mental Fitness Over Something Trump Actually Said

Joe Rogan questioned President Biden's mental fitness but in trying to prove the point he incorrectly attributed to Biden something Donald Trump said.

variety.com

Joe Rogan claimed many Americans who voted for President Joe Biden in 2020 are regretting that decision because of the 46th president’s alleged declining acuity — but in trying to prove his point, the popular podcast host incorrectly attributed to Biden something Donald Trump had in fact said.

On the Dec. 21 episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” which has been the No. 1 podcast on Spotify for the past three years, Rogan argued that recent comments made by Biden disqualify him from running for re-election in 2024 (h/t to Mediaite). Rogan claimed Biden voters are asking themselves, “What did I do? What did I choose?” and his guest, mixed martial arts fighter Bo Nickal, responded, “You just can’t listen to an interview [with Biden] where he’s saying some of the things he’s saying, it makes no sense at all.”

Aid and comfort to the enemy indeed!

Do you also think Bill Clinton was giving "aid and comfort to the enemy" when he commuted the sentences of two Communist terrorists who bombed the Senate in 1983?

Contrary to popular misconceptions, Allende was no democrat. He had no support in the Congress for his socialist deforms, so he decided he was going to rule by decree.

 

[Derec]

Yes, US has been murdering democratically elected presidents for a very long time.

Allende may have been technically "democratically elected" (he won with only 36% of the vote, a plurality but far from a majority) but he certainly did not govern democratically, leading to the 1973 crisis and his ouster and suicide.

Being "democratically elected" is not a very high bar anyway. Hamas was "democratically elected" in the Palestinian legislature and so was Abbas for PA presidency (he is in the 19th year of his 4 year term I believe). Hell, even Hitler was originally "democratically elected". It means shit in itself.

Well I’ll have to read up more on that but it has no bearing on whether Trump gave aid and comfort to the enemy so it’s a distraction relative to that point.

Well, you are all democrats here, I am a proponent of totalitarianism here apparently.
Allende was not the only one democratically elected president you assasinated.

So I took a quick look and it seems a massive stretch to compare the commutation of sentences of people who spent years to decades in prison to a President who actively took no effort to stop a Capitol attack in progress! Who is now calling those attackers “hostages” and practically vowing to pardon them as soon as he is President again.

To equate these or even give any serious credence to the comparison is pretty laughable and seems to be presented merely to make political points.

This seems to be standard operating procedure for right wingers to say two things are equal that aren’t even close.

Karma is a bitch, after so many color revolutions and assassinations you organized you were bound to have something too.
And unlike shit you do all over the world it was 100% internal.

You can see Biden's decline here!

I think Trump is more likely to be on some kind of drugs than brain damaged.
Biden is undoubtedly senille, even his defenders effectively admit that when call it "aging".

 

[Politesse]

No one gives unbiased mental health advice quite like a Soviet propagandist.

 

[DeplorableInfidel]

“Compulsive liar?” I recognize that he has indeed made some claims which were false. Most humans occasionally do lie. But again, if that was a meaningful comment by you, you’d be far more appalled by the innumerable lies by Biden.

I believe you earned your username.

 

[DeplorableInfidel]

This whining from the right wing is just, well, old.

Ok, Biden is old.

Trump is....*deep breath* ... old, a criminal, a fraudster, a misogynistic adulterer, juvenile, demonstrating ACTUAL cognitive issues, a compulsive liar, and so many other redeeming qualities.

I mean, those must all be redeeming for ya'll to still be sucking his tiny, mushroom knob, no?

Most of your claims are false.

But the contention about Biden goes far beyond just his advanced age. It is that he is mentally pretty far gone. The lights are on but nobody’s home.

If you’re tossing salad on that old pedophile, you are likely to be inhaling old Depends.

Which claims are false?

What evidence do you have that Biden is a pedophile? Or mentally slipping?

Biden has speech issues. Speech issues can be exacerbated by stress. The Presidency is a very stressful job.

Oh come now. His stutter is age old. His gaffes are legendary. But that isn’t what we are talking about when people comment about his apparent dementia. And if you don’t recognize his dementia, then you haven’t been paying attention.

Do I have to mention again, that about half of my long career as a professional nurse was caring and advocating for people with dementia, and have taken most of my CEUs on dementia related topics? Where did you get your degree in gerontology?

Trump may not have full blown dementia yet, but he certainly has symptoms of dementia. He forgets what he said the day before he said it, and short term memory loss is often the primary symptom of dementia. Biden has no symptoms of dementia at this point and most people his age don't have dementia, btw. He does forget names sometimes, but as an older adult myself, I know that most of us may be very sharp when it comes to most things, but forgetting names is something that often starts in one's 50s and progresses from there. Neurologists believe this is because with age, we have a lot of data stored in our brains, so it can often take a bit longer to pull up the name or info that we need. Biden is not threat to democracy. Biden is under tremendous stress, especially considering the world's problems and the lack of any cooperation from the opposing party. Bipartisanism is dead, thanks to Trump and some of his wack job cronies like MTG, who is an embarrassment to my adopted state.

Trump is a deranged, psychopathic narcissist, who will probably cause a lot more damage to this country in a second term, compared to his first term. It's not just his declining mental state, it's the type of people who he will choose as cabinet members that is potentially dangerous. I'll take Biden over Trump any day. In fact, Biden has done a great job as president, compared to just about any of them in my life time. Only a person who has been indoctrinated by far right disinformation would support someone like Trump. Sadly, there are far too many in our country right now. It's one thing to be conservative and quite another to be a far right Tump supporter.

You might have some credibility if you could acknowledge Biden’s dementia. Instead, all you do is claim (without support) that “oh no: it’s Trump that ‘shows signs’ of dementia.”

Very hack like post you offered in that regard.
