Again his interview ratings this past week were awful. People are losing interest -as with many things with the benefit of time passing. He’s three years away from an election and under GR investigation. The only people I hear talking about trump are on this board. My own repub friends have long moved on. Media need stories for a 24/7 cycle. He was a divisive ratings boon of a pres. They will continue to write about him for the obsessed but he’s toast
Do you really think trump “influences” things? My impression is the he mostly reinforces and supports beliefs and attitudes many have without him. There probably are exceptions, but I think he is mostly opportunistic.
Lol. That is weak-minded. Talking to me while naming me as “one of the posters” is a stronger sign of a weak mind.
Senate and house gop still do whatever trump says or they get voted out re cheney.
Yup trump is fading lmao
Yup trump is fading lmao
trump is fading and will continue to fade. it hasn't even been six months since a contested election.
I will agree to an extent on the dementia issue. If it's someone's mom or dad or Bob Knight or neighbor next door I totally agree. This man by whatever means is President and less about him personally as it is the office and who put him there in my opinion. To me it's a totally different scenario, but point taken
It is possible, however, to discuss sensitive topics with respect and caution. I didn't see the thread NPT axed, but if it came from Lucy, I have no trouble believing it contained neither respect nor caution.
Lmao wasn’t the thread axed your 50 post fight? I swear you must have yourself on ignore
Really? By default I can't see any of Lucy's threads on the main page, so I guess I can't see the deletions, either. I assumed NPT permadeleted something before I even saw it.
The only people claiming Biden is suffering from dementia are those who oppose his politics.
I don't buy that at all , by the same token one could say the only ones that don't think he is, like his politics. 78 year old man that appears lost, says just strange stuff. Trump is an a**hole for certain and said strange things but in a different way. In my opinion no one over 72 should even be able to run for a national office. I can see in my parents from 72-now 77 and not dementia but are no where close to the same. I will agree people age differently but c'mon if you don't think Biden is heading downhill you aren't being honest with yourself. I will admit to never paying much attention to him until the last cpl years even when he was VP, maybe has always been like this ?
I think the real issue is that all of the people who can see this dementia plain as day didn't see any problems whatsoever with Trump. Even you temper your terms: he was strange "but in a different way." That's an out. A way for you to say Biden has dementia, but Trump doesn't.
In other words, I think Mark's ultimate point is that we are not doctors, but partisans, and I think he's probably spot on.
When they have nothing tangible to attack, they resort to making up stuff like claiming he has dementia
No I m not giving him a pass on anything. I just don't think it's necessary to make fun/criticize his dementia(if that is what it is)the way it's been done on here anymore than I would like someone making fun of Trump's cancer (if he had cancer that is). However, that doesn't mean that you can't attack his ideas, his character, etc. It does concern me that he's in control if he really has it. But I was concerned about Trump also... what in the heck will he do next because he done some stupid things and never seen to think before doing them.
Now you're changing your tune. Losing a bit of your edge as you age is a far cry from dementia.
Joe has always been a gaffe machine and no one ever took him for the smartest guy in the room. What he is is a decent man who knows how the levers of power work, who he can trust, and the people involved in getting things done both domestically and around the world. You're welcome to disagree with him on policy, but it's a sign of desperation when all you can do is claim he's demented.
But that is not something that he can do anything about any more than if he had cancer. Don't blame him... blame the ones that put him is office.
most are here to back the RNC or the DNC, and to attack the RNC or the DNC.
backing either is almost impossible, and attacking either is a piece of cake.
that said, the board regulars are beyond ridiculously weighted toward pro investor class, relative to the actual demographic numbers in class breakdown.
and yes, money can buy almost everything.
and no one is funding backing the working class, which is how we got here in the first place.
"divide and conquer" isn't just a sappy saying, it's the number one political/economic strategy of those who fund, thus control, both parties.
the non stop bickering isn't the result, it's the whole objective.
We aren't talking about someone selling hot dogs at a 7 11 here. This is the President, I don't care if its lost his edge due to age or just what it is . I'd disagree on policy if he was 40 but he obviously has issues. He is a gaffe machine? Then why the hell would you vote for him then? I see people posting like it is some age discrimination thing. That would be a good point if he were in a regular job. I am not sold on how decent he actually is by any means. We arent going to agree for sure
I think a bigger problem is some of us think they are very smart when, if fact, they aren't. But you are right in the fact that too many look at it as a contest to be won.
In my mind I was blaming the ones that put him in office , you can see it different ways I guess. I watched these same people go off on everything Trump did and that was OK , again he is an a**hole in a lot of ways but I didnt see it as his mind going. Again in my mind they were both too old in the last election. Not like we are denying employment for someone that really needs a job. We all get old if we make it that far but people in their upper 70's should not be running the country whichever party they are a part of in my opinion. Maybe I look differently at the things being overlooked, his gaffes, his stuttering . To me those are big issues in being President vs having a job that it isn't a big deal in somewhere.
The same reason many claim they voted for Trump in 2016: I couldn't vote for his opponent.
It's easy to determine. The smart people agree with me.
And to think, this man imagines he's mod material.That answers the arrogance question then doesn't it?
Anyone questioning my arrogance is an idiot.That answers the arrogance question then doesn't it?
really? Cruz was a strident smart ass long before Trump. I don’t know much about MCCarthy because he wasn’t the subject of very much reporting before Trump.
I think the Dems are obsessed with Trump. This goes for the elected officials and media.
Many people didn't take Trump seriously until November 2016, and by then it was too late. We'll not make that same mistake again.
Don’t agree. Many didn’t take what Trump represented seriously. The swamp took itself for granted. I agree about not making that mistake again. Big Media, Big Tech, Big Education, Big racism, Big entrainment are all in ideological sympatico. I don’t think that is a good thing.
You really don't get do you. The Dems hid Joe in his basement prior to the election. They now keep him on a short lease because they're afraid of what he might say. The Dems knew all along there was a serious problem. The people close to Joe also knew. They made a deal with the socialists within the party and put him up for President because they didn't have any other candidate who could defeat Trump. They didn't give a sh*t about his welfare. He was a just means to an end.
This not is about a guy who was just trying to live his life and is suddenly struck with Dementia. That person deserves our sympathy. This about a political party which put forward a candidate they knew was not competent in order to win election and advance their socialist agenda. No, I don't have any compassion for sympathy for Joe. I am much more concerned about what "his" or Kamala's administration is will do to our country.
