Where is the prediction that trump will return to power like Jesus on Eater Sunday?

Sad you all have to make up things to poke fun at—or at least wait for Fox to— the only good thing about trump was Ds didn't have to make things up to disparage.

Both the partisan Democrats and partisan Republicans are thoroughly deluded, IMO. Anyone who still believes in the American political system is not understanding the truth of its real condition and purpose. And what I find most funny is how both sides accuse the other of being deluded without any understanding of their own delusions.

The USA has essentially become the world's biggest insane asylum and practically all Americans are suffering from multiple neurological, psychiatric, and/or psychological problems, but they are all convinced they are OK and it is everybody else that is crazy. It is very sad, but still fun as hell to watch. That is one of the reasons I stay in the USA; in Uruguay insane people are a very small minority, which makes life down there a lot less interesting and a lot more boring. Living in the USA is like living in a circus or a carnival and every single day is a show!

It is not just him dealing with stuttering. Yes he has dealt with that for years but if you look at tapes of him from say ten years ago and compare with his recent interviews or speeches you can see a clear and marked decline in his mental ability.
That he is fully capable and in charge is the Democrat illusion and they will come to realize it in time.

Yes, but Joe was the only man the nation could agree upon to replace Donald Trump. It's as simple as that.

That comment about Putin as being a 'killer' gets to me, too. I know Putin probably OK'ed the poisoning of ex-spied and opposition leaders, but still not any different than what the USA would do. On wikipedia I found this:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')n March 2020, the University of Wisconsin–Madison and the Brennan Center for Justice published a report indicating that Russia-linked social media accounts have been spreading Instagram posts calculated to sow division among American voters.[49][50] According to the report, Russian operatives were increasingly impersonating real political candidates and groups rather than creating fictional groups.[50] According to Twitter's head of site integrity, Russian agents also attempted in 2018 to create the impression of more election interference than is actually happening to undermine confidence in the process.[51] Shortly thereafter, the New York Times reported that according to American intelligence officials Russian operatives have been stoking via private Facebook groups anger among African Americans, emphasizing allegations of police brutality in the United States, highlighting racism in the United States against African Americans, and promoting and pressuring hate groups, including white and black extremist groups, in order to create strife within American society, though American intelligence officials provided few details about the alleged operations.[52] A CNN investigation found that Russian efforts had partly been outsourced to troll farms in Ghana and Nigeria.[53] In May 2020, Twitter suspended 44 accounts that exhibited behavior plausibly, but not definitively, indicative of Russian election interference tactics, including association with a Ghana troll farm.[54]

There's multiple forms of "killing". Assassinating uppity political rivals isn't something we generally do as it goes against everything this country stands for. That tends to be a sign of tyranny whereas, let's say, engaging in war (especially a limited strike like what Biden just did) can be more easily justified.

[jedrider]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Plantagenet', 'I') don't think thats true. Trump was very unpopular and the Ds had plenty of candidates who were younger and smarter then Joe and could easily have defeated Trump. But for some reasons the Ds decided to scam the nation and foist this tired old man on the country, and their tools in the MSM covered up the truth about just how bad Joe's mental and physical condition is.

[Plantagenet]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('jedrider', ' ')Trump was popular enough to almost win and each 'D' candidate just didn't have the instance recognition that Biden had. Unfortunately, that is where we stand as a nation.

[aadbrd]

Candidates who fire up the Democratic base and candidates centrist enough to win are two different things. The country skews right which filters out more left-leaning candidates like Warren and Sanders from the field. Plantagenet can double-down and insist otherwise all he likes but it doesn't make it so.

And for all this talk of Biden being frail he held his own pretty well against Trump's antics in the debates. This is just a drum the right will keep beating endlessly for the next four years but the dog don't hunt.

[JuanP]

The White House's official reply to Putin's challenge was that "... the President is too busy ...", neither witty nor credible, particularly now that Biden's dogs no longer live at the White House, so he can't go around chasing them and trying to grab them by their tails. But, maybe he is practicing his video gaming skills to try and beat his granddaughter, after she beat him the last time, though I suspect that Biden winning a video game against his granddaughter is as unlikely as his winning a live broadcast debate against Putin. I would like to see a live broadcast of Biden trying to tie his shoelaces, hopefully he can still do that.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')hou dost protest too much. You pivoted right over from trying to mildly suggest (in good concern-trolling fashion) we invoke the 25th amendment to predicting Ragnarok because the left is in power. You're bringing it up only because you don't like his policies. I seriously doubt you'd be feeling better had we elected a president (Pocahontas) Warren or (Socialist) Sanders rather than (Sleepy) Joe. Left policies are left policies, stuttering or no stuttering. All the right can do to amuse themselves for the time being is to fish around for any possible mud to sling or fear to monger. How long before the Hunter Biden laptop is evoked again

I am neither a leftist nor a rightist, but I have been very entertained by Biden's behavior in the past few weeks, though I am also concerned by his obvious intellectual disability. I thought I was going to find his presidency very boring compared to Trump's, but I am beginning to think I was wrong. Trump did make me laugh an awful lot with his outrageous behavior, more than all the previous US Presidents put together, and I don't expect Biden to match that. Biden is funny in the way a sad clown is; he makes you laugh, but you can't help but feel sorry for the f***er.

I never felt sorry for Trump, but I empathized with him sometimes, because his enemies abused him in such a brutal way. I never thought I would be able to empathize with a narcissistic bully like Trump, but the degree of abuse he was subjected to made it impossible for me not to empathize with him sometimes.

I deeply dislike KH, as I suspect a majority of Americans do; her record as a prosecutor is extremely disagreeable. She seems to lack any redeeming qualities as a person. I really would love to have a minority woman as US President; I've often stated here that Tulsi Gabbard was my favorite presidential candidate in the 2020 election.

I seriously fear that having someone as KH as US President would be counterproductive to the advancement of minority and women's rights, though. She's not as bad a sociopathic, narcissistic, murdering bitch as Hillary Clinton is, but the potential for evil is obviously there, and, if empowered, it could bloom. She seems to completely lack empathy.
