So the guy that got inoculated states that there wasn't a vaccine before he took office is telling the truth? I guess he was telling the truth because he prefers that over facts. Depending on the time of day and who you ask, Biden has a different plan for reopening schools. You could ask Jen Paski but she would need to circle back after crawling from under the bus Biden just drove over her. Less than a month into this trainwreck and this mumbling fool is making excuses for China, lying about COVID vaccines, confused about school reopenings and changing his vaccination distribution plan. The media gives him a pass and is making excuses for him and his administration while the useful idiots of the left keep on going.

Honest question: Do you ever double check your information before you post? You should really find a broader range of places to get information from because you post obvious misinformation a lot.

Stick with sources like:
Wall Street Journal (Do not use opinion articles form anyone)
Routers
Associated Press
ABC News
CBS News
NBC News

Google the news bias chart if you want more but stick to the ones at the center top.

Good list, except he'll just go plunder the WSJ editorials and post that crap as "news." Outside the junk the WSJ editorial board constantly spews, the journalism side is pretty even handed.

Ah good point and you are 100% right. It's like two different publications.


BB - Do not use opinion articles form anyone and especially not the WSJ. That is one of the biggest rookie mistakes.

You have to be extremely brainwashed to watch the below and stick to the sleepy joe talking point. The fact that there are so many of these Q cult members still around is extremely disappointing. I hope they snap out of it soon because they are an embarrassment to our great county.

Fox took this clip and created a chyron, "Biden doesn't know when we will get back to normal" That headline bears no resemblance to reality yet people like @brandonbull will run with that headline as if it were true.

Complete and utter misrepresentation. See how that works?

In his defense, he might not have read the headline. He might have watched a guy on youtube who read the headline.

Second hand misinformation... News for the truly lazy.

It’s weird that you guys keep lying to yourselves about this. Does it make you feel better to think Biden is going to die or somehow become disabled? The odds of that are not good, but I bet four years from now you’ll be telling yourself the same comforting lies.
It's not a lie, it's a prediction.
I have two friends that are very liberal MD's and they mentioned that his decline is obvious. They still voted for him.
There is no shame in getting old, the physical and mental degradation that occurs is common and accepted. That degradation isn't political, and it doesn't automatically render someone unfit for office. For some it's a very long slow process, for others it's a fairly quick trip from functioning adult to being unable to care for themselves.
In Joe's case it's being used as a political tool by the right, though it's my opinion that it won't get any real traction. It also seems clear to me that the stage is already being set for a relatively clean and simple transfer of power to Harris. That's actually a good idea even if it never happens, as it sets Harris up as the obvious next president, be that through taking over for Joe or election. It's a solid idea that doesn't have a down side.

I assume there is always a plan to transfer power in any competent administration. Are you saying something other than a routine plan? If so, what are you basing that on? What specifically has made it it so clear to you?

Just the optics. That references are always made to the "Biden Harris presidency". Stock pictures when the administration is discussed are almost always (in my experience) Biden and Harris. This is different presentation than I've seen in the past. It could simply be that we have our first female VP, but regardless of that, it's builds a mental link between the two. It's a solid strategy no matter the reason for doing it.

No, it was a lie. He said it was obvious to anyone who isn't blind that he won't fulfill a full term and that's obviously untrue.

I have two friends that are very liberal MD's and they mentioned that his decline is obvious. They still voted for him.

While I don't really care about the medical opinion of an anonymous person's even more anonymous friends, why would they have cared about Biden's decline even if true? With Trump you had someone clearly suffering from accelerating dementia AND he was an incompetent, psychopathic criminal. Not much of a choice there.

There is no shame in getting old, the physical and mental degradation that occurs is common and accepted. That degradation isn't political, and it doesn't automatically render someone unfit for office.

I agree there's no shame in getting old! That's not what's going on with compuwiz though - as evidenced multiple times in the past he's very good at telling himself stories about how things are going to turn out when the evidence indicates they aren't going his way.

It also seems clear to me that the stage is already being set for a relatively clean and simple transfer of power to Harris. That's actually a good idea even if it never happens, as it sets Harris up as the obvious next president, be that through taking over for Joe or election. It's a solid idea that doesn't have a down side.

While having someone ready to take over is always a good plan the idea that Biden is going to step down because of dementia or some sort of cognitive decline is delusional. If it makes people feel better to think that I guess that's their business, but I just don't see the point of living in a fantasy world like that. BIden might die of a heart attack or a stroke or whatever, but that's it.

Just think back to Reagan, his entire second term his brain was basically pudding and what happened? Nothing.

What? Where exactly. I just checked dozens of recent articles form several sources and I don't see this. Biden is certainly putting himself front and center on all his recent messaging.

Other than self medicating I don't know why they keep doing this. Remember how during the campaign it was:
1) 'when Biden gives his convention speech you're going to see his brain fall out!'
2) After he gives a great speech it turns into 'the teleprompter saved him! When Biden has to debate his brain is going to fall out!'
3) After he crushed Trump the Stable Genius in the debates it turns to 'the moderators saved him!'

There will always be new excuses because for some reason they just aren't emotionally ready to admit maybe Biden is just an old guy with a speech impediment and he's overall fine for someone his age. As for the idea that he's going to die, I don't know if people realize this but the average person his age is expected to live 9 more years and Biden is clearly healthier than the average 78 year old and has vastly better access to care. The odds say he finishes his term without incident.

It is especially noteworthy that they are now pretending to care about a president's mental health after the last four years, lol.

I wish he didn't keep bringing up the grace of God idea. I understand he's a church going Catholic, but the separation of church and state is pretty much a feature of the US constitution. Yes, "God" is sort of a generic card that can be drawn from the decks of most religions, but religion sitting at the political table strikes me as un-American. A person's practice or non practice of religion should be a private matter in the political landscape. He's wearing his piety too prominently.

I also think it's unfortunate that he (and everyone or anyone) thinks that the president has to present himself as a person whose view of things is all one needs to understand what's going on. I long for a president who is a great leader without allowing him/her self to inhabit that role.

Edit: I will add that I don't buy any of the senility bullshit that Biden's detractors have thrown at him, or the idea that he's not healthy enough to serve as president. He's infinitely saner, smarter and healthier than DJTwump.

OK... My wish for Christmas last year was a Trump loss in the General Election. That wish was granted. Crazy the way it all came down all the way to Jan. 20. Now, for this Christmas I have another wish: I'd like Biden's approval numbers to be even higher than they are right now! Possible? I think so.

538 poll of polls Biden still better then Trump on day 285. Seems Biden's floor is Trump's ceiling. Check Biden and Trump
How Popular Is Joe Biden? | FiveThirtyEight

But...but...TRUMP!!! I though you guys frowned on that stuff? And nice cherry pick of Trumps lowest polling numbers. He hovered around the same place the whole 4 years:

Guys, stop being weird and stupid. Trump is s criminal and a psychopath. If you don’t like Biden that’s fine but he’s not a criminal and a psychopath.

this is not hard.

True and if it wasn't for the Republicans Sinema and Manchin playing pretend they are D's he wouldn't be perceived as weak as he is. Exclude them both, throw them out or this will be something that ends in a 2022 and 2024 win for R's without any doubt what so ever.

Yes, it's not hard at all... unless you are incapable of understanding the obvious, what's readily apparent. I've never doubted it. Once I had a glimpse of Trump I knew and have never wavered.

I studied the glimpses of Biden at the summit in Europe last night. I'm hoping that he shows strong leadership, we really need it now. Trump has never had leadership capabilities.
