      And the democrats can’t produce a candidate that’s not gaff prone? What a sorry state of affairs.

        Who cares if he says the wrong name occasionally? At least he usually corrects himself unlike Trump

          I honestly wouldn’t care if he wasn’t applying for what is arguably the most important job in the world and I think the “still better than Trump” argument is just setting an extremely low bar.

          I don’t think knowing the difference between Zelensky and Putin is a big ask.

              I think that the POTUS should be extremely competent given how serious the job role is, I actually don’t think that should be a controversial, let alone delusional point of view.

              The irony of people like you calling me delusional whilst you pretend Biden is up to the job leaves me lost for words.

              Biden’s cognitive capacity is clearly in decline and if he manages to win he’ll be 85 when he leaves office. Tell me one other person with a job role as serious as his that’s served by someone like that.

              Yes, I know Trump would be a disaster, that’s exactly why it’s so important that the democrats put forward the best possible candidate they can and if that’s Biden, I think we should all be very worried.

                  I put it to you that you’re going to sleep walk in another Trump presidency. Are you going to act surprised or admit that people didn’t want a senile president?

                  The options are trying to do something about it now, or waiting four years whilst Trump is inflicted upon the world.

                  I think that pretending there is no other option and having to hold your nose while voting for Biden is very weak.

                  Many have said, “I’d vote for a dog/potato/cadaver over Trump”, so if that’s true, it actually doesn’t matter who you pick in place of Biden. So let’s pick literally anyone who doesn’t look like they’ve stayed up too late at the old people’s home.

    I found a Livestream…

    They’re playing old speeches and they jumped from the 2008 Palin debate to yesterday’s NATO speech…

    Which I guess is better than running his old stuff right up to the live stuff. But it was just so fucking jarring. I don’t know how people can say age isn’t effecting him.

    He’s just staring down at a podium and reading a piece of paper.

        I get most people don’t remember him at his peak in the 80s, but Obama wasn’t that long ago. Even then, he sounded like a functional adult.

        His press conference was supposed to start at 6:30 I thought, then it said 6:55 at one point…

        It’s 7:07 and he’s still not out.

        I had to switch streams and now it’s just running recent reports on him to kill time, but they’re all bad because there’s no good news…

        I don’t know what’s going on but he needs to get on camera asap.
