Do we have enough video footage evidence yet to prove Biden is senile?
- Thread starter Specter Von Baren
- Start date
Just lightly skimming through this here thread, but, someone actually tried to argue that in here?
The guy was made fun off everywhere he went, had protests in countries he visited, was made fun off on television, had a personal blimp depicting him as a giant baby.
Roughly said the only countries that had a positive image of him were Russia, North Korea and other general ill aligned governments because they saw him as a chance to manipulate the US.

Not explicitly, but it is an implicit meaning of worrying about Biden damaging the USA's reputation without admitting his predecessor was far worse.
I hold to the general view that democracies get the democratic representatives that they deserve. That's the thing about democracies: it is literally in the hands of the people to decide who runs the show. I do not pretend that change is necessarily easy, but on the other hand it strikes me an awful lot of people do an awful lot of complaining without doing the sorts of things that might drive change.
It's not though, but that's been the myth. I believed it, too, a good twenty years ago. Billions of dollars of damage from climate change related severe storms, not to mention the deaths involved, and one party can't acknowledge it's happening...
Yeah, if that was ever true, it definitely isn't now.
I've not seen any polling that comes close to suggesting that. And the rising level of antisemitism without a Jewish President leads me to believe that would be highly unlikely. Fox News would have doubled down on it the same way they doubled down on "COVID ain't real."
He was the only candidate other than Joe that consistently outpolled Trump before COVID. This was true for basically the entire year running up to the primary actually starting. It’s not even really an argument.
Obama made the US a net exporter of fossil fuels.
Edit: because I know this will be turned around, no, it was not by reducing oil consumption. Obviously.
Oh, I give everyone on the right the chance to prove themselves decent human beings. It is not my fault that so few do.
You call that sharp? Someone asked if there were Democrats that wanted to defund the police, and in fact there are, and his answer was to... talk about vampires? On what Earth is this called sharp? This was a complete non-sequitur. His response to something that was a big slogan among many Democrats during 2020 is to bring up a crazy conspiracy tabloid myth?
He was pointing out that if you want to talk about how some democratic congresspeople want to defund the police (like four) you should balance that against the number of Republican congresspeople who think Democrats literally eat babies (also like four). One of these things is far more insane to say.
Edit: in case it isn’t obvious, it’s the baby eating.
The funny thing is it would still be insane if ALL they thought about the dems was "they eat babies" but the laundry list of insane, unfounded, and frankly just batshit impossible things the right has declared about their opposition, to justify their actions, is a mile long. They just spout shit that is often biologically/scientifically impossible as if it's the "god's honest truth" because fucker carlson spewed it out of his mouth one night, and compound it on other insane bullshit they cook up, making this russian nesting doll of insanity, that they base their entire lives, and political policies on. And no amount of rational debate or discussion with them will make they see reason, because they are unreasonable. They just see it as more fake news, part of the liberal agenda, and discount all of it, and go back to fucking the nearest flag, bible, and bald eagle they can get their jingo little hands on.
Not really, I wouldn't call it senile. He's just at an age where his faculties are pretty limited. Senile is more like what Reagan was going through, if were speaking in strict terms which I'm sure were not. Could be better, could be worse. In 2021 I find the most comfort simply from Biden being generally disinterested in gossip or clickbait news. Theres something empathetic about him seeming to be generally worn out and tired of the bullshit 24/7 news cycle. I think his age plays a role in that so maybe its a minor boon?
I struggle to complain, there was a point during the crisis where in I tried to go to the grocery store and all the meat, dairy and anything resembling the two was gone. All the paper products were gone and when I left people were fighting in the parking lot over ramen. I ended up stuck eating frozen burritos for a month. During that whole presidency it was just non-stop threats of war, of banning this and banning that with 3am tweets. Pressuring stock spikes on fox news. I know that excites some people, but I like stability. I got a mortgage and a retirement fund.
If he's old and losing track of shit, it's fine by me. He's got a stable, competent team that can make complex decisions for him so if he sounds like an idiot when he's getting mics shoved in his face its not like it matters.

Neat. When I was a kid, it was feminazis and communists. When I was a teen, it was union socialists and the Gay Agenda. When I was a young adult, it was death panel islamists. Late 20's, it was radical cultural Marxists. Currently, it's cancel culture and the trans agenda.And apparently "butt nugget"
Quite frankly, the right is and always has been my enemy. They declared it as such and started the fight themselves. And over the course of my life I have watched every single right-wing idea crash and burn spectacularly with great amounts of collateral damage: sometimes figuratively, too often literally.
So why the fuck do you expect me to be "reasonable" and keep giving them a chance? A lot of these fuckers are the exact same fuckers as the first time around, and the ones that aren't are the families and protégés of those fuckers. And before you get too riled up, the Democratic candidates in for Senator and Representative in Montana both ran election campaigns that amounted to "vote for us, we would elect Zombie Reagan if possible" and they're considered moderates for some fucking reason, so I'm lumping a significant chunk of the Democratic Party in with the right.
EDIT: Like for fucks sake, this idiot got elected to Congress. The fuck am I supposed to negotiate with here? We don't even live in the same goddamned reality.

The left is always expected to do all the heavy lifting when it comes to civility and cooperation. Even the moderates, fence-sitters and people too lazy to pick a side have just given the right a pass on shitheadery.
