The bigger news to me is that Howard Stern is still alive and on the air.
That was my very first thought
It’s insane that it might be possible that Trump is allowed to be a candidate
That’s democracy for you.
Well actually the antithesis of democracy, but ig many are taught to believe otherwise
Why would Biden debate him? After all he’s the omnipotent president of the United States of America and therefore unilaterally legally immune to all mortal laws, legislation, litigation and prosecution according to Conservative doctrine.
I’d like to see Biden ask him one question. “Mr ex president facing 91 felonies, please elaborate for me, this presidential immunity…In detail…while I clean my gun”
I’d just bring a spray bottle and every time Trump lied, I’d spray him until they ended it.
They would both end up soaked
It would be an epic shitshow.
Edit: Biden literally has nothing to gain from it. There is zero chance that as soon as the mics go live it doesn’t turn into a degenerate shitstorm from Trump, and he’s never going to out shout down a dimentia addled 5yo.
Even if Biden manages some good zingers in there, or some “serious” talking points, the people that need to here them never will.
will you SHUT UP, man?
I think there’s a chance that if he’s able to stay energetic enough throughout it, it may stave off the “yeah trump tried a coup but have you considered biden old?” crowd. This election is very likely to come down to some tight numbers in a handful to states, things like that may very well matter.
It could just as easily absolutely backfire if he has a fuckup though, so it’s risky as hell.
The Biden old crowd has moved on to Gaza. Every so often they replay the hits though.
Apparently the NYT uses it as an old standby, mostly because of their petty butthurt.
I’ve never cared about Biden’s age. Centrists were ageist as hell during the 2016 primaries, and I don’t go there.
Biden supports genocide and he should stop. No matter how much it would disappoint centrist Democrats.
You’re not going to find many people here that disagree with that. We’re just well aware that as awful as Biden is regarding it, there’s a 0% chance Trump isn’t miles worse. Anyone who doesn’t want to accept that is delusional.
You’re not going to find many people here that disagree with that.
You’d think so, wouldn’t you.
You go on to insinuate that I’m a trumper for saying anything that isn’t flat out worship of Biden and his support for genocide.
Not sure where I implied that at all. I simply said expecting Trump to be any better on the issue is moronic.
So you weren’t doing the “you think trump would be better?” thing?
Biden doesn’t see it as a genocide and neither do a lot of people.
A lot of people don’t see the Holocaust as a genocide. Those people are stupid.
7,000,000 > 30,000. You sound overly emotional. Check your figures.
Are you saying that 30,000 is acceptable to you?
I love the Biden is old so we have to vote for the other old guy argument.
I really don’t understand someone who is so addled/low-info as to honestly come to such a conclusion, but apparently a lot of them exist. So a candidate is old as hell, who GAF? Donnie is nearly as old as him anyway, and it’s not like there won’t be a VP, a cabinet, etc…
I seriously wonder how long people will cling to that as things like life extension become a reality, I really do…humans can be very, very stupid as a group, even as there is a subset of humans doing absolutely amazing and incredible things to extend our technological reach…I almost wish there was a way nearly all humans could get an IQ upgrade before some of these other breakthroughs, so all the dumbasses don’t hold us back and/or end the whole thing due to their blinkered existence.
I’d be okay if they do it virtually or behind a screen where the rules are clear and they mute you when it’s not your turn to speak.
It should be a debate, not a loudness contest.
The radicalized right wing views very loud Gish Gallops of horse manure to be the very picture of “strong leader”.
The amount of work campaigners and media are doing to try to keep these two walking corpses to appear vaguely conscience is a real testament to the effectiveness of the modern campaign apparatus.
Most braindead take. Biden is getting shit done.
Trump is under 91 indictments and was found to be a rapist.
Biden is getting shit done
Facilitating a genocide and banning social media apps? You’re right, that is shit.
I remember when I was 13.
I don’t understand this statement. It seems like you’re implying that people grow out of the belief that genocide is bad. If so, fuck you.
You’re post just had me remembering that childlike confidence in my opinions I had back when I thought I knew things but actually had no idea about anything, let alone foreign policy.
Well I’m happy to hear you’ve matured so much in the year and a half since then
I’m not saying they’re politically the same, because obviously they’re not. Trump being such a danger to American democracy and the health and safety of many Americans is why I’m highlighting this absurdity.
I’m saying if you were in a room talking to either of these octogenarians, you’d probably be uncomfortable handing either of them a loaded gun let alone the nuclear codes and command authority over a military super power.
We shouldn’t have to be choosing between two people this old. Age and cognitive decline is an unavoidable fact, but the DNC and raw fear of “changing horses midstream” by democratic voters has us hoping that we’ll get an 86 year old leaving office in four years.
Because the stakes are so high and the consequences between Trump and not-Trump are so important, it’s insane to be running Biden as the alternative. There basically running at a dead heat right now, and I can’t help but think that might no be the case if we weren’t running the Crypt Keeper against Cheetolini.
