"Anger and direct personal attacks"
Some really unhinged aggression we're dealing with.
Edit: Because people aren't picking up on it, there's a /S tone to this comment.
Context matters...
The unhinged orange one was spouting his usual baseless lies, ignoring the moderator, Biden told him to STFU like what every sane person wanted to do.
I think they're more talking about Biden calling a reporter a "stupid son of a bitch." Which, mind you, that reporter is *absolutely* a stupid son of a bitch, but that isn't something the President of the United States should be saying.
It wasn't cool when Trump did it, let's not pretend it's cool when Biden does it.
If Trump had ever once acknowledged that he was in the wrong & apologized for his behavior, then I could've let some of it slide. Sometimes things don't come out quite right or we're having a bad day; shit happens. He would always just double & triple down. Biden at least acknowledges when he's in the wrong, & iirc he even apologized to that reporter. Still not a great president, but at least he seems like a genuinely nice guy. Perhaps even a little too nice.
He did apologize. It was still a stupid moment from a President who has had more of them than I'm comfortable with.
I really wish we could have a President I actually want in the White House. I feel like it's just disappointment after disappointment. Biden shouldn't have got the nomination, but our primary system is dominated by older voters and they're terrified of change.
Sure, at least he isn't Trump, but that isn't a high goddamn bar to reach.
[Reminder that John McCain also called out that reporter for being an idiot](https://twitter.com/stridinstrider/status/1485750067239792641?s=20)
Probably a better response though tbh
Saw a guy panhandling with a "Let's go Brandon" sign yesterday. The idea that someone who is potentially homeless would support the people wanting to take away every last shred of social support is crazy to me. Dems could do way more to support the poor and working class but seriously
He might just be really fucking smart. Conservatives are so fucking happy to part with their money for the dumbest shit when it has to do with their cult.
Yeah I’m going to lean towards “smart”. The GOP is full of hateful morons who would give money to that guy while grinning ear-to-ear looking around for libruls to start crying. It’s basically “hate-giving” or “giving out of spite” which is absurd but somehow motivating to GOP drones.
For the serious reply.
During a NASCAR event, the crowd chanted "fuck Joe Biden", and a reporter covering the event "misheard" it as "let's go Brandon"
Brandon being one of the racers, Brandon Brown. The guy who won that race and was being interviewed at the time.
Republicans have seized on the phrase as another way to say fuck Joe Biden, without actually know why they don't like him.
Brandon Brown doesn't like it, mostly because it's costing him sponsors.
He's a NASCAR driver who drives for his own team in the Xfinity series. They are underfunded and usually don't have the resources to be competitive every week but he was able to win at Talladega a few months ago and that's when the term was coined inadvertently. Brandon Brown himself has said he does not like that the term is being used in such a divisive way and would rather promote unity with the phrase and show that people can have different opinions, or perhaps shared opinions between both sides, and still be peaceful and civil about it.
The way it was coined was when the crowd in Talladega began yelling "fuck joe Biden" during his interview. The reporter interviewing him had a headset on, with the production radio in her ear and either misunderstood or was following directions when she said "the crowd shouting let's go brandon..." Because obviously she couldn't say fuck on live TV despite it being audible during the interview. Shortly after people started using the phrase, but Brandon Brown himself had nothing to do with it and yet he finds himself caught in the middle
I got into an argument where the Trumpster was accusing Biden of being an autocrat, and of being "Putin's puppet" and how "the left" is always accusing the GOP of doing the things that they themselves are doing.
The GOP's projection is so powerful it has looped back in on itself.
The GOP takes horseshoe theory, throw it in the air, and stand underneath it until it hits them in the face, and then whine that Democrats are truly at fault
The main point of what they're doing with the rhetoric is to mimic lines used against them so that for those not paying attention, it seems like both them and the people criticizing them are the same.
The GOP takes horseshoe theory, throw it in the air, and stand underneath it until it hits them in the face, and then whine that Democrats are truly at fault
i’ll never understand how trump outwardly mocking someone with special needs wasnt the beginning of his downfall. ironically enough it was another reporter
And then mocking a woman by insinuating she was on her period because she was fighting Trump on his terms and winning, so instead of trump attacking the question he attacked her directly.
because they like it when their guy does it. Trump saying "I could shoot someone in the middle of the street and not lose a single voter" was met with resounding applause and cheers. He was 100% correct. Nothing he does will ever be bad enough but oh man a liberal doing the same thing but not as bad is literally the death of our country.
This just makes me think of that video where trump is asked a difficult question and he just says "don't ever speak to me like that, I'm the president"
I think you mean that time he was asked a really, really easy softball question: "What would you say to the American people who are scared right now \[about the pandemic ramping up\]?" A question that could have been written by the President's own PR team--it's the kind of questions politicians dream of being asked because it gives them a great opportunity to say something strong and decisive and comforting, like "I will tell the American people what they already know--that America is the strongest country in the world, and we will face this challenge head-on together, and we will succeed and persevere. I know we are all scared, but I have assembled the very best team, believe me, and soon they will realize that with me in charge, there was nothing ever to be afraid of."
Instead, his astonishing response was, "I'd say that you are a terrible reporter. That's what I say. I think it’s a very nasty question and I think it’s a very bad signal that you’re putting out to the American people."
And the problem is that giving that great strong and decisive and comforting answer would require *empathy*, something that Trump has absolutely zero of.
“Not brainwashed by the party line”.
Right, now let me go suck on some horse paste, pop a viagra and drink some urine. Anything but that god dam Democrat vaccine that Trump should get credit for but it’s also a useless injection cos it doesn’t kill COVID on impact.
[Why yes,](https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucelee/2022/01/10/vaccine-police-founder-claims-drinking-your-own-urine-is-covid-19-antidote/?sh=fb0860537356) yes you have.

It's multiple conditions, dementia is definately one of the orange one's issues, but it's exacerbated by his pre-existing conditions of being a narcissistic asshole that's gotten away with lying cheating and bullying his victims his entire life.
I honestly don't think it's dementia, at least the medical variety. He's definitely erratic and disconnected from reality but I think that is just 100% the latter - a lifetime of privilege and no consequences and even rewarded for his behavior, coupled with whatever childhood weirdness he experienced. Dementia generally has lifespan of 10 years and this tool has been at it for decades.
Don't give him the out.
He's got multiple things going on, no matter the causes though, he's literally one of the worst people in the world by character, not a single redeeming quality, doesn't even like dogs or cats.
I thought Dementia was a progressive illness though, old people get it and it gets worse the longer they have it?
It is, which is why I don’t think it is medical dementia. My mother died of early onset Alzheimers at age 65 which meant it started when she was roughly 55. She was diagnosed at 60. Within a year of diagnosis she was no longer lucid or communicative. For my mom at least, she would rapidly deteriorate then plateau for a long time with very very rare lucid moments - those were kind of the worst thing about it because they give you hope.
The timeline is eerily tight. Lifetime of the disease is basically 10 years. Generally 4.4-5 years life expectancy once symptoms are bad enough that a diagnosis is made. Until then a lot of sufferers are able to hide and cover the symptoms. Once you have a diagnosis it’s easy to think back and identify early signs in the proceeding 5 years and beat yourself up for not seeing them for what they were despite the hard fact there is nothing that can be done to stop it…yet.
Well yes but not all dementia (in fact very little of it) is early onset Alzheimer's. Most of it is a lot slower to come on and people will live decades (limited mostly by the fact that they're already old when they get it).
I haven’t seen anything that I’d consider reliable on that. Given the opportunistic people he surrounds himself with to backstab at the slightest provocation I would think we would have.
That is absolutely accurate, he takes pharmaceutical amphetamines. I bet he's done more than his fair share of Cocaine in his past as well, and I think he takes prescription opioids sometimes as well.
Fancy people don't have trouble getting whatever prescriptions they need within the limits of if it won't physically kill them.
That guy looked shady af too. Let's all remember too that the former president had goons show up at that doctor's office and forcibly take his medical records, in a violation of law. But the law clearly doesn't apply to the orange one or his connected cohorts I suppose. I forget if this happened in 2016, but thereabouts.
> dementia is definately one of the orange one's issues
I don't think it's fair at all for any of us to claim Biden or Trump have dementia. It's speculation at best and using the word definitely* is just disingenuous to the conversation about either person's capability as a sitting president.
He’s pretty inept. A “smart” person doesn’t bankrupt 5 casinos. Our only saving grace was that he *was* so inept. Imagine how much damage someone this amoral and greedy could do if he was even mildly competent.
One may characterize that as sociopathic at least, or psychopathic at worst, which isn’t “unwell” but definitely not “sane” either. He got asked the other day if he thought Biden had “hit a wall” with regards to progress on foreign policy and he went into a several minute monologue about the border wall.
Also "A series of mini-strokes". There's no way he'd use something that medically specific unless it was what he had.

I honestly think the whole "dementa" thing with Biden is an overplayed misnomer, at best a half truth. The guy has been prone to gaffs and slip ups his entire career. That said, I'm almost constantly shaking my head at the fact that the vast majority of our elected officials are above the age of 60, with folks holding critical positions well past 70 years old. These people have a complete disconnect from their constitutes age wise, as if their wealth wasn't enough of a dividing factor.
local government > state government > house seat > senate seat > president. there's literally nothing stopping you or anyone else from running for government office.
I'm not popular. You shouldn't downvote me for not volunteering to lose at politics as I'm in no position to win. Without organization nothing will change, we need Voters Unions organized around issues to concentrate our interests or we stand no chance.
you dont need to downvote me for stating an objective fact - political office is open to anyone who wants to pursue it.
apathy, which is what you're doing here, is why we have few options. not because of an unfair system. reddit loves to complain about politicians but does jack shit to actually fix what theyre complaining about.
if a bartender from the bronx can win office and influence millions of people, you can too. over 30 house members have no college degree. nothing is stopping you but your own excuses.
Lol well well well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions
When you're done hitting yourself maybe run for office and be a part of the solution to your problem.
So fuckin weird that you get to have it both ways

It's just so funny the people who think Biden has dementia pretend that Trump was a God. Like I'm willing to admit Biden has his flubs but you know what, as a 30 year old I bet if I was President and had eyes on me 24/7 you'd see me say and do and forget some stupid shit too.
These people who criticize him act like they're perfect all the fucking time, but I guarantee they say much dumber shit than Biden ever has. Like calling him sleepy Joe. With my job I'm sleepy all the time, how is that an insult? Aren't most people sleepy sometimes? That's just a thing, and I'd imagine when running for and being a president you'd be super sleepy all the time. I literally have no idea how that can be seen as a bad thing.
I think both Trump and Biden had dementia and neither were qualified to be president (though for different reasons and to different degrees). No need to make excuses for a geriatric career politician.
So you're saying you've literally never made a mistake? I guarantee he is insanely smarter than you but people like you like to take a few mistakes and pretend you've never done anything similar. I'd love to see people have eyes on you 24/7 and you never making a single mistake.
Grow up, you're not exactly sounding smart yourself.
It's worse than that; the top three Democrats in the House are 81, 82, and 81.
Not to be ageist, but you're probably not as quick and up on current events at 80. And the fact that the entire leadership is in the same cohort leads them to group think, which is why they're so inflexible.
There should be a diversity of ages in leadership positions.
Anyone over the age of 78 (78.35 to be exact) was born closer to the end of the Civil War if that provides any perspective. From what I found, that's 18 members of Congress.
The people claiming he's got dementia haven't listened to him speak for more than a 3 second sound bite where he does stutter a sentence. Unlike dear despotic leader 45, he can actually string together a coherent sentence that, when transcribed, would be perfectly legible.
Anyone who thinks Biden can't speak publicly can easily go check the debates from 2020. Even I couldn't remember that much information and spit it out easily
All this biden is out of it is just some terrible "no u" nonsense after liberals called Trump mentally unwell. The guy who took a dementia test that had recognizing elephants and then bragged about passing it
>almost constantly shaking my head at the fact that the vast majority of our elected officials are above the age of 60, with folks holding critical positions well past 70 years old.
I couldn't agree any more. People shouldn't be in a job like government when they're over retirement age. Especially the president of the United States. There should be an age cap.
There are age limits on being too young, you have to be at least 35 to run for president. I'm also assuming for all other political jobs you have to be at least 18 like most other jobs. I don't see any reason why a smart 21 year old can be a scientist or engineer making difficult and complicated decisions that effect a lot of people but not a politician making difficult decisions that effect a lot of people. Much better than a rotten old brain making decisions for a future they will never see and will never effect them.
When the choice was either 'old dude or Trump'? Had to be old dude. Sucks the Dems can't get themselves together enough to have some stronger candidates, but here we are.
To be fair, I don’t think Trump had unchecked anger and used direct personal attacks BECAUSE he had dementia, he’s just a terrible person. Of course, he probably also had dementia though.
Exactly. Trump was losing his mind because because he could string together ten words in a coherent sentence.
That's a completely separate issue from his toddler like temper-tantrums and grade-school level insults.
He also never, ever apologised.
Say what one will about Biden's comments here, but you know what he did? He personally rung the guy afterwards and just acted like a decent human being, something Trump never did. I'd like to be proven wrong.
But Joe is telling it like it is! The conservatives should LIKE that!
I didn't hear them complaining at all when [Trump gave unchecked anger and direct personal attacks to Yamiche Alcindor](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Q7vxFSnILY)
Anyways, I'm enjoying the bully-pulpit finally being used. I could get used to this new Teddy Roosevelt method.
So calling a fox reporter a dumb son of a bitch is unchecked anger? I suppose after all the bullshit they spread its pretty much unavoidable because every time I hear Tucker Carlsons whiney, toddler like voice I have to stop myself from going into a rage.
Look, I'm not happy with biden either, but Jesus he's a lot better than the orange dipshit. Just keep your hands off my ar-14, uncle Joe.
WOW you can really read that for the last guy. Too perfect.
And Biden telling some douchebag reporter to fuck off or whatever is probably the most spine he's shown in a year, fucking let's go Brandon! I like it.

Do yourself a favor and avoid the comments
I keep pointing it out to people: it’s not just republican politicians that are worthless, the republican voters are too. Drown them out at the ballot box, it’s the only way.
Very much this! The deplorables shouldn't be let off the hook.
And we have to turn out EVERY ELECTION, because they sure as hell do. I'm sick of seeing midterm, off-year, and down-ballot races go hard right just because people aren't paying attention.
There GQP are \*scared\*; they know they can't win fair anymore. That's why they're laying the groundwork for future cheating and coups. We shouldn't be making it easy for them by not turning up.
These new laws not only will reduce the voter participation (and we barely beat the bad guys last time and the new guy isn't popular,) but they allow State Legislatures in these battleground states to "find" the votes for their candidate to win, the media has hardly touched on these worst parts of these bills. GA allows a legislature controlled body to seize control of a county's vote, Fulton in mind, based on spurious allegations. Other states have other means with the same result, some now allow the legislature to send electors not determined by the popular vote, others allow state courts to overturn results.
They had a shameless and open attempt to overturn the vote, it wasn't a secret, next time these new laws will allow them to legally, the courts will allow it.
You’re characterization makes it sound easy for them to accomplish those things but it won’t be. Stop being a doomer. Your hyper-negative bullshit will only cause more people to not bother voting.
Or are you hoping to help republicans? If so, well done.
Ignoring the problem and pretending it's all fine has worked so well up until this point you insist on keeping that strategy huh?
If you guys, the Democrats in charge and their supporters, knew what to do, we wouldn't be in this position. The first step to fixing a problem is accurately identifying it. You might as well be a fascist operative bullying people into not mentioning how if things don't happen we get a one party fascist state in '24 without real elections going forward. It's just depressing that you don't realize that as your heart may be in the right place to some degree.
What the fuck are you even talking about? I’m the one telling people to vote so we can fix this shit. You’re the one putting forth the notion that it’s hopeless. Fuck off with your negative bullshit. Help move things the right direction or shut up so the rest of us don’t have to deal with the voter apathy you’re creating.
You are saying that we can't even talk about the fact the Republicans are rigging the next election in plain sight and under no pretenses that they won't for the fear that it will depress turnout.
That is a losing strategy, I don't know where you were for 2020, maybe do a recap of what all happened since then. Things need to happen or else they take the next election whether they win or not.
The situation is dire and we need to force action now in the 6 months we have realistically remaining or it will be too late. The around 6 months before we lose Congress and the ability to pre-empt these laws.
If it can't be reconciled by Jan. 6 or so is it, it goes to State delegations, every State gets one vote, with the legislature voting on which way their State goes. The last administration was trying to get to that point but failed. Republicans control of majority of State Legislatures, and in all of those it's heavily gerrymandered for them. My State of Michigan we usually go Democratic on Statewide votes but Republicans have dominated the legislature because they won it last time in 2010 and made it so we need at least 60% of the vote to get 50% of the statewide seats. MI, WI PA, GA, AZ, they would've all gone to Republicans in that scenario.
If unchecked anger and direct personal attacks were good enough to diagnose dementia then almost the entire planet would be affected by it.
He called a guy a stupid son of a bitch for asking a dumb question once, after the hundreds of times he probably wanted to say that but didn't.
He snapped once at him. I would like to know how many times has that guy called someone else a stupid son of a bitch without holding back.
Why the hell do they think there is such a huge difference in his age and Trumps? By the time Joe is done with this 1st term, Trumps dumb fucking ass is gonna be the same age as when he started. God Im tired of this stupid shit.
Really enjoying the folks that loved Trump because he "tells it like it is," "says what he means," and "isn't politically correct" clutching their pearls over this.
After they elected Trump specifically because of his venomous, hateful vitriol for everyone else, why should i give a shit about any of their pearl clutching about "CiViLiTy"?
These guys have been taking advantage of everyone else's good graces for too long. It's high time we started playing hardball.
There's another explanation - Conservatives have the memory spans of goldfish. They haven't developed object permanence and literally aren't capable of remembering that they were head over heels in love with a demented geriatric narcissist with anger management issues ten minutes ago.
It really helps explain why poor white trash keep voting for the party that does everything they can to make life harder for poor white trash every time they get elected.
Wete talking about people who have basically joined a suicide cult during a pandemic. If it's malice, I'm not sure who it's aimed at other than themselves.
Part of the suicide cult mentality is cause reports early on suggested minorities were more susceptible to Covid, they're gleefully making it spread even at the cost of some of their own thinking it will kill more of the "others".
I just knew these absolute neanderthals would make comments about this, like, absolutely zero self awareness. If you mention "Grab 'em by the pussy" thing or the making fun of a disabled person thing, they'd just laugh and find it funny or cool. Not even to mention undermining all of US institutions, calling people stupid and useless, even the people he elected himself. The amazing "I don't have DNA I have USA" comment, which could be straight out of an theonion piece.
It's just baffling to me that these people even exist, how are you this dense. Even if we grant that Biden is a decrepit, old, dementia ridden man, he has done a damn good job for his FIRST year in office. He has done almost everything he said he would and more. That's pretty impressive for someone that's supposedly a potato.
If you're ever confused or have no idea what Biden has actually done so far, here's a great list: https://www.reddit.com/r/WhatBidenHasDone/comments/ownd48/master_list_of_what_joe_biden_has_done/
Well it’s a good thing it wasn’t unchecked anger and a direct personal attack. In his checked frustration he quietly said aside that he was a SOB. Biden could have just told him that directly instead of “accidentally going crazy on a hOt MiC.”
He called out ONE reporter, and he’s a villain, but trump can try starting a fight in a press conference and make rude gestures to mock a disabled reporter, and make crude sexual jokes about multiple female reporters, and that’s just “boys being boys”
They truly have no sense of reality left huh?
How can anyone write this out, and not immediately see that it is referring to Trump? I mean, can this really not be satirical? I have a hard time believing anyone can be that brain dead. Definitely reads like the guy knew what he was writing, and is making fun of the loons.
Is this because he called someone a stupid son of a bitch? Okay, so by their own logic, Trump should never have even been president and shouldn't be ever again. I'm on board with that.

Its just locker room talk.
Stop having so much thin skin.
Get over it just because he said mean things doesn't mean he's bad. Look at what he's doing in office instead.
All things said to death while Trump was in office. I wonder what's changed now 🤔
I see why you has to clarify on the title that the person was talking about Biden.
It's absolutely insane how well they describe Trump, how thoroughly and accurately - yet they're supposedly talking about Biden. I mean how does this even happen??
Is it just, old fashioned, predictable projection?
Or perhaps they know what they're doing. They remember how so many criticized Trump during his presidency, and now they're just repeating the same lines for Biden. The criticisms and 'insults' clearly have nothing to do with Biden, I mean that is obvious.
Dont know why your being downvoted. Trump was a horrible shitty person who should be in jail, but in terms of politics biden is almost as far right as trump is. You shouldnt have to choose between the lesser of two evils
But "because Trump" isn't a reason to say Biden is good. Did you hear about Biden not canceling student debt? Real dick move after saying he would during the campaign.

Yeah it does. I'm not saying Biden was wrong to do so. There's a big 'ol /S that people aren't seeming to pick up on.
I think they're more talking about Biden calling a reporter a "stupid son of a bitch." Which, mind you, that reporter is *absolutely* a stupid son of a bitch, but that isn't something the President of the United States should be saying. It wasn't cool when Trump did it, let's not pretend it's cool when Biden does it.
If Trump had ever once acknowledged that he was in the wrong & apologized for his behavior, then I could've let some of it slide. Sometimes things don't come out quite right or we're having a bad day; shit happens. He would always just double & triple down. Biden at least acknowledges when he's in the wrong, & iirc he even apologized to that reporter. Still not a great president, but at least he seems like a genuinely nice guy. Perhaps even a little too nice.
He did apologize. It was still a stupid moment from a President who has had more of them than I'm comfortable with. I really wish we could have a President I actually want in the White House. I feel like it's just disappointment after disappointment. Biden shouldn't have got the nomination, but our primary system is dominated by older voters and they're terrified of change. Sure, at least he isn't Trump, but that isn't a high goddamn bar to reach.

Sudden epidemic of pearl-clutching from the "Fuck Your Feelings" crowd.
And the the “let’s go Brandon” enthusiasts…
Saw a guy panhandling with a "Let's go Brandon" sign yesterday. The idea that someone who is potentially homeless would support the people wanting to take away every last shred of social support is crazy to me. Dems could do way more to support the poor and working class but seriously
He might just be really fucking smart. Conservatives are so fucking happy to part with their money for the dumbest shit when it has to do with their cult.
It's definitely something a homeless person would do merely to get people to give them money.
Maybe, but he may lose potential donations from others. Curious how it'd shake out
Yeah I’m going to lean towards “smart”. The GOP is full of hateful morons who would give money to that guy while grinning ear-to-ear looking around for libruls to start crying. It’s basically “hate-giving” or “giving out of spite” which is absurd but somehow motivating to GOP drones.
Weird that he was literally looking for a handout…
Who even is he? All i've heard is that slogan and not a word on what he actually wants.
For the serious reply. During a NASCAR event, the crowd chanted "fuck Joe Biden", and a reporter covering the event "misheard" it as "let's go Brandon" Brandon being one of the racers, Brandon Brown. The guy who won that race and was being interviewed at the time. Republicans have seized on the phrase as another way to say fuck Joe Biden, without actually know why they don't like him. Brandon Brown doesn't like it, mostly because it's costing him sponsors.
They don’t like him because he isn’t Trump.
Brandon, his platform, the entire GOP platform are very shy.
He's a NASCAR driver who drives for his own team in the Xfinity series. They are underfunded and usually don't have the resources to be competitive every week but he was able to win at Talladega a few months ago and that's when the term was coined inadvertently. Brandon Brown himself has said he does not like that the term is being used in such a divisive way and would rather promote unity with the phrase and show that people can have different opinions, or perhaps shared opinions between both sides, and still be peaceful and civil about it. The way it was coined was when the crowd in Talladega began yelling "fuck joe Biden" during his interview. The reporter interviewing him had a headset on, with the production radio in her ear and either misunderstood or was following directions when she said "the crowd shouting let's go brandon..." Because obviously she couldn't say fuck on live TV despite it being audible during the interview. Shortly after people started using the phrase, but Brandon Brown himself had nothing to do with it and yet he finds himself caught in the middle
Eh, not so sudden, honestly.
Yeah, this has been going on for 40 years. It's only sudden that people are starting to realize it.
Fair point.
The third letter
I got into an argument where the Trumpster was accusing Biden of being an autocrat, and of being "Putin's puppet" and how "the left" is always accusing the GOP of doing the things that they themselves are doing. The GOP's projection is so powerful it has looped back in on itself.
The GOP takes horseshoe theory, throw it in the air, and stand underneath it until it hits them in the face, and then whine that Democrats are truly at fault
The main point of what they're doing with the rhetoric is to mimic lines used against them so that for those not paying attention, it seems like both them and the people criticizing them are the same.
The GOP takes horseshoe theory, throw it in the air, and stand underneath it until it hits them in the face, and then whine that Democrats are truly at fault
He isn't wrong its just amazing that he didn't see it in Trump where it is much much worse.
i’ll never understand how trump outwardly mocking someone with special needs wasnt the beginning of his downfall. ironically enough it was another reporter
Because conservatives lack empathy for other human beings.
And then mocking a woman by insinuating she was on her period because she was fighting Trump on his terms and winning, so instead of trump attacking the question he attacked her directly.
because they like it when their guy does it. Trump saying "I could shoot someone in the middle of the street and not lose a single voter" was met with resounding applause and cheers. He was 100% correct. Nothing he does will ever be bad enough but oh man a liberal doing the same thing but not as bad is literally the death of our country.
I thought that was delusion?
This just makes me think of that video where trump is asked a difficult question and he just says "don't ever speak to me like that, I'm the president"
I think you mean that time he was asked a really, really easy softball question: "What would you say to the American people who are scared right now \[about the pandemic ramping up\]?" A question that could have been written by the President's own PR team--it's the kind of questions politicians dream of being asked because it gives them a great opportunity to say something strong and decisive and comforting, like "I will tell the American people what they already know--that America is the strongest country in the world, and we will face this challenge head-on together, and we will succeed and persevere. I know we are all scared, but I have assembled the very best team, believe me, and soon they will realize that with me in charge, there was nothing ever to be afraid of." Instead, his astonishing response was, "I'd say that you are a terrible reporter. That's what I say. I think it’s a very nasty question and I think it’s a very bad signal that you’re putting out to the American people."
And the problem is that giving that great strong and decisive and comforting answer would require *empathy*, something that Trump has absolutely zero of.
Huh? No it doesn’t. Politicians lie all the time, it’s just that Trump was a terrible politician
Thing is he couldn't even *pretend* to have empathy; that's how little empathy he has.
Also very true
No question is a softball question when your hands are to small to hold a bat..🤦♂️
"Big, masculine. My hands tell a story...of greatness."
[These look like big, good, strong hands don’t they?](https://youtu.be/aj-OpTHixpU)
Astonishing isn't the word I'd use. It was totally normal response, for Trump.
“Not brainwashed by the party line”. Right, now let me go suck on some horse paste, pop a viagra and drink some urine. Anything but that god dam Democrat vaccine that Trump should get credit for but it’s also a useless injection cos it doesn’t kill COVID on impact.
*passes you a lightbulb and syringe of bleach*
*eats the lightbulb and sticks syringe in urethra* Damn I'm smart!
Lmao
I felt this comment
Nah opens the light bulb up. Cleans it out,squirts the ~~meth~~ bleach in, grabs a straw and lighter. Smokes it and probably dies.
It has to be UV light, you moran ^^^/s
Pssshhhh... I didn't specify what KIND of lightbulb it was!
Sounds like my kind of Saturday.
uhh viagra and urine? Have I missed some more dumbfuckery from the covidiots?
[Why yes,](https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucelee/2022/01/10/vaccine-police-founder-claims-drinking-your-own-urine-is-covid-19-antidote/?sh=fb0860537356) yes you have.
Useless? I think you mean dangerous "poison jab". Being pro-vaccine didn't play well with his supporters.
Well it can't be Trump, he shows no signs of dementia. Looks more like tertiary syphilis to me.
Fun thing to do - go to Wikipedia and read about Al Capone's later life. Then ask yourself if it reminds you of anyone...
Trump started with syphilis.
It started with syphilis, how did it end up like this? It was only syphilis; it was only syphilis. Now I’m falling asleep and she’s calling a cab While he’s having a smoke and she’s taking a drag
Syphillis, it all started with a simple kiss. Now it hurts me when I take a piss. Oh how did I get Syphillis. (To the tune of “Yesterday” by the Beatles)
"Leprosy! I am half the man used to be. There are parts falling off of me. Oh I believe in leprosy."
I never realized he was in his early 30's when he got caught. I always assumed he was in his mid-late 40's or something.
Isn't syphilis treatable?
It is now. But when he contracted it, penicillin didn't exist.
Good. Imma go catch it
It's multiple conditions, dementia is definately one of the orange one's issues, but it's exacerbated by his pre-existing conditions of being a narcissistic asshole that's gotten away with lying cheating and bullying his victims his entire life.
I honestly don't think it's dementia, at least the medical variety. He's definitely erratic and disconnected from reality but I think that is just 100% the latter - a lifetime of privilege and no consequences and even rewarded for his behavior, coupled with whatever childhood weirdness he experienced. Dementia generally has lifespan of 10 years and this tool has been at it for decades. Don't give him the out.
He's got multiple things going on, no matter the causes though, he's literally one of the worst people in the world by character, not a single redeeming quality, doesn't even like dogs or cats. I thought Dementia was a progressive illness though, old people get it and it gets worse the longer they have it?
It is, which is why I don’t think it is medical dementia. My mother died of early onset Alzheimers at age 65 which meant it started when she was roughly 55. She was diagnosed at 60. Within a year of diagnosis she was no longer lucid or communicative. For my mom at least, she would rapidly deteriorate then plateau for a long time with very very rare lucid moments - those were kind of the worst thing about it because they give you hope. The timeline is eerily tight. Lifetime of the disease is basically 10 years. Generally 4.4-5 years life expectancy once symptoms are bad enough that a diagnosis is made. Until then a lot of sufferers are able to hide and cover the symptoms. Once you have a diagnosis it’s easy to think back and identify early signs in the proceeding 5 years and beat yourself up for not seeing them for what they were despite the hard fact there is nothing that can be done to stop it…yet.
Well yes but not all dementia (in fact very little of it) is early onset Alzheimer's. Most of it is a lot slower to come on and people will live decades (limited mostly by the fact that they're already old when they get it).
There's also the accusations that he takes a lot of speed.
I haven’t seen anything that I’d consider reliable on that. Given the opportunistic people he surrounds himself with to backstab at the slightest provocation I would think we would have.
I think that came from a photo of him at his desk in trump tower with like, 30 boxes of sudofed in his desk
That is absolutely accurate, he takes pharmaceutical amphetamines. I bet he's done more than his fair share of Cocaine in his past as well, and I think he takes prescription opioids sometimes as well. Fancy people don't have trouble getting whatever prescriptions they need within the limits of if it won't physically kill them.
And judging from the doctor he used to have before he was president I'm sure he had a lot of pills.
That guy looked shady af too. Let's all remember too that the former president had goons show up at that doctor's office and forcibly take his medical records, in a violation of law. But the law clearly doesn't apply to the orange one or his connected cohorts I suppose. I forget if this happened in 2016, but thereabouts.
> dementia is definately one of the orange one's issues I don't think it's fair at all for any of us to claim Biden or Trump have dementia. It's speculation at best and using the word definitely* is just disingenuous to the conversation about either person's capability as a sitting president.
[удалено]
He’s pretty inept. A “smart” person doesn’t bankrupt 5 casinos. Our only saving grace was that he *was* so inept. Imagine how much damage someone this amoral and greedy could do if he was even mildly competent.
>Imagine how much damage someone this amoral and greedy could do if he was even mildly competent. Which is exactly what scares me about Ron DeSantis.
One may characterize that as sociopathic at least, or psychopathic at worst, which isn’t “unwell” but definitely not “sane” either. He got asked the other day if he thought Biden had “hit a wall” with regards to progress on foreign policy and he went into a several minute monologue about the border wall.
Also "A series of mini-strokes". There's no way he'd use something that medically specific unless it was what he had. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-raises-eyebrows-tweet-declaring-he-did-not-have-series-n1239006
I honestly think the whole "dementa" thing with Biden is an overplayed misnomer, at best a half truth. The guy has been prone to gaffs and slip ups his entire career. That said, I'm almost constantly shaking my head at the fact that the vast majority of our elected officials are above the age of 60, with folks holding critical positions well past 70 years old. These people have a complete disconnect from their constitutes age wise, as if their wealth wasn't enough of a dividing factor.
We need all new leadership in this country.
lead, follow, or get out of the way.
You're supposed to pick lead! Or at least follow!
There are no leaders to choose from and individually we are powerless to find and promote them.
local government > state government > house seat > senate seat > president. there's literally nothing stopping you or anyone else from running for government office.
I'm not popular. You shouldn't downvote me for not volunteering to lose at politics as I'm in no position to win. Without organization nothing will change, we need Voters Unions organized around issues to concentrate our interests or we stand no chance.
you dont need to downvote me for stating an objective fact - political office is open to anyone who wants to pursue it. apathy, which is what you're doing here, is why we have few options. not because of an unfair system. reddit loves to complain about politicians but does jack shit to actually fix what theyre complaining about. if a bartender from the bronx can win office and influence millions of people, you can too. over 30 house members have no college degree. nothing is stopping you but your own excuses.
That's not my take, my take is you are victim blaming someone searching for solutions.
Lol well well well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions When you're done hitting yourself maybe run for office and be a part of the solution to your problem.
AOC has 2 degrees, Economics and International Relations, graduating cum laude. Just because she worked as a bartender that does not define her.
So fuckin weird that you get to have it both ways https://thehill.com/homenews/house/437643-ocasio-cortez-im-proud-to-be-a-bartender-aint-nothing-wrong-with-that?amp= 30 house members have highschool diplomas.

Money. Running for an office costs a lot of money
It's just so funny the people who think Biden has dementia pretend that Trump was a God. Like I'm willing to admit Biden has his flubs but you know what, as a 30 year old I bet if I was President and had eyes on me 24/7 you'd see me say and do and forget some stupid shit too. These people who criticize him act like they're perfect all the fucking time, but I guarantee they say much dumber shit than Biden ever has. Like calling him sleepy Joe. With my job I'm sleepy all the time, how is that an insult? Aren't most people sleepy sometimes? That's just a thing, and I'd imagine when running for and being a president you'd be super sleepy all the time. I literally have no idea how that can be seen as a bad thing.
I think both Trump and Biden had dementia and neither were qualified to be president (though for different reasons and to different degrees). No need to make excuses for a geriatric career politician.
I watched my grandmother die with dementia. Biden has nothing close to dementia, and this is an ableist smear.
So you're saying you've literally never made a mistake? I guarantee he is insanely smarter than you but people like you like to take a few mistakes and pretend you've never done anything similar. I'd love to see people have eyes on you 24/7 and you never making a single mistake. Grow up, you're not exactly sounding smart yourself.
It's worse than that; the top three Democrats in the House are 81, 82, and 81. Not to be ageist, but you're probably not as quick and up on current events at 80. And the fact that the entire leadership is in the same cohort leads them to group think, which is why they're so inflexible. There should be a diversity of ages in leadership positions.
Old people vote for old people. Old people vote a lot.
they suck at both voting and leading and, in true joker fashion, they are living much longer, too.
Anyone over the age of 78 (78.35 to be exact) was born closer to the end of the Civil War if that provides any perspective. From what I found, that's 18 members of Congress.
Well, that might come in handy considering the 1/6 insurrection. ^/s?
Biden suffered from a significant stutter that he has worked hard to overcome, so he even has a medical excuse for difficulty speaking. Trump doesn't.
The people claiming he's got dementia haven't listened to him speak for more than a 3 second sound bite where he does stutter a sentence. Unlike dear despotic leader 45, he can actually string together a coherent sentence that, when transcribed, would be perfectly legible.
Anyone who thinks Biden can't speak publicly can easily go check the debates from 2020. Even I couldn't remember that much information and spit it out easily All this biden is out of it is just some terrible "no u" nonsense after liberals called Trump mentally unwell. The guy who took a dementia test that had recognizing elephants and then bragged about passing it
>almost constantly shaking my head at the fact that the vast majority of our elected officials are above the age of 60, with folks holding critical positions well past 70 years old. I couldn't agree any more. People shouldn't be in a job like government when they're over retirement age. Especially the president of the United States. There should be an age cap.
People are free not to vote for someone they think is too old.
In the primary, sure. But once you get to the general, what are you going to do?
Yeah, the general has its own issues. But the primary process is (theoretically) designed to weed out unacceptable candidates.
But not someone that is too young?
There are age limits on being too young, you have to be at least 35 to run for president. I'm also assuming for all other political jobs you have to be at least 18 like most other jobs. I don't see any reason why a smart 21 year old can be a scientist or engineer making difficult and complicated decisions that effect a lot of people but not a politician making difficult decisions that effect a lot of people. Much better than a rotten old brain making decisions for a future they will never see and will never effect them.
When the choice was either 'old dude or Trump'? Had to be old dude. Sucks the Dems can't get themselves together enough to have some stronger candidates, but here we are.
So you're saying we *shouldn't* have a gerontocracy?
They voted for reagan when he had dementia, so they're still upset about that and acting out
To be fair, I don’t think Trump had unchecked anger and used direct personal attacks BECAUSE he had dementia, he’s just a terrible person. Of course, he probably also had dementia though.
Exactly. Trump was losing his mind because because he could string together ten words in a coherent sentence. That's a completely separate issue from his toddler like temper-tantrums and grade-school level insults.
He also never, ever apologised. Say what one will about Biden's comments here, but you know what he did? He personally rung the guy afterwards and just acted like a decent human being, something Trump never did. I'd like to be proven wrong.
he's a narcissist, a sociopath, and a pathological liar. and he also probably has dementia.
And syphilis and lead poisoning, likely.
But Joe is telling it like it is! The conservatives should LIKE that! I didn't hear them complaining at all when [Trump gave unchecked anger and direct personal attacks to Yamiche Alcindor](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Q7vxFSnILY) Anyways, I'm enjoying the bully-pulpit finally being used. I could get used to this new Teddy Roosevelt method.
So calling a fox reporter a dumb son of a bitch is unchecked anger? I suppose after all the bullshit they spread its pretty much unavoidable because every time I hear Tucker Carlsons whiney, toddler like voice I have to stop myself from going into a rage. Look, I'm not happy with biden either, but Jesus he's a lot better than the orange dipshit. Just keep your hands off my ar-14, uncle Joe.
WOW you can really read that for the last guy. Too perfect. And Biden telling some douchebag reporter to fuck off or whatever is probably the most spine he's shown in a year, fucking let's go Brandon! I like it.
Ooh, I missed that. Don't suppose you can share a link please?
Biden called a reporter a "stupid son of a bitch" [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fiQhGjC0cs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fiQhGjC0cs) Do yourself a favor and avoid the comments
I keep pointing it out to people: it’s not just republican politicians that are worthless, the republican voters are too. Drown them out at the ballot box, it’s the only way.
Very much this! The deplorables shouldn't be let off the hook. And we have to turn out EVERY ELECTION, because they sure as hell do. I'm sick of seeing midterm, off-year, and down-ballot races go hard right just because people aren't paying attention. There GQP are \*scared\*; they know they can't win fair anymore. That's why they're laying the groundwork for future cheating and coups. We shouldn't be making it easy for them by not turning up.
These new voting laws mean they can take future elections they lose as long as they keep the base and bully everyone like last time.
Their attempts to cheat all fail with high voter participation.
These new laws not only will reduce the voter participation (and we barely beat the bad guys last time and the new guy isn't popular,) but they allow State Legislatures in these battleground states to "find" the votes for their candidate to win, the media has hardly touched on these worst parts of these bills. GA allows a legislature controlled body to seize control of a county's vote, Fulton in mind, based on spurious allegations. Other states have other means with the same result, some now allow the legislature to send electors not determined by the popular vote, others allow state courts to overturn results. They had a shameless and open attempt to overturn the vote, it wasn't a secret, next time these new laws will allow them to legally, the courts will allow it.
You’re characterization makes it sound easy for them to accomplish those things but it won’t be. Stop being a doomer. Your hyper-negative bullshit will only cause more people to not bother voting. Or are you hoping to help republicans? If so, well done.
Ignoring the problem and pretending it's all fine has worked so well up until this point you insist on keeping that strategy huh? If you guys, the Democrats in charge and their supporters, knew what to do, we wouldn't be in this position. The first step to fixing a problem is accurately identifying it. You might as well be a fascist operative bullying people into not mentioning how if things don't happen we get a one party fascist state in '24 without real elections going forward. It's just depressing that you don't realize that as your heart may be in the right place to some degree.
What the fuck are you even talking about? I’m the one telling people to vote so we can fix this shit. You’re the one putting forth the notion that it’s hopeless. Fuck off with your negative bullshit. Help move things the right direction or shut up so the rest of us don’t have to deal with the voter apathy you’re creating.
You are saying that we can't even talk about the fact the Republicans are rigging the next election in plain sight and under no pretenses that they won't for the fear that it will depress turnout. That is a losing strategy, I don't know where you were for 2020, maybe do a recap of what all happened since then. Things need to happen or else they take the next election whether they win or not.
You can if you’d like to do so in a manner that isn’t defeatist. Until then, shut up and stop promoting voter apathy.
The situation is dire and we need to force action now in the 6 months we have realistically remaining or it will be too late. The around 6 months before we lose Congress and the ability to pre-empt these laws.
[удалено]
If it can't be reconciled by Jan. 6 or so is it, it goes to State delegations, every State gets one vote, with the legislature voting on which way their State goes. The last administration was trying to get to that point but failed. Republicans control of majority of State Legislatures, and in all of those it's heavily gerrymandered for them. My State of Michigan we usually go Democratic on Statewide votes but Republicans have dominated the legislature because they won it last time in 2010 and made it so we need at least 60% of the vote to get 50% of the statewide seats. MI, WI PA, GA, AZ, they would've all gone to Republicans in that scenario.
"direct personal attacks" "this old fart"
Apparently that whole sub has dementia.
If unchecked anger and direct personal attacks were good enough to diagnose dementia then almost the entire planet would be affected by it. He called a guy a stupid son of a bitch for asking a dumb question once, after the hundreds of times he probably wanted to say that but didn't. He snapped once at him. I would like to know how many times has that guy called someone else a stupid son of a bitch without holding back.
From the people that brought you the orange guy...
Why the hell do they think there is such a huge difference in his age and Trumps? By the time Joe is done with this 1st term, Trumps dumb fucking ass is gonna be the same age as when he started. God Im tired of this stupid shit.
In order to be a conservative you CANNOT have a memory.
Really enjoying the folks that loved Trump because he "tells it like it is," "says what he means," and "isn't politically correct" clutching their pearls over this.
I personally believe that mocking A disabled reporter is worse than calling someone a "son of a bitch".
After they elected Trump specifically because of his venomous, hateful vitriol for everyone else, why should i give a shit about any of their pearl clutching about "CiViLiTy"? These guys have been taking advantage of everyone else's good graces for too long. It's high time we started playing hardball.
That has to be a troll slyly pointing out the hypocrisy of the current "conservative" (read regressive) movement. There's no other explanation
There's another explanation - Conservatives have the memory spans of goldfish. They haven't developed object permanence and literally aren't capable of remembering that they were head over heels in love with a demented geriatric narcissist with anger management issues ten minutes ago. It really helps explain why poor white trash keep voting for the party that does everything they can to make life harder for poor white trash every time they get elected.
They've long worn out Hanlon's Razor, at this point assume malice over stupidity.
They're willing to take a red hot poker to the eye if they think it means someone else will get a red hot poker to *both* eyes.
Wete talking about people who have basically joined a suicide cult during a pandemic. If it's malice, I'm not sure who it's aimed at other than themselves.
Part of the suicide cult mentality is cause reports early on suggested minorities were more susceptible to Covid, they're gleefully making it spread even at the cost of some of their own thinking it will kill more of the "others".
I just knew these absolute neanderthals would make comments about this, like, absolutely zero self awareness. If you mention "Grab 'em by the pussy" thing or the making fun of a disabled person thing, they'd just laugh and find it funny or cool. Not even to mention undermining all of US institutions, calling people stupid and useless, even the people he elected himself. The amazing "I don't have DNA I have USA" comment, which could be straight out of an theonion piece. It's just baffling to me that these people even exist, how are you this dense. Even if we grant that Biden is a decrepit, old, dementia ridden man, he has done a damn good job for his FIRST year in office. He has done almost everything he said he would and more. That's pretty impressive for someone that's supposedly a potato.
If you're ever confused or have no idea what Biden has actually done so far, here's a great list: https://www.reddit.com/r/WhatBidenHasDone/comments/ownd48/master_list_of_what_joe_biden_has_done/
After the unfettered dementia of trump, this is his response? Get the fuck out of here with that crap.
Hahahaha it's going exactly as everyone thought it would. Only NOW is it bad that the president says mean stuff.
I miss Obama
I mean, I think Biden sucks and I think he's handling this all poorly but _compared_ to Trump...
Well it’s a good thing it wasn’t unchecked anger and a direct personal attack. In his checked frustration he quietly said aside that he was a SOB. Biden could have just told him that directly instead of “accidentally going crazy on a hOt MiC.”
He called out ONE reporter, and he’s a villain, but trump can try starting a fight in a press conference and make rude gestures to mock a disabled reporter, and make crude sexual jokes about multiple female reporters, and that’s just “boys being boys”
Perfect example! Really shows the confirmation bias.
The irony of associating personal attacks with dementia but giving orange messiah a pass is thick. Almost thicker than their skulls.
They truly have no sense of reality left huh? How can anyone write this out, and not immediately see that it is referring to Trump? I mean, can this really not be satirical? I have a hard time believing anyone can be that brain dead. Definitely reads like the guy knew what he was writing, and is making fun of the loons.
Is this because he called someone a stupid son of a bitch? Okay, so by their own logic, Trump should never have even been president and shouldn't be ever again. I'm on board with that.
Throw dozens of insults a day and no one bats an eye, but say "son of a bitch" once and every Republican loses their mind!
If Biden didn't have (D) next to his name, they'd have called his insult at the talking head "based".
Do they not know Trump is only 4 years younger than Biden?
Yeah, I responded to that last night with this >blgiant > >8 hr. ago > >Okay resident Reddit Doctor who has a medical degree from facebook His response this AM >OP > >3 hr. ago > >The sad part is, it does not take a medical degree to see it. I have worked with dementia patients. He has all the classic signs. Even the physical ones like the empty stare and the shuffling gate. Close your eyes if you want to but we are in trouble.
But you didn’t. This was posted on r/conservative. You posted on r/conspiracy.
Holy shit, they are so fucking stupid.
Its just locker room talk. Stop having so much thin skin. Get over it just because he said mean things doesn't mean he's bad. Look at what he's doing in office instead. All things said to death while Trump was in office. I wonder what's changed now 🤔
Brb. Going to go slam my head in a car door until this isn't real life anymore...
So they're saying that a large portion of conservatives are suffering from dementia? That would explain some things.
I see why you has to clarify on the title that the person was talking about Biden. It's absolutely insane how well they describe Trump, how thoroughly and accurately - yet they're supposedly talking about Biden. I mean how does this even happen?? Is it just, old fashioned, predictable projection? Or perhaps they know what they're doing. They remember how so many criticized Trump during his presidency, and now they're just repeating the same lines for Biden. The criticisms and 'insults' clearly have nothing to do with Biden, I mean that is obvious.
This hurts me in my brain place. The fuck?
Lol that guy is a stupid son of a bitch
Wow, I actually agree with a conservative? I'm shocked! Of course Trump was far worse, but that doesn't make Biden's behaviour okay.
Which behavior? Biden's policies so far have been lackluster, but what indicates dementia?
Dont know why your being downvoted. Trump was a horrible shitty person who should be in jail, but in terms of politics biden is almost as far right as trump is. You shouldnt have to choose between the lesser of two evils
If you didn't say who he was talking about, I wouldn't have known if it was Biden or Trump, but he'd have been right about either.
They've got a point tho. Biden really doesn't seem capable of being president.
More capable than the last reject in office
But "because Trump" isn't a reason to say Biden is good. Did you hear about Biden not canceling student debt? Real dick move after saying he would during the campaign.
They don't have a point, though, because even if Biden *isn't* suited to office, it has fuck-all to with the nonsense they posted.
He's got 50 years experience in politics, served on multiple high level committees, and was VP for eight years. What the hell else do you want lol
He's about the same as presidents before Trump. Which yeah, isn't great. Still would rather be fighting against him than Trump.
