I always marvel at the fact that these people are able to go through life without being routinely punched in the mouth.

Gee, I wonder how things would be different if in those five minutes, low-information voters saw Democrats highlighting the many, many, many examples of Trump's severe mental incompetence instead of demanding that Biden withdraw.

pretty stunning how the billionaire class(and yes that means the legacy media) have completely turned on Biden. They'd rather have a fascist dictatorship than pay taxes and a living wage to employees. Insane power grab in front of the cameras

The roles ARE reversed. Trump falls asleep in public, fails to speak in complete sentences, and tells meandering Grandpa Simpson-esque stories every goddamn week, but faces ZERO pressure from within his own party (or really from the other party!) to prove his mental acuity.

This is the editorial view of the guy who controls which posts get shown on Vichy Twitter and which get buried. Insane that journalists continue to use it as a source of information and contribute to its legitimacy

It's maddening. When this is pointed out to them, the reply tends to be something along the lines of, "Well I didn't notice those/they didn't convince me, personally, therefore they don't count."

No, no, I have it on good authority that the president of the United States *personally* adjusts gas prices, inflation rates, and various global economic indicators every time he steps into the Oval Office.

I would have supported almost anyone else over Biden in 2020, but did anyone actually throw their weight behind him then on the assumption that we would simply oust the incumbent in a new primary four years later?

Be that as it may, the job of the Democratic Party and liberal commentariat is to highlight these things and argue that they're proof of Trump's deterioration, instead of ignoring them and gaming out their fantasies in which a broadly popular 35-year-old MENSA member takes him on instead.

Yes, I understand that. What I don't understand is all of the ordinary Democrats and leftists who are signing onto an obvious rat fucking campaign and saying, "Our guy needs to prove he's perfectly competent before we support him against the guy whose brain is visibly leaking from his ears."

Most of Trump's rallies start in the afternoon, despite the fact that evening rallies would probably be more well-attended. A cursory look shows start times from 1:00pm to 5:00pm, at the latest.

i refuse to believe that americans who watched the debate think that biden’s first 15 minutes are somehow stronger evidence of old age decline than falling asleep, *in public*, DURING YOUR OWN FUCKING CRIMINAL TRIAL, *IN COURT IN FRONT OF THE JUDGE AND JURY*, but, you know, i’m not a columnist.

Republicans could run a Jell-O mold as their candidate and the Democrat would still be expected to PROVE he's capable of running the country. "Well Dems should hold themselves to a higher standard." Not in the fucking election process, you morons! You're literally handicapping the opposition.

I'm increasingly convinced that the media believe they have *no influence* over public perceptions-- that their only role is to direct elite decisionmaking based on the unchangeable attitudes already held be ordinary citizens. They call the horse race as if they're not holding the jockey's whip.

So here we have a GOP gubernatorial nominee calling for followers to kill people who he claims are enemies of Christian America. How many chin-stroking pieces are we going to see about how the GOP is in real trouble now that one of its candidate is really ol--I mean violent?

Like it or not, the future of the Biden campaign will be decided by the party and the campaign itself. Publicly screaming "Old man can't win!" will have little influence on those decisions but will absolutely demoralize voters and empower Republicans. I don't understand how anyone fails to see this.

Dude has always known *in his bones* how to use the camera to tell a story. I just watched The Sugarland Express for the first time and just kept wondering, "How is this the shot selection of someone who's never before directed for the big screen?"

Related Theory: This phenomenon was unleashed on a tremendous scale by Covid. Huge swaths of the country realized that when they couldn't go out to eat their lives ceased to have meaning, so they desperately latched onto anything that promised to return their prior sense of unexamined comfort.

REPUBLICANS: Our guy, who hasn't been able to string together a coherent sentence for three years, will win even if he loses. DEMOCRATS: If the president mispronounces one more word, there is literally no path to victory for him or any member of our party from now until the end of time.

You're not just the messenger if you're explicitly talking about how Dems *should* act. It absolutely does not require idolatry or hypocrisy to run a disciplined, unified campaign that emphasizes the other guy's erratic, dangerous decline while downplaying the normal effects of aging in their own.
