If people are limiting the information you are exposed to, to cater info to only ones that make you look good, then you will look delusional because you're only getting a curated look. I have a feeling the people around him are not showing him the polls.

The President Biden situation since the debate could/should be an Inciting Incident for an entire season of Veep. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

It sounds like his team continues the BS. Nobody has the balls to be honest with him and care for him. They'd rather just live in delusion, at the cost of literally everything else.

When Biden said he hadn't seen those poll numbers, hadn't heard of regular people saying that Dems should get a new candidate, etc., I believe him. He is clearly being completely shielded to protect him.

I truly believe that Biden thinks he is still spry and still feels that way. When old people's minds start going it's truly a terribly sad thing. Undoubtedly Stephanopoulos was the first person who was being honest with Biden. So sad, and understandable.

Stephanopoulos said many Dems "want you to go with grace" and bow out, and Biden literally can't even comprehend this. Steph did a great, gentle job of wording that question. Biden's response shows ppl around him are telling him what he wants to hear.

I really wish this interview with Biden was done by a psychologist or someone with a bit more gentleness than Stephanopoulos, a journalist. Not saying that Biden shouldn't be asked tough questions or that Steph isn't doing his job. I just feel like the situation we need requires us to be gentle.

Stephanopolous' Biden interview is actually making me feel so bad for Biden. Nobody wants to be told that you're too old and you're losing your sharpness. It's the literally the same painful convo when taking away an old folk's car keys. It's a heartbreaking conversation.

My wife has really enjoyed playing the Harry Potter game on Xbox. She is almost done with it and is asking what games are similar. RPGs are not my thing; if someone enjoys the Harry Potter game, what game would you recommend next? In the past she has enjoyed GTA, but specifically doesn't like FPSs.

I'm watching The Boys for the first time (on episode like 3) and I'm confused as to why people liked Homelander? Is it that he has a mommy-complex? That he has zero remorse for killing an entire airplane of civilians? That he baptizes people behind the scenes of a bigoted Jesus Fest? lol

As a Texan I have to disagree with the idea that American cities are close. lol In the Northeast, for sure! But anywhere else and it's going to be a while until the next city.

Joe Biden still seems out of it, standing behind a spry Dr. Jill. I'm reminded of FDR and Eleanor (both of whom I don't like lol); there are questions about whether Eleanor was pulling strings behind the scenes towards the end of FDR's presidency bc he was in bad shape. How 'bout Jill run? lol

Scott Jennings got it right -- this is a scandal. Biden's performance tonight was so scary the party is scrambling to find an alternative candidate, but it's disconcerting that he's currently leading the entire country. Totally fair. #PresidentialDebate

trump is so awful that even people who have never voted democrat a day in their life want to vote against him and the democratic party has capitalized on this by running a man who can't even string three coherent sentences together. it's unbelievable. it's unbelievable!

What if ๐Ÿ’จ the founders made the concept of federalism because they knew it would protect us from the stupidity at the top? Most issues of day-to-day life are at mercy of local politics โ€” how the cops, legal system, economy, and crime are in your city/town. The president is minuscule in comparison.

Car accident in slow motion, since the Bidens decided to run again in Nov 2022. Biden asked to have the earliest presidential debate ever because "he needed to change the narrative, he did change the narrative, he sunk the campaign tonight." - Chris Wallace #PresidentialDebate

Chris Wallace -- this whole thing was over in less than 10 minutes when Biden opened his mouth and sounded so weak and then he lost his train of thought. #PresidentialDebate
