As soon as you’re willing to admit that you couldn’t care less about Trump’s obvious disabilities, while trying to convince us that Biden’s perceived issues are disqualifying, I will lose interest in what you refer to as “personal attacks.”

Trump needing two hands to lift a glass of water to his mouth, That's physical, not mental.
and a general to hold his arm as they walked slowly down a very slightly sloped ramp, which he later described as “running.”
Also physical, not mental.
Let’s hear your mockery of the time he got off AF1 and then walked right past the car that was waiting for him with open door at the foot of the stairs and wandered off aimlessly. Secret Service had to go get him and redirect him to the car. Could be mental.
How about that time he wouldn’t let go of French President Macron’s hand for pretty much forever? Awkwardly trying to be personable. That's something I wouldn't be surprised to see from him no matter his age. 

That’s what we were saying all those years of Trump. You took us seriously, right? Right?

"He's divisive. He's pitting part of the country against the other part."


Rich coming from someone who adored the president who has been the most divisive president in my adult lifetime. 
Thanks for the laugh. I needed that today. 

Please link us to your previous derogatory comments on Trump needing two hands to lift a glass of water to his mouth, and a general to hold his arm as they walked slowly down a very slightly sloped ramp, which he later described as “running.” Let’s hear your mockery of the time he got off AF1 and then walked right past the car that was waiting for him with open door at the foot of the stairs and wandered off aimlessly.

No? Then please don’t go around cherry-picking Biden’s minor weirdnesses.

I did not have my condition 5 years ago.

Would it have been normal if instead of trying to hold my hands open, I had clenched them? I uncomfortable with you judging me too. I think you are completely weird for focusing on how he physically presented himself. I think you ought to have focused on his words and up until now his actions. And before I get criticized, I've never made a comment about Trump's physical appearance either. And we've seen many times him looking angry, upset, or tired. I just don't read too much into that stuff because I cannot imagine the kind of pressure that a president must be under.

It's normal for some people - depending on their physical situation.

I'm much more concerned about WHAT HE SAYS and HOW HE MANAGES he executive office than HOW HE STANDS.

PS - These weren't "normal" either - the 19 second handshake w/the Japanese PM, the odd 2-handed cup drinking, the shuffling down the ramp - to mention only a few of TFG's weirdities.

Did you comment on those too? Of course not.

The problem w/TFG wasn't his weirdities in moving it was HIS VITRIOL, HIS SCUMMY BEHAVIOR, HIS BRUTISHNESS.

Hope that helps.

Well, it could happen, I guess. The vaccinated people that I know are not shaking hands-at all. And they are avoiding crowded venues. But hey, sure; it could happen.

Thalidomide was a medication, not a vaccine. 

The vehicle for this vaccine has been in the works for decades. The only new ingredient is the virus.

There are no unknowns concerning the safety of these vaccines for the approved populations - it's been administered to 6.9B people, including pregnant and breastfeeding women with minimal adverse events. What does remain unknown are the long-term adverse effects of having Covid. And whether or not vaccinating babies is 'unsafe' (right now, there is no data either way) in no way impacts the safety of vaccinating pregnant or breastfeeding women - medically, the two are unrelated.

But, FTR, I don't believe that anyone should be forced to get the vaccine. I also don't believe that those who don't get the vaccine should be granted access to services that put other people at risk. Get the jab, don't get the jab, entirely your choice. Just be prepared to live with everything that goes along with that choice.

Your objections to Biden’s mental acuity ring hollow after your silence and even defense of Trumps stupid, ignorant statements.

And you absolutely defended former’s dangerous stupid suggestion to study the injection of bleach.  Beyond trying to clarify exactly what he said, you never called out the danger and recklessness of his statement.  Even when it was pointed out that the statistics showed more people were poisoned by bleach after his statement, you continued to defend it.

Conservatives love whataboutisms except when they’re used on them.

I just saw a major news outlet in Norway release a photo of Alec Baldwin. Supposedly a photo of him taken after he came out of a police station beung interviewed (which I am sure is standard procedure in a case like this).

I have two thoughts about it:

1. He is absolutely devestated and crying in the picture. My heart breaks for him, and the trauma he will continue to live with after causing the death of a fellow himan being.

2. Why the fuck am I am seeing this photo? Who the hell is photographing someone in this situation? Who is buying them? Who is making the editorial decision to publish it? This should not be out there! Vultures!
It was on the news outlet's front page, so I couldn't opt to not click on it.

There is nothing wrong with Biden’s mind. He spoke clearly and intelligently at the UN recently as well as at the CNN town hall meeting last week. The mental acuity of President Biden is something that Fox hosts and Republican supporters of former like to attack because he’s older and they’re looking for weaknesses to attack. If we’re going to disqualify people because of their age, there are many older sitting Republicans like Grassley.
Unlike former who surrounded himself with his idiot children and other inexperienced people who’s only qualification was their loyalty to him, Biden selected a cabinet and White House staff full of intelligent, experienced qualified people. Here’s what Blinken had to say recently

All I can tell you is … the president very much speaks for himself.”

Risch: “He does speak for himself but what happens when somebody doesn’t want him speaking?”

Blinken: “Senator, I’m telling you based on my own experience with the president over the last 20 years, heh, anyone who tried to stop him from saying what he wanted to say, speaking his mind, would probably not be long for their job.”

Even Republicans who met with Biden over the summer agree there’s nothing wrong with Biden’s mind.

“In the two meetings I was in with the president, he was as sharp as a tack,” Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) said in an interview.

Sen. Todd Young (R-Ind.), who joined Capito at a February meeting with Biden on Covid relief, said he didn’t see anything amiss: “I visited with him in the Oval Office, and he seemed well-prepared and well-briefed for the meeting.”

From the first article

The age-related conservative offensive reprises the blatant psychological projection of the Trump era: attributing his worst traits to someone else and weaponizing them. Trump set many hours aside to tweet and watch TV in the residence ("executive time”) and made nearly 300 trips to his own golf clubs and resorts. So Trump and his defenders claim Biden shirks his job and takes long vacations.

Likewise, the attacks on Biden's capacities are rooted in the many questions about Trump's. The former president's disordered speech drew attention from experts who said it reflected cognitive decline. He himself has never stopped marveling at his “amazing” performance on a cognitive test in 2018 (best captured by comedian Sarah Cooper). Trump bragged about the test on the 2020 campaign trail and was still bragging in Texas this summer: “I aced it. And I’d like to see Biden ace it. He won’t ace it.”

It’s a fact that Biden is the oldest newly inaugurated president we’ve ever had. But it’s also a fact that everyone has memory lapses, more often as they age, and that’s not the same as dementia. It's true as well that Biden occasionally goes awkwardly off script, or gets testy, or mangles sentences, but he has been doing all that for decades.

And if you want to talk about mental acuity, let’s talk about former. General Miley was so concerned about former becoming unhinged that he had a conversation with Nancy Pelosi. Former was the threat to national security. His ignorance, stupidity, narcissism and temper were all threats to national security. He didn’t know that Great Britain was a nuclear power. Recently, he thought Thomas Jefferson helped write the US Constitution.
