President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

[2muchcoffeeman]

Trump going visibly insane

Dementia. It's called dementia. Use the correct word.

The evening began to take a different trajectory when a man appeared to faint in the crowd. Trump paused his remarks. Attendees fanned the man and began to sing "God Bless America."

WHAT THE HELL?

Also, I have seen the word "townhall" and that's not a word. A day or two ago I saw "gameplay" in a story, in regard to "gameplay was stopped" or something, and that's not a word, either. Similar to redbrick; it's red brick. No one ever writes "brownbrick."

Shoving words together in stories just because you wanna and not having an editor say "WTF? NO.", or not having an editor at all, needs to stop. I know it won't but it should. grumble/brumble/rant/grumble

Holy ship, the Pipp stuff was real. But wait, there's more.

Another gripe:

NYT and WaPo, and others, continually write these kind of things:

Trump asherted ...
Trump said without basis of fact ...
Trump repeated falsehoods ...
Trump stated without ...
Trump responded with a stupefying claim ...
"falsely claiming" ...
"suggesting without evidence"

Why the hell can't or won't they just say he's lying? No one does it.

Trump lied when he said ...
Trump repeated lies ...
With incorrect facts, Trump lied about ...
Trump responded with lies about ...

He forgot the follow up:

"but if you HAD played, what type of player would you have been?"

"OH I WOULD'VE BEEN THE GREATEST EVER!!"

I'm going to be so happy when this clown is gone from our view.....

It really shows how powerful the bullhorns of FoxNews and MAGA are when a poor debate performance leads to weeks of "Is Biden too old!?!" coverage. But Trump can just sway on stage for 30 minutes listening to his favorite songs and nobody in the national media questions if he's mentally fit.

I blame Li'l Artie Sulzberger.

Didn't want to be tackled by people from "rough neighborhoods." Totally not a racist AF POS

WaPo has one about his mental acuity-decline-state:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/10/15/how-big-problem-is-mental-acuity-trump/

But it's the fifth or sixth head/story down on their site, below the one with the headline they changed from bizarre (accurate) to unusual (milquetoast).

 

[SixToe]

Nice pulls @BTExpress, albeit from 2017, 2021 and 2023.

If they did it every single time it would be better. He's mentally declining and a serial liar. They should say so, forcefully and repeatedly, in those blunt terms.

tehy did a nonzero number of times so u can't say never scoreboard

Yet, he was also impressed by their buoyancy. Take that, Al Campanis.
