    The people have no control over which people choose to run for president. Out of a somewhat distasteful field we get to "choose". I didn't think Trump was the best 2016 primary candidate and I don't think that Biden represents the finest of those who chose to run for the blue team this year. Alas, most of us get outvoted in the primaries unless there is a very clear standout (which I haven't seen in a long time).

    I don't think the contest for president attracts the sort of admirable personality, knowledge or experience most of us would like to see since journalists stopped reporting objective facts and became political opinion arms of the parties. If media is going to rip the winner to shreds and "got 'cha" the president every day, then how many decent and honorable people have the motivation or incentive to run?

    You can actually believe that if you need to, of course.

    The attempted Burisma smear got Trump impeached, and so impugning Biden's mental acuity appears to be the current contrivance to distract from Trump's consummate failures. Looks like a slight variation on their old "Hillary has brain damage!" ploy.

    Americans prefer Biden in most categories by a wide margin (http://pollingreport.com/2020wh.htm) and so the Trumpy dung flinging at him must be intense, relentless, and monumentally distractive.

    Well, I would counter that the people are the ones consuming the garbage. Nobody ever admits to reading the tabloids, yet they sell larger than almost every other publication. There's a reason for that. People pretend to be holier than though, but, they want to read about the scandals more than the issues that require thinking.

    If, we the people, didn't want to focus on scandals, that's what the media would cover. Good, solid, qualified people would run, if they knew that their one lapse of judgement 30 years ago wasn't going to be today's tasty tidbit.

    We make it hard for qualified candidates to run. The media only provides what will be consumed.

    Trumpies are becoming hysterical over their deity's relentless dismal numbers, and their dung-flinging concerning corruption, moral depravity, etc., was so blatantly hypocritical, it only elicited laughter, so they have settled on the ruse that Biden has had a Vulcan mind meld with Louie Gohmert at some point.

    Of course, the abundance of clips with Trump sounding like an idiot makes this desperate ploy futile as well, but desperation is desperation.

    I have never wanted an election to be done sooner rather than later. This is beyond ridiculous.

    Election schedules are not arbitrarily delayed when an incumbent expects to lose.

    The electors of President and Vice President shall be appointed, in each State,
    on the Tuesday next after the first Monday in November, in every fourth year
    succeeding every election of a President and Vice President.

    Trump and his goons have launched an all out attack on Biden, impugning his mental fitness in a coordinated effort, using smears and innuendo. After the Burisma scam blew up in Trump's face and alternative smears failed to stick (and fell too close to home), amidst Trump's current multiple failures and dismal poll numbers, they needed something vicious and distraction.

    As Biden appropriately put it, "I am very willing to let the American public judge my physical as well as my mental fitness and to, you know, to make a judgment about who I am."


    An old Dr Karl Rove diagnosis of presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton may have provided the inspiration. She had been hospitalized for four days and administered blood thinners for a blood clot:

    [​IMG]
    Thirty days in the hospital? And when she reappears,
    she’s wearing glasses that are only for people who have
    traumatic brain injury"

    The lies will keep on coming, no doubt.​

    What I find scarier is these kind of games actually sway public opinion. It's sick and twisted.

    Trump's doctors have twice that we know of so far decided Trump was bad enough off that he needed to be tested

    The silly season just keeps getting sillier. I'm over it.

    I'm now blocking at least six phone numbers a week, due to non-stop texting. "Hey, vote for my team, we're the bestest of the teams! Doesn't the other team suck?"

    Is it a prerequisite for being a candidate? Did Trump take the test when he was the nominee?

    Degenerates would not attempt these depraved schemes if they did not know they could exploit a vulnerable segment of the public susceptible to such perversions of the truth.

    It's good to see long-time Republican operatives spilling the beans:

    It Was All a Lie: How the Republican Party Became Donald Trump
    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZY73FTN/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1


    An impressive assortment of legitimate conservatives are increasingly hellbent on taking back their party from Trumpery.

    Yes. They continue because it works. That speaks volumes about us, collectively, as a society.

    Thanks for the book title. I just put a request in for it at my library.

    Responding to a question about his cognitive health he asks the reporter if he is a junkie and then does some word salad.

    Biden likely genuinely cant remember if he took a cognitive test.

    Being hostile/agressive and agitated when asked simple questions is one of the first signs something is not right.

    Yeah. I wish we had a candidate that didn't get agitated when asked a question that required a yes/no answer. So sad. I wish we could do better.

    Here's a test - can the candidate answer an essay question. Based on this year's main choices.... nope.

    Biden clarifies he has not taken cognitive test
    ~ If he did take the test he likely would not remember.
    ~ I disagree. The Democrats know nothing else so they lie, cheat and steal in order to "win". They are out of touch with reality and the life of average Americans. Sadly they have news media on their side. However I do believe the old saying applies : "The jig is up ! "

    You can pleasure yourself with such fanciful notions, and even experience rapture over your master's having been "in control" of the pandemic, making it just "go away" as "very few had it" and were "all getting better! They're all getting better!"

    Most normal Americans are attuned to reality, and are hoping for a return to normalcy.

    I believe the facts and Biden has to run on his own. This thread is about his lying about taking the cognitive test. The Democrats and left wanted and plotted an invocation of the 25th Amendment claim President Trump was mentally challenged, with Jno evidence, to hold the office. He took the test and passed it.

    We see in constantly with Biden and even some in the even the MSM now question and he attacks and bubbles it even more.
    For example
    “I’m so forward-looking to have an opportunity to sit with the President or stand with the President and debates. They’re going to be plenty of time,” Biden said.

    And

    “I am very willing to let the American public judge my physical and mental fitness and to make a judgment about who I am and what state of affairs I have,” he said...
    “All you’ve got to do is watch me,” he said.

    It's like that bad nightmare that keeps getting worse.

    Hardcore Trumpers believe, as a matter of blind faith, that Trump is, as he tells them, a "very stable genius."

    Trump bragged about passing a cognitive abilities test, saying that the doctors who administered the test were "very surprised!"


    Screen Shot 2020-07-21 at 8.24.20 AM.png
    "I aced it, I aced the test... I took it... in front of doctors, and they were very surprised.
    They said that's a very unbelievable thing, rarely does anyone do what you just did!"

    The blowhard's embarrassing, uncorroborated boast of his mastery of distinguishing picture of lions from those of rhinoceroses is entirely consistent with the insecurity evident in his fake pretense of expertise in epidemiology (despite his repeated insistence that the coronavirus was "under control," that it would just "go away!", that there were "very few people!" with it, and that "They're all getting better! - Everybody's getting better!" ) that no doctor ever backed him up on then, either.

    Screen Shot 2020-02-21 at 12.42.28 PM.png
    "I like this stuff! I really get it… every one of these doctors said,
    ‘how do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability!"
    One can reasonably attribute this childish pattern to a deep personal sense of insecurity. Is it kind to pander to him in his pathetic self-indulgence?

    Trump says he's more knowledgeable than anyone in lots of things, including ISIS, taxes, technology, nuclear arms and even Sen. Cory Booker, etc., etc., etc.:


      • Campaign finance: "I think nobody knows more about campaign finance than I do, because I'm the biggest contributor." (1999.)
      • TV ratings: "I know more about people who get ratings than anyone." (October 2012.)
      • ISIS: "I know more about ISIS than the generals do." (November 2015.)
      • Social media: "I understand social media. I understand the power of Twitter. I understand the power of Facebook maybe better than almost anybody, based on my results, right?" (November 2015.)
      • Courts: "I know more about courts than any human being on Earth." (November 2015.)
      • Lawsuits: "[W]ho knows more about lawsuits than I do? I'm the king." (January 2016.)
      • Politicians: "I understand politicians better than anybody."
      • The visa system: "[N]obody knows the system better than me. I know the H1B. I know the H2B. ... Nobody else on this dais knows how to change it like I do, believe me." (March 2016.)
      • Trade: "Nobody knows more about trade than me." (March 2016.)
      • The U.S. government system: "[N]obody knows the system better than I do." (April 2016.)
      • Renewable energy: "I know more about renewables than any human being on Earth." (April 2016.)
      • Taxes: "I think nobody knows more about taxes than I do, maybe in the history of the world." (May 2016.)
      • Debt: "I’m the king of debt. I’m great with debt. Nobody knows debt better than me." (June 2016.)
      • Money: "I understand money better than anybody." (June 2016.)
      • Infrastructure: "[L]ook, as a builder, nobody in the history of this country has ever known so much about infrastructure as Donald Trump." (July 2016.)
      • Sen. Cory Booker: "I know more about Cory than he knows about himself." (July 2016.)
      • Borders: Trump said in 2016 that Sheriff Joe Arpaio said he was endorsing him for president because "you know more about this stuff than anybody."
      • Democrats: "I think I know more about the other side than almost anybody." (November 2016.)
      • Construction: "[N]obody knows more about construction than I do." (May 2018.)
      • The economy: "I think I know about it better than [the Federal Reserve]." (October 2018.)
      • Technology: "Technology — nobody knows more about technology than me." (December 2018.)
      • Drones: "I know more about drones than anybody. I know about every form of safety that you can have." (January 2019.)
      • Drone technology: "Having a drone fly overhead — and I think nobody knows much more about technology, this type of technology certainly, than I do." (January 2019.)
      • “I deal with architects all the time. They have zero talent. I can draw better than they can.”

    Well I'm not a "hardcore Trumpet" and don't believe he's a "stable genius" or all his bravado.

    But this isn't about bravdo this is about mental abilities. The left was demanding he be removed by the 25th over his mental abilities. There were even plots at the highest level, the Rosenstein wire, to try and gather evidence. He took the cognitive test and passed and put it to rest.

    Biden, whose abilities and brought more and more into question, see the statements I just posted, lied when he was questioned claiming he had already taken one and then attacked and tried to shutdown the CBS reporter with his inane response and uninformed rant when he asked him about it.

    Come on Joe take the test.
