    Your blanket indictment of "the left" that festers in your noggin is not the needed diversion from Trump's record, his documented statements in contravention of the manifest reality.

    Who, precisely, in the Democratic leadership in House or Senate, ever proposed removing Trump via the 25th Amendment?

    If you need to avoid honestly commenting on Trump's plethora of embarrassing egomaniacal boasts, that's entirely understandable.

    It wasn't the right that was demanding an invocation of the the 25th based on claims Trump was mentally deficient. Why do you limit your question to only Congressional leadership?

    Here
    "A House Democrat will introduce legislation on Friday asking Vice President Mike Pence and the Cabinet to consider removing President Trump from office under the 25th Amendment.

    “Trump has exhibited an alarming pattern of behavior and speech causing concern that a mental disorder may have rendered him unfit and unable to fulfill his Constitutional duties,” says the resolution written by Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), a copy of which was provided to Vox."
    https://www.vox.com/2017/8/18/16164628/zoe-lofgren-25th-amendment

    Swalwell also called for it.

    Are you denying the Obama White House meeting where it was discussed?

    I'm noting that there is no evidence that anyone in the Democratic leadership has ever given serious consideration to citing Trump's mental state as the reason to remove him from office.

    Have others discussed removing him for various reasons? Of course. E.g., conservative jurist Steven Calabresi, the co-founder of the Federalist Society, recently called for the removal of Trump over his tweet suggesting that the election be delayed.

    Your pretense that "The left was demanding" he be removed by the 25th over his mental abilities is devoid of details concerning precisely who "demanded" what.

    If you can convinced yourself that Trump's need to continually insist on his mental superiority over such a vast range of disciplines is normal, the only comparable case I can recall is Dr Irwin Corey, and he did it to be humorous deliberately.

    "Professor" Irwin Corey (July 29, 1914 – February 6, 2017)
    was an American stand-up comic, film actor and activist,
    often billed as "The World’s Foremost Authority".
    Lenny Bruce described Corey as
    “one of the most brilliant comedians of all time.”

    "When will he get tested and meet the demands the Democrats and left put on Trump?"

    Strawman and the persons in the meeting at the WH that discussed were in WH leadership, Democrat WH. And of course the leftist media. So stop with the deflections.

    Come on Joe take the test.

    Sure, me pointing out Biden being racist make you automatically think I am a Trump supporter. Are you seriously that inept in critical thinking? Like there are no other candidates than just 2?

    Frustrating isn't it?

    I got accused of being on both teams yesterday, within an hour of each other.

    Biden just said that African Americans are all alike. "By the way, what you all know but most people don't know, unlike the African American community with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things."

    Happens all the time to libertarians. I was "accused" of being "purple" a few weeks ago. I somewhat agreed. LOL

    LOL!
    SMH. Every four years I say, "could we get two worse choices?" And the parties set out to prove they can do it!

    Yeah, I was trying to think back through every election I've voted in, wondering if there has been any candidate over the decades who I was truly excited and happy about. I came up with, "No." It does seem to have gotten worse though.

    Biden won't show up in person at the Democratic convention to accept the nomination.

    (Brett Weinstein is a self-proclaimed progressive liberal, who is trying to start a 3rd party this year, too late.)

    There is some nebulous "the Democrats and left" that speaks to you, apparently.

    In the real world, Trump - who has amply evidenced a delusional superiority in all things - is bragging that he "aced" what is comparable to a sobriety test. That is disturbing.

    "Please walk a straight line, and try not to fall down, sir."

    Trump said that the medical staff were “very surprised” by how well he did.

    “They said, ‘That’s an unbelievable thing.
    Rarely does anybody do what you just did!'”

    In one of the more difficult tasks, the person will be given five words to remember at the beginning of the exam, and will then be asked to recall them five or 10 minutes later, when they finish the rest of the test.

    “That’s the most difficult part of the test for someone who has cognitive impairment,” Dr. Ziad Nasreddine, who developed and copyrighted the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) test. said.

    https://www.marketwatch.com/story/t...eople-with-no-cognitive-impairment-2020-07-20

    This appears to be the question Trump is most proud of performing well on:

    Screen Shot 2020-02-21 at 12.42.28 PM.png
    “If you get it in order, you get extra points. They said nobody gets it in order!
    It’s actually not that easy, but for me it was easy!”

    Quite honestly, he sounds like a very insecure, three-year-old who is bragging that he finally "aced" potty training.

    "What a good boy! How clever you are!"

    Biden was the only candidate who could keep Bernie and his unwashed socialists out of the DNC mansion. It was either Biden or well... Biden. The democrats had no choice really. No one else had a prayer of winning and everyone knew it. Now democrats are wondering aloud if they haven't totally screwed themselves with a candidate who is clearly in mental decline and can't debate, can't interview, won't show up to his own convention and has to be protected in his basement and treated like a live grenade that might go off and blow the whole charade.

    Most Americans recognize that Biden is not a racist. If that upsets you, so it goes.

    The survey, conducted on May 29 and 30, found that 52 percent of Americans answered yes when asked whether they “think that President Trump is a racist.”
    Only 37 percent said no.

    Of course, some of his supporters openly approve of his racist agenda:

    I voted for Reagan once, Bush Sr, twice, Bush Jr, once, and Obama, once. Presidents Bush Jr. & Obama didn't listen to their campaign promises while in office. I wasn't old enough to vote in Reagan's first campaign.

    Other than that, all my big chair votes have gone to independents. Last election, my husband voted for Migrant Caravan. That's how disgusted he has gotten. He's never voted for R or D for the big chair.

    I think Ross Perot could have changed the entire trajectory of politics if he hadn't wussed out.

    I've no clue what I'm going to do this year.

    Biden apologized for saying that blacks all think alike. So I guess he gets their vote again. All good.
