    Nice projection.
    No, just offer a disciplined argument.

    It's not complicated.

    Feel free to actually engage in debate.

    Not really into 'conversation', (I mean 'chit chat' ) I'm into debating, but that can be done, conversationally, of course.

    You bet.
    Whatever it takes, get trump.
    Ignore the law.
    Forget the constitution.
    Whatever it takes, defeat trump.
    Even if you have to destroy the country to do it, eh?

    He was engaging, funny, and also made fun of his own age - "I'm a grown man, and I'm running against a 6-year-old".

    Go find his whole speech and judge for yourselves. The entire thing is over 22 minutes.

    I watched it live. .and considered it a job well done. His ability to laugh at himself is one of his personal strengths. He is wise enough to know how to handle criticism , and can still push back with effectiveness. but not petulant childish acting out anger. (like T. )

    How will bringing Trump to justice , destroy the country. One would think the opposite was true. The law applies to everyone. No exceptions for Donny. He has already affected the country with HIS words and behavior to the point it is more than just divided.. there seems to be an irreparable fissure.
    It seems that Trump defenders get their misinformation from placers like social media which can be an echo chamber for noting more than BS. Trumpians have now totally dismissed all traditional medial outsets as most of them still have stqandards and have to report fact based information....... and this is opposed to their thinking and what Trump tells them. There is a log of lies that Trump has told , proven to b lies.......and yet they believe him.
    This man has created his own "information' bubble which is not based on reality. If he says Biden is senile.....his followers parrot that comment. Just as they parrot his comments about him being a victim of the system
    That is a crock. He has abused the system all his life to serve HIS purposes. His followers find that admirable. There are two America's now: The Trump America and the Normal./ regular / traditional America. Fascinating how ONE PERSON can split a nation in this way.

    He's been out of office for several years and should take a more complete test. His recent history of the Battle of Gettysburg was pathetic.

    When a party or group becomes so focused on the destruction of another and they are willing to usurp the very laws and customs that make a society we are not far from our end.

    No one man can "divide a nation", as you put it, but 80 MILLION voters constantly demonized and attacked by arrogant opponents constantly attacki g and berating them and their man can.

    Starting with the steele dossier and the FBI/DOJ willingness to ignore their own law and procedure to spy on the trump campaign, to two impeachments lacking any but a political basis, to 44 investigations, to collusion with the biden administration to coordinate criminal and civil actions against trump, the censure and attacks on trump supporters to attempts to keep trump off the ballot, the democrats have let no moral or ethical consideration stop their mission to get trump, no matter what.

    He did, and he told himself fairy tales. Like many other diseases dementia can affect different people differently. I took my mom from right as rain to not even being able to recognize her own daughter to extreme paranoia and death in a little over a year. Some one should inform him as well the alzheimers and dementia are different things that progress quite differently.

    Good to know there are some good joke writers in the white house. Politics needs more humor.

    I'm not sure what this retort matters to anything but I support your right to write it. The only compelling arguments to you are liberal ones. Certainly you know that.

    Poor MAGAs are being played for fools if they think Trump will help them stay in the middle class. They'd be better off with Democrats in charge.

    It won't but it does damage the reputation of the judicial system increase distrust in it. Weaponizing prosecution for political purposes is a very bad idea for the justice system. I hope they figure out how to put an end to it.

    I buried my father a little over a month ago. I buried my brother two years ago. Biden's symptoms mirror theirs to a tee. It will be an honest shocker if he is alive in two years. The biggest give away is movement and how he walks. My mom is 88 years old and walks an order of magnitude better than Biden. Look to see if he is capable of a brisk walk..... he is not. The disease attacks not only cognitive ability but interferes with other functions as well.

    You have eyes just like the rest of us, quit pretending that you are incapable of simple observation.

    First: Condolences on your losses.

    Second: I will wait until an actual PHYSICIAN makes a statement about Biden's condition......as observations from a distance, on TV or video are not the ideal way to diagnose anything. The only things we know for a fact are that he is numerically in the early eighties. Second he has some serous arthritis ( in his back etc ) which would obviously affect his gait. He might need a wheel chair to navigate and if so, that is fine. I think that far too many are too concerned about image ..which is just superficial. His history of a speach disorder surfaces in times of extreme stress, but he has done an admirable job overcoming it. IF there was a serious problem......I do believe that his medical advisors would make appropriate recommendations....as they would be the most familiar with his medical status.

    Not likely.
    Certainly not with brandon in the whitehouse. We don't need open borders or bidenomics and we darn sure don't need government jamming EV at us or telling us what to cook on, or clean on, or clean with.

    We need to be given the freedom to live, not be governed.

    He won't be dead from dementia in two years.

    I've seen pictures of Old Joe walking quickly, albeit stiffly, in the past several months. Why doesn't he walk more quickly? Maybe it's painful.

    My father had Alzheimer's and he learned to walk again after breaking a second hip. Joe is able to deal with complex ideas in conversing about thorny problems like Israel and the Palestinians.

    many lefties never really liked the USA. for almost 70 years they tried to turn the USA into another USSR and when the USSR failed, they left next tried to balkanize America and split it into numerous warring special interest groups divided by ethnicity, gender, sexual preferences etc

    There's no such thing as "Bidenomics" or "Trumponomics." Nor do we have "open borders." It's all propaganda fed to the suckers.

    I do agree with you about EVs. The batteries are too expensive, too dangerous, and we don't have the electrical generating capacity to charge up the batteries. Maybe a fast conversion to nuclear power generation could speed up the use of EVs.
    Doing nothing would be a mistake.

    His performance at the WHCD contraverts your premise.

    Yours are subjective interpretations, everyone is different.

    His 'senior moments' are about on par with anyone his age.

    My mother was about the same as Biden at his age, and she lived for another 13 years.

    You really do not know, and the only ones making your claim are partisans.

    Now, Trump, when he talks, stupid comes out and a number of republicans agree that he is unfit and dangerous to democracy.

    If there is anyone who is unfit, it's Trump.
