This fits in with my theory that a minimum of 20% of the population is a waste of space.
20% of the country is deliberately misled and probably suffering from things like lead poisoning.
1% of the country is the reason for that.
Even 1/3 of the ususal 30% dumbass population doesn’t believe this
If i had been asked, i would also agree it was a conspiracy. I dont believe it, but its a funny thought.
And these are the same people who are questioning Biden’s faculties?
You know it’s the same fucktards.
yes. because that’s part of the same propaganda. in for a penny, in for a pound.
Biden’s faculties are questionable. Trump’s are, as well. I worry that Biden will not be up to the task, but I also think he’s our best chance of beating Trump.
We need to beat Trump not because he is forgetful or senile, but because he is a treasonous bigot who would (for the second time) seize as much power and money for himself as he possibly can while selling state secrets to foreign intelligence agencies. He’s also a rapist, a liar, a thief, a charletain, a narcissist, and a petulant, violent piece of shit. He cannot be President again. He must go to prison.
i’ve seen on evidence of biden having questionable faculties. has he tripped? yeah. have you ever done that? yeah. he also has a life long speech impediment. that has zip to do with how sharp his mind is. i go by actions and he’s gotten more done for more people than possibly any president in my lifetime. he responds to current events quickly and on point (tho i don’t agree with him on everything, but so what?) alll ive heard to support otherwise is just that, people saying it. and i first saw it in right wing propaganda.
our best chance of beating Trump.
Our best chance? Best by which standard?
by the standard of who’s actually running. there are for sure better folks but they aren’t running.
How about “only chance”?
The overarching point needs to shift to which ADMINISTRATION will work toward helping America, instead of destroying democracy.
The President is merely a figurehead.
a figurehead who chooses a cabinet and sets the tone…
Yes, this is my point…
It’s much worse than that. Trump can’t be president again because he will quite possibly be the last president thr US will ever have, at least until he dies of cheeseburger overdose.
Besides the occasional gaffe and speech impediment please tell me what Biden facilities are questionable.
I think he’s showing more signs of dementia than anyone wants to admit, but my greatest concern is his lack of leadership. We need progressive voices making persuasive arguments and shouting down the narcissism and bigotry coming from moderates.
Biden is not that. He’s spent more time in politics on the wrong side of history than the right one, and even at his best he has never been one to stand on principle and demand action. If he did wake up one day and decide to start fighting for future generations, he’d be laughably bad at it.
His memory, his wit, his gravitas, his voice, his authority, all of it is tied together, and all of it suffers with every gaffe or lapse.
i agree. it’s why would prefer bernie (also old but i don’t care about that) or elizabeth sanders. both of them willing and able to take on “the system” but especially bernie. biden has done much better than id expected, but he’s not bold in term erament and he’s no socialist like bernie. that said, he’s also not senile and man, i’m tire of people mouthng propaganda about it with no evidence.
Bernie has endorsed Biden. I’d love to vote for Bernie, but he isn’t running. Biden is our best option.
Still no specifics. What are those signs of dementia?
Forgetfulness, stammering, awkward pauses, mood swings, and if you didn’t see all of those in his recent press conference, you should watch it again.
Your imagination…

I tried to find an unedited version of his most recent statement, but for some reason it just shows a podium for 8 and a half minutes. The statement begins at 8:32. Watch that, and then honestly tell me you don’t see it.
there aren’t any so you won’t get an answer.
He’s 20 years past “retirement” age in a high stress, high responsibility position: it’s good to be questioning if he’s up to the job. That said Trump’s mental and psychical failings are much more concerning and that’s totally ignoring the whole racist, fascist thing.
Don’t forget misogynist!
Yeah, but if Biden has to resign, he has Kamala as backup. If Trump becomes president and resigns due to mental issues, God knows what awful human we’ll be stuck with.
I’m sure Ivanka would do just fine
/s
Apparently her and Jared want nothing to do with Trump’s administration if he wins, they haven’t been seen near him since leaving the white House too if I’m recalling correctly.
The Saudis made Jared richer, I wonder what strings that $2 billion had attached to it.
it is good, but all i need to do is watch him do his job to know he is up to it. a thousand people saying “well, maybe he’s not” doesn’t change what i see.

Bindens been a pretty damn good president as far as I can tell. He inherited incredible amounts of disfunction and an economy that was predicted to enter a huge recession and yet he turned the ship around. His speech gaffs are explained by his childhood stutter that he has worked very hard to resolve.
John Stewart highlighted a few:
Somebody said today that John Stewart was funnier before he got wrinkles…
See how that works?
No, he really didn’t p9int to diminished B8den facilities
bingo. it’s just righting propaganda that is disturbingly potent.
He’s human like the rest of us and we all degrade over time. I don’t gamble but would bet the future of the country that we’re still on the “able to be POTUS” side of the curve rather than the “filling my pockets with cottage cheese because my brain is rotting in my skull” stage. Doesn’t make him my ideal choice for many reasons not directly related to his age but I’ll happily vote for Biden this November.
Additional note because this is the internet and we're allowed to (maybe even supposed to) be pedantic here:
Difference between “faculty” and “facility” since the comment you replied to used one and you’d used another. They’re similar but not the same. I could also be falling into one of these traps.
Yet you still lack an answer to my question. The best you can come up with is “he’s old” therefore lacking in some way. You can’t be specific because there are no specifics.
Correct, I have not identified the things I see as his flaws since I think they don’t interfere with his ability to do the job. Also not the person you’d replied to before.
Exact same people who stormed the Capitol
if you watch at video, a lady who went to prison for that is the only one he interviewed who woke up to how dumb it was.
Public Policy Polling’s recent poll on conspiracy theories mostly showed up on my Facebook feed as “Four percent of Americans believe lizardmen are running the Earth”.
(of note, an additional 7% of Americans are “not sure” whether lizardmen are running the Earth or not.)
I think the results here can be explained by Lizardman’s constant and an additional few respondents who interpreted the question to mean “Do you support Trump?” and then gave the answer that corresponded to supporting Trump.
TIL at least 1 in 5 people ate paint chips as a child
Keep in mind we are talking about the most extreme Americans here.
So, 20% of this nation is absolute proof that the Republicans’ plan to destroy the public education system is working.
🎯
In 2020 39% of people believed the “deep state” was working against Trump.
So I guess this is good news sort of?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Super Bowl may be over, but right-wing conspiracy theories about Taylor Swift and the 2024 presidential election are still raging.
Swift, the global pop icon, to help President Biden win re-election, according to a poll released Wednesday by Monmouth University.
Swift to help Mr. Biden were Republicans, and 83 percent of those who embraced the baseless theory said they were likely to vote for former President Donald J. Trump in November.
There was overlap with 2020 election denial: 73 percent of respondents who subscribed to the Swift conspiracy theory also said they believed the lie, perpetuated by Mr. Trump and others, that the last presidential contest was fraudulent.
Swift and Mr. Biden prompted a wave of anger and wild speculation among online conservatives in the run-up to the Super Bowl on Sunday, which Ms.
Swift attended as a fan of the Kansas City Chiefs, the team that employs her boyfriend, the tight end Travis Kelce.
The original article contains 266 words, the summary contains 156 words. Saved 41%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
There’s some people who are highly suggestible. Like to the point it’s arguably a disability.
There was an interview with Trump supporters that captured one that other day that’s worth a look to understand what’s going on:
https://youtu.be/Ud3btbISggA?t=06m08s
You can watch as the person interviewing him about falling for scams over and over jokingly tells him to walk off in a given direction - and then the dude just starts to, until he realizes his car is in the other direction.
I think that’s kind of misleading.
It looks to me more like he is just looking in that direction (even if he does take a step or two). He was more asking/saying, well why should I go that way when my car is this way. Not, oh shit, my car is actually this way.
If you watch the entire interview with him, I don’t think it’s at all misleading to portray him as highly suggestible.
The dude falls over himself agreeing with whichever way the wind blows in an interview about how he keeps being taken advantage of by scams.
In that broader context, him shuffling off several steps in the direction some guy jokingly told him to head off in really shouldn’t be discounted with a parenthetical.
My local organic food and supplement store sells Cordycep supplements. Articles like this make me want to start taking fungus supplements in the hopes that I might become patient zero.
Be the change you want to see in the world.

Instructions unclear. I’ve now climbed to the top of a large grass species and am waiting to be picked off by a predatory bird.
a large grass species
Maybe you climb Dendrocalmus sinicus, aka Dragon bamboo. A grass species that grows over 150 feet (46m).
Just trying to work out who can come and eat you. Haast’s Eagle would have been a great choice but it’s extinct.

Eighteen percent believe there is “a covert government effort” for the pop icon to help President Biden win re-election, according to a Monmouth University survey.
Why would they need a covert operation? It’s already well known she’s favors the Democrats and hates Trump. Why the need for a conspiracy layer to it? I’m sure the Biden team would be thrilled if she endorsed him, but that’s not “a covert government effort”. It’s so stupid.
Anything to make it sound nefarious, because to Republican voters, everyone is as dishonest, tribal, and ammoral as they are.
This is all Fox “News” and other conservative outlets do all day every day, take the news and add sinister innuendo to it. If Biden were doing a state visit to the UK, Fox would almost certainly say “Biden flees overseas to avoid American’s scrutiny of his administration’s failures” or the like. If he had that state visit planned but canceled it due to some urgent matter, the headline would be “Biden cancels state visit. Health concerns? What’s he hiding?”
Republicans basically spin any positive or neutral information about their many enemies, everyone outside their in-group, as an attack on them. Republicans have no empathy, so of course the sun moon and stars all revolve around them in their view.
They think they are the real ones and that any opposition is hate. Rather than, ya know, feeling sorry for them.
Yeah but the needed to covertly rig football games to make Taylor Swift popular. Because nobody heard of Taylor Swift before a few months ago, right?
It’s time to chlorinate the gene pool.
I wish we could find the gene for critical thinking and apply a little gene therapy to every fetus. Imagine Cletus and Sally Bobbi Anne having a toddler who questions bible stories and plays along with the Santa thing because they are so excited when he pretends to buy into their bullshit.
a good education and ripping away church tax breaks would go a long way. and jailing megapreacher con men just like any other con men.
Trump kinda tried that already… just with bleach and light.
