Joe Biden's time is up

[Johnny Vodka]

Wall will never get finished. Sadly i think you are right about Ukraine. He will do anything to please Vlad. Not sure about Gaza but he was pissed off with the israeli pm for backing Biden too soon in 2020 and he doesn't forget shit like that.

His son in law was going on about Gaza making great real estate and Trump is an Islamophobic prick, so on balance I would bet on things looking even worse for Gazans.

Well if they used him to get the Inflation Reduction Act through and hundreds of billions into renewable energy and huge job creation then I say thats a bigger win than anything from the Trump time combined. We have a basically puppet president here with the Royalty, the figurehead often has bugger all knowledge of what they are signing since knowing everything about everything is not a reasonable assumption for anyone to have. It's all advisors and specialists, listening to them can be beneficial or it can be negative. Ignoring all experts while declaring himself one caused the deaths of huge amounts of americans through bungling the covid situation. What should have been an easy win turned into a shitstorm, which then had its direction redrawn with a sharpie.

Well whoever the expert advisors behind this debacle are (strategic masterminds, no doubt), they may well have won trump the election

Christ almighty, that was horrific to watch.

The farce that is Biden running needs to be stopped, immediately. He cannot be president.

No “may well have” about it. He won’t - cannot - be president now.

He really should be removed right now, let alone be allowed to run again.

He can't be president.

But who is the best option?

Did anybody watch the whole debate? I think I managed about 3 minutes, I envy people who watched 0 minutes

The NYT, traditionally a Dem leaning paper is going out all this morning

I wonder if anyone other than middle aged white guys with dark hair has a view?

 

[Yossarian]

The NYT has been pushing "Biden is too old" stories for at least a couple of years now so this isn't a big reversal

 

[bemused]

Surprisingly, the USA seems amazed that men in their 80s probably should not be running the country.

Friend of mine in Brooklyn says the second half of it Biden perked up and was on top, but of course by then it was lost.

 

[a_chap]

Given the enormous amount of comment, I feel I ought to watch the damn debate myself so I can form my own opinion.

Does anyone have a link to a recording of the debate? An unedited version of the debate, I mean.

Very difficult. Kinda feeling ashamed though. As I can't comment on the whole shit show...

I mean he could barely walk on to the stage... its excruciating, just to warn you. They'd turned off the mics while the other was speaking, dunno who requested that or who benefited from it most. Probably Trump did really.

I wouldn't if I were you.

It's desperately sad to watch.

Only seen a few mins myself but from what i saw Biden looked very doddery and Trump looked far more alert and was not being "ranty". If i had a vote in the contest then i would still vote Biden to keep Trump out (it would be very much "anti Trump" though not "pro Biden") but i can see "undecided" voters watching that going to Trump and probably some of the former Biden voters as well.

 

[bcuster]

Think that rule was made after one of their presidents ran for 4 terms (can't remember who without googling it).

fdr

What’s likely is that a lot of people will now simply not vote, rather than vote for Trump. Which hands it to him anyway.

Yeah i agree.

 

[bcuster]

Yeah i agree.

Dr Phil did an interview with RFK last night while the debate was on. RFK said he'd seriously consider accepting the Democrat nomination if it were offered to him.

I think any coherent senior Democrat would win although obvs changing candidate last minute aint a great look

 

[Yossarian]

White House sources said Biden had a cold - I think if you're 81 years old and illness has left you with a whisper of a voice you should call in sick instead of attempting to debate Donald Trump, ffs - CNN would have complained but what would they have done, let Trump debate an empty podium, Clint Eastwood-style? Reminds me of when Hillary Clinton tried to power through a bout of pneumonia in 2016

I think they'd give Jimmy Carter a shot at winning a second term sooner than they'd offer anything to RFK Jr

 

[MrCurry]

I managed ten minutes. I hope the us ballot papers have a “none of the above” option.

A vote for Joe Exotic would be to place your faith in someone more competent than either of those two.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Except the entire world knows that’s bullshit.

 

[Elpenor]

Perhaps the best we can hope for is for Trump's plane to crash into a mountain in bad weather with Donnie on board.

The mountain doesn’t deserve that

Who'd want to be doing such a job in their 80s? I mean .

Genuinely feel sorry for him. He's not up to it. And yes, his politics are shockingly shit but he was trounced today.
