Joe Biden's time is up

[Yossarian]

Except the entire world knows that’s bullshit.

His voice was definitely far hoarser than I've ever heard it, he sounded very different in his D-Day remarks a few weeks ago, though of course a cold alone doesn't explain why his brain wasn't working

 

[a_chap]

I wouldn't if I were you.

It's desperately sad to watch.

I managed to watch 8 minutes before having to take a break from it.

Yes, Biden's appearance and his diction is truly dreadful. And, worse still, Trump is a far more effective orator.

Worser even than that is Biden's absolute inability to call out the stream of cobblers and lies Trump's already coming out with.

I'm sure I'll pluck up the courage to watch some more later on tonight. But, so far, it's just awful and - as you said Spymaster - desperately sad.

Oh god he's just taken to the stage again

You got further than I did.

 

[Yossarian]

His voice is back but he seems to be coughing a lot - maybe he'll cover for his debate performance by hamming up increasingly severe signs of illness for a few days

 

[Petcha]

He's making a better fist of this. Although his habit of not finishing words is weird.

sounds much better

 

[moochedit]

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 don't know much about him apart from him being a kennedy but isn't he an anti mask/vax/lockdown type? Doesn't sound any better than the other 2.

Still our choice over here isn't much better

All he has to do is read a script here though, not actually have to think.

All you really need to know is the 'Doctor Phil did an interview with...' bit really. Batshit people.

He's trading on his family kudos and he's a seriously dodgy individual.

Our of all three faces, he's the weirdest.

 

[BigMoaner]

Watch the highlights. Why the dems didn’t appoint someone else boggles my mind

He’s a lunatic. A dangerous one at that. The loons worship him.

Trumps vp pick then? * nips off to ladbrokes *

 

[Smangus]

Ruth Ginsburg syndrome right here and now. Dems haven't learnt from that selfishness.

Met one last week.

Genuinely terrifying, no engagement or understanding.

Possibly more dangerous than the Trumpists.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

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

I've no idea why Biden is hanging on. Is it ego?

 

[BigMoaner]

He literally forgot he was a human being or something during that debate. Just zoned out.

 

[Ax^]

2 term president is the big win for any prez..

why trump is going again

that plus he hate trump personally at this stage so old fire

Yes and he does it with that “hey guys I’m just being reasonable and asking difficult questions” veneer. Scratch beneath the surface and he’s a dangerous wreck.

That or power I assume. Same with Trump (who's 78 so will also be doing the job in his 80s if he gets in). I mean it's not like they're having to keep working cos they're skint or whatever like normal people.

But anyone 'decent' would realise it's about more than just them. Unless he's incapable of realising how out of it he is.

'I know how to do this job': A defiant Biden rejects calls to end his bid for president

Amid calls from some Democrats for him to bow out after a disastrous debate, a defiant President Joe Biden vowed Friday he will beat Donald Trump.

[Dystopiary]

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.

You've been saying about him finding it difficult to walk for a while and I wonder - what's whether someone can walk or not got to do with it?

never stopped trump being a harsh high bar to set in the circumstances

 

[The39thStep]

ooh er

 

[tim]

Christ almighty, that was horrific to watch.

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

He is clearly President.

FDR had polio. I suppose you think that he was unfit to be president too

Yes. And the position. Which are interlinked. You are told you are the most powerful person in the world. That's quite a lot to give up willingly. Even for the 'greater good'. These people aren't in it for the 'greater good'. Ultimately it's ego. The most powerful ego trip in the world. He's surrounded by yes men (mainly men). Whose jobs also may depend on him staying. There won't be may pulling him aside, who matter right now, having 'a word in his ear'.

Trump wins.
