Hopefully the media will stop gaslighting people with this cheap fake rubbish.
They still tried to gaslight by saying Biden had a cold.
Anyone with functioning eyes and ears and see and hear the diminished capacity of Biden.
He's a national security risk. The Commander in Chief can't have a mash potatoes as a brain.

^ Yeah, I saw the thing about him having a cold. Seems old habits die hard. Trouble is nobody's buying it anymore.
And I agree with those who are saying that, election or no election, Trump or no Trump, Biden clearly shouldn't be president right now. Surely the 25th amendment exists for situations precisely like this.

^My worry is more that he takes his self-talk too seriously. "I'm Joe Biden, I don't give up in the face of adversity...."

Did a bid of reading up on this, the Democrats are screwed.
They can't drop Biden unless he chooses to withdraw. They probably could literally but it would go down like a cast iron hang glider.
If they did drop him, Kamala Harris is next cab off the rank. Apart from the fuss it would cause to drop the Black Female VP for a (likely) white male, there's the little matter that all the funding and donations they've gathered are tied to the Biden-Harris ticket. She can keep the funding if she moves to POTUS candidate but apparently if they lock in another candidate they have to start again with funding. Plus, I think, if they were going somewhere different they would have to go through all the convention bullshit which would present them as a rabble.
Looks like their only hope is to stick with Biden, hope the near 50% of Democrat voters who think he's past it can suck it up and vote for him instead of Trump, then after being sworn in as POTUS they arrange some bloodless coup in the first 12 months where he either resigns, retires or is medically ruled out and Harris becomes POTUS.

Only hope for them is to poison him, like Rasputin.

Why are you worried?
Whoever replaces him, if they do, will advance exactly the same policies (the only difference is that most likely the replacement will be able to articulate them more coherently)

Watching that debate I witnessed the end of the mighty USA. It's no wonder Putin and Ping are sitting back laughing.
Now with Trump being granted partial immunity, the end of the USA is a lot closer. |

So now the US Supreme Court has ruled that a POTUS has a level of immunity against prosecution for acts undertaken while POTUS, which has thrown into chaos the raft of charges against him. I understand they've sent the ruling back to the lower court to rifle through all the charges and figure out which ones, if any, they could still prosecute. Meanwhile, Trump has used the decision to appeal against his Hush Money conviction.

Shit just gets weirder.

So many things are broken in American politics, and the presidency and supreme court are two of the biggest problems because they're both much too powerful and unaccountable – something this judgement only reinforces. Would be good if they could tear the constitution up and start again, but failing that there's going to need to be some kind of drastic intervention to put things right. Otherwise they'll just be circling the drain whether or not Trump gets back into the White House.

The media and Dems tried to convince everyone Joe is the fittest and sharpest he’s ever been despite all the warning signs of his ailing health.
A shitshow of a debate and now Biden is doubling down,claiming international travel was to blame for a poor debate. Joe was just a bit tired.
The Democrats campaign is exploding before our very eyes.

Apart from the logistical (borderline) impossibility of ripping it up and starting again, can you imagine the shit show that would happen if they tried? Lobby groups would tear the country apart climbing all over themselves trying to get things included/excluded and who would be the poor bastards tasked with trying to write a new constitution for the modern day, that makes sense, and wouldn't be out of date in 50 years? Anyone sane would run away from that in a heart beat.
For better or worse, their constitution is what it is. It's clearly able to be amended, the trick will be getting enough of the right people on board to amend some of the more obviously bad pieces.
