What the fuck is wrong with this dude. He's going senile; there's no other logical explanation.
yeah it was weird, on election night everyone was shitting their pants saying Trump was unstoppable. I don't think people expected the Republicans to have a net gain in the Senate.
Seriously, the majority of people over 75 do not have the mental faculties they once did.
I don't understand why were asking these people so obviously past their intellectual prime to have the #1 position in the country.
It would be like having someone who was once a star athlete but then asking them to be a quarterback for the NFL at 75.

I think the issue is this isn't an isolated incident by any stretch
This week was an exceptional shitshow by even Trump standards. And, yeah, I know I say that a lot, but even by the standards of saying it was an exceptional shitshow, it was an exceptional shitshow.
My parents are both approaching 70 and the difference vs even 5 years ago is obvious. I've learned that it's inevitable. But hey, at least Biden doesn't have CTE, so it could be worse. Well, unless he played football at some point. I have higher expectations from my potential nominee than "maybe goes a day or two without a botch from the teleprompter."
I'm just dreading a scenario where the country is sitting watching a debate between two rambling, incoherent ancient white dudes arguing over who is more "moderate-conservative"
Nelson botching the senatorial race in FL and the Panhandle racists overwhelming Gillum at the start of the night set a downer tone for the whole thing, I think.
Lost in the general sadness of the Amazon burning recently is the record burns in Siberia this year. It's true that if any 1 place on earth burning down being bad is the Amazon, land around the arctic circle is a solid number 2. It doesn't convert much CO2 but it holds gigatons of methane it soaked up millions of years ago. If a Republican asks you about this, do the basic math and tell them it releases millions of cow farts per square mile. This might get them to care more than when California burns.
The losses in FL last November sucked sooooo bad because almost everything went well, or at least as expected.

I said this in 2016, but I'd have paid good money to watch a Biden v Trump boxing match as the VP suggested, no sarcasm. Since I'm one of those pesky Poors, you know I'm series when I talk about spending money on a PPV.
I think it's the opposite actually. Due to medical advances our elected leaders have been getting older and older. It's just there's still limits to what medical science can do and some people just need to hang the gloves up.
As for this Biden gaffe, I'm with Adam. And I'm not even a Biden supporter (I'm a Kamala-stan atm), this seems just like a teleprompter flub. Nothing more, nothing less. And you can't take the teleprompter flub and say, "well it's part of a bigger pattern!". This is part of nothing, it's just reading the teleprompter wrong. Young and old, sane and insane politicians do it. This is a silly "gotcha" moment that's just another bad creation of Twitter.
Well he flubs when he's on a teleprompter and he semi-stream of consciousness rambles when he's off a teleprompter.
Ban old people.

I agree. There's a degree with the mind decays in ways we both can and cannot quantify that we don't understand. Our ability to keep bodies alive exceeds our ability to keep healthy minds at this point. There'll be a point where this balances out, but we're more likely to figure out intergalactic travel befoere we can truly reverse stuff like Alzheimer's. Not without gigantic dystopian farms of fetuses to harvest stem cells from, at least.
I think the problem is he speaks nothing but political talking points all the time and just mixes them up.
This is a battle for the soul of women won't know this but god forbid Barack was assassinated like RFK when I saw two men kissing in Wilmington during the Biden-Obama Administration which is why I told the Parkland kids I was for gay marriage to Margaret Thatcher.
C'mon, man. You know me. I'm Joe. I'll always be Joe30330.

Joe is going from bad to legit concerning
Also i will never forget the brief moment of despair in 2018 when the 538 estimate of dems winning the house dropped like a fucking sack of potatoes

Biden really needs to quit or not be the nominee and right now our best hope is that someone else wins.
Biden is old and fumbly but it's really not that easy to read from a teleprompter and he missed a word. Even getting decades mixed up doesn't really make me that nervous. What does scare me is the like "go to my website 3 0 3 0 303030" thing. That's clearly something that is generational and a real sign of his age. Young people would never make that mistake.
The poll that was interesting to me yesterday was that Warren has better #s among independents. What? No one likes Teacher Lady. Need to see more.

Warren has a lot of time to keep pulling ahead
And she is indeed my favorite candidate of them all though I would truly be happy with any of them.... even fucking Biden if he can get a solid running mate and support staff (which he desperately needs)
But hell Warren being number 1 would be the best case scenario in my eyes
Subscribing. Ah that new thread smell.
But really have you *looked * at this bitch eating crackers lately?
So, Climate Daddy's Evergreen Economy was only $9 trillion in public-private investment, 100% carbon-neutral energy by 2030 and renewables by 2035 for energy production, 100% green new vehicles by 2030, and 8 million clean energy jobs.... instead of $16 trillion in all-public investment, 100% renewables in production and transportation by 2030 and 20 million clean energy jobs.
Clearly he didn't care about climate change enough.

This is a story about a Nazi manifesto that has captured the imaginations of current and former White House officials, told like that's some kind of amusing eccentricity. https://www.politico.com/amp/story/2019/08/23/alt-right-book-trump-1472413?__twitter_impression=true …
Seriously, blending "Nietzschean philosophy with critiques of contemporary Western society, denigrating homosexuality, Judiasm, Islam, feminism," fixating on "population genetics," and an "affinity for Slavic and northern European cultures" is just Nazism. https://twitter.com/whstancil/status/1164886389239894017?s=19 …

Leave it to Politico to find the president's advisors sharing a modern-day Mein Kampf and compare it to... liberals liking The West Wing???
Somehow the political media has moved directly from "don't be hyperbolic and compare your political opponents to Nazis" straight to "Check out this new anti-Jewish, pro-eugenics tract that's all the rage in the White House" without acknowledging, yep, the White House may be Nazis

This one legit surprised me.
I don't give him credit for knowing much, but I assumed he at least knew the stock market was in general an upward slope. Either he's even stupider than I thought, or even more brazen.
I admire Gaetz ability to somehow find his way into every fucked up Trump story.
Honestly? That's the closest I've ever come to knowing what PTSD must be like. Because logically I knew what was happening and there wasn't reason to panic... But emotionally it fucked me up so much I didn't feel good about the results for over a day.

Free speech on college campuses is essential to the free exchange of ideas and our democracy. However, the comments and behavior from this Iowa professor in Cedar Rapids are inexcusable.

She's a Moderate Darling in a Romney (very narrowly)/Clinton suburban state house seat, which she's handing to us on a silver platter. And if she continues this nonsense, Finkenauer will be able to handle her fairly easily.

3: Run away and declare victory

The market is going to shit the bed on Monday.
