Apologies, I must have got distracted by the smell of bull**** off your posts.

Apology accepted. Next time go downwind instead of upwind before trusting your sniffer.

“Get tough” policy included dogs, stop and frisk, etc etc etc and ended up in more riots.

It's just a stream of (semi)consciousness at this stage.

I'm kinda more worried for the 60k+ people (more probably bots) that have "liked" that tweet so far ?

A lot of them are known to be bots to be fair.

I think a lot of democrats have already come to that realization but are too afraid to say anything until the DNC comes up with a viable Plan B.

Short of giving him the old hilary "commits suicide" bump off, there's not much they can do at this stage.

I don’t know... If the economy substantially improves leading up to the election the DNC just might stick with Biden and decide to write the presidential election off, and instead concentrate on holding the House and making inroads to the Senate. Otherwise their best bet might still be Hillary Clinton. They’ll never go with Sanders and Cuomo ended his chances when he sent ten thousand seniors to their deaths with his mandate that nursing homes are required to take in COVID19 patients which then spread like the black death throughout the facilities. I don’t see any other democrat taking up the torch and drumming up any excitement.

That's why Trump felt he needed foreign dirt to try and halt Bidens momentum I guess.

Not sure i envy anyone taking over from Trump, country is in complete freefall. Millions unemployed, tens of thousands dead from virus, racial relations at lowest point in decades, nazis marching on the streets, journalists being arrested live on TV and a right wing media continually stoking up the flames.

Still pushing this when there's no realistic possibility of them doing that. Biden is also funnily enough coming across as more presidential than your president. Who instead is getting in fights with his preferred social media platform.

the Democrats are used to picking up the pieces after terrible republican presidents.

The delusion is strong. I guess this is part of the problem with America today. So many people living in a phantasy world in their own heads.

Edit: I should say I mean this in relation to politics not life in general

After emerging from his two week hiatus from hiding in his underground basement bunker he looks and acts nothing presidential. It's just sad at this point. His poll numbers would probably increase if his handlers kept him tucked away in his bunker and away from the cameras. Let his campaign and the democrat media handmaidens build him up.

You think hiding away during a national emergency is 'presidential?'

It's just how things are. They'll moan about Joe Biden being senile or lecherous while defending Trump to the hilt for much worse and all the while any dissent is considered an "attack".

It used to be for me the choice between the good(Democrats) and the evil(Repiblicans). I see no difference between them now sadly.
If somehow Biden wasn't able to run and Cuomo got parachuted in it'd give me some hope that the Democrats could rise from the ashes.

Country big on patriotism yet somehow can't see the damage that this guy is doing on a daily basis.

Why exactly? Sure, they're both evils but one is clearly vastly worse than the other.

I don't see any difference anymore. Both deep in the murky abyss.
Trump is the worst POTUS in history, Biden could be worse if he gets elected. I keep checking myself when I say that but I believe it's a real possibility.

What a fantastic democracy you have.
Strange that your choice's seems have become so narrow, that the only thing you have to do is decide between either the aged buffoon or the senile old man to lead you.

Cheerful Spring2

Trump selfish. Talking about taking down twitter for everyone yesterday because his tweet was fact checked. His self-centred and thinks of nobody but himself. Millions of people use the platform and don't care about his petty battles.

You think accusing people of murder, picking fights on social media, and calling for black people to be shot is "presidential"?

Shifty schiff, Sleepy Joe, Pochahantas, creepy Joe etc.... yeah your hero is really "presidential" :rolleyes:

If Biden walked out and just shouted "CHINA" at everyone and walked off, everyone on here slating him would dive in with more accusations of him being senile or he doesnt know what hes doing.

Thats effectively what Trump is doing on twitter.

Plus, how was he hiding if he was out in public for memorial day , Trump even abused him for wearing a mask.

How does one both hide and not hide at the same time? Schrodingers Biden.

Cant see how. Anything Trump has thrown at Biden applies to himself multiple times over. So if both continue as they have before, Biden is a much better option.

I’m curious why you say that about Trump. What are your reasons? Up until the economy took a dump because of an act of God (or a Chinese bio-weapons lab) under Trump the economy was booming, unemployment was at the lowest point any of us have ever seen, blacks and latino unemployment was the lowest ever, we had negotiated better international trade deals, other countries were contributing greater shares to NATO, his maximum pressure campaign is crippling Iran’s terrorist activities, and his tariff threats forced Mexico to crack down on illegal immigration. Being blinded by one’s hate doesn’t make him the worst US president ever. He might actually be the best president of modern times.
