    lol - logical?? :p

    It was a softball interview where most of the questions were posed to help him and even then the guy was talking nonsense throughout. Most notably when at 11m50s he said:



    ..and then nervously coughed and said something else. My guess is that he was about to lie again about his role in the civil rights movement and wisely changed his mind:

    Hey Pete, whats your thoughts on this "softball" question and the reply?

    I see we’re at the stage where Biden is facing claims of what he was going to say, but didn’t actually say.

    Biden interview on ABC. He answered questions and even follow up questions. He didn't drool all over the place or break down into a senile rant. Just a politician answering political questions in a coherent and logical manner. No rants about mosquitoes or sharks. Kind of refreshing to be honest and very disappointing for the Trumpers:


    On the contrary, its hilarious that "Bidener's" get a kick out of him talking coherently for more than two minutes. It says it all really.

    Well some would claim Biden can't manage 5 seconds of coherence when compared to their lord and saviour DonDon.

    Yes, Trump has lowered expectations so much, it's backfired spectacularly.

    Speaking as a recent immigrant, I had to prove financial independence in my permanent resident application, so what is Trump proposing here that doesn't already exist?

    For example:

    OK look, this is getting embarrassing at this stage. People in general don't care about his shark speech. Only people who clutch at straws to attack him care.

    No one is "getting a kick" out of anything.

    He is behaving exactly as was expected of him, well was expected by everyone other than the Trump zealots who continuously claimed Biden has dementia.

    It is hilarious to see them now though, Biden is talking like a seasoned politician, being presidential and basically showing the electorate exactly how a president should be.

    You're right, the overall failure to do anything as President and only managing to be divisive plus the two hundred thousand plus deaths are more likely to weigh on voter's minds.

    Out of interest, do you think Trump will flip states he didn't win previously? His path to victory is pretty difficult when Biden is looking incredibly likely to flip states and also pick up the same states as 2016.

    Why should we dismiss it when it confirms one of Stormy Daniel's accounts of her daliances with trump?

    It doesn't confirm anything. He spoke like a human being. He didnt forget what state he was in or what position he is running for*. Again, this is blatant straw clutching.

    You're missing the point entirely.

    Trump made Bidens ability to speak coherently a central plank of his campaign.

    He and his surrogates have been telling anyone that would listen (and many that didn't want to) that Biden couldn't talk , didn't know where he was , wouldn't make it to the Election etc. etc. etc.

    Biden drove a coach and four through that whole attack angle last week at the Democratic convention.

    It is absolutely no coincidence that neither Trump nor any of his immediate surrogates have used the "he has Dementia" angle since Bidens speech.

    Since then they have rapidly pivoted to the "Biden is controlled by the leftists and is going to take your Guns/Houses/Money/God" angle.

    What will they pivot to next when that attack angle doesn't work?

    It's not like they have any policies or plans to sell to the Electorate themselves.

    I guess they could pull from their official Party platform and talk about the things that are wrong with America today.
    • Our economy has become unnecessarily weak with stagnant wages. People living paycheck to paycheck are struggling, sacrificing, and suffering.
    • Americans have earned and deserve a strong and healthy economy.
    • Our standing in world affairs has declined significantly — our enemies no longer fear us and our friends no long trust us.
    • People want and expect an America that is the most powerful and respected country on the face of the earth.
    • The President defies the laws of the United States by refusing to enforce those with which he does not agree. And he appoints judges who legislate from the bench rather than apply the law.

    Yes folks - This is directly from the current GOP Party Platform - It's there because they couldn't be arsed to write a new one for 2020 and just rolled over the 2016 version.

    That's how much they care about Governing - "Sure any old muck will do , as long as we're in charge eh "

    Apparently , they don't have a new one , because the Corona virus made it too difficult to get the work done.

    The same Corona Virus that's simply going away and isn't really a problem so Schools and Businesses should open up and just get on with it.

    That Virus stopped them doing the thing that a political party is supposed to do.

    The "Do-Nothing" Democrats though were somehow able to create a 91 page Party platform amid all this chaos and confusion.

    Weird that - Almost seems like one group are interested in Governing , the other just want to be in Power.

    Biden: Sweet things. Protect me at all costs.

    Surely you can come up with something better than that? Or was it just the best stupid meme that came up on stupid twitter today?

    I know - It's amazing how Prescient the GOP were in knowing how the country would look after 4 years of Trump.

    They pretty much nailed it , right?

    Ranting about sharks while bragging about war crimes is just speaking like a human apparently. Trumpers absolutely twist themselves into knots trying to explain away Trump's utter nonsense.

    President Trump is still calling him sleepy Joe on Twitter. Posters on Boards are not using the dementia angle because of mod warnings. It has nothing to do with Joe's (probably) pre-recorded speech.


  • Registered Users Posts: 83,636 ✭✭✭✭Overheal

    He's actually not.

    The last time Trump called him Sleepy Joe Biden was hours before Joe Biden gave his excellent live speech. It's been over 5 days since he tried to denigrate Biden in those terms and not since being blown away by Joe's performance.

    ah we are back to that nugget of delusion.

    fook me do you ever stop spinning in circles defending the con man. I know you admitted the other day you don't give a **** that he is a conman and hires criminals so I presume you don't care that he has nothing to offer but abuse.

    Oh man it must absolutely stick in your craw and make you gag something terrible that Biden absolutely blew the idiotic "he has dementia" angle clean out of the water.

    This shìt is the best you can come up with now? Seriously? No evidence for this but hey if you throw out enough mud you might get a tiny bit to stick right? :rolleyes:


    So sad.

    Oh yes, that cr@p that rush saying that Biden's speech was pre-recorded has been proven as false. Time to take another talking point
