President Biden closes gun control speech in USA with 'God save the Queen'

Perhaps he accidentally leaked/tipped that Iran and Russia are trying to gain a political/military foothold/expansion in Iraq and that Cold War 2 in Iraq is not going well for Putin right now?

Cause heck, they already invaded Georgia too right, and are building alliances with Iran, Turkey, etc. and Russia already has clear aims -designs rather, of domination of the Black Sea.

Bet your asses by the way Russia would love to see the US/West tied up/preoccupied in Israeli bullshit, ICYMI the increased tensions and violence lately.

You’re right- everyone knows the Iraq war is over, so from my point of view - where’s the big deal in Biden making a slip up like he did, or the many numerous times he’s slipped up previously? Saying it’s not on that a public figure makes a slip up is just unreasonable IMO. Like I said earlier, it’s just funny when it happens, an awkward moment, but to use that to claim someone is unfit for public office? That’s being unreasonable.

If a CEO of a company came out with these many gaffes about the company and the market etc., they'd be removed by the board.

They wouldn’t, and there are numerous examples where they haven’t been, because CEOs, just like politicians, are more generally assessed on their companies or their countries performance, as opposed to the idea that they would be removed by the board for their PR blunders if the company or the country were performing well. It’s not political, but some people will choose to make it political based on their own personal beliefs, and they will look for any opportunity to make a big deal out of nothing as though everyone should be as concerned as they’re pretending to be. Here’s an example of the pot calling the kettle black -

And Bill Gates is practically a walking gaffe machine in terms of his history of ill-judged opinions -

And of course, just some people are eager to do with anything Biden says, there are times when some people will take what was said out of context in order to infer something which they’re fully aware was not the intent -

It has nothing to do with the person’s age, and everything to do with the attempts by some people to look for any reason to portray someone as being incapable of being up to the task.

There’s no age limit on driving either, the relevant criteria in your example is that the person is losing it, and that can happen at any age, it still wouldn’t mean they couldn’t drive, much and all as their relatives would be concerned that they were losing it. There’s no evidence to support the idea that Biden is losing his marbles, and every indication that he could well be elected again as President -

The president’s ratings in the most recent poll vary starkly by party. More than 8 in 10 Democrats approve of Biden’s job performance, while 6 percent of Republicans say the same. Forty-one percent of independents approve — and the Gallup report notes the overall uptick in Biden’s rating comes from that demographic.

True, but you’re overlooking the fact that it’s for that very reason people are claiming Biden is unfit for office, as well as every other straw they’re attempting to clutch at in order to support their claim that he was unfit ever to be elected president in the first place.

There’s no evidence to support the idea that Biden is losing his marbles. Subjective opinions of people who are concerned, does not constitute evidence of anything other than their overestimating of their own abilities.

I’d argue that being a father is the most important job in the world (hey I’m biased 😂), and Al Pacino has proven that age is no barrier to fatherhood, he’s likely to see 2029 and then some, where it’s entirely possible his child could be a presidential candidate in 2060. They’d likely make a better candidate than the gobshyte descendant that has JFK doing 9,000 RPM in his grave 😒

I can understand how one can dream up all sorts of fantastical scenarios that have no basis in reality when they perceive gaffes as being indicative of serious cognitive deterioration in other people, and to those people all I would suggest is that they look in a mirror - their own mental health is clearly in danger of serious cognitive deterioration should they continue to exhibit that sort of behaviour.

Yeah but you’re kinda missing the point that was being made by Ads which I was responding to - the idea that if CEOs were to make similar gaffes, the board would be calling for them to step down. It’s just not true. If the company were performing well, nobody cares if the CEO were to do something monumentally stupid like smoke pot during a live interview, that might even contribute to their image of a super cool CEO… 👌

Losing half the company’s value almost overnight though… let that sink in indeed 😂

I wouldn’t have thought of him as the first example to come to mind if Gates didn’t meet the criteria Ads was suggesting. He has a history of making gaffes, there are many CEOs who do, but because the company is successful, there’s no board calling for them to step down.

Similarly, if Biden’s gaffes were of the type and volume that were as serious as you’re trying to make out, his own Administration (the equivalent of the board), would be calling for him to step down. They’re not.

His rivals, and those who were always looking for reasons to undermine him, were always looking for any excuse to portray Biden as unfit. Similarly, rivals of the CEO or people with a beef against the company will always try to undermine the CEO or the company (Zuckerberg is another example).

Nobody is convinced, let alone concerned, about his opponents concern for Biden’s faculties, or for the idea that he is unfit to serve as President, or that he’s going to be too old if he runs again. People are far more invested in his administration’s policies, than they are bothered about personality politics.

There was no point re the question of his opponents faculties or fitness for office.

Attacking Biden with scurrilous nonsense is easier than defending Trump's indefensible conduct. Conduct with real consequences for the victim of his sexual assault, people injured, killed and jailed in the January 6th attack on the Capitol he stirred up, and it is plausible to suggest consequences for US assets due to Trump's reckless conduct with classified information.

Is it an obsession or is it just highlighting a pattern?

In my previous responses, I didn’t mention Trump, because as far as I’m concerned he is of no relevance whatsoever. I don’t have to defend Biden either because there has been no evidence produced that he is unfit for office. None. Not one single piece of evidence to support the claim that Biden is unfit for office.

He said Iraq once, he said Iraq twice, third times a charm. It’s of no consequence or importance whatsoever. If all you’ve got is a catalog of gaffes, those kinds of claims have been aimed at every President in an attempt to undermine them. What makes Biden any different?
