Just in the last two days, Trump has bragged about passing a dementia test multiple times, misremenbered the name of his personal doctor (twice) and glitched mid-sentence while calling out for Mike Lindell. In a scripted format, he can't riff on and on, microphones will be muted automatically. Since nobody is allowed to have pre-prepared notes, I think it's going to be eye-opening for the casual voter who hasn't watched what's unfolded to this point. He literally has trouble finishing thoughts and sentences, the aphasia is progressing. I remember in the last Biden debates, a lot of people were waiting for him to fumble lines, and just not do well when he spoke, but he actually did fine. That's why I was bringing up whether or not Trump will show any signs of dementia, or will he step up to the plate in that department like Biden did. We'll see. Yeah, because the two aren't similar. Kinda the whole point. Biden's aging, Trump is deteriorating.

No dufous..all my posts are original. I rarely, if ever post links. Please find one post I've ever made that is verbatim to anything you can find online. I do cop to "I love the poorly educated" is not a compliment. I did steal that. I don't need to take material from sources..I have the ability to use critical thinking skills.I have a deep background in marine science, natural science, anthropology, world history..ad I've worked, and lived, in other countries. Not everybody is a mindless partisan that you can put in a box. On the other hand, your posts are predictable...just like fox news. Sources don't make something unoriginal, they make it verifiable. As much nonsense as there is surrounding this election and the various issues that encircle it, it's good to be diligent. It's actually great to be diligent. Not disagreeing. However, the accusation was that I'm regurgitating "takes" or delivery taken directly from information channels I watch, or listen to. I can legitimately be accused of occasionally going off the rails. However, I am posting my own opinions based on my world view and life history / experience.

I mean there's no real such thing as "original" thought when it comes to this stuff. We aren't partaking in the investigations or members of Capitol Hill, so we have to consume information from sources we see and hear. It's fine, as long as we maintain flexibility and focus on the bigger picture at hand. I'm disappointed the Project 2025 thread has zero posts in it, that should be the single biggest talking point right now.

Kind of interesting that the next prime minister of France (a possibility at this point) is only 25. Of course there are issues with being 25, as I..and the others out there, know only too well.

Thank goodness I wasn't next in line for anything of that nature at that age, because it would have just been one big party and nothing getting done!!! Lol.

Lol. yep, I was really good at the job I was doing at 25..and a good decision maker. However, after the sun went down, all bets were off, and the potential to go feral was high. Great times, but I prefer my maturity in later years.

Great times, but I prefer my maturity in later years. Exactly. Myself, as well. I was always very responsible when it came to working and not missing work, but when I was single and it was the weekend, look out!!! I have no regrets about my youth, but I would definitely have changed a few things if given the opportunity. My life is great now, and wouldn't change anything.

One is a natural process, the other is not. This kind of whataboutism is why the general public has no clue what they are doing when it comes to specific election issues.

This kind of whataboutism is why the general public has no clue what they are doing when it comes to specific election issues. In May, nearly one in five voters in battleground states blamed Joe Biden for overturning Roe v. Wade. (It was not.) The border has been seen as a top issue for voters, who largely blame Biden, when Donald Trump himself claimed responsibility and Republicans torpedoed a bipartisan security bill in Congress. Trump isn't blamed for inflation by voters, even though COVID relief checks, supply chain issues and mishandling of the pandemic initiated inflation to start with. The details matter.

Kinda the whole point. Biden's aging, Trump is deteriorating. How many times has Trump fallen or crashed his bike? None. Trump engages the media every day taking questions and answering in a fairly coherent manner. Biden gets in front of a microphone only when absolutely necessary and it is usually a comedy of unintelligible mumbling. He almost never responds to questions, letting KJP perform her sidestep routine I understand you look at the footage with a very hopeful optimism, but the honest truth is Biden is fading fast. If the Democrats could run another candidate they would. These debates could have a few Biden Brain freeze/seize moments, I hope it doesn’t happen but sadly it is a possibility.

I know more about "ISIS" than the generals. If Putin wants to go after (fill in the NATO country), I'd tell him to go for it. Hannibal Lecter, sharks and sinking electric boats, Jeffrey's a fun guy to party with, he loves beautiful women like I do..likes em on the younger side. inject bleach, nuke hurricanes, Kim jong un and I "fell in love", execute Milley, step up for your $59.99 "trump bible", and on and on. trump, the dumbing down of America as he shovels $#!+ on the public (especially Republicans)..till they capitulate and suck his orange dick. I agree that Biden has lost his fastball..no argument from me. However, trump is fuggin nuts and a danger to society.

Trump wouldn't be able to get on a bike, for starters. He's morbidly obese. So there's that. When is he engaging the media daily? You mean cherry-picked interviews with Hannity where he's lobbed softball questions that are scripted? Sure, I guess. Biden does plenty of speaking, was just interviewed last week at the conclusion of the trial of his son. Just watch Trump, objectively, and tell me you think this is normal. Not normal. He's 78, not in good health and it's perfectly reasonable to be concerned.

Too old and losing/lost mental acuity, or signs of dementia or both. This is what we have to choose from? That's the real story here. Unbelievable.

One cherry picked excerpt taken out of context proves nothing and it’s not really even close to a blooper if you were watching it live. There are literally dozens of hours of footage of President Biden falling down and incoherently mumbling.

It's all connected to the idea that the casual voter pays attention to sound bytes and recency bias, not to actual facts. Lumping both of them into the same category is lazy and false.

Ironic, because here is what happens less than a week ago when the teleprompter for Trump breaks. You're desperate to hold on to anything you can, I get it. It's just not there. What he represents is instability and danger. I hope the public finds out when he can't form thoughts without a teleprompter in the debate.
