OLD MEN
RUNNING THE WORLD
A NEW AGE!

[Max™]

Also I have to admit weird sort of mixed feelings over Trump--a noted germaphobe--choosing the "ignore and deny it til it goes away" approach for COVID-19 (it's A coronavirus, not THE coronavirus, argh!) because:

a: It's looking like it's going to give the economy a good hard fucking, and I was seriously worried we'd manage to fuck up and elect him again if the market outlook was still positive all year

b: It seems to be most dangerous for very old people... and we have a real nasty infestation of hateful old motherfuckers clinging desperately to power so any chance of thinning their numbers is good news, go cough on a politician

c: It looks like poor and communities which are underserved medically are most at risk, plus dogs and cats can catch but not spread it, so go cough on a rich person for the doggos and kitters

I don't want the people who are inevitably going to suffer due to this to have to suffer, which sucks, but I really do hope some of the old fuckers in various houses and senates and such keel over and die coughing as they drown in their own lung fluids, also Jenny McCarthy, go cough on that monstrous babykiller!

Trump probably won't be hurt even by economic armageddon: His supporters have no relationship to reality anymore.

However, 8% of Iran's parliament are infected and several government officials have died, so it seems to have the same effect on old parliamentarians as it does nursing homes.

When did Biden ramble about record players?

It's in here, along with his various other gaffes.

Now, you wouldn't know I stuttered if we talked unless I got stuck in a rare case where after a pause I have to begin a word with no alternative, sometimes I end up having to say "I'm trying to say..." to start it moving again, and that generally only happens if someone were to ask me the exact word for something, or pronunciation of like "eurypides" so I've gotta use that "yoo" sound to start it off but I hang sometimes there.

Repeating is nothing like blocking and both are stutters but only one is immediately obvious to someone without it.

[delphonso]

Those of us without a stutter probably aren't the best at recognizing one or not, but I think dragdeler's point remains: this stutter argument is being used to shrug off any and all of Biden's bungles. It's also something I've never heard about him until about a month ago, which doesn't lend it the most credibility.

The major point being that people are looking at Biden as "the one who can beat Trump" - but if his stutter makes him less eloquent and less able to handle pressure in an argument, especially with someone who interrupts and will relentlessly push on any weakness he can, such as Trump, then the original suggestion that Biden is the boy is flawed.

[Max™]

Oh, no don't mistake my defense as a stutterer for defense from brainrot, he's still sliding clearly, but it's not as bad as it can seem sometimes.

[MrRoboto75]

well, it could only get worse from here either way

[wierd]

He's had two anoxic brain injuries.  While they did not show much trauma at the time, they can still contribute to sudden decline later in life, especially if there are other health issues.

He's acting like very early stages of some form of dementia. I am not qualified to make that diagnosis, but some of his behaviors, such as the rambling, suggest it.  He needs to be evaluated by a hard-assed doctor that cant be bought off by large amounts of money.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Funny you would mention that: They gave him every test except the cognitive functioning test, with the excuse that since he's on the campaign trail it's a "sufficient replacement".

Biden's a war criminal and all, but this is still elder abuse.

Wealthy people often get the worst healthcare in the US, because they can pay for any diagnosis they want, rather than a legitimate one that tells them bad news.

(See also, trump's "perfect health!" report when he ran in 2016.)

this defeats the entire point of diagnoses, if you’re gonna bribe them into telling ya what ya wanna hear, why’re ya even goin to the hospital? No idea why I did whatever accent that was

[Cthulhu]

Trump is also clearly in decline, he was surprisingly sharp in the old debates.  Not to say he's a genius, but he knew how to cut where it'd bleed, dude put the bush dynasty in a grave just by talking shit.  Biden seems much worse though.  I don't know if Bernie can beat Trump, but I'm still firm that nominating biden is suicide. 

[ZBridges]

I don't really understand Biden's appeal, but because he's breathing and isn't Trump, I guess I'll have to vote for him in the general election.
