Watch how this story disappears within a day. But the trolls will still be talking about Biden in the debate until next January.
Difference is, no republican cares if Trump is mentally fit to be president, nor will being mentally unfit cause him to lose the election.
Democrats and Biden on the other hand...
It gets old seeing the people with power continue to use it delicately so as not to upset people, while also not doing a goddamn thing about the opposition who FULLY abuses everything they can touch.
It's always the same thing
One side speaks respectfully of the other
one side doesn't push hardline questions and issues when they know can get the other side to say something that shoots themselves in the foot
One side tries to keep the peace
One side treats people with kiddie gloves
One side has reasonable policies and goals, or just simply doesn't change bad ones
The other side however, is constantly spraying a firehose of bullshit all over everything at every opportunity by constantly sabotaging the entire country in order to "one up" some imaginary opponent, actively calling for persecution AND prosecution of anyone who doesn't fit their cookie cutter mould (that they themselves don't need to fit into), punishes anyone for trying to make the country better, and has no qualms with lying, cheating, sabotaging, straight up committing massive amounts of felonies, all for no better reason than the infantile desire to be in opposition of something that helps another person.
Why would it disappear? Everyone's talking about it, more and more every day. The Internet is exploding with demands for trump to step down.
Trump stepping down would be the single most unlikely thing in the universe. Where tf would they find an equally shitty candidate to replace him? Nikki Haley might have a chance but is a little too sane to fit the bill. If they replace Trump I'll go outside and watch for flying pigs.
That's because of his diminished cognitive capacity.
Voters are demanding that trump step down and let another candidate take his place. It's all over the Internet. I heard he can't even tie his shoes anymore.
He has visibly struggled with operating a glass of water.
I heard he can't even tie his shoes anymore.
"Anymore" implies he was able to at some point
Bigly diminished. The best even.
Trump heard Joe Biden might have dementia so he went out and got even bigger dementia, the best dementia!
“You sit and wait for hours and then are notified that the plane won’t leave, that they have no idea when they will. Where ticket prices have tripled. They don’t have the pilots to fly the planes, they don’t seek qualified air traffic controllers, and they just don’t know what the hell they are doing.”
Man who flies exclusively on private jets complains about public air travel.
Trump must really think we're all fucking idiots.
Trump must really think we're all fucking idiots.
Sadly, the people who attend his rallies are.
I guess we aren’t really the ones he’s “speaking” to though.
I've seen a lot of comments saying he should step down. Lots of people talking about how unfit he is for office.
Allow me to increment.
He should step down. Ideally into a pit of lava, but that's just a stretch goal.
He's right though. I get shot, mugged and raped at least three times per week in DC. And I'm not even from Florida.
we will never allow mothers to watch their child hopelessly dying in their arms screaming, ‘What can I do, what can I do? Help me God, what can I do?’
That sounds like what happened to Anti-vaxxers during COVID.
The man is nearly as dumb as the people who vote for him.
That's his secret of success. He has the unique ability to fervently believe his own lies. If some other fucker like Cruz or DeSantis lies, you can always see they're aware of it and cringing inside. That's why they are never perceived as "authentic" by the moron base.
The rapist Dementia Don 34 needs to drop out. He's too old and his brain is cooked from all the adderall.
This is how he has talked since campaigning in 2016, just a random word salad of whatever he thinks will get him attention. Maybe it is getting worse?
I honestly can't tell because he has been incoherent the whole time, but hoping the media actually stays focused on it for a while.
He's gotten worse over time. I remember during the 2020 cycle seeing video comparisons even between his 2016 and 2020 debates.
I don't exactly enjoy going back and watching him talk, but it's shocking going back and comparing seeing how drastic the change has been.
Here's a bit of the 2016 RNC debate. Trump is still rude and crass. He's not coming off as an intellectual, but he's completing his sentences and making coherent points. He wasn't getting obviously confused like he has been since- talking about airports being involved in the Revolutionary War, claiming Nikki Haley was responsible for January 6th, the famous rant about his uncle being a genius, etc.
Trump should also stop running for president.
I think I saw in another comment here on lemm.ee that biden should make it illegal for felons to be president (dont worry, its an official act!) and then biden resigns. I hope it happens. We need turn the country off and turn it back on again.
SCOTUS will just rule he can't do that
We will take over the horribly run capital of our nation in Washington, D.C., and clean it up, renovate it, and rebuild our capital city, so that it is no longer a nightmare of murder and crime.
Uhhh why you no do that during your first term? It's not like DC has suddenly become shitty in the last four years.
“We will take over the horribly run capital of our nation in Washington, D.C."
Can't disenfranchise us, we're already disenfranchised. Give us 2 senators and a representative, then you'll have something to take away.
Let's get Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands proper representation as well.
"powerful" death sentence.
Well, yeah. Wouldn't wanna get involved in one of those limp-wristed, rainbow colored LIBRUL executions, now would we?
Something tells me he's not going to include the Sacklers in this crusade against "drug dealers."
He can't even stay on topic because the issue at hand doesn't impact him. In his mind airports are the biggest issue to the American voter because he is dealing with it constantly while campaigning.
And that's ignoring the rhetoric. It would be funny if this wasn't the existential threat it was.
The only thing standing in the way of this sundowning narcissist fascist is a sundowning hubristic imperialist. At least he will try his best. 😮💨
I think I lost some brain cells reading that.
"Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you're a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it's true! — but when you're a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that's why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we're a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it's not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it's four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven't figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it's gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible."
This is why fumbling is such a bad argument. People aren’t listening to the overall message. They are just tone fucking each syllable now as the only problem between these two and that’s a real problem
The problem with Biden was he should step down for someone else and the concern of that is pivoting this late can be bad for dems.
But that doesn’t mean we start the same measurement on trump as the message he is conveying is horrible. It doesn’t compare.
Americans have a double-standard. If you profess to be a real politician, stand-up person, and trying to do good you have to appear strong, smart and effective. If you profess to be a fascist and want to hurt other people you can literally do anything and appear to be the dumbest, foulest, most incompetent piece of filth in existence and you won't lose any support.
Fuck me.
When is he going to step aside for a more coherent Republican replacement? He is not fit for the office at such an age!
I can see what people are trying to do, but it doesn't work. The right wing talking points about the less-right wing don't work when flipped, because his followers don't care. They lap it up.
They're tootling around in mobility scooters covered with Trump flags and stickers. Their homes have been shrines to him since 2016. He could physically shit himself on stage and these people would still vote for him, no questions asked. Trump makes them feel good about their hatred they've been told is wrong for the last few decades. Their MAGA is an all-white suburb as far as the eye can see.
The only thing that will stop them is his death. A large chunk of the movement will die with him. Those followers don't really seem to care for the republican party. That's the only upside.
Fascism has the whole propaganda thing nailed down. It's just too hard to get people excited about a mediocre amount of progressivism. The Nazis got this and have been the model for it ever since.
I honestly don't know what the solution is.
