In the same way that Fox etc focus on Biden tripping over and fluffing his lines.

Both Biden and Trump are semi-competent at going a whole day being coherent. POTUS is a tough job, these old gits shouldn't be within a country mile of it.
Fox show Biden speeches in their entirety, CNN etc sometimes don't even show Trump speeches.. & they did that when he was POTUS.

It happens here as well, I think more than once in Tower Hamlets. If they caught it and the people get punished properly then I'm not sure reform is needed.
If it's happened more than once then reform is needed to stop it happening more than twice. :roll:
Interesting that Farage is making claims too.

'Any country that has a large postal ballot will always be open to fraud and intimidation and it happens in this country [UK] all the time'


Fact checked:
The UK actually has “low levels of proven electoral fraud”, according to the Electoral Commission, an independent body tasked by Parliament with overseeing UK elections.

Its data shows that of the 1,462 cases of alleged electoral fraud reported to police between 2019 and 2023, 11 led to convictions and the police issued four cautions.

Of the five convictions for electoral fraud in elections held in 2019, one of them involved postal ballots.

He's clearly suffering from sort of mental illness, dementia or just senility, but ffs, he is in no fit state to run for the presidency. He gets worse each time i see him! Shame on his family for allowing this to continue, but maybe Jilly doesn't want to lose her title? :thumbdown:
This "so called" president is obviously a mere placeholder for the largely Obama/Clinton administration who are facilitating the hand over of authoritarian control to globalist corporate elites. It's not rocket science, so much has been as clear as day since they rigged the last election.

My guess is they'll keep Biden as a puppet for as long as possible and dump his lifeless body shortly before the election. I assume someone like Gavin Newsome will be the next puppet but Trump is so far ahead in popularity, even brilliantly orchestrated electoral interference won't swing it.

So the only possible way for the swamp to retain power and avoid the repercussion of their criminal activities is to start a war. Bonus being there's plenty of profit to be made during a decent war. Just ask Zelensky.

All the polls I've seen have low single digit percentages between Trump and Biden. But I suppose those are in the MSM. :thumbdown:

Black voters helped put Joe Biden in the White House four years ago. They may not vote to give him a second term, even though they dislike former president Donald Trump far more, according to an exclusive, new USA TODAY/Suffolk University exclusive poll.

The poll, of Black voters in the swing states of Pennsylvania and Michigan, found that Biden is still the first or second choice of the vast majority, while most would avoid Trump.

Trump is never going to get reported on accurately and you'd be fool to believe the edits put out by the msm. He (rightly) called out the American (and worlds) media for their fake news and lies about him and his campaigns. There's been more than a few videos on twitter/X showing what the media said he said and what he actually said. That applies to other people as well, but good on Trump for calling them out on it.

I think he has even called them out before.

Edit: Yes he has

Off on a tangent, to me a good way of telling how a person is reported on is by the style of photograph used.

For example, look at any photo used by the BBC when reporting on Farage. He can't always look like that.

There may be a video of this?

https://news.sky.com/story/amp/donald-t ... g-13153803

Donald Trump has challenged President Joe Biden to take a cognitive test - only to confuse the name of his own doctor.

The Republican presidential nominee has regularly lambasted his rival over his various gaffes, despite his own tendency to ramble or get facts wrong.

Speaking in Detroit, Mr Trump questioned the president's mental acuity. He said: "He doesn't even know what the word 'inflation' means. I think he should take a cognitive test like I did."

Seconds later, he continued: "Doc Ronny Johnson. Does everyone know Ronny Johnson, congressman from Texas? He was the White House doctor, and he said I was the healthiest president, he feels, in history, so I liked him very much indeed immediately."

However he was clearly referring to Ronny Jackson, who was the White House physician for part of his presidency.

The mainstream media don't need to make anything up about Trump, it comes out of his mouth unaltered. If he could rein in the bollocks he might find that the mainstream media wouldn't find his gaffes so appealing. If I can make the obvious analogy, it's a bit like Fox concentrating on Biden's mumbling and falling over - they don't qualify it by showing the other 35 minutes where he didn't, why would they? And, just to be clear, yes obviously Biden shouldn't be within a country mile of political office - but one shit, useless and incompetent politician shouldn't in any way be used as justification for backing another one who is everso marginally, and arguably, slightly less shit, useless and incompetent.

And this stuff is just annoying. You can't possibly be the best at everything, have some humility and some self-awareness you fat fucker.

Pretty sure Mrs D still has somewhere the poster of all Dubya's gaffs which used to adorn the wall in her uni room.

I too believe that humans and fish can coexist peacefully :D

Re: healthy presidents...didn't Teddy Roosevelt used to regularly box people in the White House? We should bring that back.

Pretty sure Obama was a regular pavement pounder too.

But obviously Trump is The Most Healthiest :lol:

What does that even mean? Any modern government is made up of huge teams of advisors, assistants, secretaries etc who, collectively, assist, educate, inform and advise whatever premier is in charge.

I imagine there's a fairly large range in terms of how much advice they request or require, and I imagine that Biden would need significantly more than most.

But do I subscribe to the wacko conspiracy theory I've seen on a few far-right forums that he's some kind of puppet installed by Obama or Soros or Ronald McDonald or whoever? No. Obviously not.

At least he was close, Biden couldn't even remember the name of his Secretary of Defense.
