In total.

Odds on Trump, if he's elected, trying to get another constitutional amendment to overturn the 22nd? ;)

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.

I doubt if he'd try, it's a pretty high bar:
"The amendment process is very difficult and time consuming: A proposed amendment must be passed by two-thirds of both houses of Congress, then ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the states..."

There's an (edited) video showing Biden ignoring a black gal in the line to meet him & she looks about to cry.

Dem's promptly put out their own edited video showing him hugging her... but that was AFTER he'd been told to go back & correct his screw up.

I see his wife is standing in for his appearances now? I gather she is the drive behind this and allegedly the person stopping him from standing down. My (American) cousin said anybody else would be charged with elder abuse! :crazy:

Yesterday's WH press conference was a bit confrontational... They spent the rest of the day covering their ass.

Plenty, but they pale into insignificance compared to Biden's.

I suppose this is the viewpoint I struggle to understand. It's not really even about politics in most cases, more on a personal level.

From my perspective – and I know this pretty much aligns with millions of others – I think that Biden is useless, but Trump is dangerous. He also shares all of Biden's problems just as a starting point.

I'd see it as something like this:


BIDEN'S FLAWS
  • Way too old
  • Mentally and physically waning
  • Rambles incoherently sometimes

TRUMP'S FLAWS
  • Way too old
  • Mentally and physically waning
  • Rambles incoherently sometimes
  • Tried to overthrow the government
  • Moronically stupid
  • Lies constantly about everything
  • Narcissist
  • Egotist
  • Driven only by greed and revenge
  • Has no policies at all, except for locking up his perceived political enemies and deporting anyone 'foreign'
  • Convinced his followers to distrust the free press and to rely solely on his own personal social media site for 'news'
  • Admires dictators
  • Has no interest in politics other than for personal gain or credit
  • Has no humility, humour, kindness, or any other identifiable positive human quality whatsoever
  • Believes he is an untouchable emperor
  • Refuses to accept any advice from any expert/professional/civil servant/etc unless they agree with him on everything and devote themselves to him entirely
  • Anyone that disagrees with him is sacked/cancelled/insulted/humiliated/threatened/publicly mocked, whether a political opponent or his own staff
  • Favours enemy states over his own in terms of intelligence/trust/politics
  • Actively against all allies
  • Happy to personally insult other state leaders, whether allies, foes, nuclear enemies etc risking war
  • Utterly incompetent
  • No known skills or qualities or relevant experience to do the job
  • Utterly partisan
  • Utterly divisive. Detests the majority of Americans and makes no secret of it. Detests the remainder too, though pretends not to.



I'd assume that you would disagree with this, but I'm genuinely curious as to how.

It's almost as if you've inadvertently switched the headings. Most of "Trump's Flaws" would be more accurately put under the "Biden's Flaws" heading. E.g. just to pick one of many, "Has no policies at all, except for locking up his perceived political enemies and deporting anyone 'foreign'". Trump didn't go after Hillary, even though there was plenty of evidence of criminal behaviour. Biden (or, more accurately, his minders, Joe doesn't have a clue what's going on) has weaponised the legal system to go after Trump.

Most of the rest is projection: i.e. this is what our side is doing so the other side MUST be doing it as well.

Naturally you're entitled to your opinion, but I don't see anything that relates to reality in there.
