US Politics

[H1Tman]

don't know much on US politics but Biden's mixing up of names, rambling answers is not a good sign for his second-term ambitions. The Democrats should tell him to step aside, and Harris should be pressing this issue right now.

The Presidency, as I imagine, is a lot of stress and this might be the sign for Biden to retire. And let Harris, Gavin, et al to lead the younger ones. The only question is if they can beat Trump.

Editorial: One candidate is patently unfit for the White House. It's not Biden | Los Angeles Times

It's unbelievable that the nation is spending so much time on the question of Biden's verbal acuity, when the greatest concern ought to be that his challenger is a self-aggrandizing felon and twice-impeached election-denier. Trump fomented the Jan. 6 insurrection, shows contempt for the rule of law and shamelessly lies in pursuit of more power. He's an authoritarian who admires murderous despots, wants to jail his political enemies and has publicly flirted with declaring himself a dictator on his first day back in office.

With fervent support from the Republican Party, he peddles cruelty, racism and misogyny, demonizing immigrants as "poisoning the blood of our country," demeaning women's looks and intelligence, and using disgustingly fascist language to criticize his opponents as "vermin." He's a man who lied about his wealth for years to cheat on his taxes, whose business was convicted of criminal tax fraud, and who's been denounced by many former aides and Cabinet members as a "malignant narcissist" who recklessly puts himself before the American people.

The national discussion needs to shift back to where it should be: on Trump’s fitness for office.

In Miami a few hours later, former president Donald Trump assembled supporters at his Doral golf club — another transfer of wealth from his campaign to his personal accounts — and ridiculed NATO partners. “I didn’t even know what the hell NATO was too much before” he became president, Trump told them. “But it didn’t take me long to figure it out, like about two minutes. And the first thing I figured out was they weren’t paying.” He repeated his boast and said he told NATO partners that if they were “delinquent” (there is no such thing in NATO, which does not collect dues), “I will not protect you from Russia.”

Thus did Trump celebrate his willingness to squander the deterrence that has kept the peace for decades, and instead to abandon allies to the tender mercies of Vladimir Putin, who just bombed a children’s hospital in Ukraine. Trump says he’ll make Ukraine “settle” with the invading Russians, a surrender that Biden would never allow.

This is exactly what the presidential campaign should be about at this perilous moment: the choice between strong American leadership and appeasement, between democracy and dictatorship.

But this is no longer what the campaign is about. The heavy-handed attempt to force Biden to quit the race after his disastrous debate has, predictably, backfired. Biden has dug in, pitting “elites” against the people. Democrats are fighting among themselves. George Clooney is diagnosing Biden’s mental competence (he played Dr. Doug Ross on “ER,” after all). And Republicans can hardly believe their good fortune, as they portray Biden as a zombie — with no good answer to their attacks.

Were the nation’s focus not on what is going on between Biden’s ears, voters would be hearing more about the truly batty things coming out of Trump’s mouth, and those of his top allies. “It’s really a pretty simple question,” Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-Fla.) said to the crowd at Trump’s Doral rally. “Was America better off four years ago under Donald Trump?” Four years ago, the economy had collapsed, hospitals were overflowing and hundreds of thousands of people were needlessly dying because of Trump’s handling of the pandemic.

The former president’s remarks could be charitably described as bizarre. He remarked on the looks of a “beautiful waitress” and again referred to Chris Christie as a “fat pig.” Gangster Al Capone was a “very nice gentleman, very fine man,” and fictitious serial killer Hannibal Lecter “was a lovely man.” His son Don Jr., who is engaged but not married, “has a great wife.” Tourists who go to see the Jefferson Memorial or the Washington Monument “end up getting shot, mugged, raped.”

The mainstream news media is calling the attempted Trump assassination "an incident." NBC said "popping noises" were heard. WaPo called them "loud noises." Seriously? It was an attempted assassination.

Looks staged. Really, you still got the presence of mind to do a fist bump after getting "shot" at your ear?

Dems have nothing to gain from physically hurting Trump. My guess: Iran, China and/or Russia. Dead Trump = high chance of civil war (all 3 gains). Not dead Trump = high chance of a Trump victory (Russia gains most).
