Biden Out!

[Colt]

Interesting choice.

Obama isn’t supporting Harris.

 

[Argentbear]

Ok....

But why would the dems try to balk about Trumps age when he is the same age as Biden was when he took office in 2021?
Unless they are willing to admit Biden was too old even then.

I think it has to do with how republicans complain about Biden's age but it is somehow not an issue with Trump

 

[We Never Know]

I agree that continued attacks against Biden are pointless, that was kind of my point. But I disagree that Trump will shift, not completely. Trump will continue to attack Biden because it is easier for him to do so.

I stand corrected. Besides going right after Harris, they are still going after Biden saying "if he isn't fit to run, he isn't fit to serve".

Trump is currently the same age as Biden was in 2020.

If the dems say Trump is too old they will have egg all over their face.

Obama isn’t supporting Harris.

It's certainly a mystery game at this point.

Trump is obviously far too articulate compared to Biden. If he starts wondering around , not quite knowing where he is , then I'm sure it will be justifiable to say he's too old.

That surprises me.

"Obama endorses open nominating process while Clintons endorse Harris

Ehhhh... The fact that Biden is bowing out specifically because of his age kind of makes it true, though

Any chance that you might want to comment on the stance of the Egyptian governments towards Gaza?

Want and should are two different things; I don't talk about Egyptian politics online.

In general, I will just say that the average citizen's stances sometimes differ significantly from a country's official policy, especially in cases where said citizen has no input in policymaking.

(Also, since discussing anything further about this tangent would be off topic, the above is as much as I can say here either way.)

Mentally unfit?

Mentally unfit?

I'd say mentally declining.
At the moment, he appears able to do the job.
Better than Trump could. But there'd be
continuing decline on the job for 4 more years.

Is that why he decided to drop out, because he doesn't want it anymore?

I think he faced reality.

Does it address mentally unfit?

Yes.

Which would bring in questions of his competency of his remaining term.

OK.

Getting a felony conviction(x34) isn't a failure.

Is he in prison for it?
How goes the trial with Fani Willis?
When will the Documents case trial happen?

Where is it reported Biden is bowing out specifically because of his age?

We all know his mentality has suffered due to age but as far as I know he hasn't given a reason yet.

Biden himself said I'm not to old. I am mentally fit. I am in it all the way. Etc etc.

What changed?

When he does say why, then we will know why he bowed out.

Probably because Trump is still articulate and sharp compared to Biden.

Some pretty old codgers still have their marbles intact you know.

It reminds me of the time when Reagan came down with Alzheimer's and everybody accused Nancy Reagan of running the country. This situation with Biden is really no different aside from the fact that I think they were clearly taking advantage of him and using him as a front puppet president but it looks like even the puppet itself got worn out a little too much for their needs.

The good news is, I probably won't be able to say it's a puppet presidency anymore.

I mean, you aren't wrong

On the other hand, it's because of his age

People age differently. At age 79, nearly 80, my dad had zero dementia, but at the same age, my mom was et up with dementia.

 

[Neelix]

I can think of two good reasons.

One, moral high ground.

Two, there are better reasons to criticize Trump. Far better reasons.

What are her views, policies? She hasn't even campaigned yet for people to know what she's about--unless you count when she lost big-time in the primaries and had to drop out because she was doing so miserably. But then she became useful to Joe as because she met the "black woman" qualification for VP. Hasn't done anything to show that she has any other qualifications.

 

[Revoltingest]

I mean, I would. But I have better uses for my time and I acknowledge that you have chosen your values.

And yet, here you are choosing to
bicker with me. I think you like me.

 

[We Never Know]

Is he in prison for it?

Who implied he was? He was convicted though.

How goes the trial with Fani Willis?

Legal loop holes. Not over yet.

When will the Documents case trial happen?

Legal loop holes. Not over yet.

Because Biden shows his age. Trump has aged very well by comparison.
You certainly wouldn't have seen Biden look so agile after taking a bullet.

Harris is a race chameleon. One day she's black, the next day she's Asian, and the day after that , she's Native American.
