We gotta talk about Biden's press conference today

I would suggest a large majority in the UK
Can no understand how two such unsuitable candidates ever came up for election as president
And by now we are experts in this sort of thing. We were not even consulted on the previous two leaders here.

He did fine.
I agree he's a perfect match for the lefties.

They can do no better than that, and Biden is clearly now the pinnacle of their capabilities and intellect in the skill involved with electing a world leader to the helm of ones country.

So did I!

But I agree -- Biden is much, much preferred. Canadians are wise enough to know that nobody at the pinnacle of power does it by themselves. They have aides and expert advisers on every subject under the sun. And the beauty of Biden is that he listens to his. Trump is looking for "loyalists" who will agree with him, so he can do whatever the hell he pleases.
Of course Biden listens. He's a puppet.

Wow! Three blurbs about what some people "believe," and not one with a shred of actual evidence. Not a single example of "here is a situation in which Biden did what his aide told him to." Here's a quote from the first of your sources:

For example, in a new Rasmussen Reports survey shared with Secrets, just 9% believe Biden’s wife, Jill, “is actually making decisions at the White House.”
In the top slot are “senior political advisers,” at 39%. But, ominously, 32% of likely voters told Rasmussen that “someone else” is the controlling force at the 81-year-old’s White House.

What people believe is not evidence. How many still believe Elvis is alive? How many believe that Jews eat Christian babies?

Did you listen to Biden at NATO? When the questions were about foreign policy (there were a few honest journalists there), Biden demonstrated his solid knowledge of the subject -- and that's an important part of a President's job.

Hell, I've blown people's names before. Actually, although I can quote thousands of lines of Shakespeare at the drop of a cue, names are one of the things I get wrong most often, and have more most of my life. I've called my own partner and love of my life "Jonathan" before -- and that's not his name!

You are so ready to fire off that slagging gun of yours. Smear this! Malign that! Slander them! Defame all and sundry! Honestly, I do think it makes you feel good -- superior to everyone else to slag them the way that you do.

Tell you what: Why don't you speak to this quote by Donald Trump, about Joe Biden:

"He's the most corrupt, the most incompetent President in our history."

Please remember to make an honest and factual comparison to the "honesty" of Trump, and his "competence" in putting his own political and personal interests above the national interest more tragically than during the pandemic, when he faked his way through a crisis by touting conspiracy theories and pseudoscience while ignoring the advice of his own experts and resisting basic safety measures that would have saved lives (even though you've made clear in other posts lives don't matter to you, so long as you are not inconenienced).

And how does that differ from the right with Trump?

Edit....

Change two words and it reads just as true...

You show me.

No, that is not true. I did not bring this up. It was your statement in Post #44: "Of course Biden listens. He's a puppet." Bald statement, presumably one you think factual -- for which you provided no facts. When asked, you provided links to the "beliefs and opinions" of other people -- who also provided no facts.

(By the way, if you want to know how disinformation and conspiracy theory really work? It's what I just described about above.)

Well in that case, I stand by that it's the best the left can do which mirrors their ability and intelligence perfectly to pick a leader who they think is the very best to run the country.

Bravo. You win leaving the evidence as it stands that Biden is the best non puppet man the left wing has to offer.

Yeah, Biden should just do what Trump did and say he mixes names up on purpose.
And he certainly does mix up names! If that's going to be something that folks are going to hold against Biden, then I think it would only be honest of them to hold it against Trump. So here goes:

Indeed, in 2018, while Trump was still serving as President, he introduced Marillyn Hewson, then CEO of Lockheed Martin, as “Marillyn Lockheed” at a White House event. At another White House meeting the following year, Trump famously referred to Apple CEO Tim Cook as “Tim Apple.”

Last September, Trump appeared to mix up Biden with former President Barack Obama—not for the first or last time. The same month, he stumbled over the distinction between former President George W. Bush and his brother Jeb Bush, who ran against Trump in the 2016 Republican primary. In October, Trump called Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán “the leader of Turkey.” And in November, he said, apparently confusing the population of North Korea or the leader of China, “Kim Jong Un leads 1.4 billion people, and there is no doubt about who the boss is. And they want me to say he’s not an intelligent man.”

As recently as January, during a campaign speech, Trump mixed up former House speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi and former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley, repeating the latter’s name several times as he talked about the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, which he has frequently blamed Pelosi and other Democrats for.

I don’t agree with Nikki Haley on everything, but we agree on this much: She is not Nancy Pelosi. pic.twitter.com/hjNgmcrwAP

It’s not just the names of world leaders that Trump has trouble remembering. Last month, he told his supporters at a rally that Biden “should take a cognitive test like I did,” boasting that he had “aced” one administered by “Doc Ronny Johnson”—apparently thinking of but misnaming former White House physician Ronny Jackson.

It's likely from repeatedly 'voting for the lesser of two evils' far too many times.
Amazingly, people here seem to think there are only two choices. Blows my mind.
Seeing what the 'only two choices' mentality has been getting us, I'm considering possibly voting for Kennedy.

Here's a little question I think we might chew on: Which one of these candidates is facing calls from members of their own party to step aside in the presidential race:

► Is it the recently convicted felon, also indicted for election interference and mishandling classified documents, who was also found liable for sexual abuse and defamation as well as lying about his net worth to get loans tied to his massive real estate portfolio?​
► Or is it the incumbent president with a recent record of accomplishment in a bipartisan infrastructure law and the Inflation Reduction Act, which is a dubiously named piece of legislation that nonetheless addressed many of his party’s priorities, like climate change?​

Both men are well into retirement age. Both ramble through answers to questions when they bother to take them. Both mix up names. Neither took part in debates during a primary season in which they racked up wins.

And yet one of the men, former President Donald Trump, 78, has been able to remake the entire Republican Party around his own divisive persona. The other, President Joe Biden, 81, has now spent weeks defiantly defending his fitness for the job, slowly emerging from a protective bubble at the White House after a disastrous debate and spotty subsequent interviews.

So? What's your preference?

Again, there are more than just those two from which to choose.
Right now, I'd go with Kennedy.
I simply cannot enable a two-choices-only system at the moment.

And yet, for all practical purposes, it's all you've got.

You are of course free to vote for Kennedy if you'd like, but if you take a realistic view of how elections work in the United States, you know that your candidate will not win -- one of the other two will.

And you will not have had a say into which of them that is. Is that really what you want?
