He didn't say anything outrageous, so all we don't know is how he sounded when he said it. The most logical answer is that he sounds like he always does. Occam's Razor. I guess if you are saying: he sounds like he always does, which is old and demented, then I agree with you. And Occam's Razor indicates in this case that Garland is making up crap about future witnesses not cooperating to protect Biden from the country hearing how he really sounds. Anyway, it's been fun battling er.... discussing these topics with you today. I learned a little about signs of dementia of which I was not aware, and will keep my eye out for them getting worse with Trump. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And neither of us should overlook the possibility that our already held political views may be shaping our perceptions on this matter at least in part. Again I think the upcoming debate will be a good indicator. My mother has it. It's an incredibly heart breaking disease. The only perception I have of it is that kills you to watch someone die from it and it can rip families apart. I don't really give a fock if anyone in either political party has it, and it's not shaping any of my perceptions of political candidates. If Biden (or Trump) indeed has this and their families ARE aware, it's horrid that they are allowing either one of them to run as Presidential candidates. I am just making an observation; given what I've seen first hand every day for the last four years. If you have never had a close family member die from this, you're lucky. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Biden talks about taking corn pop behind the shed. Meanwhile, Russia has been in Ukraine since just after Biden took over, China is massing it's navy in the China Sea, and Iran-backed Hamas brutally attacked Israel, with the help of our tax dollars. Facts not feelz; actions speak louder than words. Oh, and I do remember world leaders laughing and mocking at Trump. I remember them doing it when he said to NATO pay up or shut up... and many/most paid. I also remember Germans laughing at Trump when he said they were too dependent on Russian oil, in 2018.

Engorgeous George 2,331 Posted June 8, 2024 The two party partisan system has taken us down a dead end road where we now have the two major parties presenting us with a choice between a plagarist of sub average inteligence in the throes of early dementia and a narcisist who speaks in sentence fragments, mentally bounces from subject to subject, who exhibits paranoia and is in the throes of early dementia. I remember when Reagan's age was an issue when he was 68, now we have two sh!t house rat crazy octagenarians running. A pox on both their parties. The ship of state is burning, its hull is full of holes, the steering is out, we are in shark infested waters and heading directly into rocks that will rip us apart and you fools are arguing over which senile captain should be at the helm.

You and your MAGAturd ilk have just moved way right, to a place where the seeds, common sense and the ability to compromise can find no purchase and anger, hatred and ignorance prevail. That is part of that but I have become more liberal as well. For example there are things that I believes in for years that I discovered I was wrong about. Example: trickle down economics. I always bought the theory but after 50 years of data, it just doesn't work. Where Republicans lost me: I have been and continue to be fiscally responsible. W Bush blew that and proved that Republicans don't care about it anymore. I also supported the war on terror. I'm more in the middle on this one after seeing what has become of the middle east after we declared war on it. And then maga. Maga was the final nail in the coffin. Life long tenants of the right have been shattered. Personal responsibility, decency, accountability, family values, patriotism, all abandoned by the maga movement. I've always believed in fairness, limited government in private lives, respect for all, and these values more align with the left these days than the right. It's a good thing to continue educating yourself throughout life. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've always believed in fairness, limited government in private lives, respect for all, and these values more align with the left these days than the right. It's a good thing to continue educating yourself throughout life. Similar for me. I was a registered Republican and voted Republican pretty strictly for a long time. I hated when Democrats lionized Obama during his term and I thought "At least the Republicans wouldn't do that. They are the party of substance over style." Then Trump came along and so many people on the right just decided to lionize him and throw away so many principles of what the party was just so they wouldn't run afoul of Trump and his arrogant bluster. And the MAGA folks won't admit it but they have fallen for personality and style over substance. Not to mention a guy who codes so much of what he says in ignorance and racism. Now to be fair- I don't think Trump himself is racist. I think he is mildly racist in the same way a lot of people are (not overtly racist but more subconscious at times), but I do think quite a few people that he has put into place over his time- or those he listens to- are racist. The hero worship of Trump and how everything had to be funneled through him (even the 2022 primaries every single mailer I got was all about Trump and then the name of the actual candidate was tiny) is what finally pushed me to switch my political affiliation to independent. i found it funny when people here were sharing the Elon Musk thing and saying "The right isn't moving, it's the left and it makes the right look differently." No the right is moving too and that political continuum is stretched like an overused rubber band at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
