Question: What's the difference between Simon Rosenberg and a Goebbels-type big liar?
Answer: After Joe Biden took his Geritol and visited Congress, he turned into super-duper-man, at least for a few hours.
Knock, knock.
Who's there?
Super.
Super who?
Supercalifragilistic-super-fascist-liar.
Question: How many times can Biden take his super geritol?
Answer: Until his heart gives out.
Question: What happens to Biden at the big debate with Trump?
Answer: Get yourself a bowl of popcorn, either one could self-destruct. It's not quite the same as boxing, but if a pepped-up Biden collapaes onstage, you can bet that Super Simon will shovel up some happy copium.
p.s. It's not too late to replace Biden at the Democratic convention.
p.p.s. Did YOU vote for any of the money-grubbing whore-mongers at the DNC?
Do you have any verifiable facts to back up your comments about President Biden? Yes, he is over 80. And trump is 77. Wow, a staggering difference! President Biden has never been a great speaker, but he has served our country for decades with honor. If you donтАЩt think so, please provide me with verifiable facts that show he has taken more than he has given. Likewise, show me verifiable facts that trump has done the same. They are both human and both make mistakes. But one has 89 indictments and the other has none - a verifiable fact.
We all must decide what verifiable facts and truth we want to depend on for our vote.
Sharon Tobin wants to enforce a pro-Biden group agenda without engaging with well-meaning Democrats who reject Biden. It's much simpler to just shut them up in this little echo chamber of Bidenista ego-stroking and toxic hate.
You donтАЩt need to watch Fox or study Biden to realize its not about age or how sharp or well one enunciates but rather where one stands morally , ethically rand what kind of people are chosen to advise and help administer policies. I couldnтАЩt care any less what BidenтАЩs тАЬvisualтАЭ looks like as we saunter into our existential crisis. 4 years of governing without pleasing the kleptocrats has been perfect.
"Corporate Joe" Biden put the man who presided over the rise of brutal factory feed-lots in Iowa in charge of the Agriculture Department.
"Corporate Joe" Biden is ensuring that corporations have a plentiful supply of illegal aliens to hire, driving down the pay for unskilled labor and denying the American poor a living wage.
Biden the Vampire Liberal is sucking money from other countries with Unpayable Debt to fund Worthwhile Programs.
Biden is recklessly exploiting our captive proxy Ukraine to bleed Russia. In doing so, he has exposed the weakness of our military manufacturing sector and accelerated the process of global de-dollarization, while picking a fight with an opponent who has weapons (including hypersonic missiles and stealth-killing and satellite-killing missile defenses) that we can't effectively defend against.
And then there are Biden's glaring weaknesses as a candidate:
With Biden, Democrats have difficulty pointing to Trump's age and growing mental deficiency.
With Biden, Democrats have trouble going after Trump for his "penis finger" violation of Jean Carroll, because Biden did the same thing to Tara Reade.
With Biden, Trump has the immigration issue, which fires up his base and gets noticed by independents.
With Biden, Democrats have to squirm about Biden's complicity in the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
As is sometimes the case, John tends to significantly overstate his positions (Goebbels indeed!), but there's little question in my mind that Mr. Biden should have thought more practically about this second run. I believe that the mistakes he's made notwithstanding, he's done about as good a job as President as he could have, given our present political mess, but the possibility that the combination of the stresses of the modern presidency under any circumstances and the uncertainties of aging would make a second Biden presidency problematic cannot be ignored. I'm 'only' 79, and I've been fortunate to have maintained quite reasonable health all my life, but even if I'd ever thought of myself as presidential material (which I certainly have not), I have filled several positions of authority and decision making over the course of my life, and I'd be very leery of doing so again at this point. There are simply too many uncertainties associated with life at eight plus decades.
I'll certainly vote for him again if he decides to complete this run; the alternative is far too dangerous on many levels - but I'll do so with trepidation.
Except that Biden hasnтАЩt ever left his trajectory. He didnтАЩt retire and decide to come back to anything. He has kept himself in the game and active, AND this is what he prepared his whole life to do. He doesnтАЩt need to be seen on a daily basis with the same energy as the SOTU. Can you imagine being called from within to be president at this time? I work in hospice and this with elders and I have zero doubt that Biden will be fine all the way through his second term. Not only because he has the best healthcare possible but because he is compelled, profoundly compelled to do the job.
And he has chosen knowledgeable, effective people to serve in his administration, not one of which has been arrested or indicted for scurrilous crimes - we must not forget that they are the executives who actually carry out the policies, and they are talented, intelligent, and decent people.
I profoundly hope you are right, but at the same time I'm not sure there is any job on earth which places so much stress on an individual, and that has to be a consideration. That is the chief cause of my concern. In addition to whatever situations confront him if he is re-elected, one must also factor in the possible reactions of the most die-hard Trump supporters if Trump loses. Four years of what will be unremitting stress of a kind most people cannot imagine is not a factor to be taken lightly.
I should clarify. Most of what a president does is out of sight of the public eye. Those who work most closely with Biden have a very different take than much of the public brouhaha.
John, once you start back down that Ukrainian proxy business, you lose credibility. Your continued defense of Russian aggression is untenable in any factual universe.
I'm not in favor of getting anyone banned unless they advocate violence in general or threaten people with violence or other forms of assault like doxxing. We should just ignore him. He appears to relish goading people, and to get a large charge out of provoking the biggest, angriest reaction he can get. People who take the bait give him the opportunity to escalate, for example by calling them 'fascists'. Deprive him of that entertainment. Don't take the bait.
Biden is sharp. He proved himself at the State of the Union Address.
I am looking forward to the big debate between Biden and Trump.
It will be interesting to see a man who has done an remarkable job in governing this country debate a criminal who has committed fraud, shared classified documents with our adversaries, cause the insurrection at the capital where people were killed etc. Frankly, in my opinion, I believe Biden's in better health then Trump.

A shining light showing the way in these very dark times, all by illuminating the past. We all needed this tonight. Thank you.

But it's so much fun!
The Goebbels reference is because of the cultivated Big Lie that Biden is mentally fit to be President.
Can he read energetically from a teleprompter after taking his pep pills?
Yes!
Does he shun impromptu public exchanges involving policy issues?
Yes!
Does his wife come lead him off the stage when he gets lost again?
Yes!
Does he routinely make absurd statements that imply deteriorating mental capacity?
Yes!
I should clarify. Most of what a president does is out of sight of the public eye. Those who work most closely with Biden have a very different take than much of the public brouhaha.
None of which portrays what happens when heтАЩs actually doing his job.

I just scroll past his comments and all the comments to his comments. I don't want to waste my valuable time.
...said the Bidenista minion who would rather not think
Badly-aspected?? There are no Ascendant aspects except for an exact conjunction to Mercury: I say what I think. Mercury rules my Gemini North Node:
I'm here to say what I think, in this polluted swamp of thuggish thought control.
That's why I blocked him.

I report his posts every time. Perhaps if we all did that, Facebook would get the message and ban his posts??
...as if you were a fascist thought controller telling others how to think.
Biden is sharp. He proved himself at the State of the Union Address.

Regarding a possible Biden-trump debate, I am reminded of the admonishment to not wrestle with pigs.
