Depends on whether Obama can catch Sleepy Joe before he wanders off into the woods....

 

I think Joe has enough handlers to pump him full of drugs and make sure he makes it onto the stage.. 😉

Just watched an interview with The Daily Show's Jordan Klepper.....

 

He's telling a story about being at the Jan 6th insurrection and interviewing a guy who had been waving a pitchfork around......as he's talking to pitchfork guy, some other clown comes over and starts screaming obscenities at him. (Klepper had security, so Obscenity guy couldn't actually touch him)

 

According to JK, the guy with the pitchfork tells the screamer to back off, saying "you don't speak for me"....Now Klepper says, he is is in the odd position of being thankful for the "level headed" guy, who just a few minutes before, was swinging a pitchfork around....:classic_laugh:

 

He adds, "Then Pitchfork Man makes eye contact and nods towards Obscenity Man, as if to say, Can you believe this guy?" :classic_laugh:

Yeah....luckily, someone left "hundreds of thousands of dollars" worth of Coke at the White House....

 

Brandon's feet probably won't even touch the debate stage....

Regarding the “Biden appears to freeze” and “Biden appears to wander away” posts in this thread-

Sinclair floods local news websites with hundreds of deceptive articles about Biden's mental fitness

JUN 17, 2024
 
This month, Sinclair Broadcast Group has flooded a vast network of local news websites with misleading articles suggesting that President Biden is mentally unfit for office. The articles are based on specious social media posts by the Republican National Committee (RNC), which are then repackaged to resemble news reports. The thinly disguised political attacks are then syndicated to dozens of local news websites owned by Sinclair, where they are given the imprimatur of mainstream media brands, including NBC, ABC, and CBS. 
 
For example, on June 10, Biden attended an event on the White House lawn celebrating Juneteenth. The event included a musical performance, and Biden listened with a broad smile but did not dance. The RNC's "research" team posted a clip of Biden on X with the caption, "Why isn't Biden moving?"  Hours later, the RNC's post was embedded into an article published by Sinclair's National Desk, with the headline, "Biden appears to freeze, slur words during White House Juneteenth event." 
 

On June 13, Sinclair's National Desk published an article headlined, "Biden appears to wander away during G7 summit, escorted back by Italian PM." The article links to a social media post by right-wing polemicist Collin Rugg, who commented on a video clip by RNC Research. Rugg says Biden "appears to start wandering off at the G7 summit and has to be handled back in," describing it as a "clown show." The Trump campaign claimed Biden was "wandering around like a brain-dead zombie." Sinclair, echoing the Trump campaign's political attack,  described it as one of "a string of strange incidents for Biden."

There was nothing strange about the incident. The G7 leaders watched a skydiving demonstration, with each parachuter carrying a flag for each nation. Biden briefly walks away from the group to give another parachuter a thumbs up. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said that Biden "was being very polite and went over to talk to all of them individually." 

Both sides amirite? Somebody please show something even remotely similar coming from the "liberal" media ever. I don't mean questioning health, I mean a concerted effort to deliberately edit footage and create a narrative shared across a national platform. I'll wait

Not gonna lie, I can relate to needing a daily pick me up and i'm less than half his age.

Same. Being up at 2am and then sometimes pulling a 12 hour workday requires a pick me up. Too much coffee and then the jitters set in.

Pretty sure both Candidates are vigorous young men with new ideas......

 

Agreed Drumpf will be on some uppers as well to be able to tango for ~2 hours
 

Sadly being a vigorous young’n does not equate to better; see Skippy and Trudy.
Though I do like seeing a leader have a level of high energy, which I doubt we see in this upcoming debate lol

I'm basically commenting that both are not young, and both have issues.

I and many others here and everywhere have been advocating that Biden wins and then steps down. 
 

Yes, he has handlers and yes there are people in place to step up and continue the mandate, but, it’s more important that he gets elected first.

No argument there. I just feel people saying Biden is old and not seeing how messed up Pumpkinhead is, are deluding themselves.

Then again I'm seeing a lot of random idiots who are either being bribed with Russian money, or too stupid to see what a failure Pumpkinhead is as a business person or otherwise. Everything is for show. All he wants is himself and other rich people to stay rich.

Trump seems to have an obsession with sharks and electricity.  He’s peddled this anecdote on more than one of his rally’s.  
 

 

 

Used to play the original....If you listen to the guitar, you'll notice he plays the same chord over and over. (an "A" IIRC) I always thought Eddy Grant was a bit of a genius to write a hit song with no changes....

 

BTW: I was playing keys on that one, so it was actually kind of fun for me....:classic_smile:

When Hendrix briefly played for James Brown, before joining, he was asked if he could play some sort of E chord. When he replied yes he was further asked 'Can you play it all night?'
