You really want to call me a Conservative and/or MAGA Republican even though you know I'm not. You know more about Faux News these days than I do, yet you use it like an insult. I don't ignore the obvious signs of major decline of a guy who I've watched on television many times over the last few decades. Both of them. Neither geriatric is anywhere near what they once were. Fortunately for Biden, he started at a higher point as far as intellect goes. Wrong poster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Long Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 34 minutes ago, RupertKBD said: Here's the thing...I'm not ignoring anything. As people get older they tend to forget things. Biden has always struggled with stuttering, so that exacerbates the problem. However, that isn't the same thing as claiming that he can only function coherently if he is under the influence of drugs. It's good that you note that both candidates are experiencing age-related decline, however I didn't see you suggest that semi-coherent Trump must be on drugs. Seems like despite your protests to the contrary, the majority of your criticism is directed squarely at Joe Biden. You're also on record saying you enjoy "getting a rise" out of the anti-Trump crowd. That's fine, but if your aim is to provoke a reaction, you shouldn't act surprised and offended when you get one..... As far as the "Nazi" thing goes, you have me confused with someone else. All I'm doing here is calling out a couple of posters who seem to think they are medical professionals and that they "know" someone is on drugs, based on what they have seen on TV.... I'm no trump supporter but something does seem off to me with Joe as well. He seems stiffer and more out of it than usual at times. Not to be accused of being Dr. Internet, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if he was dealing with something like early Parkinson's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing about those drugs is that, in the elderly, they lose their effectiveness sooner or later. Trump isn't yet at the stage where he needs them. His problem is his verbal filter insofar is that he doesn't have one. He could cover for his lack of both a filter and comparative lack of intellect with some quickness. He's getting naturally slower with age and he realizes it, but is no longer quick enough to cover for his misspeaking so he rambles until he gets frustrated and gives up. Quote Seems like despite your protests to the contrary, the majority of your criticism is directed squarely at Joe Biden. He's the POTUS so they will continue to be directed at him. If he wasn't POTUS, I wouldn't say a word if he was sitting on his home's front porch crapping his pants. That would be his family's problem, not the country's. If Trump gets re-elected, I will call him out on his mental issues if/when they crop up. Moscow Mitch McConnell needs to retire. Propping him up in the Senate is just flat out elder abuse at this point. Though I'd imagine he's more of a figurehead at this point. Quote You're also on record saying you enjoy "getting a rise" out of the anti-Trump crowd. That's fine, but if your aim is to provoke a reaction, you shouldn't act surprised and offended when you get one..... Like the last time I did it a couple weeks ago, I've decided to flat out announce when I'm messing with people in order to get a rise out of them. That's why I don't do it as much anymore. And when I did it a couple weeks ago to everyone, I even made mention I came to that decision on outting myself immediately after a past discussion you and I had on that subject. I think there's a need to pierce the echo chamber on occasion. That's why I am one of the few who posts the articles that the pro-Democrat people would prefer I didn't. I don't do it often, because I usually just stumble across the articles and am not actively looking for them. Quote As far as the "Nazi" thing goes, you have me confused with someone else. All I'm doing here is calling out a couple of posters who seem to think they are medical professionals and that they "know" someone is on drugs, based on what they have seen on TV.... Apologies. I was being too flippant by making that point to you in particular. I know there are people here that want to say that about me, but I do actually know that you aren't one of the overly-emotional ones that do.

I've noticed the same thing....but that wasn't what the debate was about. The difference with me is, I wouldn't state that I know it for a a fact that Biden is on drugs any time he appears to be sharp. That would assume that his occasional gaffes were his default state and only ever mitigated by the effect of some kind of medication. My position is that his state of the union condition is his normal state, while the occasional "stiffness" and verbal gaffes are the exception. The reason you notice them "more than usual" is because Republicans want you to notice them and make a point out of producing edited videos designed to highlight those occasions at every opportunity. At the same time, they attempt to promote the narrative that he can't possibly be the person he was at the SOTU speech without chemical assistance..... ....and it appears as though they've been successful of convincing some people in this forum.... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, it's not a question of which will be more qualified to run that economy than it is which one can be counted on to put someone (or someones) competent in position to do so.... I have confidence that one of them will do just that, while the other will appoint people who will do exactly what he thinks best.....
