So, the man just admitted then he's unfit to do the job?

So, the man just admitted then he's unfit to do the job? Nice powerful speech written for him too. The damage controls funny. All of a sudden, he’ll be everywhere to show how fit he is! 🤣 My liberal cousin has also changed his tune. He went from “Biden is a better President” to “both candidates suck!” The #NeverTrump people are the real problem.

They're both terrible, sorry. I blame the system more so than the candidates. It was obviously part of someone's plan for Biden to become President. Probably a liberal version of some Skull & Bones bullshit and for an outlier like Trump to be a consideration then, and now is mind-blowing. I don't mind a disruptor coming through and breaking up all the good old boys on the right and the bleeding hearts on the left, but let's be fair.. Trump is wild man. He's crazy. He's egoistical and unapologetic. And his influence is potentially dangerous, case in point January 6.

January 6th is the biggest bullshit ever. FFS.
Worse is happening on campuses right now. Were those people on January 6th holding up Palestinian flags? Were they burning their cities? Were they throwing bricks at police officers and jumping on their cars?
Give me a fucking break.

Dems lost the election the minute they stood by Biden. I don't think people wanted to believe it was as bad as it was, but last night showed everyone how truly sad it is. And hey, it's natural. It's life, but rad is right, they had 4 years to plan and here.we.are. That's why I say there need to be an age limit. He needs to step down for the good of America. I don't know who replaces him-likely Kamala in the interim-but they can't put her against Trump. I'd love to see a BIPOC woman President, but there's no way it's happening. Don't feel bad, we wouldn't either no matter how progressive we 'seem'. I still can't believe Trump is not only allowed to run again, but that he's going to win. I shouldn't be shocked, I half expected it. Realistically, the Dems have had a decade to build bench strength after Obama. Instead they trotted out Hillary and then had to dig even deeper to bring back Biden in the hopes they could get some of Barack shine.

The only difference in scenarios is the physical damage done. January 6th having the least amount of damage. You have as much of a right as I do to evaluate scenarios. You don’t get to tell me I’m wrong on how I evaluate it just because you disagree and/or don’t see my point of view.

College kids are still idiots, especially liberal ones. Maybe put it down to youth. Maybe.. but at no point in Western democracy should anyone in Trump's position be encouraging or inciting what we saw on January 6.

Language is important - a little speech on January 6 where he blames the mainstream media, big tech, everyone else for that matter and claims the election was stolen numerous times then talks about them tearing down national monuments and needing to fight and take back the country. And saying this to an audience made up of of conspiracy theorists, self appoint " patriots " and doomsday preppers is incredibly stupid or incredibly cunning. He knew his base, and he knew the types of people attending and he was well aware they would react. Maybe not to the extent of trying to hunt and kill people, but he knew they would react. But it doesn't start and end there. The Left Wing may smile at you and convince you the divide they create is for your own good, Trump meanwhile has been cutting promos for years during his political adventures like he's CM Punk fighting The Authority. The man could start a civil war tomorrow if he were to call on it.

If someone kills 10 people and another kills just one person (both intentional), you don’t dismiss the one killing because it wasn’t as severe. You evaluate it on its own merits. You don’t have the ability to do that. It’s why the attempt to clarify Trump’s lies already tapered off … because you’re response will no doubt be a string of “Biden lied too” instead of having the rational ability to say “Okay, yeah, Trump lied about those things.”

Jan.6 is the most overblown bullshit in the history of mankind. It was a RIOT, plain and simple, yet you had Democrats marketing it as an "Insurrection!!!!" and comparing it to events like Pearl Harbor and 9/11, which was noting short of ridiculous.

At the point here where the college kids pushed me from a progressive to a mainstream democrat finally. Supporting Hamas was my breaking point. Do not like Israel using the US as an ATM, but seeing people claim Hamas is doing nothing wrong just breaks my brain. I imagine they are not gonna have a good time with Trump term 2. Playing fort on campus is not gonna be allowed under his administration. Hoping campuses shut it down early in the fall, but I doubt it. Seems the solution will be security guards on campus to be escorts for Jewish students.

If you thought he was bad then, it'll be worse upon his return. Either way, it's a terrible outcome regardless who wins. The country is divided, and will remain divided until a real leader emerges.

It is at a point where the minority party of any conflict or society is seen as a victim and thereby righteous because they don't hold the power. It is flawed and pushing away the mainstream. As far as this election is concerned, there's a good chance that the American people are going to feel lied to. After Biden's performance last nights debate performance it's going to be hard to push the narrative that it's Biden running the country, which will also raise the question of who is running the Whitehouse.

I just had this fight Incy with people 20 minutes ago. Many learn to view things with different philosophical lenses in college but forgot that if the world itself does not use the same lens, then you are talking about two different things. So while under neocolonialism Palestine was wronged, if you use an true historic lens they are the invaders that displaced the Jews and stole their homeland around 5000 bc. Remove all lens, and they are terrorists who keep attacking Israel civilians for decades. There are many different truths that can be seen, and applying a single lens does not mean all others all must be ignored and your single biased viewpoint is correct.
Of late I really stopped caring and more am interested in how people view human life in these conflicts. Palestinian deaths most view as wrong. Jewish deaths will see many say are sad but Hamas's had to react to Israel. Bring up Sudan and people get pissed that you are changing the subject, despite the death toll there being higher and could reach up to 2.5 million by Oct. So only some lives are worth talking about out here. Others are a distraction or a needed sacrifice.

There’s a difference in what’s being said vs. how it’s said. Vivek has poise, intelligence, he’s eloquent. It makes a difference (in this particular case).

Hard to decide if it’s funny or tragic at how dumb the world is at this point.
Biden: Struggles in debate, must step aside.
Trump: Most embarrassing meltdown in the history of nation after losing election, actually tried to overturn said election (and turned on everybody who didn’t drink the Kool-Aid with him), rallies worshipers into violence, felony conviction(s), with him endlessly ranting and raving delusionally at all the aforementioned…Trump 2024. And that’s just from 2020 on, not the garbage fire of a person he was prior that made his first election comedically absurd.
No politician has been afforded such rock bottom standards as Trump, I remember when Howard Dean just going “Yeah!” awkwardly tanked his aspirations, but Trump, the Golgothan of politics, just keeps going.
Trump may be an unparalleled liar, as I’m not sure he actually believes his rantings or just knows his RINOs will eat shit if he tells them it’s chocolate (Snickers, now with corn); but the alternative is he’s a literal insane person if he believes his drivel, which definitely isn’t better, stammering and staggering through a debate is paltry in comparison.
Hate to see how low this country has sunk. When Biden is the best candidate in an election, we’re well and totally screwed.

Kamala blew her way into offices. Literally. I don’t know how people actually thought she was anything more than a diversity hire.
Trump speaks the way New Yorkers speak. Shit, he speaks like all politicians speak except he doesn’t do it behind closed doors like they do. He doesn’t beat around the bush.
The DNC trotted Biden out to talk about how he isn’t as strong as he used to be and as good at debates as he used to be and it’s probably the most embarrassing thing they could have done. Go ahead and let the rest of the world know that the President of the greatest country in the world is weak and vocal about it. What a turn of events in his attitude and belief in himself post debate.

Russia ring a bell? The left has been destroying and dividing this country since Obama’s second term. The only ones drinking Kool Aid are the people who support the left and are sitting in rubble being told “everything is okay” and actually believing it because that’s what they’re being told. You saying Joe Biden is the best candidate is the biggest crock of shit I ever read and it proves my point. Even C has gone quiet on how great the left is after that disastrous debate. Get a grip. Who do you think cares about Pittsburgh more? Biden or Trump?
