No kidding, Biden is so bad. He really is acting senile. So many weird statements.

When talking about changing the culture of violence against women 'We just gotta keep punching at it, punching at it, punching at it' ....is he serious???

That was perhaps the worst closing statement of all time by Biden. Amazing.

And also to give permission to SA to chop up journalists. There's a pretty compelling hypothesis out there that Kush told MBS to go for it, Turkey intercepted the message, and essentially blackmailed Trump into a Syria withdrawal.

I don't believe the blackmail business without more direct evidence, but I do believe the WH knew about what was happening and implicitly condoned it (maybe explicitly).

He actually used that phrasing? It would be funny levels of incompetence if he wasn’t in with a shot, or it was an isolated gaffe.

His actual politics aside, and I don’t hold it against candidates generally but I think Biden himself is too old for the gig. Whether it’s a physical decline or just lacking motivation he just seems drained, going through the motions and lacking a real feel of energy that you’d get from Bernie who is older.

I don’t get a feeling of ‘Why run?’ from Biden, more a ‘why not?’ and I think that’s reflected in his performance thus far.

The bit where he forgot Harris existed was hilarious and deeply scary. I was waiting for one of the edgier candidates to ask how his alzheimers was going.

Trump will eat him alive. In a faceoff between two senile old men, the shouty pathological liar is a hands-down favourite over the guy who needs to energise a base but is already mailing it in. He needs to be given as many opportunities as possible to gaffe his way out of the nomination or we are all screwed.

Most basic fukbois wanted a young supermodelwife and to bang their favorite pornstar so they latch on to Trump and live vicariously through him, because they got married and had a family. If anything it bumped Trumps support up a couple points.

Krugman made the argument that people who liked Trump liked him nit because he was like them (most of his base is poor and disfranchised) but because he behaves the way they would were they as rich as him: eating KFC, marrying supermodels, paying for sex with pornstars, shitting in golden toilets and behaving like an absolute c&@t to everyone below him.

Doesn't make Nettles intervention any less ludicrous. Guy really needs to get a grip.

The point is that it's somehow "the only notable thing" that the son of a politician lied about it, and not the active President who paid sizable sums of hush money when he did the same thing. One person is irrelevant, and only through rampant desperation on the part of Republicans is he even part of political discourse. The other person is the one allegedly leading the country. It highlights the amount of naked partisanship required to overlook something so significant, only to zero in on something that doesn't matter at all whatsoever. Because Biden.

Remind us we've got bipartisan support for actively aiding and abetting a corrupt administration carrying out an ethnic cleansing campaign? At least 2, if you count Saudi Arabia's.

The Republicans seem intimidated by Fiona Hill. They haven't really addressed her very much because they likely know she won't deal with any of their shit. She already dismantled several of them (Jim Jordan included) in the closed door hearing so they're just ranting about nonsense instead of actually participating in the hearing and questioning her.

I would agree with you
Don't you feel this has been changing recently though? I feel that much more democrats (including some sitting in congress) are critical of US policy toward Israel?
I mean we re still quite far from widespread critical positions on the colonization process, but I has the feeling we were slowly moving in this direction, at least among democrats.

I think many of the democrats want to distance themselves from the current more abhorrent foreign policies coming from trump but without distancing themselves from the former abhorrent foreign policies coming out of or supported by democrats.

Sorta?

Not sure what I'd be measuring. I certainly think Democrats are more critical of Trump doing the same shitty foreign policy things Obama was though.

Probably because it was all through proper channels and procedures. Whereas trump is just tweeting it out or having some back alley meetings take place.
