Breaking President Biden has Covid

link u dumm ho

lol here.

Not OP but here you go... he's got the COVID.

Well, it has definitely made a reappearance in my state (California).

Sad Last Days!

Just give him some paxlovid and he'll be fine.

Oh boy. This isn't good.

This is the beginning of the end.

[QUOTE] Well, it has definitely made a reappearance in my state (California).

Gavin Newsom is responsible for this?

How many MAGAts at the Fiserv Forum have been infected with COVID during the RNC? How many showed up at the convention knowing they had it?

Why? His symptoms are said to be mild?

[quote]—NotYourMagicalNword

Is this another TeaCake alias?

Dude can’t catch a break!

That's a shame.

The cunt formerly known as Teacake. Don’t make me change my name to a symbol.

r13 yep

He said he would leave the race if medical condition emerges and half an hour later it is being announced that he meets criteria. Or maybe not. Will this be this week's cliffhanger?

A simple twist of fate can change everything.

Jesus. It's COVID - it's an established, unremarkable thing at this point. But, it's another frailty point against him. It probably shouldn't be, but some people will run with it.

This is so his mental decline can be blamed on "brain fog" from long-Covid, not dementia.

Get well soon!

This could very well be the open door for Kamala to walk through. One way or the other which I prefer not to think about.

Madam President.

Well crap. Quite sure he'll be taking Paxlovid.

Let's see how he's doing in 10 days.

That disaster scenario isn't going to happen, gurls.

Kamala Harris will murder Trump in any intellectual debate. Plus she has a lot to run on from the administration’s accomplishments.

[quote]Let's see how he's doing in 10 days.

He'll be saying 'anwyay' a lot.

Fake news. I just think he needs 10 days rest before the Convention. He seems so tired fighting all those Democratic knives in his back.

Her Pence debate was honestly a draw.

Don't be too quick to count out Gavin Newsom.

I'm not, R31.

This one's for you, R19:

Here Joe, have a glass of bleach.

[quote] Kamala Harris will murder Trump in any intellectual debate.

Americans don’t like intellect.

The Secret Service will conduct a massive investigation to find out which of those high level Dem cunts sneezed on the old man.

R31: he can't run on a ticket with Harris.

[quote] Kamala Harris will murder Trump in any intellectual debate. Plus she has a lot to run on from the administration’s accomplishments.

Oh look, we have a comedian on the thread!

R34 lol. Make sure to insert up the ass twice a day before a meal.

People need to remember Trumps fumbling of Covid was a big reason why he lost. I’m not trying to take credit away from Biden be we must remember the state our country was in. We had an idiot managing the biggest global pandemic since the era when people died from the chickenpox.

Don’t go near the democratic senators, Joe. There are daggers in those togas.

Lester Holt sneezed on him. The footage was edited out of the interview.

Nothing to see here.

He really spread it around:

He taped an in-person interview for a Univision radio show at a local Latino-owned family restaurant before he canceled his appearance at the conference. A photo shows him greeting supporters at the Lindo Michoacan restaurant alongside a campaign advisor for his Nevada state team before the interview was recorded.

this fits the timeline. I expect his departure was negotiated last week and we are following the timeline before he steps down. I love Joe but we cannot win with him in Nov. It's just not possible.

It could happen that Joe won't finish his term. I think he's sicker than we know.

It's possible that neither Biden nor Trump will be our next president. The universe likes to have fun.

So, are the loyal Democrats on here gonna decry Biden's covid infection as a lie to get him out of his shit show? Or is it only anything oppositional that's fake/false?

It's said to be a mild case, he'll be his usual self soon.

You mean his normal feeble state?

[quote]this fits the timeline. I expect his departure was negotiated last week and we are following the timeline before he steps down. I love Joe but we cannot win with him in Nov. It's just not possible.

Keep fucking that chicken, baby.

He’s fully vaxxed and then some. He will be fine.

[quote]Keep fucking that chicken, baby.

You might want to have a talk with Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi.

Kamala wins NY and CA. That's it. Landslide for Dump. She is a non starter.

This is a big deal, I can feel it.

[R31]: he can't run on a ticket with Harris.

Newsom lives in California, Kamala lives in DC, I don't know where she is registered to vote but that can easily be changed to DC.

Most people including me voted for Biden to get Trump out of the WH. I never liked him. A lot of people were lukewarm for him but we wanted Trump out. Biden said he would only do one term. At this point, I think only trannies want Biden to stay in the race. He helps them more than anyone else would and DL is hard-core trans these days.

Hope he feels better soon. COVID sucks!

A lot of news is coming at us a mile a minute lately. Be prepared for a shocker.

And if having COVID isn't bad enough, there's this:

[quote] He’s fully vaxxed and then some. He will be fine.

No, no. Go back to sleep.

[quote] Kamala wins NY and CA. That's it. Landslide for Dump. She is a non starter.

Hawaii, Massachusetts, Illinois, Minnesota, New Jersey and Washington would be a solid for Kamala, probably a Rhode Island and Vermont.

Susan Dey is getting ready to speak. Reports are that she will offer her best wishes for a speedy get well especially because she wants Joe to win, and Joe has had enough bad news lately.

So it wasn't just a cold.

In the space of a week, Biden has introduced Zelenskyy as Putin, Trump has survived an assassination attempt largely unscathed, and Biden (81) has been diagnosed with COVID. Is there a MAGAt out there sticking pins in a Biden voodoo doll?

This is the perfect opportunity to bow out gracefully

Relax, everyone. He's just getting another facelift.

[quote]How many MAGAts at the Fiserv Forum have been infected with COVID during the RNC?

Not nearly enough, but there's still time.

R54 Kamala will keep VA and Pennsylvania blue. And this we win.

[quote]Jesus. It's COVID - it's an established, unremarkable thing at this point. But, it's another frailty point against him.

Non-frail people get COVID every day.

[Quote] Is this another TeaCake alias?

Yeah, no doubt Defacto saw it on Fox News which is really on 24/7 in his dingy apartment.

R71 you are so mentally ill. Still thinkin I’m defacto. Shit sad at this point.

Covid for 80 year olds is a death sentence.

Biden: What if I get long COVID?

Doctor: I admire your optimism

R72 you forgot to sign back in as your latest black cosplay after you used the vpn to WW yourself.

Really, R73? Queen Elizabeth got it in her 90s a few years ago when it was even worse, and it didn't kill her. Cancer killed her a clouple years later.

[quote]Covid for 80 year olds is a death sentence.

Even before there was a vaccine, I read about 100+ year olds in nursing homes who tested positive for Covid and had absolutely no symptoms.

People in their 80s did and do get it, R73. It's worse in older people but it's not a death sentence, so do fuck off.

He has senility too.

R74 That’s the funniest comment you ever made kit. To my mafuckin stalker. Bitch you have to fuckin click the signed as box and sometimes people forget.

If he had dropped out immediately after the debate, he would not have been out campaigning and would not have caught Covid. The enablers who made it possible for him to keep running should be held accountable.

What is this about VPNS. I have never fucking manipulated a VPN on here. When I used to do IT in college I barely even understood that shit but I faked it lol.

R81, he could have gotten Covid without campaigning, dear.

Didn’t he just have the flu right before the debate ?

"This is the perfect opportunity to bow out gracefully"

Ha!

He's physically unable to bow and he has zero interest in going gracefully.

The sociopath from Michigan is also in Las Vegas.

R57 is right. And if it wasn’t for another old guy in Jim Clyburn, Biden wouldn’t have won South Carolina. Schumer told Biden to bow out Saturday. Jeffries also hinted to him to bow out. They see Biden behind the scenes. He must be awful. I say he makes a graceful exit this weekend or next week.

[quote]The sociopath from Michigan is also in Las Vegas.

I've been saying for a while that Whitmer will be the candidate. There's no other reason for the Governor of Michigan to be making a speech to a key Democratic voting bloc in Nevada.

And if she's a sociopath, who cares? All the better to beat Mr. Dump.

R86=one of Gretchen Whitmer's MAGAt would-be kidnappers, currently rotting in jail.

HILLARY 2024

R87 you hit it on the nail— behind the scenes. That’s what I just keep going back to even after convincing myself he can somehow soldier on. All the political players, Hollywood players are interacting with him for hours, days and days. They aren’t just seeing segments like we in the general public. Something is up. They would not be all out to get Biden, especially if the internal polling is so bad. These are liberals people. They would be especially sensitive to accusations of ageism. They see what we see and just know what’s up and that internal polling is like Fuck we’re screwed.

“Ooooooopsey…!!!?!”

Poor Joe. The elder abuse has led to COVID. He’s in no shape to be doing multiple interviews and events with his scary whisper, halting speech and bug eyes. Leave this poor elderly man alone.

[quote] And if she's a sociopath, who cares? All the better to beat Mr. Dump

Most politicians are sociopaths, but some are lesser evils.

Well, he did say he'd step down if an illness came along.

R91, The internal polling must be abysmal, not only for Biden, but for congressional members, as well. Fundraising is also said to be slowing down.

Does anyone really believe that Biden is capable of giving a barn-burner of a speech at the convention and energizing voters?

Kamala cannot win

The only one who can is Gavin Newsom

Young, handsome and slick he’d mop the floor with Trump

Kamala can't be skipped over. That would be political suicide.

Gavin Newsom cannot win until Kimberly Guilfoyle is neutralized.

Kamala can win with a strong man.

R100 Kamala/Fetterman?

Unless the Newsom people are planning on something nefarious for Vice President Harris -- which I would strongly recommend against -- id put those fantasies to bed. Black and even many female Democrat voters won't go for her being shoved aside so a "young, handsome (white)" man can get the job and take the credit for all the work they've put in. It won't fly.

Work your asses off with what we have, compared to the shit sandwich they're running against our team is golden. Stop being such pussies.

The rest of the electorate sees being governor of CA as a negative.

Newsom's a douche, a dick, and about as relatable as a dead badger's asshole.

Ya gotta stop peddling this bullshit, and move on to a better sexual fantasy. No one wants him but you, faggot!

[quote]Kamala can win with a strong man.

Can't we all....

[quote]Kamala can't be skipped over. That would be political suicide.

Polling suggests she can, and should, be skipped over.

He's obviously quitting the race.

Newsom might be president someday, with the benefit of a vigorous primary season, but he cannot win the office with things are they are. He will battle every cliche about California the Republicans can dig up or dream up.

"They're going to tell you how to raise your kids!"

R106 Sources?

You’re such a bore, Matt at r80.

R102, identity politics have killed the Democratic Party.

Americans will not vote for the guy running California, which has turned into a third world hellhole. Gavin has too many skeletons in his closet. Trump Jr’s whore will air out all his dirty laundry. He took a surplus and turned it into a deficit.

Trump will boast how Covid was no problem for him because he’s strong, but it will be a problem for Biden because he’s “weak.”

Even Rasputin's luck eventually ran out, Mr. Trump.

California is not a fkin third world hellhole. They don’t have expensive rents and gay rights in third world hellholes. Keep your Maga ass in Arizona or Colorado, where ever the fuck you went.

Ok so in one day we learn Adam Schiff told him to quit, Chuck Schumer told him to quit, Hakeem Jeffries told him to quit, Nancy Pelosi is still spending her days with a rolodex and a rotary phone telling everyone else to tell him to quit, and now he has Covid. Anything else?

^^^ God hasn't told him to quit! Not yet!

So spry.

R116 dead. You are fkin fuunnyyyy. Dead yo.

They need to shit or get off the pot. If they're going to dump Biden, then flush him now. What are they waiting for???

Apparently, he won't withdraw.

This is all a woeful mess, but it would be funny if Trump has a whole hateful speech ready to go attacking Biden tomorrow night, and then tomorrow evening Biden quits.

He won’t “withdraw” until he withdraws. That’s always the way of these things.

Can't the Vice President and Cabinet force him out of office via the 25th Amendment?

Once again, anybody calling for Biden to quit without proposing a detailed plan for creating, organizing and funding a national campaign for candidate X and getting candidate X on the ballot in all 50 states without the entire election getting thrown into court needs to sit down and shut all the way the fuck up.

You think we've got chaos right now? Wait for the legal shitstorm that the GOP will unleash the second Biden pulls out. And he knows that.

The 25th is removing him as president, we're talking his withdrawal as nominee

[quote]California is not a fkin third world hellhole.

Of course it is! People shoot up and take dumps on the street. It's a shithole.

r125, there is no money. Donors have pulled all their money out of Biden's campaign. He already spent 70% of what he had. Not only does he have no path to win, he has no money to campaign. It's officially over.

R125, if Biden died or were incapacitated, what would happen?

People like you, who have inspired zero confidence that Biden can win, will shoot down any option that doesn’t involve sleepwalking into Trump’s victory,

Democrats, right now, have no candidate for president. We're 11 weeks from the election. Trump is basically running unopposed. Democrats had years to find a viable candidate.

I feel like we’re on the USS Poseidon: does one follow the preacher and climb up the Christmas tree or stay below and wait for help?

People are going with their gut instincts and hoping for the best, but no one knows for sure what’s going to happen.

I think he's towing the line until plans are in order. There can't be any gap between him bowing out and the next steps being in place or the GOP will jump on it. If he is going to drop out, I assume there is back room shit currently going on to figure out what the roll out is going to be.

If only Shelley Winters were still around to save the day.

The POB would not be even mentioning that he should quit if there wasn't the ability to get a candidate on in every critical state.

Covid is just sniffles nowadays.

It’s all over Austin right now - my husband is getting over it, a guy in front of me at Walgreens was also buying paxlovid for his spouse, and I’ve heard of several others who have tested positive. Anecdotal but that’s all we have on a thread like this.

High fever for about a day (with all the aches and malaise that brings) and mostly URI symptoms as opposed to bronchial. My husband’s temps tipped over 103 for a few hours and he was burning up to the touch.

Hope the president gets through this quickly.

I had the same, very high fever for a couple of days, but the cough disappeared quickly, unlike the first time.

But R125, chaos is exactly what those calling for him to step down, want.

R131, in the book, the other group survived.

As a devout Son of the Faith sure Joseph would understand if they exercised the Catholic Option for dealing with inconvenient elderly leaders.

If Biden withdraws voluntarily there will be no litigation. How many times do you have to be told this?

[quote] The POB

POB?

[quote]Well crap. Quite sure he'll be taking Paxlovid.

Sometimes with the elderly (my 90-year-old parents, for instance), the side effects of Paxlovid are worse than just fighting through it. Depends on your doctor.

He was flown home to Delaware earlier this evening. Poor Joe.

Kamala has to stay on the ticket. If Biden dropped out the current donations could only be transferred to her. She would at least need to be on the ticket as VP

Michele Obama AND Kamala Harris! That's the ticket

If Joe is wise he won't come back, the job is killing him.

He walks like Father Merrin after discovering the artifact.

NYT reporting tonight that Biden has become “more receptive” to calls for him to drop out of the race.

R148, he looks wiped out. I legit feel bad for him (MARY! as it may sound). He's a good guy, he doesn't deserve all this stress at his age. COVID isn't pleasant even if you've been vaxxed. Imagine getting it in your 80s.

I get the sense that Biden really resents handing it to Kamala. He got boxed into nominating her. He did her job far better and had to work to get it. I think she can win, but it’s a shame that Democrats have blocked off talent since 2008.

I'm going to be on edge now whenever I see Breaking News. I have a bad feeling about this.

I'm worried he might suffer a cardiac event. This is really stressful for him.

Let the poor guy just eat some ice cream and watch Wheel of Fortune.

R153

The doctor will see him now

He must really hate his wife and grandkids

I don’t get what’s so damning about that plane clip. Those steps are fucking steep

[quote] Kamala has to stay on the ticket. If Biden dropped out the current donations could only be transferred to her.

Most of the money has already been spent according to CNN.

[quote]I get the sense that Biden really resents handing it to Kamala. He got boxed into nominating her.

Biden voluntarily went to James Clyborn and told him he would let him choose the running mate if Clyborn delivered him South Carolina.

Perhaps he is not as good a politician as he thinks he is.

[quote] I'm worried he might suffer a cardiac event. This is really stressful for him.

How the fuck do you know, Mary?

He might be kind of out of it to be all the stressed. I'm sure Jill is stressed. And Hunter. I wonder if Biden will pardon Hunter.

[quote] Breaking President Biden has Covid I think they are gearing up to have his Covid be more severe on him because of age. I think he will step down love you Uncle Joe.

Within the week is my guess. They needed a plausible escape plan, now with Covid they have that, and can move forward with his departure.

[quote]I don’t get what’s so damning about that plane clip. Those steps are fucking steep

Did you notice his right hand. The rigidity. The guy has Parkinson's.

Look, I'm r153 and in support of him (over Trump, DUH!), but all this stress on him, and if he actually has covid too?

I don't KNOW anything. But I do KNOW that if the weight of the world is upon you and you aren't cut out for it, you might suffer a fucking heart attack.

And if he has Covid to boot...it's not a great outlook.

So i'm standing by what I said...I'm worried about him.

Why are most people here so vicious? The President is sick, yet you want him to suffer more because he didn’t step down.

If Biden steps down, you’re still not pleased. Many of you, on other threads, don’t want Vice President Harris to run. You completely disregard her. You want her to step off the ticket, too. Then, you dismiss other Democrats for various reasons. This one’s too liberal, that one’s too conservative, one of them pissed you off 25 years ago etc. Yet, you ignore Project 2025….

I know I’ll catch shit for this but I think Biden should pardon both Hunter and Trump.

Those Federal cases against Trump are dead in the water anyway and by pardoning Trump it pulls the “persecuted” rug out from under his fat cankles but leaves the 34 state felony convictions intact

A good man. Puts the other side to shame.

To be clear, I'm r153 and r165 and I'm not asking for him to step down.

I simply stated I was worried for him. That's it. That's the post.

I'm worried about our president. This all so much for him to handle and I'm worried for him.

Oh...I get it now.

Nobody gets real compassion these days. They think everything people say has an underlying motivation.

I think, at 55, I've outgrown our world already.

[quote]Why are most people here so vicious?

It’s… the law.

[quote]The President is sick, yet you want him to suffer more because he didn’t step down.

What part of you is failing to understand that putting a sick old man through the rigors of campaigning is physical abuse?

[quote]If Biden steps down, you’re still not pleased.

Because he deprived Democrats of the right to pick their candidates in a primary.

[quote]Many of you, on other threads, don’t want Vice President Harris to run. You completely disregard her.

So did Biden. He was actually telling top Democrats that Kamala could not be elected, to save his own candidacy.

[quote]Then, you dismiss other Democrats for various reasons. This one’s too liberal, that one’s too conservative, one of them pissed you off 25 years ago etc. Yet, you ignore Project 2025….

Multiple people have multiple points of view. What are you failing to understand? Why do you think there is a monolithic “us”?

What the hell is wrong with you?

Trump takes significant lead in all battleground states

That won't last.

Andrew Yang is being interviewed on CNN right now. He predicts Biden will be stepping down in the next 48 hours.

He says that Silicon Valley believes Trump is going to win. And that's why they're giving money to the Trump campaign.

Step down from the race or the presidency?

[Quote] That won't last.

Neither will Biden R173 He's toast!

[quote]I wonder if Biden will pardon Hunter.

In an "exclusive interview" conducted in France, Biden told DL fave David Tyler Muir that he would not pardon Hunter.

We will see R177 I don't believe much of what Biden says. He is now admitting that he said he was only going to be a one-term president. So he is now backtracking on his lie that he didn't say he would only do one term.

Fuck Silicon Valley.

R87, Clyburn's another one who won't let go. He'll (hopefully) turn 84 in a few days and he's still in office.

It's interesting how you have to be a certain age to run for the highest office in the land yet there's no age cap. If a 21-year-old is too inexperienced to run then an 82-year-old is too damn old to run. We need term limits and age limits on the ballot in the GE. If we left it up to the politicians they'd never put this to a vote.

If Biden stays in the race, I am concerned about two events where he will be under enormous pressure:

1. The second presidential debate scheduled for September between Biden and Trump.

2. But the most important and stressful event will be Biden's acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention. If anything goes wrong during this speech with the entire world watching, it will be catastrophic with no time to replace him.

That the Dems are doing so relatively well, R130, without a presidential candidate should be encouraging to them. Just think how much better they’ll be doing when they have one & Dem voters, who outnumber Republican ones, come home.

Time to go, Joe.

R27, Imagine Kamala and Trump debating, and she mentions Epstein, turns to her opponent and says,

"Mr. Trump, I was that little girl."

Yeah R169, you’re the one that thinks Biden isn’t “up for it.” He’s stated repeatedly that he is and people just keep ignoring that and disrespecting him. I mean, he’s been an elected politician for 50 years. You’re just some idiot on the internet.

R185 and Biden may be a complete idiot in a couple of weeks.

[quote]He says that Silicon Valley believes Trump is going to win. And that's why they're giving money to the Trump campaign.

Mark Cuban offers another perspective.

I hope the Bitcoin people end up in breadlines. Fuck them.

Biden may be up for it, but he's not showing that he's up to it. That's a real problem. The whisper-speaking, slurred words, misnaming people, and rambling answers are all going to only get worse.

I would look forward to a Trump-Harris debate. The odds of Trump screaming the N-word would go thru the roof.

Exactly. She could talk about how it felt when he called for the execution of 5 innocent black men, what it’s like to live in a world of rapists, and how her job is to bring justice to criminals whose power protects them.

Do you think that would win her many votes, r191?

Did you not learn anything from the last debate? Harris would be much better at debating than Trump, but comments like "He'd be screaming the n-word" were disproven by his last appearance. The content would still be nonsense, but he's able to be on good behavior when it benefits him.

There are still plenty of people who think Central Park 5 are guilty.

[quote]I think he's towing the line until plans are in order.

It's " *toeing" the line".

Like in the start of a footrace, where your toe stays behind the starting line.

R193, watch the Trump parts of the debate. He is a bowl of smirking, lying, malapropping word salad. He didn’t do well, but no one paid attention. Which is why Biden’s support dipped, but Trump’s didn’t go up.

I'm the black guy.

Didn't Beau Biden die of covid?

One of the zingers at last night's RNC was the gold star family saying Biden talked more about his own dead son than theirs.

His constant references to his own son got a bit annoying.

R199, I hate this kind of false equivalency. As if this minor “annoyance” should be compared to the vile bullshit that comes out of Dump’s mouth daily (not to mention the entire Repuke party). It’s not worthy of even mentioning. In fact, I’m annoyed that I have to point it out.

Sure, R199. As if Trump will ever give a damn about their dead son.

It was an observation, R200, not an argument. But if I could delete it, I would just to shut you up.

This Trump campaign is being managed FAR better than 2016 or 2020. They are hiding or blunting his rough edges. He doesn’t give a shit about the guy who took a bullet meant for him or the Gold Star families whose children he set up to be casualties. People have forgotten just how crazy and petty this man is.

R202, you should feel shitty for bringing it up. You probably don’t.

Donald Trump tested positive for COVID-19 three days before his first presidential debate in September 2020 with Joe Biden but Trump didn't let it be known, so Trump was hoping that Biden would catch Covid from him, an attempt on Biden's life potentially.

Awwwe shucks, R205! That's just Trump being Trump!

Why point out now that it's totally psychotic?

That's the guy who is going to give me my tax break and own some libs to death 💕

Berking : HOW THE FUK DID WE LOSE?

DL Thread 11/6

R206, if Trump didn't believe that he was going to die of covid then why would he think that Biden would die of it?

My taxes increased.

R11

And how many of those maga knew they had Covid, and did not care and they had pictures and video taken of them standing right next to others without wearing a mask?

Biden-1

MAGA-0

How the fuck did his staff let him be walking around without a mask right next to others while the TV folks talk about him having Covid. And commenting he was wearing no mask.

Because he sees kind people who care about others like President Biden does as inherently weaker than he is, R208.

Plus, he thought: why not? If he had to suffer through it then he would make Biden suffer through it too. Because he actually is a psychopath.

Voting Democrat no matter what. That is all. If Biden wants to drop out, he should announce it just before Trump's big speech at RNC and totally upstage him. That'll piss Trump off no end.

"put Donilon on the phone"

Trending on Itunes and Spotify: Democrats favorite song, "Backstabbers" by the O'Jays.

R214 Sad you don’t know what that word means.

I'm just sitting back and watching how it rolls.

We don't have much of a choice except to watch how it rolls

[quote] [R206], if Trump didn't believe that he was going to die of covid then why would he think that Biden would die of it?

R208 Trump thinks he is invincible, I am not saying he thought that giving Covid to Biden would definitely kill Biden and it didn't work. Biden didn't even get it from Trump but I have no doubt Trump wanted to give it to Biden who he considered a frail old man, It is one of the reasons Trump kept interrupting Biden, Trump was looking in Biden's direction constantly shouting at him, knowing that he was shedding Covid. Trump cares about no one but himself, that should be clear to anyone who has been paying attention the last 8 years. Trump didn't care that he had it and was shedding it and didn't care who he gave it to.

I wonder how the president is doing, I haven't heard any reports.

[quote]I wonder how the president is doing, I haven't heard any reports.

Mild upper respiratory symptoms and not much else, per the White House.

R219 he's resting comfortably.

How is Biden doing?

Under attack by his best and most loyal friends 24/7 on every tv channel everywhere. He is realizing this is his Democratic good bye party after decades of service,

Sad would be my guess

He looks very peaceful R221.

Breaking President Biden is not senile.

R224

I love it when we get medical opinions direct from the experts

Doctors are extremely reluctant to diagnose dementia. My mother is Biden’s age. She can’t remember what town she’s in, confuses my brother for my (deceased) father, and sometimes sleeps outside on the balcony.

The diagnosis? Normal cognitive decline from aging. She doesn’t get the car keys back.

Cognitive decline in the elderly so they can’t remember how to find the mall they live 3 blocks from sounds so much better than—-senile.

R226, yikes. Maybe time to do some doctor shopping if your tale is accurate.

"He is realizing this is his Democratic good bye party after decades of service"

And thus, the end of the Democratic party as a viable contender.

Cognitive decline, senility, "Oldsheimer's"---None is inevitable.

My husband died of dementia at 73; his two older brothers predeceased him with it. My mother, OTOH, and my best friend's mother each died sharp as the proverbial tack in their early 90s.

My experiences prove nothing about President Biden, or Trump, for that matter. Both men have shown some physical difficulties; both men have had some verbal problems.

But IMO only one is a security threat (already a traitor, so....); only one plans to tear families apart for racist deportations; only one is a convicted felon awaiting more trials; only one is, in short, a sociopath.

That would be Donald John Trump.

And not to put too fine a point on it, but the original Van Gogh cut off his own ear. J/S.

One is a threat. The other is a risk. Neither's worth gambling on. Of course Biden is a better choice than Trump, but that's not really a very high bar, is it?

The Dems will need to figure out how the new ticket deals or talks about border issues , immigration, crime, trans including the sports and trans medical issues, etc .

And if anyone thinks those are non issues to voters you would be wrong. Those are hot button issues.

And this country is not nearly as liberal as many liberals think it is.

R232, the country certainly isn’t liberal. It’s more center-left and center-right. But it’s most definitely not crazy far right as the Republican Party is today. And in a system with only two parties, the choice is obvious.

[Quote] Doctors are extremely reluctant to diagnose dementia. My mother is Biden’s age. She can’t remember what town she’s in, confuses my brother for my (deceased) father, and sometimes sleeps outside on the balcony.

[Quote] The diagnosis? Normal cognitive decline from aging. She doesn’t get the car keys back.

nor should she get the nuclear code! 🤪🤪🤪

The Republican party isn't a political party at all, it's a criminal gang invested in raping and stealing the country blind.

President Biden just put out a message that he will be on the campaign trail next week. Thank you, Joe.

So he's really intent on losing R237. Send Gavin instead.

My feeling is he is going to cark it from stress before the election and the Dems will win a sympathy landslide with whoever they put up

R237 It was a carefully worded statement in which he didn’t talk about himself as the nominee

R231, The Presidential bar is fungible.

After all, we had 8 years of Michelle's buddy Dubya.

A "threat" vs a "risk." A man aiming a gun vs your walking down a dark alley. A grizzly bear with cubs vs your taking an unknown hiking path. Soviet missiles on Cuba vs our forming a naval embargo.

I'm Team Risk. 😎

R239

I think it’s terrible that many think the Dems have no plan,

they will now recruit people for the ticket likely to die soon then hope the country feels sorry for them. A bonus if you have a child about to die. The younger the better we need the votes and we as 239 has pointed out don’t have much else to go on.

A dem party that sad needs to die.

R242, Shouldn't you be out buying "Back to School" clothes?

that's preferable than shopping for a shroud R243

As he recovers from Covid, the president has grown resentful toward Democratic congressional leaders and former President Barack Obama.

So have I!

I hope it isn't serious OP

He'll be back on his feet on no time!

R248, that was a year ago. And he didn’t break anything, which is pretty remarkable for anyone over 70.

but it wasn't an isolated incident

Like former President Ford he's had a number of pratfalls

Ford crushed his re-election bid, didn't he?

Ford succeeded the Presidency when Nixon resigned in 1974 but was defeated for an election to a full term in 1976. Ford is the only person to serve as president without winning an election for president or vice president.

Umm, Ford was elected Vice President --by the electoral college.

Um, Ford was on the ticket that won the electoral college. Enough with the fiction anybody cares about the Veep beyond the category for which the Veep is chosen to harvest votes.

Umm, history? Ford was not on the 1972 Nixon ticket. Spiro Agnew was elected as VP.

[Quote]Umm, Ford was elected Vice President --by the electoral college.

Umm, Google is your friend dear R254

Gerald Ford was chosen as Vice President following Spiro Agnew's resignation due to his favorable reputation among his colleagues in the House. As a Republican and the House Minority Leader, Ford was seen as principled, experienced, and non-controversial, making him an ideal choice to counterbalance the scandal-ridden Nixon administration. His appointment also came about indirectly due to the assassination of John Kennedy and the subsequent constitutional amendment formalizing the process for selecting a Vice President.

Nice statement from a CBC reporter.

yes, R255 enough with the fiction

Covid is the least of his problems. He'll recover from Covid, but his campaign will not recover.

Check with the troll supervisor, R260, you need a new narrative.

and here it is R261 And I was correct Biden's campaign did not recover Trollina

R51, i was right and you were wrong ESAD

Harris/Jack Smith 2024!

What would donald do?!

It’s funny how so many lined out threads end up aging good as fuck.

Some of the best threads we have here get greyed out. That seems to happen a,lot Are the FF trolls at work?
