DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Palus Politicus Biden's Cognitive ability

Maybe so, but Biden is leader of the free world. And its an embarrasing look for our country. You have to wonder who is in control of what appears on the teleprompter. Because its not Biden. Who is actually running this country?

The US Government sold out to China years ago.

Yeah, okay. But, I don't like people who are mean-spirited.

We saw what happens when you let a president write his own material before Biden.

At least the President looks smart compared to his new press secretary. I almost feel sorry for her.

She does look far more like someone Trump would have appointed press secretary. I'll give you that.

Honestly - and if world opinion now means something to many - there was no greater embarrassment to the USA in it's entire history than #45. It doesn't matter if you want to talk about withing North America, Europe, Australasia. Anyone I have spoken to outside of the USA thought Trump was a complete joke. Biden and his word salad gaffes might not be a great look - it's not in the same galaxy as the former POTUS. When that was mentioned during his administration most Trump supporters or those on the right would say they didn't care what the ROTW said and thought.

And vomit tastes better than poop.

I mean in a Utopian alternate reality, sure our politics and politicians would all be crackerjack good and working together for the good of our country and in fact, they'd be so good at that we'd be helping the rest of the world because our sht wouldn't smell and we'd be just one happy melting pot of a nation.

The reality is that there are two choices. Both bad. One is less bad than the other. Observing and pointing that out is contextual and reasonable. I have no idea if you or Eve or any other poster on this board has ever expressed an opinion that the ROTW and their opinion doesn't matter when defending Trump - but it was expressed a good amount here and anywhere else online.... so when I see a former Trump supporter concerned about the optics of Biden, I think the comparison is very justified.

Are you concerned about the car you're driving today or the one you traded-in for it?

The sad reality is that these are the choices both parties give us. The fact you made the comparison of garbage to poop pretty much points to that exact thing. As for your example, your new car doesn't impact the current situation you may find yourself in. It wasn't a contributing factor to long term policies that are cumulative over time. If people were being honest they would openly admit that both the garbage and the poop helped lead us to where we are now. They both stink to high heaven and have helped put the stench in the air we are currently smelling.

Great post.

Oh look someone put together a video of a guy who has a speech disorder. Cool.

That is a good post. And as briefly touched on in another recent post - why do we have such crap to choose between? Blame the voters and the public for being too stoopid or too apathetic to care and do something about it.

How can you not post that headline? I will just to see heads explode:

Global approval of the US shot up 15 points during Biden's first year after crashing under Trump, new polling finds


lmao@u40

Well China certainly loves Joe and his boy.

The Taliban think Joe is just peachy.

That right there is a whole lot of people for a poll.

The deal Trump made with the Taliban makes him more popular than anyone.

- Category Formation.
- Pattern Recognition.

T shaped cans of Red Elephant crap have none of these abilities. You need a brain for that.

Showing videos of biden looking the fool is too easy. I watch them, but I don't post them. Not that I'm against you posting them. It's just too easy.

The left wingers went to town on Trump. About time they get the retaliation imo.

Dude has no clue who he even is.

So a straight forward 'Yes' upsets you?

But this didn't?


Rage, Rocket Man and the price of Donald Trump’s vanity

US allies’ policy of working to minimise the president’s impact is running out of road

The rage in the White House is unbounded. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un — “Little Rocket Man”, the US president calls him — must be destroyed. The international nuclear agreement with Iran is the worst deal ever. Free trade is a conspiracy against the US. America’s allies are freeloaders. It is a struggle not to conclude the real and present danger to international peace and security now sits at the point of collision between Donald Trump’s narcissism and the limits on US power.

As a candidate, Mr Trump promised to bury liberal internationalism. He would throw off global entanglements in favour of America-first nationalism. As president, he now wants the world to do as he tells, or tweets, it. Mr Trump is unaccustomed to defiance, especially from those with foreign-sounding names from unfamiliar places on the map. In threatening to eviscerate Pyongyang or disavowing the nuclear accord with Tehran, the president is nothing so much as an angry ego confounded by the failure to get his own way.

The outbursts have consequences, something I was reminded of during a few days this week in Seoul. The drums of war beat more ominously when you are within easy range of North Korea’s artillery batteries. Not so much because South Koreans live in permanent fear. These are stoics grown accustomed to the threat from the north. More because, in Mr Kim, Pyongyang has a leader as volatile as the US president. The rules of containment, deterrence and the rest depend on a certain predictability on both sides.

Old wounds have never properly healed in east Asia, injecting a visceral quality into competing nationalisms. The post-1945 American-led system gave Europe a collective security architecture and incentives to promote reconciliation and integration. As Hahm Chaibong, the director of the Seoul think-tank the Asan Institute, writes in a paper presented this week at a gathering of the Korea Global Forum, east Asia has had to make do with a “hub-and-spoke” arrangement that leaves allies each and individually beholden to the US.

When Mr Trump talks of going to war to halt Pyongyang’s nuclear programme, the interests of the region are brushed aside. What matters is that Mr Kim may soon have a missile capable of reaching the American west coast. Seoul rarely gets a mention — even though it would face devastating retaliation. When the president says he can deliver a “knockout” blow to North Korea he discounts the potential loss of countless thousands of South Korean lives.

This is all of a piece. To the degree Mr Trump has a foreign policy, he laid it out last month in his speech to the UN General Assembly. Part one avowed that the US had jettisoned the values-based approach of soggy liberal internationalists in favour of one blind to the national choices of others. States should be free to make their own decisions as between liberty and tyranny. Part two established that the inviolability of states was a universal principle that would not be applied, well, universally. Only those playing on the same side of the field as the US could expect to run their affairs free of US interference. Almost everything you hear from Mr Trump is shot through with this contradiction. Bellicose isolationism, I call it.

The temptation is to ignore the president’s ravings. Nine months of dealing with a capricious White House has seen allies turn to a policy of “workaround” — ignore the Twitter storms, deal with the grown-ups, notably US defence secretary Jim Mattis, and hope something can be preserved of the old multilateral system beyond the day of Mr Trump’s departure.

The strategy is running out of road. Mr Trump’s disavowal of the Iran nuclear deal threatens to tear up the most successful exercise in collective security for a generation. At best, it destroys the credibility of the US in international efforts peacefully to forestall further nuclear proliferation. Mr Trump might just as well have hung a sign on the White House declaring Washington can no longer be trusted by friends or adversaries alike.

At worst, it will put Iran back on the road towards a nuclear weapons programme, with all the immense risks that would imply for regional and global peace. Congress could avoid an open breach with America’s allies by declining to re-introduce sanctions against Tehran. The damage to the standing of the US, though, has already been done.

The messaging is plain. Why should North Korea take notice of the international community when the US, the pivotal player in its mind, could renege on any deal? As it happens, Pyongyang does not think it needs any such excuse. Mr Kim seems determined come what may to build a nuclear-tipped missile capable of reaching the US. It still matters that the US has squandered its moral authority.

Restraining Mr Kim, if it is any longer possible, requires a strong and united international coalition embracing Russia and China as well as allies in east Asia and beyond. That in turn demands a US president whose grasp of diplomacy reaches beyond the pugnacious vanity of the bar-room brawler. The price of Mr Trump’s brittle ego may turn out to be war.

That's actually quite true. The only difference really is when you listen to all of the hate filled comments from Trump who attacked anyone who ever disagreed with him. When you consider the lies he spouted and continues to spout about the 2020 election and the results being Jan. 6th, the contrast becomes glaringly clear. What happened on Jan. 6th isn't stopping him from continuing to stoke the his rhetoric that created such violence. Which has to make one wonder, what is it he's actually trying to accomplish?

Not to mention that they may be easy to make, but all of those videos are heavily edited to make him look even more foolish and dementia ridden. He's nowhere near as bad in reality, but it's damn sure noticeable, hell we talked about that during his run, over and over. Did GOPers think he would improve? You know, like they said Trump would be a better man once in office?

I've said it before, we were given two crappy choices. Each party have enough voters within them to make this the only choices that have the possibility of being elected. It's a no win situation and none of us actually come out the winners.

I thought Jen came across as a jerk at times but felt she was at least competent... this one looks lost...

She was a real ballbuster. I loved her. Never even so much what she said, but how she would say it.

In news new to anyone that has a clue, Biden has called 9 mm handguns "high caliber"

Now, they may be fast rounds, but they are NOT 'high caliber'. See, this is what people get worried about when dolts that know nothing start talking guns.

""They said a .22-caliber bullet will lodge in the lung, and we can probably get it out — may be able to get it and save the life. A 9mm bullet blows the lung out of the body," Biden said."

https://www.yahoo.com/news/biden-calls-9mm-high-caliber-193242048.html

Here's the actual interview. Joe's always been ignorant when it comes to firearms, but this caliber nonsense takes it to a new level. He obviously doesn't realize how small a .223 bullet, the round most commonly used in "assault rifles" actually is. If he wants to limit things due to the size of the round, where does that put his 'ol double barrel?

He, or the person that told him to say that, have no clue about guns.
