So is there a generic mainstream media that includes the New York Times and the New York Post in your mind - both manipulated by democrats. As others have pointed the New York Post is just one arm of Murdoch media that includes Fox News. The Murdoch family gets what they want and that is normally Republican policy of being pro corporate and wealthy and willing to be influenced by the highest bidder. 

I see Biden struggle here and there but I also see him make some highly intelligent unscripted comments. He's still with it - he's a bit old is all.

Anyway, nice to see that MAGA fans now care about made up stories, That's new! ????

Nothing new about Joe's made-up stuff.

Wow - must be that's old - I can't recall any highly intelligent comments from Biden - even any lowly ones.

I haven't had time to watch news in the last 2 weeks but there was a reasonable example of how he can be unfairly portrayed at the start of September. I mentioned it in a different post.

Fox showed him saying he does not consider any Trump supporter to be a threat to the country. The replacement for Laura Ingraham on Fox had that stupid smile as though, QED, he had proven Biden didn't know what he was saying and contradicted his concern about Trump supporters in a speech the night before.  

 

But straight after that Biden noted that those who voted for Trump in 2020 "and support him now, they weren't voting for attacking the Capitol, they weren't voting for overruling an election."

"They were voting for the philosophy he put forward," Biden said.

"So, I am not talking about anything other than, it is inappropriate -- and it's not only happened here, but other parts of the world -- where there's a failure to recognize and condemn violence whenever it's used for political purposes," he said. "Failure to condemn the attempt to manipulate electoral outcomes. Failure to acknowledge when an election has been won or lost."

Not every Trump supporter threat to nation, Biden says - ABC News (go.com)

 

His ability to give a clear consistent message about Trump helped him win.

 

He is a bit slow at times, and a second term is probably not a good idea, but I think the issues we see are mainly style or a bit of old age over substance.

Memory problems. Are you affected by aging too?

The majority were concerned even before the election but they let their irrational hatred of Trump make them choose Joe. Total mess. 

He called Trump "George" before the election and someone else by his deceased son's name.

H.L. Mencken's classic observation has never seemed so true.

Priceless... so much of what Mencken said and foresaw has become a hideous reality in the USA.

While Charles is off topic, give him a chance. He hasn't even seen his mother buried yet.

It would be fun as it is quite possible that Trump would mess it up. He very likely could not stand that anyone else than him would succeed!

Just can't stop talking about Trump?

BTW that's off topic.

Perhaps they just realised that he won't be a "winner" in '24.

All the GOP would have to do is put a collage of Biden's gaffs on every tv in the country and the opponent would likely be a shoo in, as long as they can say a complete sentence.

Previous test given to POTUS 45 was covered by MSM.  Of course his "Good bye" came later, but not because he did not pass.  5555

"the president of the United States, has insisted that a cognitive test he took recently was “difficult”, using the example of a question in which the patient is asked to remember and repeat five words.

“Person, woman, man, camera, TV,” Trump explained, saying that listing the words in order was worth “extra points”, and that he found the task easy.

 

“They said nobody gets it in order, it’s actually not that easy. But for me it was easy. And that’s not an easy question,”

The look on the interviewer's face was priceless.

 

No wonder his handlers don't like to let him speak without a teleprompter.

 

All the GOP has to do in '24 is put clips of Biden speaking on every tv in the US.

 

Somehow though, I doubt he's going to be the candidate then. Hopefully Kamala.

Isn't that the entire point? Surely he's too old to be a serious contender in '24.

It comes down to two choices.

If Biden runs again and the Republicans put up Trump again Biden will win again. 

 

As things stand now Biden will run again and the Republicans will put up Trump again if he can manage to dodge incarceration.

 

There are many issues. The economy of course but also immigration, Ukraine, China, abortion, LGBT rights, health care, climate, inequality, housing, and probably most importantly democracy vs. autocracy.

You wish it would be that easy for Republicans to win but that's just a pipe dream.

 

Also Biden is a much stronger candidate than Harris. If Biden doesn't run there will be an open democratic  primary.

The first, and only, sensible thing sniffing Joe has said "the pandemic is over". But funny his handlers are quickly saying "what he meant to say....."

The Dems have a whole stable of good candidates to choose from.

 

The Republicans are restricted to Trump (under criminal investigation) and Trump clones who are competing between each other by being as rabidly rightwing as a kool-aid induced frenzy can muster.

 

And if any Republican looks like getting too much attention Trump attacks them.

Even die hard democrats have never said they have a stable of good candidates. Can you share perhaps three of their names? Where were these people just two years ago? 

Personally I think Amy Klobuchar would be the strongest. 

She's much more likeable than Harris who let's face it has turned out to be a DUD, and it really is finally time for the first woman president. 

Yes, not perfect and not progressive enough for the far left, but so what?
