Coal-fired eel? Is that how they cook it in China?





You usually do.

Are you really as simple minded as your posts would lead one to believe

Lols…

100% serious question: Is it just me that finds it impossible to watch Biden talk and have no confidence in him getting though a basic sentence without him having to slow down and gather his thoughts, or force himself to concentrate harder on the teleprompter if one's in use?

I've got no dog in the fight and no interest in American politics (and why would I as I'm not American) but watching news and current affairs programs from around the world, it's always been impossible to not see American Presidents and other world leaders giving interviews and speeches and whatnot. Guys like Obama and Bill Clinton use to impress me, they were fantastic public speakers and oozed an air of both confidence and intelligence when they spoke. Unlike Biden.

I get it that he's a better choice than Trump but it's not like the bar was set high, Ronald McDonald with the Hamburgler as his running mate would have been a better choice too from what I saw, but that doesnt change the fact that I'm finding it impossible to look at him and think Holy hell this guy's switched on. Just the opposite.

Just me?

Not just you

He's hardly addressing you with that question as your opinion is obvious. You're as much an anti-Biden bigot as many here are anti-Trump bigots.

It is painful at times . . . luckily he's still being compared to Trump and comes out of it far better than he should. No shame in being his age, but he should know his limits . . . luckily he has stopped 'running' up to podiums, that was also cringeworthy

I basically just don't even listen to him tbh.

It's enough for me that whatever or however he's saying it that it's still better than having that "Yo-semite Thighland Hamberders Motang Herd mentality Nars Super-duper hydrosonic Covfefe Person TV Man Camera I’m under levered!" lunatic and wannabe despot with his tiny fingers on the button.

Hard to avoid it, more so when cooking breakfast with the TV on in the background! I watch morning news from 3 different countries (none of them being America) and the brief talk Biden did this morning on why his party lost some election yesterday is on all of them, along with the finding of that little girl in Oz. He clearly has trouble putting a coherent sentence together and even with notes to look down at to keep him on track, stumbles all over the place trying to say whatever it is he's trying to say. If this was a Doctor trying to explain to me some serious condition I've got, I'd get another Doctor! Hence my post earlier.

Yeah I get what you're saying, he's very far from inspiring that's for sure.

How good is that Cleo Smith story though aye!

I mean not good obviously but somewhat miraculous she was found alive and unharmed. Usually not the case in 99.99% of these things.

^ To be honest I thought she'd never be seen again, no shortages of places to bury someone that will never be found in West Australia. Couldn't be happier with the outcome, cannot even begin to imagine what she and her parents must have gone through.

From what I've gathered Biden has had a life long issue with stuttering. Growing up with a brother with the same issue I'm sympathetic to Biden's speaking issues.

Unfortunately we don't know that yet . . . what was this creep doing with her for two weeks?

Stuttering is something I fully understand, I don't think there'd be too many of us that haven't know someone well with some form of speech impediment.

Big difference to clearly losing your train of thought mid sentence regularly, and stammering while trying to remember what it was you were trying to say while hoping someone in the room jogs your memory with a word or two that snaps you back into reality. And the Cornholio/jet pack pilot stance thing recently, what the actual fuck was that all about?

555 I don't know. I must have missed that.

Read somewhere that for some elderly who are struggling in a situation — it's like they are trying to "grip reality".

Good god, you are fucking cancer of stupidity. Will you please fuck off...

What’s your excuse?

Fuck me that is trippy. Looking back on that vid @norts. Crazy how time flies.

Hey Mr. Trash Talker:

What did you think of what Axlerod has to say — pretty much the same as I was saying before the Virgina results came in?

---------------

DAVID AXELROD: They only have one-term governors in Virginia. I was struck the other day. Kamala Harris came in to campaign for him. She said the question in this campaign is whether we will move forward and whether we will move back. And she is standing next to a guy who was governor some time back. It seemed like a discordant message.

But I want to make a point about the messages and how they're going to be read of this election. David Chalian talked earlier about 53% of the voters saying that the Democratic party is too liberal and Youngkin winning 75% of that vote. They each got equal numbers of votes or percentages of the votes from Republicans and Democrats, and Republicans and Democrats voted almost equal numbers. But independents broke nine points in favor of Youngkin. And that proved to be devastating.

Just remember that Joe Biden, I think, won independents said by 18 points ten years ago. So that is a real concern.

One of the questions I have is if you are a Democrat on Capitol Hill and you are from a swing district in suburban areas, are you rethinking tonight your vote on this reconciliation package. Are you thinking, maybe the best you shouldn't do it. If I were sitting in the White House or the leadership of the Democratic councils in Congress, I would be worried about it. I'd be trying to firm these people up. I know how this goes, I've experienced it. I know when things go badly, people begin to think of themselves.

Absolutely a concern for Dems especially given the growth in the number of independents.

It was due to a low dem turnout. This is a good thing. They will be reminded that they have to vote in the election that counts next year.

as axelrod says, the turnout was equal between the 2 parties — it was the independents:

Youngkin campaigned massively on the racist dog-whistle of CRT and "Election fraud". CRT isn’t even taught in schools, the majority of people angry about it don't actually understand what it is, and Trump didn't lose because of Election fraud.

Both are performative theater for a party without policy and Youngkin was able to feed the lies directly to his base through a right-wing media machine that ceaselessly amplified his garbage.

That's the GOP today--an anti-democracy party focused of spreading lies to credulous morons.
