what's baffling to me is everyone pretending like this is a new problem. dude was clearly going senile in the primary debates 4 years ago.

Libs for the past 4 years whenever it was brought up: not-listening

yeah.. once the media stops propping him up, then the libs have to turn around and act like they've been saying it all along too which is the really maddening part of it all

[–] cosecantphi@hexbear.net 37 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I think a lot of libs have been saying it all along, actually. It's just that those types usually follow up with "BUT I'D STILL VOTE BLUE IF HE WAS A ROTTING CORPSE THAT RECENTLY DIED OF BUBONIC PLAGUE AS LONG AS THE CORPSE ISN'T TRUMP"

So what is the FUNNIEST outcome right now?

It used to be Biden winning the electoral vote but losing the popular vote.

Now I think it is Biden staying in to the last moment, then the party selecting Hillary Clinton as the Dem nominee and Hillary losing to Trump.

[–] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 35 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Idk, if they swear you in on a second term, I'd like to see him stumble through it. Live, uncut, has to repeat basic words. It'd be pretty amazing to watch him fuck it up.

[–] ped_xing@hexbear.net 49 points 4 months ago (2 children)

He'll motion for Roberts to just keep reading, Roberts will awkwardly acquiesce, Biden will say "I do" at the end and will turn to kiss somebody who isn't there.

Everything since the debate has felt like it should be the straw that breaks the camel's back, but nothing fucking happens. Please just give us Kamala losing 45 states, it'd be so goddamn funny.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 49 points 4 months ago (2 children)

It could have been worse. He could have called Zelensky "Mr. Hitler".

This is the point when my Russiagate-poisoned parents lost all hope for him.

Edit: Now my mother is going to pray for him at Mass to see if that cures him.

[–] supafuzz@hexbear.net 73 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Tell her I'm going to pray that he keeps getting worse and we'll just see who God loves more

[–] Red_Sunshine_Over_Florida@hexbear.net 34 points 4 months ago (3 children)

That's just going to make her light a candle or something to up her game.

I keep saying he's the accelerationist choice this time around and he keeps showing I'm right.

[–] KobaCumTribute@hexbear.net 48 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

All the choices are the accelerationist choice. It's 3 brain damaged old men crowded into the driver seat, each kicking wildly at the pedal and slapping each other like a 3 stooges gag because they want to be the one to make the car go vroom, with a shared iron grip on the wheel locking the course right towards a cliff and insisting that that's ok, because they're confident the car can fly.

None of them seem to notice that they're at the bottom of the cliff and that that wall is racing towards them.

Must be kinda galling to be living in Yemen or Syria, subject to harsh conditions at the behest of US power, and then look over and see that it's all at the fingertips of this utter clownshow.

Biden the multipolarity bro

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 41 points 4 months ago (1 children)

And that was scripted Biden. He was reading from a teleprompter in a set-piece event, which has, for the most part, been a manageable task for the president. In about an hour, he will have to go off-script – answering questions from reporters in what is, even in the best of times, a chaotic setting.

It didn't stand out to me when I watched the video that he was reading from a teleprompter. How the fuck. I don't know if the other wrong names he has used were also in teleprompter speeches, but normally his mistake with those is just saying the cues out loud.

First libs were attacking the media. Now they are attacking individual reporters doing their jobs as best they can.

there's something jarring about a reporter reading a prepared question from a notepad while the entire press corps obsesses about Biden's extemporaneous speaking abilities

Jeff Tiedrich on Bluesky ~1h ago

dear media

for fuck's sake, don't waste everyone's time by asking Joe Biden if he feels he can do the job, or if he plans to drop out. you already know the answer. ask substantive questions about policy and see what kind of answers you get. that's how you'll really find out if Biden can still lead.

Yo I gotta hand it to him, that's a way funnier bit than I'd have come up with regarding Ukraine. Fuck it, Zelensky is Putin now. Who's in charge of Ukraine? That Putin fellow. Not that one, the other one. You know the one. brandon

He corrected himself a second and a half later, but this was still pretty funny.

There's more copium in that thread. Try to laugh it off, libs. His brain is dying in real time. And (within minutes?) - he'll be speaking off-script. Good luck to the Old Fuck - he's really, really gonna need it.
