So, your comment about junior associates was false.

“I was very happy to answer questions… happy to discuss my public service.” And when asked if there was a cover-up:
“Absolutely not.” - Tanden

Tanden’s statements describe routine administrative delegation, not evidence of a shadow presidency or cognitive unfitness. She said under oath that all procedures followed known policies. There was no health-related concealment. She operated within a clear chain of command. There’s simply no smoking gun in her words; just standard White House staffing protocols at work.

I agree Biden’s performance in the debate showed cognitive slowness, and probably some decline. How much? I dunno. I also think it was a huge mistake to run for a second term, and I thought the Democrats should’ve held a Primary. The Democrats and their internal politics suck major ass. So, if that’s any indication what I thought of Biden’s mental fitness I’ll leave it at that.

Trump was included along with others presidents. They all used autopen.

It's ok to admit that perhaps the democrats hid his cognitive disabilities, just saying. Hurr seemed to think there was something that justified a declination of prosecution. Tapper has his exclusive. Also, let's see what happens with the current investigation. My hope is that people don't fall for the party political BS like those that support Trump in his Iran bombings and those that want to defend a certain someone that probably should have been allowed to retire in peace. It seems obvious that cognitive decline became part of the democratic party, at least in some circles.

I think there’s a big difference between healthy skepticism and running with vague insinuations.
  1. The claim that "Democrats hid his cognitive disabilities" is speculation. Is there a diagnosis? A whistleblower testimony? All we have are cherry-picked quotes, heavily editorialized reports, and partisan spin.
  2. The Hurr report didn’t find Biden medically unfit; he stated a subjective comment about Biden’s memory.
  3. In Tapper Biden gave multiple coherent and policy-detailed interviews both before and after. So… ?
If you’re concerned about cognitive decline in politics, that’s valid. But let’s apply the standard evenly, and let’s let the facts determine whether someone or something is being hidden, manipulated, or simply aging in public.

How can we blame this on Joe Biden’s senility?

Of course you can't but he might have been out of commission during his presidency and that has nothing to do with correct policy and correct principle.

“He might have been …” isn’t an awesome standard upon which to base your testimonkey. Do you have anything, anything else, that proves that assertion?

Again, it was obvious to me Biden had aged himself out of the job. But just because someone slows down doesn’t mean they’re not doing the job. To put it in more palatable terms for you, Trump spent one in three days at the links in his first term, and one in four days this term. You think he’s signing everything, or is aware of everything his people are signing?

Your disdain for Trump is the reason progressives will struggle to win future elections, as you continually offer absurd justifications. Only those with a progressive mindset, like yourself, could be so misinformed as to think that Trump isn't a workaholic. Regardless of your stance on Trump, he is constantly active, frequently in front of a camera articulating his plans, and places great importance on transparency in the presidency. His philosophy sharply contrasts with Biden's tendency to avoid interviews and rarely engage with the press. So who really cares if he's on the golf course? He's not hiding like Biden did during his presidency.

Moreover, it is evident from your perspective that you have not experienced being a true business owner or a manager of a business that operates independently of government funding. I suspect you either had a role with a local municipality, the state, or more likely, you served in the military. Your manner of speaking and perspective on life suggest that you have consistently enjoyed the security of a steady paycheck every two weeks, with taxes deducted by your employer, health insurance provided, and investment matching likely throughout your entire life. Essentially, you are someone who relies on support without having to engage in the process of creating or producing, as all your work has been predetermined by those in more authoritative roles.

That is precisely the reason you fail to grasp Trump's perspective. He possesses a mindset that enables him to create and innovate, whereas your mindset only permits you to consume. To put it differently, you tend to follow rather than lead.

You're jealous!

One of the brilliant little things in the bill is some of the biggest and most damaging cuts are set to occur after midterms. So, if/when there's the standard midterm legislative party shift, MAGA will get to blame all of the bad stuff that starts happening on Democrats.

Naturally, the cult base will uncritically eat it up, and readily run to their favorite outrage porn meme outlets to signal their tribal loyalty.

I'll see if I can find the poll, but there was a recent poll where people were asked if they supported the bill, and then follow-up questions on what is in the bill. Overwhelmingly, the 30-ish percent of Americans who support Trump's bill couldn't name a single aspect of it, whereas people who opposed the bill were able to name at least several components.

Yep!

Absurd with generous amounts of ridiculousness.

TDS is the best explanation, in my opinion.

People being deranged enough to support Trump is definitely the best explanation for the current woes in the USA.

Here’s yet another example of, “If Biden had done this thing” with Dump:

https://www.reddit.com/r/thescoop/comme ... _how_long/

Asked about how long detainees will be concentrated in a camp in the Everglades before his Administration can relocate them as part of his final migrant solution, Dump rambles on about how much time he spends in Florida. Not that this will make a difference to the Unreachables, because none of their criticisms about other have anything to do with actual governance.
