Trump's dementia riddled speech yesterday

[NatMorton]

This subjective opinion can be easily dismissed.

By those who don't take the time to think about it, yes.

 

[NatMorton]

Did he fall asleep at funerals? How about in court? Did he "Hate Taylor Swift"?

Are you trying to make the argument that Joe Biden wasn't cognitively impaired by the last year of his term? (if not earlier?)

Who did Trump try to extort yesterday?

Even as his mind goes he'll still do that.

 

[Michael Cole]

By those who don't take the time to think about it, yes.

The difference between subjectivity and objectivity doesn't take any thought. Not for me, anyway. YMMV.

I missed the change in Presidents. Biden is back in the WH "running" things?

 

[Bullseye]

OK, maybe it was just really bad lies, but to me, it sounds like some deluded, demented old man who is losing his grip with reality.

Like this one:



Woah, we have 340 million people, but we have 2 billion family farms?

Where are they?

Oh, here's a good one, where Grandpa Ranty tosses out an antisemitic slur from yesteryear:



He did say at one time he only wanted Jews counting his money...

But wait, there's more!

Angry Donald hates you Democrats! The only reason your don't like the BUB is you hate Trump!



Of course, a Trump speech would not be complete unless he talked about some fake poll no one heard of.



Hey Jake Tapper, where you at buddy?

Looks more like an ad lib speech.

I don't know much about Ice Cube Mamdani's political skills, but in all seriousness he seems to have all the raw talent that's needed to be a national figure. It's his thinking that's the problem.

It's a regrettable reality in politics that personality ALWAYS trumps policy.

I'm not making that argument at this time. I am pointing out the behaviors of Trump which far exceed any seen by Biden.

Did 2017 signal a failure of Obama’s time in office? No, the pendulum swings in both directions.

And who’s the Democrat’s star heading into 2028, Newsom? Much can change in 3 years, but the Democrats are still searching for someone who can win enough moderate voters.

That's actually what your side said at the time. Remember the obsession your ilk had with "erasing" his legacy?

And who do the republicans have for 2028? J.D. Vance? LOL. There's a reason why Bannon and the gang want to run an 82 year old Trump again...

My side is my own, and I did not say that at the time.

If you're asking me if both Democrat and Republican partisans can be foolish enough to shout "The other party is now dead!" after a big win, my answer is yes, both groups of yahoos make that mistake after their side wins in a landslide.

And who do the republicans have for 2028? J.D. Vance? LOL. There's a reason why Bannon and the gang want to run an 82 year old Trump again...

Well, "your side" just lost to arguably the most flawed major party nominee in the history of Presidential races ... again. So perhaps you should be worrying more about the Democrats getting their house in order before 2028.

The GOP establishment lost to him 3 times. Trump, a T.V. Gameshow host with no political or government experience, literally has taken over your party with instant ease. So, maybe the Democrats have lost to him twice, which is bad, but the GOP lost their entire political party and identity to him, which is way worse.

BTW, 2024 was no landslide.

No, it's not as bad. Only a subset of the Republican party was against him, but they lost to the majority of Republicans who wanted him.

The Democrats, however, lost to him twice with 100% opposition to Trump in their party.

More to the point, twice you weren't able to convince enough moderates and swing voters that you candidate was better than Trump. That's how bad your candidates were. Ouch.

False. The entire GOP establishment was against him in 2016, and also in 2024 (they only got behind him in 2020 because he was their president at the time), and still lost, and lost badly. Your entire political party and ideology now revolves around a T.V. Gameshow host and his radicals handlers, although Musk and Peter Thiel are going to attempt to take away his power over the GOP from him. Whether or not that is successful will remain to be seen.

The Democrats, however, lost to him twice with 100% opposition to Trump in their party.

They also defeated him once when he was on the ballot, won the house from him, the senate, and have dominated special elections since. Where as the MAGA endorsed candidates always defeat the establishment GOP candidates in primaries now.

More to the point, twice you weren't able to convince enough moderates and swing voters that you candidate was better than Trump. That's how bad your candidates were. Ouch.

Moderates voted for Harris over Trump in 2024. He won because he maximized support among his base, many of them who didn't vote for the GOP downballot or in the senate, and who don't turn out to vote at all when he's not on the ballot. Ouch!
