    You think they can count on Geriatric Joe? Even if Trump doesn’t win the American government is a ship without a captain.

      As someone not from the US… hell yes Old Joe is reliable as fuck. It’s the Congress that’s willing to sabotage US interests to sabotage Biden that’s the problem. And a lot of that stems from Trump.

      A Trump presidency means having a captain steering the ship directly at an iceberg. A Biden Presidency means having a guy that’s almost as old as the sea itself trying to keep the ship going while Trump and his lackeys are drilling holes into the hull.

        Old Joe literally got a court to say that he can’t be charged because he’s a dementing old man.

        3 days ago:

        The special counsel’s report said that it would be difficult to convict the president of improper handling of files because “at trial, Mr Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory”.

        “It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him - by then a former president well into his 80s of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.”

        Mr Hur’s report also said Mr Biden’s memory seemed to have “significant limitations” during interviews. He could not recall when he was vice-president (from 2009-2017), or “even within several years, when his son Beau died” (2015), the investigation said.

      You act like Trump isn’t also old as fuck and sundowning. Dude babbles and slurs his speech in ways he didn’t when he was 60. Watch a video of Trump being interviewed by Letterman or Leno or whomever from a couple decades ago. He’s never been smart or eloquent but he wasn’t incoherent and angry (like dementia patients often get).

      I really don’t get how people think Biden is senile but Trump isn’t. Pundits are debating whether Biden’s age is a bigger issue than Trump’s indictments and it’s like, “Trump is lost and babbling in court! The judges keep having to tell him to shut the fuck up!”
