There is now a new meaning to the chant "Four More Years !"
This type of decline is relentless and as each year goes by
he will become more irrational in things he will say or do.
It will become harder to explain situations to him.
There needs to be a carer appointed.
A carer's job is to make sure he is not manipulated by family or
anyone else and to see he takes his medication.

What the situation is, is now very worrying, someone else is making
the decisions for Biden. They do it by making him think it was his
decision. He will not remember whose idea it was.
In difficult international situations like Gaza who
really is negotiating with Hamas and Israel ?

Hi again AC,

Australia wouldn't win a war with a platoon of cream puffs! It is troubling what are frighting possibilities. Some irony in the fact, like Vietnam should have been from early days, Korea today could be one country, it was the Americans who denied both the Vietnamese and Korean people any possibility of that through a democratic process. Now look at the situation, particularly with North Korea. Same with China and Russia, with the downfall of Maoism and Stalinism the west was presented with a golden opportunity to create goodwill and friendship, but no we wanted it all our own way, and look where we are now.

Lets really consider what's at stake for Americans
and its allies, in November.

Consider the current choice Americans currently have.
A choice between someone (Biden), who's fought for
ordinary folks his entire life and someone (Trump)
who only cares about himself.

The debate didn't change that and that's why there is
so much at stake in November.

Biden didn't have a good night but neither did Trump
with his usual attack tactics, lie after lie, avoidance
of questions, no policies and clearly showing that he's
a threat to the American nation and the world. A man
who will destroy - not defend.

Donald Trump's potential presidency should cause not
only Americans, but all of us around the globe -
far greater discomfort than a Joe Biden debate
performance.

That's worth thinking about.

"All they are showing. yet again, is that they don't give a rat's arse about what the people think."
- And yet you all still champion and believe in democracy?

Remember when we were all like kids and you would hold some other kids arm - probably a sibling or some other younger relative... and make them punch themselves (not hard, but for laughs) and say "Stop punching yourself, why do you keep punching yourself for?"

mhaze, tell me - why do you keep punching yourself?

"For months (years really) the people who should know better, have been saying that Joe is fine, Joe is running things, Joe is on top of the brief, thank God Joe is there. We now know they were lying."
- Umm, derrr. I've been saying his brains melted for at least a year or two.

"why did they allow Joe to go on stage and make such a fool of himself, the office of President and all those who've been telling us lies about his capacity?"

Did you see Jill talk to him like a 5 year old?

'Good boy Joe' [Pat on head]
'Now it's time for your chocolate chip ice cream'

Way back in January I predicted that Michelle would be the candidate. Others here scoffed at my naivety - not scoffing now
- Maybe her or Gavin Newsom

And somehow you don't believe these people stuff everything they touch?

It's time we started making our own way in the world.
The US can't defend us anyway.

I'm not sure it's correct to characterise things that way.
Case in point - Why are record numbers of African Americans voting Trump / Republican?

I told you the answer 6 months or more back and the media is only recently reporting and panicking about it.

The black man is pissed off, for years of being lied to.
He wants payback and retribution against the party that promised him everything, but gave him nothing.

And how best to voice that discontent?
Vote Trump.

And here I was thinking that Trump supporters were
old, white, evangelicals, and white uneducated
(without a college degree) men. Trump loves the
"uneducated."

In any case there's really no excuse for anyone not
to see Trump's complete sociopathy and realize the
threat the man poses to the American nation and the world.
You'd have to be truth deprived and not have the skills
to separate fact from fiction.

All anyone has to do is simply read Trump's own social
media feed to be disgusted. And if they're not -
then they aren't a reasonable human being.

All we can hope for is that the sane outnumber the insane.
So much depends on it.
