    Man, he seems to be in pretty serious decline. I mean his record is decent and is obviously a better choice than any current republican, but as a figurehead he's far from inspiring at this point and should probably be stepping away from politics for the good of his overall health

    The DNC must be worried because they just announced no primary debates. RFK Jr. must really scare them.

    Do sitting presidents normally participate in primary debates when they run for re-election? I don't recall Trump or Obama or Bush doing so. :chris:

    Please. There are more Kennedy brains splattered over the back seat of a car than in his head.

    I know that - because you're unable to form a coherent argument - you need to think a stutter makes someone else mentally inferior. But the reality is that a toddler smearing shit on the walls expresses themselves better than you can, so a stutter is a fucking Shakespearean soliloquy by comparison.

    I've never heard Joe Biden stutter, not once. This is a poor excuse. He does say things like,"let's go lick the world." That's not a stutter, that dementia creeping in. He's constantly saying things like this. He finishes speeches with him aimlessly wandering and his handlers have to help him and tell him where to go. He has an earpiece with people telling him what to do and where to walk like he's in a nursing home. None of that has anything to do with a stutter, you're just giving him a pass because of your bias. Everyone can see this, but people like you keep coming up with this stutter excuse as if we're that dumb to believe it. Sorry, sell your snake oil somewhere else.

    There's issues with Biden that go way beyond a stutter and they're getting more pronounced, unfortunately

    I didn’t say fuck Bernie. I think he means well, but he’s a sellout. He also got screwed over by the DNC. Both can be true.

    So you admit it was a pretense.
    Thanks, that saved me having to pull teeth with you for 5 pages.
    Stay on this honesty streak.

    Yes, when you yourself were the one who started bringing up vaccines and mask mandates as an example of how you thinking you should be able to force your neighbour to be pregnant as nothing bad.

    Jesus Christ.

    Not everybody with a stutter does the stereotypical "say the first syllable of a word five or six times before it finally comes out" thing. Many do, but many do not, especially if they have developed coping mechanisms.

    Joe Biden used to -- as a kid, one of his teachers mocked him by calling him "Mr. Buh-buh-buh-Biden" and his mother raised holy hell -- but he developed mechanisms for dealing with it, one of which is the circumlocution that results in odd sentence structures or word choices.

    More info, from a person with a stutter, on the off-chance that you're interested in actually learning something about another person's experiences:

    His policies aside, Biden is a terrible speaker to listen to. It is one thing if he is the technical guy with knowledge, but one part of his job, and a pretty big part of a head of state's job, is to give inspiring speeches. I do not like Trump, but he performs well for his low intelligence audience and gets them amped up. He may be spouting bullshit, but he has a style that is better than Biden.

    If Biden had technical knowledge I would listen to him, but he is the figurehead presenter of more intelligent people's ideas.

    I am tired of this shit where anyone can be president. We saw with trump what giving a corrupt idiot a chance gets us. I want a person who can speak, is not elderly, is not a fucking moron, and can handle their own. Enough of this bullshit. We can deal with a handicapped legislator or judge. The president is a leader representing our country. Biden is an old feeble bore.

    There are better people for the job and the only reason we have Biden again is the Dems are corrupt and awful. If you cannot find better than Biden, then I am not voting for your shit. For all the Biden Bros, yes that also includes not voting for Trump. I am not Federal Fuckup who thinks Biden is awful and then votes for Trump and lies about it because he knows trump sucks too.

    Good news for the Biden Bros. In order to incentivize loaning money to people with bad credit he is making a rule that people with good credit who make large down payments pay more bank fees while those with bad credit take advantage of that by paying smaller fees. First this gives incentives to banks to underwrite more loans to people with good credit because they will get more income from it. The problem with that is it does not take into account income and ability to pay the loan because that is not figured into the credit score. On the back end it also makes it easier for people with bad credit to open up a home loan while still paying higher fees to the banks. So now you can push some loans on people with bad credit with a lower bar to enter.

    Biden is selling this as a way to have rich people pay for the risks for poor people which are why the fees are there, but really this is a push to get more people to enter into loans without focussing on whether or not they can afford them.



    This is an interesting new way to push new home purchases and inflate a new housing bubble. What is really nice is any protections from our last housing bubble disaster have been eroded by our corrupt dems and reps. They both are the same when it comes to bank regulations, and Biden is king shit of let the banks go do what they will with credit because he will bail them out with our tax money like he did last time under Obama.

    But tell me again how Biden is not as bad as Trump who could not have figured this shit out with any of his dimwitted con artists. Here we go again with Bush andClinton government corruption.

    How many times can I say that Trump did not put america where it is. He did not fuck things up. Joe Biden is the king of ripping you the fuck off and has made a career out of it. He is worse than Trump and has been destroying america for decades. Primary this bastard.

    I will not vote for Biden because he is worse than trump because he is better at helping the bankers gang bang us. Oh, and I have a shit credit rating and lots of access to money so this is great for me if I want to capitalize on a housing bubble and make a few hundred grand.
