People say the same shit when the powerball/mega millions get stupidly high. I just say yup and move on to something else. People are fucking stupid.

To be fair,  I would have rather gotten a check for $1.53 from Bloomberg than listened to his ads.

To be fair, in Bernie's economy there's hardly any difference between that and $1M.

Like, they're just fucking with us, right?

You expect to read this on Twitter.  You don't expect the news to parrot it AND NOT CATCH THE HILARIOUS MISTAKE.

This is elementary school math.  Cancelling out the zeros in multiplication problems is something we learned in like 4th grade.  Fuck's sake.

Equal sharing of misery.  Isn't that the phrase?

Or very, very small.  Depends on how you're looking at it.

On the contrary, I think most of us EXPECT it from our modern media.

Oh man, the Biden video of him confronting an auto worker in Michigan on gun control. Calls him full of shit, calls the gun an AR-14, and then says it holds 100 rounds. I'd like to know if anyone out there actually believes that Biden is NOT losing it. It is pretty clear, especially compared to his interviews in 2016, that something is not right. Going to be interesting how this plays out.

His camp won't let him do interviews. They won't let him go off teleprompter.  And even on teleprompter he fuckers it up. Ain't no way there hasn't been serious cognitive decline.

They want him elected so he can resign and let his VP take over.  He will just be an empty suit in the oval office.  Lobbyist and Dems like Pelosi will be running everything.

I saw that and the rest of the clip where he actually engaged the guy and called it an AR-15. He actually went back and forth with the guy on the need of a semi auto vs. a shotgun/ standard rifle. He actually confronted the guy and told him don't be an ass and and let's talk. 

I didn't take that he was slipping at all. I actually took it as he actual dialogue and debate about an issue. Give him credit for actually talking to people instead of just being whisked away and told not to say anything.

I can give him credit for it, but I'm not sure it's the right play.  This particular incident aside, it does seem like there's been some decline.  He's making GWB look sharp and sober.

His aide even tried to save him and he told her to SHUSH lmao. If an autoworker irks Biden that badly, he's going to lose it on stage with orange man if prompted to get off script.

I watched the whole video too, and I am not sure how you can even spin it to this level.  The whole thing was uncomfortable.  Biden sounded drunk the entire time.  It was like watching two friends get into an argument and everyone else at the party was uncomfortable watching.  We have all been there before.  If everyone wants to play it off with "yeah, but lol AS IF Trump would do better" fine, but let's not try to pretend Biden is bringing back normalcy to the office lmao.  It's going to be fun watching the media spin Trump as the unhinged one when Biden is doing shit like this and challenging everyone to push up contests. 
 

Edit: Btw he 100% lost that argument.  He sounded like most idiots who defend gun control measures and try to argue with people who are very passionate and/or knowledge about guns and the 2A.

Joe Biden thinks the 2nd Amendment is about hunting.

And then drunkenly sprinkles in the "yelling fire in a theater" argument.  This is all tutorial level shit.  

Btw, how can you even try to say he isn't taking guns away when just a week ago he said he would put Beto in charge of it?

Because he, like all other politicians, are full of absolute shit.

Well, he also thinks a shotgun is easier to shoot than an AR-15 for home defense.  Tell that to someone who weighs 115 pounds.  The AR-15 mitigates kick really well.  A 12-gauge will throw them on their ass.

Apparently, he also thinks an AR holds a hundred rounds of ammo.  I'd love to hear him even define "semi-automatic."  Seems like a lot of the anti-gun politicians use "semi-automatic" and "automatic" interchangeably.

He's just getting too cognitively diminished to hide it effectively.

He also word for word on Anderson Cooper said he would come for your guns if you have an assault weapon (which isn’t a real thing). He’s completely full of shit and senile. 

Ptown, regardless of this video, do you really not think there has been a cognitive decline in his behavior and memory?
