There is truly no hope for you  

Fact or opinion?

Agreed, Bundy needs a ban

Trump using his EO on the stimulus as a campaign event...and I'm pretty sure he's using a laugh track.

Also, the EO is illegal as hell.  I hope at least Rand Paul has the balls to call him out on this.  The question is which blue state AG will commit political suicide to challenge him?

I would agree that any spending is to be done through the house.   But politically its smart as hell.  Makes the dems and Pelosi look bad

I'm starting to think this whole business about Kanye running is just another massive Trump troll job.

Apparently Kanye got rejected in IL because 1900 of his 3200 signatures were invalid.  First, I'm shocked it only takes 2500 signatures to get on a ballot.  Second, if Kanye was remotely serious I'm sure a couple volunteers could easily get 2500 signatures in a single afternoon on Michigan Ave. 

And, then, your lawyer walks into the office in Milwaukee minutes after the deadline to file to get on the ballot?  We all know Trumps hires only the best people, but that's too big of a fuck-up not to be intentiontal.  Also, curiously convenient that someone knew who the lawyer was and waiting to take video of him to prove he was late.

Alex Jones-level conspiracy, except this might actually be true.

Again, if you've been around someone who had dementia there's a clear difference between gaffes and getting tongue-tied and declining mental accuity.  Some also become mean, which is something new we've seen from Biden (whereas Trump is the same asshole he's always been) several times now.  There's also the blank stare I've seen several times with Biden where it's like a literal brain freeze.

Trump's not winning any IQ contests, but it's not just right-wingers seeing evidence of mental decline in Biden.

Blah blah blah. I stand by what I said—those giving Biden shit for saying dumb shit completely ignore that Trump says equally dumb shit. Call it dementia, intelligence levels, whatever you want—but they’re both morons  

Also, I spend a lot of time around people with dementia, both within my family and clients at work.

I hope you aren’t equating messing up WW2 for WW1 off the cuff for some of the babbles crap the last few months. If you are then you are grasping at straws here.

Saying something dumb, which Trump did above, is different than completely bumbling over what you are trying to say, going off into complete blank stares, etc.

If you truly do work around dementia patients and were being intellectually honest with yourself, you would see the difference.

Maybe...because Trump does this on a daily basis. I also don't think Trump is on the mental decline. 

I also don't focus on the Biden mental health stuff. I know you have your personal stories and observations. 

Good for you and that is your view. But, I am not one to make a medical judgment about someone when I am not a medical doctor, nor know their own medical history. It seems a stretch. Gaffes are one thing, thinking he has a mental decline is a whole different matter. 

I'll go off of his statements and speeches, which seems hit and miss I will admit. But, so has Trump’s. 

I'm also of the view most voters either don't care or do not think it matters.
