Modern News: "Let's talk about Biden's dementia."

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 58 points 1 month ago

I mean.....Biden does likely have dementia, and it is kind of scary that for a couple years there we had a president who may not have known where he was at times.

That being said, we traded in the guy with a good heart and dementia, for a racist hateful asshole with dementia.

And of the two, it's FAR scarrier that the current dementia president has authorization for nukes.

Biden was never going to nuke. Trump might. And forget the next day that he did.

[-] PyroNeurosis 22 points 1 month ago

We had Reagan before him. Dementia is swiftly becoming a part of the Presidency.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 month ago

much easier to control a president who is barely coherent

[-] jaxxed@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

Bush Jr was a st a natural dummy. No dementia required.

[-] derek@infosec.pub 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Based on... What? Biden has cancer. The convenient narrative that he was diagnosed after he left the White House holds about as much water as no one ever having died at a Disney theme park.

Cancer-fighting drugs do all sorts of whacky shit to bodies and minds. The conspiracy to keep the truth from the public was, I speculate, to avoid the inevitable pressure to have Biden step down and Harris assume the Presidency. Based on Biden's comments I have little doubt this was a selfish decision based on hubris that was championed and enabled by the establishment et al. Not that Harris would've been the People's President but at least she'd have been capable of actually leading.

I don't disagree with you. Neither Biden nor Trump were / are fit for the roles they assumed. The dementia angle was weak Republican propaganda though and repeating it just keeps us further from the truth the public deserves.

Then say he'll clean it up in two weeks.

[-] HenryDorsett@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Nah, he'd hit up a mcdonalds, tweet about it while shitting, THEN claim he has no recollection of the event - which may be true, but that is really not a good thing.

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago
  1. Reagan was much more obviously affected by dementia
  2. Even if Biden is suffering he’s far more coherent than what we have now
[-] Sillyglow@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah the fact he was talking over Kristi noem of all people who even though she is rotted to the core knew for a moment you have to keep up appearances of actually playing nice just to expose just how absolutely racist he is and intending to hurt people says all you need to know of just how bent on evil he is dementia or not.

Like how wretched does one have to be to make her look like the more reasonable person in the room?

He is the embodiment of the fat stupid American stereotype. I truly feel sorry for the decent, intelligent people that live in the USA.

I'm offended! I am not "decent" at all!

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 46 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The biggest takeaway for me with all this ... whenever there is another level of stupidity in American government or the president ... is not how dumb he looks .... but instead about how the entire country just passively accepts it. How the media just rolls over it like it's normal now.

This country is fucked

[-] CircuitSpells@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

The media is explicitly complicit in the rise of authoritarianism. I'd highly recommend the book "manufacturing consent", it should be required reading for all Americans at this point.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

The privately controlled media that manipulated the image of this presidency, downplayed / ignored its failings, exaggerated the contempt for opponents and generally just passively accepted all this insanity as normal is not just complicit but an active participant in the rise and installation of authoritarianism in the US.

It's not an independent media any more ... it's a direct arm of corporate America ... the same corporate America that wants to usher in authoritarianism

[-] alekwithak@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

Right? The press would never have let Biden or Obama forget that gaffe.

[-] thelivefive@startrek.website 7 points 1 month ago

If your "media" is owned by a large corporation or billionaire it's not media but propaganda.

[-] Lon3star@lemmy.world 43 points 1 month ago

Sir, Tim Apple on line 2

[-] peteyestee@feddit.org 35 points 1 month ago

Once you're done fucking with trump remember to keep going down the line. It doesn't end with him.

“Peanut butter TACO time”

[-] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 23 points 1 month ago

All you LIbtRads have TDS because you KNOW Biden Biden BIDEN BIDEN has Dementia!

[-] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

You fucking leave Peanut Butter out of this!

it's the only thing I have left

[-] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 12 points 1 month ago

Tbf, there's a lot of world leaders. I couldn't remember all of their names. Just say the fucking title. "Mr. Prime Minister". That's it. Not the country. Frankly, he should know the prime minister of Japan well enough to remember his name.

[-] gex@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

That would require knowing/remembering that Japan has a prime minister

[-] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 4 points 1 month ago

I mean, most countries have a prime minister and/or a president in power. Even that's a bit to remember. Just for the love of god, fucking google it before you might have to talk about it.

[-] bus_factor@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I wouldn't bet money on Trump being capable of googling things, and he's definitely incapable of admitting he doesn't know something by asking about it.

[-] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 1 points 1 month ago

Of course not. This is just the bare minimum that most anyone can meet.

[-] Ioughttamow@fedia.io 11 points 1 month ago

What a dumb piece of shit

[-] crank0271@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Peanut allergies notwithstanding, peanut butter kills far fewer people by comparison.

[-] supamanc@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Notice how nobody's taking about how it's Americans paying the tarrif though, not Japan?

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Tim Japan, brother to Tim Apple

not even chunky, but buttery smooth

Old enough for the oil to be separating out a little bit

[-] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

Did you say

OIL?

[-] dvoraqs@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

A lotta bit

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

Oh, my god... Fox News has to keep switching the caption to translate "Weave" into English.

[-] wirebeads@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

He still talks about tariffs as if the company in the non U.S. country pays them.

Maybe before rolling out these tariffs, he should understand how the damned things actually work.

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 5 points 1 month ago

He knows and just doesn't care. It's about bullying other countries to make "better trade deals".

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I say shit like that to be funny, but now I feel gross about it.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 month ago

“But I’d rather just send them a letter, a very fair letter, saying, congratulations, whether it will allow you to trade in the United States of America,” Trump told Bartiromo, per RawStory. “You’re going to pay a 25% tariff, or 20% or 40% or 50%. I would rather do that.”

He doesn't understand tariffs, which we already knew, but he keeps proving it. His supporters are dumbass idiots.

[-] ABetterTomorrow@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

More like garbage
