I would accept that as true. What makes an island an island? You can only access Delmarva via bridge over water or a boat.

How so? I jumped into the wacko conspiracy group before the election for entertainment. I said so here. The people are going apeshit about this supporting their "thoughts".
I totally understand a check from the IRS not being signed by the actual president. I mean, I get direct deposit and haven't seen a check from the IRS in close to 10 years.
JFC, Andy! I tried to hijack your thread (Andy7171 style) with a discussion on the hotness of Psaki.

Wait...red hair...I think I get it. Oops!

Sorry. :oops:
Hey now! I get jokes. Eventually.
Psaki, HHHmmmmmmm.
She's a definite yes. I've said yes to much much worse. Sure her face is a bit manish, but have an honest long look at Gisele, Heidi or any super model over 6' tall.
Am I wrong?

I'm fairly certain I have admitted to approving of Hillary in the early 90's. :oops: :lol:

I'm not sure Joe even remembers where his vanity is, let alone his nightstand, or bedroom, etc.
Biden comes across as way more in command of his faculties. I continue to shake my head at people questioning Biden's mental acuity when the alternative was Trump; who was literally assessed as having the vocabulary of an 8 year old and was just a TOTAL embarrassment practically every time he tried to put a sentence together.

Whoa. Your Trump comment aside - Biden is a forgetful grandpa. I'm glad Trump isn't POTUS, but let's not pretend that Biden isn't an old man who stutters, spaces out and acts like a old man. Let's be honest here.

Trump is an idiot.

Biden is what you said at times. (He’s deteriorated less than I thought he would a year ago)

Both statements can be true.

Reagan was both and a really bad dude throughout his life. Yet he’s a hero to some.

It's what we get. We put up 2 old ass men in varying stages of mental and physical decline. We shouldn't be surprised.

There are definitely similarities between Biden and Reagan's mental acuity. IMO, Reagan had a stronger vision and personality so that his influence within his administration was greater then Biden's despite his mental lapses.

As far as Reagan being a "really bad dude throughout his live" and still being "a hero to some", the same could be said for Bill Clinton and JFK. Clinton's slide from grace had more to do with his usefulness to the cause then his bad behavior.

TDS rearing its ugly head. Trump has 0.0 to do with Biden's acuity. I continue to shake my head at people who ignore Biden's cognitive loss.

I mean, c'mon, you know the thing.

No disagreement here. Reagan was a masterful actor in his old age.

Hey, I just call 'em as I see 'em. I voted for Joe (really was voting against Donald), but I did so fully aware of the fact that his better days, which let's be honest weren't all that great to begin with, are way beyond him. I didn't think he'd be able to finish out his first term and nothing I've seen or heard has changed my mind on that. Heck, at this point I think it would be an accomplishment to still be in office for his one year anniversary of taking the oath. He's even looking older than he his, which is saying something considering that he's not young.

True dat, and we had to interfere in the Democrat primary to avoid putting up an old man who is sharper than both of them mentally and physically.

However its still an enormous false equivalency - Trump is so much worse than even a hack like Biden that its like comparing the droppings of Ratatosk to the Hope Diamond. :coffee:


One thing in Biden's favor is that he's been around forever and understands that there is a bigger picture than shaking down charities that are
supposedly for the benefit of sick children and wounded veterans and billing the taxpayers for his endless rounds of golf
