The issue is that the man with the keys to a nuclear arsenal has such poor judgement in filling key positions. No other president has had so many staffers thrown in jail, many pleading guilty, and his own family unable to get security clearances. The quality of those advising him now shows that the smarter rats have already left the sinking ship. The only issue remaining is how much harm he causes on the way out the door.

Well I’m pretty sure now that my thought that Team Trump would roll over was wrong. One thing I didn’t consider was that I was basing this on believing that they knew that their claims were baseless, manufactured or weak. What if, whether or not they are true, they truly believe these claims? I think all those (including me) were treating as if it was deliberate lies. The longer they go, the more I think they believe. The more they believe, the more I start to wonder, what if they could even remotely possible thatt was orchestrated??

What a movie it would make. Start with the most hated and most loved president ever.
A president who lies more than any in history.
Opposing party who hate him so much they would probably accept any act as necessary to remove him, their TDS removing any feelings of overall wrongdoing.
Add a civil unrest with BLM poorly handled, a poorly handled pandemic, with a President promising the vaccine is “newly here”, but everyone and the media doesn’t believe him, the drug companies are silent.
Everyone knew the handful of states that were critical in advance. It was a perfect setting for knowing after election night how many “postal votes” they needed to find.
Just days after the result looks like going in the oppositions favour two vaccines are announced as effective.

I still believe conspiracies by their nature are impossible to keep secret, but this is becoming more fascinating.

Whatever happens, this will forever be as big as who killed JFK.

.[/QUOTE]
The civil unrest and BLM was a clever manipulation you are dammed if you do and dammed if you don't, with trying to control it. With the Pandemic name me one big western country that has a handle on it, it was well entrenched in most large counrty's before they knew it, probably months before, Aussie and NZ are easily cut off islands which was our saving grace. I dought Joe would have done much better if he had been in power. Look at the amounts of flights from China to say New York, basically a fire hose of Covid spraying into NY that tap was never going to be shut off in a hurry before it was to late, not to mention every one living on top of each other like most big city's. We can all say yep he could have done better but no ones come up yet with what works, total lock down is not working to flash in England.

There's lots of idiots out there, on both the right and left; let's not put ideas in their heads. Time will prove that Trump was a bigger bag of gas than the Hindenburg and his fate will not be as spectacular, going out not with a bang but a whimper.

Why should I look it up? You made the statement, do what others do, back it up with a link!

Trumpism 101.

Lie, if someone questions it, repeat over and over again. And if illusory truth effect doesn't work, ask them to prove your statement was incorrect.

Claim - "Trump paid someone to make up his IQ results". The responsibility is on you to prove I'm wrong

Well, for what it's worth, it may appear that he's never actually been tested and nor have any of the other ex-Presidents who appeared on the chart (most likely 'cause dead people don't have much of an IQ rating). It was a hypothetical exercise carried out UCLA in 2016 which somehow became fact over time...

Who cares Marty this is about the Cult, no one cares about Biden.

Trump is a “Malignant Narcissist” and a Sociopath.

Look that up Marty, and learn about your Cult leader 👍

He's not my cult leader, I'm Australian. But your determination to push TDS problems seems like you need to have a cult leader to lead you out of the forest. Perhaps join the scouts?
At least then you'll get to sit around a campfire, toasting marshmallows and sing kumbya with your "scout" friends.

That's enough from the both of you. I know it would not only be me, but I don't log onto AFF to read the both of you take pot shots at each other.

If you want to continue, take it to PM.

there is no potential for Biden he has dementia.. The lefts vision is for the US to be run by a group of technocrats behind a figurehead.

Its been done before in a lot of places but we have about 500 million loose firearms so it could get exciting

I know modestly well, half a dozen people with dementia; it’s a consequence of caring full-time for one of them. Their abilities range from living more or less independently through incontinent and incoherent. I’ll assert that through this level of “immersion” my insight may have some qualification.

I haven’t seen anything in news footage that suggests Mr Biden actually has dementia. His fine motor skills appear very consistent, you don’t see even fleeting frustration with a physical action. His gait and posture look pretty good for his age, too. Issues with speech (such as oft-cited “gaffes”) are more likely the result of cumulative brain injuries, but can be completely isolated from cognitive ability.

Reagan is praised on one of America's great Presidents and he had dementia - what say you now? Oh, Hang On Reagan was a Republican like Trump

Biden stutters, its been publicised, not a secret. I don't know much about the condition apart from what I saw on The King's Speech. I imagine it would take a bit of mental guts to run for presidency with the condition, knowing the whole world hangs on every word coming out of your mouth.

Part of any political strategy in an election is to make your opponent look bad. It has to be a bit credible but remember this is politics so facts are not important. The main thing is to keep repeating the same message. Eventually many will start to believe it.
Biden got the dementia label, Trump got narcissistic sociopath, Obama got kenyan muslim and so on. It's just tactics.
