        I don’t like the guy as much as the next but isn’t it common knowledge Trump never fucked with drugs or alcohol? Or am I missing what you’re referring to by spent the 80’s?

            I remember hearing this, but I don’t remember the source cuz it didn’t matter to me honestly. I do think he was at least publicly straight edge. As someone with addiction issues who has spent time with lots of addicts - meth included - he doesn’t seem to have been a meth addict. He’s still a piece of shit. But let’s be honest.

          He didn’t fuck with alcohol, but that man was on the nose candy as much as any 1980s New York Business Guy.

            He’s boomer methed out: Trump isn’t partying in the strict sense of the word, but his doctor and handlers seem to have him on all sorts of dangerous levels of shit given how jumpy he is. A lot of our parents who were medicated like this didn’t see themselves as having a problem since having it medically prescribed is viewed as legit treatment

            I hate to make yet another Hitler reference with him but Hitler was the same: he didn’t partake in “recreational” use but dude’ doctor had him fucked out of his mind on cocaine and opiates in the 40s but he also famously didn’t drink

          Trump literally invented crack cocaine personally in his basement lab in his free time while he mapped the human genome singlehandedly.

      given how much difficulty trump is having sitting for more than half an hour in a courtroom I very much doubt he’s as fit as Bicycle Joe

      You could say the same of Sanders. They’re all old dudes.

      But there’s a certain “will be fight for me?” attitude. And Trump’s a cranky cantankerous piece of shit who fights with everyone, while Biden seems content to let the White House run itself.

      Trump’s personification of the Angry Elderly Racist American generates more passion for his campaign than Biden’s “Hey, man, why can’t we all just sit back and watch the world burn together without harshing my vibe?”

      Or during the primaries with Bernie. While Bernie was bing harangued for extra medical records, Joe Biden got a free pass, despite only being a year younger.

        The DNC actively sabotaged Bernie’s run. Looking at all the the facts in retrospect, I do not think he would have won. He, however, would have performed much better, and maybe pushed the overton window within the DNC left in order for Hillary to appease the segment that was pro Bernie, rather than just scoff.
