    My god, the man is insane. And people are talking about how unfit Biden is because he mixes up world leaders and dates?

        I guess I am unfit for office because I forget everyone’s name about 3 minutes after they tell me. If I haven’t met you several times I am just never remembering your name.

          Literally reason #1 why I haven’t run for (local) political office, despite seriously considering it.

          My wife took me to a going away party for one of her co-workers where I literally only knew her (obviously) and the neurosurgeon she works for. She introduced me to like 30 people over the course of the evening then would ask days/weeks later “do you remember so and so?” I forgot their names they moment we moved on, lol.

      Interesting to learn so much about how Fascism works, because of Trump. Making crazy statements, as a type of blind loyalty test is instinctual for fascist leaders. Alienates his followers from normal people, forces them to believe in even crazier things.

      He is very vaguely suggesting the Dems will purge all connections to the past. It’s a calculated talking point. He isn’t insane or stupid; he is evil.

          It sounds scary, because it’s ridiculous, and yet people believe it anyway. They will believe anything he tells them, and that is very very scary.

          You couldn’t be more off base. The worst thing to do is to keep dismissing Trump as “stupid.” What possible reason could you have for underestimating him and the rest of the conservative party, especially in their capacity for evil?

      They’re both unfit, and it’s a disgrace that you’re basically stuck choosing between these 2. There’s a reasonable chance one of them keels over and dies before the election as well.

          I mean, sure, but there’s like 300 million other people they could’ve picked instead.

            There is surely a very large set of people who could be a better president but the conjunction of that set and the set of people who can become president is empty.

      Meanwhile Trump has never even heard of these people or what happened on those dates…

      Instead we get classics like this from the certified genius …

      “Person, Woman, Man, Camera, TV. See how smart I am, not many people can remember 5 things…”

      and

      “that dementia test was quite challenging but I passed it, not many other people would be smart enough to pass it”
