Masks being mandated for the country for three months is creepy joe practicing to be a dictator. And if it doesn't work, he'll want another four years.

Satire from From The Babylon Bee:

Biden: 'A Black Woman Will Become President Over My Dead Body'

Yeah, that's hilarious. My prediction? We'll see this joke repeated at least a half dozen times in this thread.

I love those guys!

I really don’t expect much there. Biden is a good example of what is wrong with the existing political system.

Why would anyone want more of the same?

OK, here's the list of Biden accomplishments of value in the past 44 years.

1. Well, er, uh . . .

Next question?

I'm locking this thread until tomorrow. That'll give some of you guys the chance to find the hidden clues in it.

Reopened

Jokes are fine, even necessary as an outlet for something like this, but not half of each page filled with them, and not the same jokes repeated a dozen times. Jokes repeated over and over are an indication members are not reading the thread. You don't want to be that guy.

After this drooling, empty vessel and his attack dog are defeated, you can turn this thread into its own comedy club. Until then, all things in moderation, please.

I think Joe's first attack on the virus is mandated masks nation wide. Yeah, Joe, that's going to work! Oh, Kamala wants to speed up that whole vaccine bullshit. Arghhh. Those two drive me crazy.

Not a joke. A fact:

Joe Biden, a man with few convictions.
Kamala Harris, a woman with too many.

No, it IS a joke, because it's intended to be clever, but it's not. It's merely trite. It's a play on different definitions of the word "conviction". That comment is lacking in substance. Empty and pointless and contributes nothing to this thread.

Guys, if you don't have anything SUBSTANTIVE to add to this thread right now, don't post in it.

A more substantive Biden post:

Unmasking Joe Biden’s Mental State

What impact will Biden’s mental faculties have on the election?

By Dr. Theodore Roosevelt Malloch and Dr. Niall McCrae • August 13, 2020

Sleepy Joe,” as Donald Trump likes to call him, will be the 46th president of the United States—assuming you trust CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times or the Washington Post. At 77, Joe Biden has a lifetime of dubious political experience, most notably as vice president to Barack Obama. Yet he was hardly the strongest candidate the Democrats had to offer this year.

Though not as insufferably entitled and tainted by sleaze as Hillary Clinton, Biden suffers from one additional, major flaw: his evidently waning mental faculties. Many believe that Biden’s lapses are not simply the slowing down of senility, but the beginnings of dementia.

Diagnosis at a distance is a dubious endeavor and one that psychiatrists normally eschew. All the rules have been broken, however, since Trump took office, with a constant stream of “expert” analyses of the president as a narcissist or psychopath.

In Biden’s case, the signs of mental dysfunction are readily apparent to anyone who has an elderly relative with memory problems and failing concentration. Political rivals, commentators, and the general public should not jump to conclusions, but Biden certainly shows a serious degree of cognitive decline that would be worrying for anyone, let alone for someone seeking the keys to the White House.

Is Biden in the early stage of dementia? The Alzheimer’s Society describes the following signs and symptoms of this disease:

• Failing memory for recent events and experiences;
  
• Difficulty in concentrating, planning or organizing (e.g. making decisions, solving problems or performing a sequence of tasks);
  
• Communication problems, such as inability to follow a conversation or failing to find the right word;
  
• Impaired visuospatial skills: difficulty in judging distances (e.g. on stairs) and in seeing things three-dimensionally;
  
• Loss of orientation to time and place.
  

Biden does not consistently display all of these anomalies. Problematically, though, basic factual errors and wrong words are becoming more and more frequent. Here are some examples of his tenuous grasp of pertinent detail:

Campaigning in Iowa for the Democratic candidacy in August 2019, Biden asserted “we choose science over fiction,” followed by the punch-line: “we choose truth over fact”
At the Asian and Latino Coalition in Des Moines, “poor kids,” he exclaimed, are “just as talented as white kids.”
In September 2019 at the Workers’ Presidential Summit in Philadelphia, Biden claimed that tax credits “would put 720 million women back in the workforce.”
At a rally prior to Super Tuesday, he stumbled on the Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women are created by the . . . you know, the thing!”
At the South Carolina Democratic primary debate, he told the audience of “150 million fatal shootings” since his opponent Bernie Sanders had voted for gun manufacturers’ exemption from liability.
In his home state of Delaware in July, he erroneously welcomed folks to “Kingswood Community Center” after an awkward pause he realized his mistake, but somehow made it worse: “Actually that’s the one I used to work. It’s a joke . . . You know where you were.”

These constant fumbles can all be veiwed on the unforgiving internet, and they are excruciating to watch. He also becomes irritable when challenged, another sign of faulty cognition. In Michigan, he told a man who had criticized him on gun control: “You’re full of shit.” At a New Hampshire rally in February, he reacted to a woman’s doubts about him standing up for workers, snapping “you’re a lying, dog-faced pony soldier.” Imagine the furor if Trump had abused a female voter like that. The other day, Biden called a black reporter a cocaine junkie after the latter had suggested cognitive testing.

Arguably, some of Biden’s apparent mistakes betray an underlying attitude towards race. In May he told a black radio host that if you are African American and considering voting for Donald Trump, “you ain’t black.” This suggested a sense of ownership of an entire racial group by their white saviors in the Democratic Party.

Compounding this, last week in an interview held by the National Association of Hispanic Journalists and the National Association of Black Journalists, Biden said that there was great diversity of opinion among Latinos, unlike among African Americans. He tried to explain away both these remarks, but to some, they were revealing of a mind that has lost its political discipline. Candor comes with disinhibition.

Some supporters attribute these gaffes to stress (although that is not very reassuring for a would-be president). In a recent Zogby poll, the majority of respondents believed that Biden has dementia, including one-third of all Democratic voters. It seems probable that he has mild cognitive impairment, a condition that tends to progress to dementia sooner or later. If he were to take the Montreal Cognitive Function Test, the electorate would have a better idea of whether he is fit to lead.

But the Democrats don’t want him tested, either by a neuropsychological instrument or by open political debate.

The coronavirus lockdown, therefore, has been timely and beneficial for Biden. Locked away, he has been spared from addressing mass rallies, with the likelihood of underwhelmed audiences and far from full venues. He has not been aggressively questioned or faced the press. He refused an interview with Chris Wallace of Fox News. Now his people appear to want to cancel the three televised debates, a norm of U.S. presidential elections for decades.

Meanwhile, his grandstanding adversary has been deprived of his most effective means of campaigning—mass political rallies in towns and cities across the nation. By comparison, Biden has reached those who bother to listen by facing his computer camera in a windowless home basement. But even with a script to follow, Biden repeatedly blunders. He finds using Zoom confusing; at times he seems to even be wondering where he is.

What impact will Biden’s mental faculties have on the election? Of course, the Democrats simply want to oust Trump at any cost, and Biden is merely an acceptable figurehead for the ascendant hard Left’s campaign, a kind of Trojan horse for an American experiment with totalitarian government.

Much will be made of Kamala Harris, who will effectively succeed him from day one and govern the country as the White House goes woke. While reclined, sipping tea in the Oval Office, Biden will really have lasted less time than the ninth president, Willian Henry Harrison, who served just 31 days before he died of typhoid pneumonia.

For the first time since broadcasting began, there may be no presidential debate. The Democrats know that Biden would be at risk of a catastrophic performance under pressure from Trump, who would pull no punches. Opinion polling shows that the American people like Biden more, the less they hear him speak. So he will be prevented from speaking at all. The New York Times has blatantly supported this tactic, leaving Trump to shout into the wind.

Democrats think that they’ll win the election in November without any debates, without a convention, without public rallies, without a real campaign, and without voters visiting polling stations. To have any chance, Trump must unmask the man whose cognitive deficits surely make him unsuitable as commander-in-chief in a dangerous world.

A President Biden could not ably govern or make cogent decisions. His misreading of an emerging conflict could cause rapid escalation and needless loss of life.

How can Trump best do that? Three ways.

First, constantly query Biden’s condition and demand cognitive tests. Release his own test result and challenge him to do likewise.

Secondly, ensure that the debates are held, with or without Biden. In his absence, use a cut-out figure wearing the familiar black mask.

Thirdly, counter every platform point, every comment, and every policy statement by Biden with clear, hard, undeniable facts. Demonstrate Biden’s subversive ideological bearing, his corrupt nature, his kowtowing to China, his shady dealings for the financial benefit of his son Hunter’s career (whose usurious credit card business imposed rates from 24 to well over 50 percent APR, making economic life perilous for the most marginalized people in society). A Trump War Room needs to work 24/7 doing nothing less.

In other words, unmask Biden.

I know better than to argue with you, Para.

It isn't a joke to me.

The ONLY way that cognitive deficits are clinically diagnosed is through extensive neuropsychological testing which typically takes 8 hours. A mini mental status or the Montreal Cogniive screening are worthless. An MRI of the brain may reveal lesions or areas of concern but does not translate into specific deficits. These evaluations are done in person. Comments from psychologists or psychiatrists about someone and their mental state are generally considered to be unethical but somehow are now tolerated. There is no substitute for an in person evaluation by a competent neuropsychologist. The VA has plenty of these professionals who evaluate and treat our Vets who are suffering from traumatic brain injuries.

Evaluate Biden on what you observe, the rest is conjecture.

Then why in the fuck are you arguing with me?

I've seen this kind of sideways stuff you're pulling right now a million times in this forum. You are POSTING jokes and you ARE arguing with me. Saying it's not a joke and saying you're not arguing with me, when it clearly is and you clearly are, does not change matters.

On a positive note, even the msm is upset at the biden/harris ticket for NOT taking questions at their latest 'appearance.'

https://www.foxnews.com/media/...not-taking-questions

quote:

Despite positive coverage of the Biden-Harris rollout from the mainstream media, the Democratic candidates are now facing backlash for not taking questions from the press.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris held the first joint virtual campaign event on Thursday since the California senator officially made her debut as the former VP's running mate the day prior. However, reporters who were present at the event were eventually shooed away by campaign staffers.

Journalists and commentators on both sides of the aisle offered a rare, unified condemnation of the candidates evading questions going into their second day as a ticket.

"To be expected for the roll-out. But this is not a show of confidence on day two," New York Times political correspondent Jonathan Martin reacted. "The seriousness of the topic and the times -- to say nothing of Biden's own criticism of Trump’s contempt for a free press -- makes accountability all the more essential."

"I get Biden + Harris not taking questions on the day of their debut, but today they also left without taking questions. When will they? Voters deserve answers to questions," CBS News reporter Kathryn Watson tweeted.

"Biden & Harris need to face questions -- tough questions -- from the media. This is not a coronation, even if some of the fawning coverage might lead you to believe otherwise," Washington Examiner reporter Jerry Dunleavy said.

"Kamala Harris and Joe Biden will continue to not take questions today... what a hell of a campaign!" political satirist and columnist Tim Young exclaimed.

"Now it’s time for @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris to take questions from reporters. They declined," NBC News correspondent Kelly O'Donnell wrote.

Even CNN anchor Brianna Keilar called out Biden and Harris for not taking questions from the press.

"We keep pressing the Biden campaign. There needs to be more questions from reporters," Keilar said.

Biden previously faced scrutiny for not holding a press conference in roughly a 90-day timespan. And the questions he received from reporters at his two most recent press conferences were seen as softballs.

The Democratic candidate made news at his campaign event on Thursday, calling for a nationwide mandate to wear masks.

This does not bode well for the dems, since we all know that the msm is the propaganda arm of the dnc. It doesn't seem likely that the biden ticket will be able to hold off questions for too much longer. Modern news people (I cannot use the term "Journalist") are extremely self-important and self-entitled. Even a democrat that ignores them and doesn't give them what they think they are entitled to will feel the fury of the press. . .

I am not particularly surprised they took no questions. I am mildly surprised the dominant "news" media is being so vocally critical of it.

I think I stated this somewhere around here quite a ways back, in some-or-another thread: Now that they've nominated Biden, they're kind of screwed: They can't afford to let him speak extemporaneously, as in unscripted debate or interviews, but they can't afford not to let him do so.

We've seen what happens when he speaks extemporaneously. What remains to be seen is if the dominant media remains critical of his refusing to do so.

In watching about 8 minutes of his speech crowning Kamala as the next sheep the RNC will slaughter, I did take pause in finding that he specifically got through this speech very well. The single reason that I watched it was to see if he was exhibiting traits of dementia/Alzheimers.

In that speech he did well unless I missed something.

I wonder if they can medicate him into periods of good functionality. If so, I do find that concerning.

Any thoughts??

Despite the Prevagen commercials, there is no medication that improves cognitive functioning to any signifcant degree.

Not to sound trite, but I imagine that he has good days and bad days. Sounds like you caught him on a good day, when the firing order in his brain was working correctly.

Its so patently obvious what's going on. The Biden team will not allow questions be posed to him, none. The media on the other hand is suffering a huge credibility deficit right now with a lot of their potential audience, and they know it. Soooooooo, they have to try and find some middle ground where they can try and save face (and promote ratings/revenue) by squabbling about "No questions" without really pushing the issue. Here's a hint, it isn't going to work. If the media doesn't push for Biden to stand up and answer their candy coated questions, they lose and Joe loses with them.

The blatant refusal to answer 'any' questions should be a cold slap in the face to anyone with a functioning brain stem that this man is completely incompetent at this point. The fact that people will still vote for him tells you everything you need to know about what's wrong with this country.

Just like with my grandmother's cognitive problems toward the end of her life, some days she recognized me and remembered much of our life together. I loved those days. Other days she didn't have the slightest idea who I was. I see much of the same behavior and attributes in Biden.
