      Trump is arguably more senile.

      But for some reason we won’t talk about that. 🍊💩ler gets a free pass for some dumb fucking reason.

      If Biden did even 1 of the many law breaking things that trump has done in his second term, you’d be talking about impeaching Biden.

      But no, instead you will say “heil 🍊💩ler” Amirite?

        So. If it was ok to have Biden be in office and senile, then you should be fine with Trump being in office and senile.

          So your argument is: “If Biden’s senile, then Trump being senile is fine too”? That’s not an argument, that’s full-blown surrender.

          You’re not defending a competent leader. You’re just saying: “I’m okay with dysfunction, as long as it’s my dysfunction.”

          Let’s break this down with facts — something your side tends to dodge like military service in the ‘60s.

          Biden stutters, sure. He misspeaks sometimes. And yet, under him we had record job growth, inflation falling, infrastructure actually being rebuilt, and NATO strengthened.

          Meanwhile, 🍊💩ler “precious orange daddy” as many MAGAts call it these days.

          • Tried to overthrow an election he clearly lost — and we all saw it on live TV on Jan 6.

          • Was found liable for sexual abuse in a civil trial (E. Jean Carroll case).

          • Convicted of 34 felony counts for falsifying business records to cover up hush money payments to a porn star. and still somehow got defended by “family values” conservatives.

          • Is under multiple federal indictments for hoarding classified documents, including nuclear secrets, at a Mar-a-Lago bathroom a literal national security threat.

          • Bragged about “grabbing women by the pussy” on tape and still somehow got defended by “family values” conservatives.

          • Gave huge tax cuts to billionaires, blew up the deficit, and tried to trade Alaska to Putin (yeah, that came out in his own former aide’s book).

          You’re not comparing “two old men.” You’re comparing a guy who occasionally slurs and stutters a word to a delusional, twice-impeached autocrat wannabe dictator who can’t stop committing crimes. And you want to act like it’s apples to fucking apples?

          If your bar for leadership is “well, they’re both senile,” then you’re not looking for a president.

          You’re looking for a mascot and you’re willing to let a convicted felon drive the country off a cliff as long as he’s wearing your team’s stupid red hat.

          That’s not logic. That’s cult behavior dressed up as what you think patriotism is.

          Fuck 🍊💩ler. Fuck the draft-dodging, Bible-fumbling, wannabe dictator who bankrupted casinos, ran a fake university, and cries about witch hunts while selling gold sneakers to his cult. He’s not a genius the man can’t spell “hamburger.” He’s not a Christian he held a Bible like it was radioactive. He’s not a patriot he tried to overthrow democracy and stashed classified documents like baseball cards.

          MAGA worships a weak, racist con man who folds under pressure, hides behind lawyers, and blames everyone else when he screws up. He’s not being persecuted — he’s just finally facing consequences. So yeah — fuck Trump, fuck MAGA, and fuck everything they pretend to stand for.

            No, I’m saying that you were happy with Biden being in office even tho you all knew and hid it senility. So you really can’t be against senile people being in office now. Hypocrite, much?

            Trump will be prez for rest of his term. Get used to it.

      And?

      I’d take senile over delusional, narcissistic, amoral, sociopathic, traitorous and pathologically dishonest (and probably senile to boot) any day of the week.

      Biden was a mediocre-at-best president even when he was still sharp, and certainly went downhill.

      Trump is absolutely the worst president in US history, and one of the worst national leaders ever in the history of the world. He’s not even just incompetent - he’s overtly malignant and actively and methodically destroying the US.

      And I don’t give a shit whether you believe me or not - it’ll reach the point when you won’t be able to deny it any more and you’ll have to face the fact yourself. And by then it will be too late to do anything about it. And it’ll serve you right.

        And you are in the minority. Which is why we have Trump as president. You voted your way, I voted my way. :)

        And yet he got voted in a second term. Hmmmm…

        And I don’t give a shit whether you believe me or not - it’ll reach the point when you won’t be able to deny it any more and you’ll have to face the fact yourself.

        I like Trump.

        And by then it will be too late to do anything about it. And it’ll serve you right.

        Nah, I’m set for the rest of my life, but thx for the concern!

          Ah - that explains it.

          Well, actually it only explains half of it, but I wouldn’t expect ypu to also admit that you don’t give a shit about other people.

            I have never stated, nor have I ever posted anything that implies that I don’t give a shit about other people. Sounds like you’re projecting

              I have no doubt at all that you believe exactly that.

              More’s the pity.

                You don’t know me at all. But I’m not surprised you’re someone who judges people without knowing them.

                  When I wrote my predictions of the destruction and suffering that Trump’s presidency is going to bring and that you’re not going to recognize it until it’s too late, your response was “I’m set for the rest of my life, but thx for the concern!”

                  You think that’s not revealing?

                    It’s not revealing at all. It’s showing you that I don’t think the doom and gloom is real. If he’s so bad, then why was he elected again? You all said the earth was gonna end the first time he was elected, and yet here we are. :)

                    I like trump and I am proud to have voted for him. And most of the voters joined me in voting for him. Your loss. Oh well. :)
