I know people are focused on the implications for the upcoming election, but I find myself wondering "Who is running the country right now?"
I'm guessing the answer is something along the lines of "It's complicated", which should be a completely unacceptable answer for everyone.
The country is not a dictatorship. It is run by the administration the same way it was when trump went golfing.
The US is a corporate military entity masquerading as a civilian government
Seriously. Do people think the president literally keeps the country running?
The guy had a brainfart and lost his chain of thought during a debate.
It doesn't mean he's an idiot. It happens to everyone. It actually sounded like he was a bit sick
Trump only seemed competent because it's easy to make up BS.
I disagree that the concern about the President's mental state originates from a single answer given during the debate.
I've never really seen Trump in a state I would define as competent, but even I had this is rank whataboutism. The question at hand is whether or not Biden is well enough for continued occupation of his office and Trump has fuck all to do with that.
He was answering questions fine otherwise. It was literally just one answer he had a brain fart
Would I prefer someone younger? Yeah
Does it affect me.. not entirely since I'm in Australia
It's not the first time he's done something like that though. People (on both sides) have been accusing Biden of being senile basically since he took office.
On both sides? Who exactly?
