More than a little ridiculous to claim Biden's misspeaking during the debate is in any way comparable to "they're eating cats and dogs".

Biden was in bad shape the way that a grandpa who has been running the family hardware business for fifty years gets a little bit confused about whether or not he called the guy about fixing the leaky roof, but by God grandpa is going to be at work seven days a week selling wrenches and screwdrivers and absolutely fucking refuses to take a vacation, let alone retire, even though there are younger people who are more than ready to take over.

Trump is in bad shape like a football player who got drafted out of high school, was hustled through his college classes on the basis of his football scholarship, and then took so many blows to the head that his brain looks like a dried lotus pod.

Neither is good, but there is a meaningful difference.

I didn't know what that looks like so I googled it and wow that's basically just trypophobia fuel.

They're eating cats and dogs was straight demagoguery. It's like the Nigerian prince scams. It was rational for him to say that. Horrible, but rational.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago

Rational in a purely self serving sense at the cost of all else. I'm not sure rationality is doing the hard work here.

It was just one of the more well known examples and it is an example of not having control over your thoughts to even form a coherent statement that's relevant to what you were just saying. The whole they're eating cats and dogs isn't a great example as it unfortunately is a coherent statement that he intended to make, it wouldn't make someone suggest you take a cognitive test, they'd just think what we all think about it "you're a lying racist piece of shit peddling conspiracy theories some asshat lied about to suit your narrative."

I'm not trying to defend Trump in any way whatsoever, but Biden was absolutely declining in front of us. Either way, denying it or embracing it doesn't change where we're at so it's kinda pointless to argue. I was just commenting on the statement that there was no reason to test Biden when I think it could have been justified.

Yes, and now it’s happening again only this time the party doesn’t care, no one is able to shore up anything, and the majority of the government apparatus is in serious danger.

“Change is going to happen. Change that we can’t even think of right now. The things will happen and I believe for the best. Hopefully for the best, but I believe for the best.

But things will happen that you can’t even imagine. And it’s going to be very exciting, but the way that’s going to happen is through thinking big. 

Nothing great was ever built, think of that. Nothing great was great was ever built without the word momentum at your side. In times of your life, you’ll have momentum. That’s the time you go for it.”
