Donald Trump & Joe Biden

[seivad]

He can put on a shift for his age. And he can manage to drink a glass of water, so that's an improvement already.

Wondering how fast Melania will be contacting divorce lawyers?

And what's going to happen to the other Melanias? That was a pretty niche gig

I bet Joe can walk down a ramp with a bit more confidence too

[local]

You might just come to rue those words before the four years are up, Joe ain't well.

Still, he has a deputy to step in who will manage well she's no duffer.

A plausible expectation for a Biden Presidency:

The United States of America is fundamentally divided. It is divided between exploiter and exploited, oppressor and oppressed. There is no unity to be found with kleptocrats and oligarchs. Any attempt to pretend there is will lead to political failure. It will lead not to healing but to a deflected polarisation. If Americans are not polarised against plutocrats, they will be polarised against each other.

I understand that, in a sentimental nation, bromides like Biden’s might be considered necessary. But I fear he believes what he says. When he spoke to wealthy donors at the Carlyle hotel in Manhattan last year, he told them not only that “no one’s standard of living will change, nothing would fundamentally change”, but also that “you have to be able to reach consensus under our system”. In this context, consensus looks like appeasement. — Monbiot ex: the Guardian

…and an assessment of U.S. Presidential predecessors over 40, or more years!

The individual characters are somewhat subsidiary. The real problems are embedded in the institutions.

The sun shines on the inaugural celebration of President Joseph Biden.

Great ceremony.
I thought Biden's speech was sincere and thoughtful.

[local]

Didn't so many of them look so old, where's the next generation they can't keep draining the nursing homes.

Far better without Trump there, the Biden Broadcasting Company were in full fawning gear.

Pity Covid took the shine off everything.

The virus is draining the Nursing Homes, they may have to skip a generation possibly two.

Pity Covid took the shine off everything.

I did not see the point of distancing and masks when so many hugged and kissed after the ceremony finished.

[local]

They were all tested prior to the ceremony I'm sure I heard.

You wouldn't want covid going through that lot especially Joe although they fixed the oranges ones covid well he actually seemed to improve afterwards.

You wouldn't have put money on the fat Trump coming through so well.

That is of course assuming the orange blob actually had covid, or possibly more fake news, he went from allegedly seriously ill to walking and functioning as normal, maybe he just got lucky.

[local]

Blimey the orange mist again, Trump faking covid would have to have had an awful lot of bit-part players in the scam.


Not least Dr Sean Conley and other doctors with Trump's medical team at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington.

“You’ve got more questions?” Biden replied. “Well, I tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”

Every time Joe Biden opens his mouth, he talks out his backside!
Do the right thing, Joe. Stand down.

I don't believe that Biden is intended to last his full term. The big hint was when he was campaigning, his vice president featured in the media almost more than he did. I have never seen that happen before, and oddly - it was also mentioned during the campaign that Biden has got health problems.

It' OK. Kamala Harris is on standby.

The media claims are far more generous in her abilities than her own biography states. But that is the States for you.

J. Biden' biography is not very flattering - he has had his pants on fire too many times.
