@antipodean I reckoned the above wasn’t real (it isn’t, but checked online to make sure) thinking it was a fake joke meme bc the Atlantic has been getting mercilessly mocked the past couple weeks for their commentaries and headlines carrying water and excusing Biden for the same things they howled in pearl-clutching outrage when Trump did them.

There are many examples of him being a senile old fucker but using a vid of something that happens to many people to illustrate a point makes me think the opposition are just as desperate.
If you want to make a point, make a valid one rather than yet another weak one.
Relevant reminder for short memories:
[…]
“Biden’s own campaign made a point of the president’s physical fitness, comparing him to Trump’s awkward ramp walk. The problem with going that route is exactly what we saw this weekend. Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates immediately took to Twitter to fend off mockery and trolls, to no avail. It was hopeless, and this very online administration should have just laughed it off. But because they themselves made Biden’s fitness an issue, it is now fair game.
“And because the media decided to go full Woodward and Bernstein over Donald Trump’s own health, they are now also fair game for their unequal and biased coverage now as well, no matter how silly the entire matter may be.”

I took a similar fall to this about 10yrs ago. Twice actually. Once was when I stopped outside a busy cafe and didn't manage to unclip - it felt like my topple to the ground took a full 30 seconds . The 2nd time I was stopping at the lights and I toppled over into the path of oncoming traffic, luckily none particularly close at the time.
Good times.

Not just that, that you and Biden have in common. You’re both unfit to be POTUS.
Obviously a massive assumption regarding you, but I’ll stand by my comment.

@Catogrande damn you and your blind accuracy!

Circling the wagons. And the toilet bowl. Didn’t see rose-tinted spectacles like this for the last occupant.

High level lunacy staring right back at the camera, completely unaware that he is present, hands poised to pick your pocket at the first opportunity.

Brings me no joy to say this looks and feels like a nursing home.

I think it brings you a little joy.

@Kid-Chocolate one of the techniques for speech writing is to enlarge and bold text where you want the speaker to emphasise words.
Writing YOU makes it easier for him to know what actions pertain to him at a glance.
That being said; he's clearly at a stage he should be enjoying retirement.

Clay Travis comments, “I have never seen instructions like this for any person leading any meeting I’ve ever attended in my life. I bet you haven’t either.”
He wins the bet.

@ACT-Crusader I am ignorant when it comes to the American legal system but this appears to be a step backwards. I noticed the conservatives keep referencing abortion is not in the constitution. There must be so many laws that are not in there like Gay Marriage etc.
Did anyone read Freakanomics where the authors suggest roe vs wade resulted in a massive drop in crime as they believe many unwanted children end up on the criminal justice system and once they could access abortion there were far less vulnerable kids who go on to offend. Also similar story in Romania when they banned abortion and ended up with all those horrible orphanages.

Sad sad news, undermining decades of women's rights. Of course those most affected will likely be poorer women who can't afford to move out-of-state for an abortion - how can they manage? Even though it's been coming, the impact today feels ... shattering
And one of the conservative judges has already called for the court to go further per this CNN article. Just unbelievable in 2022:
Justice Thomas, who explicitly called for the court to reconsider its rulings striking down state restrictions on contraceptives, state sodomy bans and state prohibitions on same sex marriage.
“Because any substantive due process decision is ‘demonstrably erroneous,’” Thomas wrote, “we have a duty to ‘correct the error’ established in those precedents.”Ruling opens door for reconsidering rights to gay marriage and contraception
