Joe Biden has spent the last several months laying out the reasons why it would be a terrible idea to give Donald Trump a second term in office—reasons that include everything from Trump’s assault on reproductive rights to his pledge to be a dictator only “on day one.” And on Wednesday, the president added another entry to the list: the fact that his opponent appears to have completely lost touch with reality.
Speaking to supporters at a fundraiser in San Francisco, Biden reportedly referred to Trump’s claim that he and Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny—who recently died in an Arctic penal colony—had suffered similar treatment, with the president remarking, “Some of the things that this fellow’s been saying, like he’s comparing himself to Navalny and saying that—because our country’s become a communist country, he was persecuted, just like Navalny was persecuted. I don’t know where the hell this comes from.” Biden added: “I mean, if I stood here 10, 15 years ago and said any of this, you’d all think I should be committed. It astounds me.”

An actually horrifying thought
This is one of the things where it sounds obviously unconstitutional, but I would not bet money on the fact that it actually is.
Of course it’s blatantly unconstitutional, one cannot be denied due process, see 14th amendment. However, that is not the poignant question. What matters is: does anyone of consequence and power give a flying shit anymore?
Just send Trump to Gitmo. There’s no due process there, so there’s no problem!
Would that not mean Baker acting someone is unconstitutional yet occurs daily and has for decades yet not a flying fuck has been given?
Joe could throw trump in prison without due process and probably tie it up in courts for at least a few weeks.
Biden should throw Trump in jail, then say he has immunity since he’s the president. Trump either has to take it, or set precedent against his own cases.
A tiny part of me is hoping the supreme court does rule that presidents are immune and then biden just fucking drone strikes Mar-a-Lago and resigns before they can indict him.
Biden could even argue in good faith, that he did it to protect democracy.
This is why the supreme court cannot find that. Because that would mean the Dems have only one option left and that would be doing it first.
If SCOTUS does the unexpected and rules a president has absolute immunity? Yeah, I would do this the very next moment.
I mean… how else would you describe this?
Jesus fuck.
What the absolute gucking timeline of fuck
FTFY
Committed to a supermax.
This election is gonna be a lot of elder abuse, and everyone is gonna suffer.
We really need a fucking age limit or at least a dementia test…
Oh, is that a surprise somehow Vanityfare?
Well, according to Trump, you can make that happen
5150 him like YayO!
Then they started flinging spoons of Jell-O at each other.
Just kidding. I know Joe’s a raging bull, etc…etc…
Joe’s old and moves slow, Donald’s old and has a clinically diagnosable personality disorder. Trump does not share a reality with the rest of us
Joe’s old and moves slow
So is a glacier but they can ground down entire mountains
Trump does not share a reality with the rest of us
And still there are too many that want to be part of his alternative reality

Would be interesting if the rest of the campaigns took place in the same senior care facility.
Just shuffle all of the “leadership” off, scuffling amongst themselves. Include McConnell, honestly probably Pelosi, Grassley. Eventually they’ll get distracted by board games or whatever and we can figure out next steps.
I’ve said before that their debates will be reminiscent of the Lincoln-Douglas debates, not because of the high oratory, but because they both think they remember them.
lets not get into mental acuity fighting, no one is ganna win there. This is just some BS middle school shit, just beat the other on the issues. And for fucking once maybe try doing the things you promise on the campaign trail, I mean you know he will, he will be dictator for a day, then maybe just a few more, you know when it feels right to give the power back.
There is a very very clear winner here. It might be the one eyed man being king in the country of the blind, but it’s no contest at all.
Both of them should. Honestly guys, at this point you’ll need a socialist revolution to save that shitshow.
This is some useful idiot shit right here.
Sorry, all they have money left for is a fascistic insurrection.
