sophia Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 The funniest part of that link is the clarification at the bottom of the article.. The headline of this article was amended on 8 February 2024 to clarify that Biden mistook living leaders for dead ones, not the other way around 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 https://www.scotusblog.com/2024/02/supreme-court-appears-unlikely-to-kick-trump-off-colorado-ballot/ With regard to Vikingwang’s analysis, given the Donald has done quite similar, seems a bit biased to only highlight one side.

The basic problem is Trump Is charged with willful retention because he refused to return them and tried to hide his possession of them, while Pence and Biden both immediately reported the items they found and returned them. P.S. The special prosecutor in question was appointed by Trump. Edited February 8 by TxRover 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freedom Farter Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 The Tucker Carlson interview of Putin probably merits a mention in this thread. The benefit to Putin is obvious. It rehabilitates his image to Carlson's fan base who are a significant chunk of Republican voters (and therefore potentially the backers of the next US president). Maybe less commented on, though, is what Carlson's game is. The Republican party thrives on rallying their voters around wedge issues. Creating a wedge issue out of the aid to Ukraine is a clear tactic we've seen for a while now and Carlson here is doing his bit to help that along. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 What is the popularity of support for Ukraine among the American population as a whole? If Republicans decide to throw them under the bus would it be electorally beneficial or damaging, or make virtually no odds either way? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most recent reasonably reliable data: https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/12/08/about-half-of-republicans-now-say-the-us-is-providing-too-much-aid-to-ukraine/ Short version, Republican support has more than halved over the period since the Russian attack while Democratic support is down a little less than 20%. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Quote US President Joe Biden has angrily criticised an investigation that found he mishandled top secret files and said he struggled to recall key life events. In a surprise news briefing on Thursday evening, Mr Biden insisted: "My memory is fine." He slammed a claim that he could not recollect when his son died, saying: "How the hell dare he raise that?" ... However even as he sought to rebut reporters' questions about his age and mental acuity, he inadvertently referred Egyptian leader Abdul Fattah al-Sisi as the "president of Mexico". Asked to comment on the latest in the Israel-Gaza war, he said: "I think as you know initially, the president of Mexico, Sisi, did not want to open up the gate to allow humanitarian material to get in." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-68244352 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 The most worrying part is stubborn auld buggers thinking that they should be in charge of deciding whether or not their own memory is failing. How exactly would any of us know? It's part of life, to one degree or another. Doesn't mean they're suddenly useless, but it's poor judgement to see prior generations suffer from deteriorating memory and assume it hasn't happened to them too. He'd seem a lot more competent if he was able to admit that he has minor lapses, but has trustworthy people around him to point out when he's talking about what the President of Egypt, Mexico, or Zaire said. And maybe point out that the Zaire conversation must have happened at least twenty-seven years ago. You'd feel a bit more confident if they could find people of working age who could do the job, but. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a good sign either way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zetterlund Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Biden's mental competence being the lead story in the British news yesterday maybe suggests there's plans afoot to bin him. I'm amazed he has lasted this long tbh. Calling al Sisi the president of Mexico during a press conference hurriedly arranged to rebut claims of cognitive decline is just absolute gold for the other team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
