The Sad Cognitive Decline of a President

@Horace Horace, I agree with you 100%. Everybody has bias which helps to "define" what they believe.
If an article like the above is about (generic) your guy, it is easy to point at the weaknesses.
If an article like the above is about the other guy, it is held up as a sound expert reasoning.
And as usual, the truth is somewhere in the middle.

You will find that when appealing to the "experts", both sides are not equal. The institutionally entrenched side (the left in America) will by definition have the institutional experts on its side, and so the appeals to the experts will come mostly from that side.
Now, somehow the institutionally entrenched side is not the "conservative" side in the West, which is an interesting state of affairs. What we mostly need is to redefine how we think about "conservatism". It seems obvious to me that the conservative inquisitor class, the people with the psychological earmarks of entrenched status quo true believers, are on the institutional left these days. These people would have been conservatives in any culture they were ever born to, to the extent that psychology plays a part in tribal affiliation.

Of course, after all, Hitler liked dogs.

Two points: He either believes that he is "Honest Don" which indicates he probably has some cognitive problem, or he is lying. Second, he seems to forget that he did not debate at all during the primary. Maybe another sign of cognitive problem??

Trump, in an interview, had been asked about Democrats’ growing criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ......
“I actually think they hate Israel,” Trump responded to his former aide, Sebastian Gorka. “I think they hate Israel. And the Democrat party hates Israel.”
Trump, who last week became the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee, went on to charge: “Any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion. They hate everything about Israel and they should be ashamed of themselves because Israel will be destroyed.”

No, he's right from a Biblical perspective. It's not uncommon for Jews to turn their backs on Israel.
The current Democrat party has become very anti-Israel. It does not make rational sense to vote for people who have no problem supporting people that would eradicate your mother country.

Netanyahu is not Israel and nor is Israel Netanyahu. I see no problem in supporting Israel but opposing the policies of Netanyahu. Likewise I wholly disagree with Schumer’s statements amounting to interference in Israel’s internal affairs. Schumer is totally out of line in his capacity as an American senator and Senate Majority Leader.
Could care less whether that corresponds to any biblical perspective or whether his Jewishness and loyalty to the current government of Israel are dependent on one another. I think both are just conjured and partisan straw man arguments.
It is just bad political form on Schmer’s part. Bad enough that he should be called upon to resign as Majority Leader.

President Trump freezes at rally. Maybe he is taking lessons from Sen. McConnell.

At first I thought that maybe the closed caption TV failed, but President Trump said that was not the case. He just paused for "dramatic effect" LOL
I think that they should run the debate different. Have Presidents Trump and Biden on one team against a group of 6 form students.

Link to videoWithout knowing what he was saying leading up to the pause, it’s difficult to know whether it was a pause for effect or he did in fact freeze.
I think I will give him the benefit of the doubt, although there may have a been something going on off camera that caused him to pause. Teleprompter glitch or some such technical hiccup?

The guy can't do anything right. He should sit around on his fat ass texting and eating McDonald's all day like a real American patriot.
Oh sorry, tomorrow's Sunday. He should be reading his favourite bits of the Bible. WHICH IS ALL OF THEM.

He could take bigger risks. Such as committing adultery and falsifying business records to cover up paying hush money to a porn star. But biking is basically the same.

Nah, that doesn't compare to feeling up your daughter in the shower.

That's funny, I seem to remember that when Obama rode a bike,he was criticised for wearing a helmet. "America deserves better".
I'm sure that was a completely different situation.
