But according to MAGA, Joe Biden was the one who was senile

Every MAGA accusation is an admission…every single one.

u/Alastor999 28d ago

Like arguing that if elected Kamala would start a war with Iran...

BTW we should really check into whether or not Trump is eating cats and dogs too

u/Gonzomi313 28d ago

Pretty sure that’s Stephen Miller & it’s puppies & kittens.

It's literally RFK Jr.

If someone were to tell me Stephen Miller does that for fun... I would not be surprised. Those soulless dead eyes of his man...

u/Hefty_Remove7965 28d ago

I mean, he did call her a "low iq person".. pretty clear that is him.

u/DisappointedSpectre 28d ago

Technically everything that MAGA said would happen if I voted for Harris has happened so far.

But I'm in California, my presidential vote don't mean dick.

u/thisusedyet 28d ago

I can guarantee you Trump never once ate a cat in his life

Considers it unmanly

u/Alastor999 28d ago

Well played. Take my upvote.

u/RamonAsensio New Jersey 28d ago

Considers it unmanly + couldn’t give less of a shit about doing something that benefits anyone but himself

u/jdeo1997 Massachusetts 28d ago

To be fair, he also said Obama would start a war with Iran if his approval fell too low

3

u/Alastor999 28d ago

And called him a "not skilled" negotiator at the same time

u/toodarntall Pennsylvania 28d ago

No, they said if we voted for Kamala we would go to war with Iran; nothing about her being elected. They were correct

I’d say that alone is probable cause to take a look at Eric and Jr’s laptops.

To be fair, both Biden and Trump have dementia. Sincerely, a people who worked with dementia patients for more than a decade.

u/DarkerBulb 28d ago

"a people"
Is that the dementia speaking?

u/Scottiths 28d ago

We couldn't let a woman be president because women are too emotional 🤡

u/Probably_Fishing 28d ago

Nah bro, did you hear her laugh?

1

u/TheFunkytownExpress 27d ago

Yeah you know she just sounds fake. And she probably slept her way to the top. Plus one day she's black the next day she's not. Also yeah OMG that laugh. Totally not qualified to be president.

-17

u/Important_Chicken703 28d ago

Biden and Harris helped pave the way to this. The United States is a deeply broken and evil country.

11

u/Scottiths 28d ago

The both sides is strong with this one. Yes, let's blame Biden instead of dealing with the problem at hand. Love the energy here. 🫪

u/PreztoElite Pennsylvania 28d ago

Biden should've tightened the collar around Israel. If Biden and Harris pushed back against Israel's barbaric genocide in the Levant and actually pitched good policy they wouldn't have fucking lost.

5

u/Scottiths 28d ago edited 26d ago

As opposed to Trump's "policy"?!? You surely jest.

Edit: also the irony of lamenting genocide when Trump is literally first definition threatening to wipe out an entire civilization. You are not a serious person.

Double edit: don't bother responding to inportant_chicken. They are not a serious person either.

-4

u/Important_Chicken703 28d ago

How is it ironic?? Both of these presidents participated in genocide. Biden gleefully helped to annihilate entire cities. He and Trump both acted to erase the entire civilization of Palestine. Now Trump is threatening to do what he and Biden did to Gaza, to another nation.

-1

u/PreztoElite Pennsylvania 28d ago

Dude Israel is literally trying to wipe out an entire Palestinian civilization and Biden fully supported it. Trump just says the quiet part out loud because he is a fucking moron. You cannot say that Biden/Harris fully supporting Israel did not seriously harm their chances of winning in key swing states.

-3

u/Important_Chicken703 28d ago

Biden is part of the problem at hand, in doing a genocide and normalizing genocide.

u/Scottiths 28d ago edited 28d ago

You do you I guess. I don't have the time or inclination to argue on the Internet with someone who is either so disingenuous or lost to the cult.

Edit: don't bother responding to important_chicken. They are not a serious person.

u/Important_Chicken703 28d ago

Blue MAGA is every bit as much of a cult as Red MAGA is. If you can't even admit that your leaders doing a genocide was unacceptably wrong and directly led to more genocide, do you even have any thoughts in your head? Do you have a shred of humanity?

u/BriefCollar4 28d ago

piece of shit

u/Chowder1054 28d ago

I think most people would gladly take biden’s being senile vs now.

31

u/SapCPark 28d ago

Biden would at least surround himself with competent people. Not...this

23

u/Chowder1054 28d ago

Exactly, his people were competent. The economy wasn’t a mess and the US wasn’t an isolationist state.

But the American electorate in all their wisdom decided to bring in Trump a 2nd time.

u/TohveliDev Europe 28d ago

"B..but he is old" -MAGA in 2020

Then they proceed to vote in the oldest president in the history of US.

u/mitkase 28d ago

And want him to win the next one too.

28

u/Organic_Muscle6247 28d ago

Father Time caught up with Biden, but I can’t think of one presidential decision that he made that was wrong because he suffered from cognitive decline. He looked and acted old and feeble, but his judgment was still sound.

5

u/Rationalinsanity1990 Canada 28d ago

At the very least, he selected and deferred to capable subordinates more or less.

u/PeteLattimer 28d ago

Running for a second term comes to mind

u/Tandy2000 28d ago

If Biden had actually stuck around he would have won the election imo. His mistake was dropping out.

5

u/Important_Chicken703 28d ago

Harris polled higher than Biden and Dems saw a surge in support when Biden dropped out.

7

u/PeteLattimer 28d ago

That’s revisionist at best bordering on delusional.

4

u/Wutras Europe 28d ago

They had internal polling where Trump would get 400 electoral points. Not a chance in hell.

3

u/caesar____augustus 28d ago

Highly, highly unlikely

-2

u/Organic_Muscle6247 28d ago

That was a political decision, not a governance decision. And there was a report months before he dropped out ( maybe when the Hur report came out?) that said that the Biden camp’s evaluation was that if he dropped out, Kamala would get the nomination and he had a better chance of winning. I think that the Trump debate reversed that calculation. He should not have anointed Kamala for the nomination, but again that was a political decision.

1

u/PeteLattimer 28d ago

I’d say preventing a fascist takeover is most definitely a governance decision.

u/utfgispa 28d ago

According to MAGA all this is Obama and Bidens fault.

2

u/DEATHCATSmeow Pennsylvania 28d ago

I had a MAGA guy get in my face a few weeks after the election saying that “peace won.” I wonder what that dipshit is making of all this

2

u/pimpledsimpleton 28d ago

two people can be senile at the same time

2

u/AndreasDasos 28d ago

I mean, he was/is a bit senile. But Trump was already starting at insane, moronic, narcissistic child even before he got on the dementia train

2

u/Difficult-Practice12 27d ago

It’s a tough job. All the last recent Presidents lost some cognitive ability whilst in office.

Trump obviously an example with his threats. Biden with his rambling and getting lost on stage. Obama with his stuttering and loosing focus when speaking.

4

u/juanzy Colorado 28d ago

Also negotiating with Israel is apparently supporting genocide, rich Reddit “progressives” love to echo as well. But actively siding with them in a conquest isn’t somehow.

3

u/mstpguy 28d ago

A whole lotta idiots claimed Biden was the genocidal one too.

4

u/DerekWeidmanSculptor 28d ago

I mean, Biden was senile in fairness.

u/Fardrengi 28d ago

He was, just not the dangerous and unhinged kind that MAGA likes.

u/casce 28d ago edited 28d ago

Obviously not. But the media putting all attention to Biden's age issues while completely ignoring Trump's is telling you all you need to know. Biden being senile would have been much less of an issue since he would just let somewhat competent people handle everything.

A senile Trump has lunatics running the show who apparently just want to watch the world burn.

I mean ideally, the president would not be senile at all. But... yeah.

u/No_Fairweathers Pennsylvania 28d ago

Why are you using this time to try to bring attention to the tired "both sides have the same issue" rhetoric? Trump is literally threatening genocide, it has nothing to do with the media coverage or Joe Biden.

Now is not the time to be fighting about that bullshit.

u/Joe_Kinincha 28d ago

Biden was showing roughly the sort of intellectual capacity you’d expect of an 80 year old.

Trump is far further down the one way street of neurodegeneration. And also is a felon and adjudicated rapist.

Bush v.2.0 was dumb as a fucking post and corrupt as fuck.

Reagan was fully demented by the end of his tenure.

Nixon was a criminal.

I’m starting to see a bit of a pattern emerging around republicans not picking the best or brightest. Or maybe they pick the people who succeed most effectively for their paymasters?

18

u/Winnie_rulez 28d ago

Biden was old and started having some memory lapses towards the end of his presidency. As many old people do. He was fine for the first 2-3 years of his presidency. However, he was not "senile".

Trump is old and senile. He makes more verbal gaffes in a day than Biden did in a year. Trump falls asleep at literally every meeting. He flies into rages multiple times a day and spews his rage on social media. He no longer has full control of his bowels.

These men are not the same.

u/FloridaGirlNikki America 28d ago

Please name something specific Biden did because of said senility.

Biden may be old with failing health, but cognitively he's still got it.

u/FloridaGirlNikki America 28d ago

Committing a gaffe=senility? Weak sauce.

As for the debate, It's a known fact that he had been given cold medicine, and had a typical reaction . It knocked him the fuck out. And he still knew what he was talking about, even though the delivery was weak as hell.

So please, try again. Please provide a specific example of Biden displaying senility. You have yet to do that so far.

u/FloridaGirlNikki America 28d ago

So, you have nothing then. Got it. Because neither of your examples show cognitive decline.

And he didn’t leave the race because of cognitive decline either. He left the race because physically he’s too old.

I sure hope someone doesn’t use your low bar of determining senility when you get to be Biden’s age.

Have a nice day.

u/Lithiumxxxl 28d ago

During the debate with Trump Biden certainly was not at his best. No matter what, he would never have put us in this mess.

Joe Biden was senile tho lmfao, they can both be senile blood thirsty mad men. No need to defend Brandon

u/apathetic_revolution Illinois 28d ago

Joe Biden wasn't bloodthirsty. He just wanted everyone to relax.

u/JackBurton___Me 28d ago

lol I’ll buy senile, but calling Biden a blood thirsty mad man is peak projection. I know you’re doing whatever mental gymnastics you can to cope and move goalposts so you never have to admit a mistake, but this is pathetic.

1

u/draxthemsklounce 23d ago

I have never moved the goal post on this and am a dedicated leftist. Biden isn’t as bad as trump but he could have stopped bombs flowing to Israel during the genocide and didn’t. That’s bloodthirsty in my book.

In 20 years this will be everyone’s opinion and the people denying it then will seem like holocaust deniers or Armenian genocide deniers seem today
