I just don't want to anything anymore
We're just monkeys with guns.
Humanity patting itself on the back about how enlightened it believes that it is is just masturbation.
Speak for yourself, I've never played a guitar in my life and I wouldn't be caught dead in that haircut.
That's Monkees. Subtle but important difference.
Said the ape in underwear
We are the dumbest apes capable of building a technological civilization.
Some of us are cephalopods, thank you very much.
World War Two DID happen therefore Biden retroactively caused it! Impeach him now!
Why did Hunter Biden do this??!
BECAUSE OF HER EMAILS
And the tan suit and latte salute.
Is that what the gun was for?
We all know that gun was to shoot coke with that's what liberal drugsters do
With his laptop.
Biden Time Family
Slow clap.
Wibbly wobbly timey wimey... stuff. That's how he caused it.
Biden is a deep state time lord of Gallifrey… believe me!
Lol.
To be fair, he probably is polling higher than Obama.
I actually doubt it, but I can't find any semi-recent Obama polls to say otherwise. Michelle Obama is polling great right now however.
And this, students, is an example of Projection
Students scribble notes
Ironically that trump quote is a perfect description of Trump's government
Everything he says is projection, so it's not very surprising.
A cognitively impaired Trump thinks a ‘Cognitively Impaired’ Biden May Cause ‘World War II’
Imagine being so cognitively impaired that you accidentally time travel.
The question becomes does America want a time travelling president? I mean I assume that they would, but I'm not American so what do I know.
His base already denies the holocaust, might as well just deny the entire war ever happened so he doesn’t get accused of plagiarism, too.
Pearl Harbor was an inside job
What job was Pearl inside of?
Steve Jobs lmao gottem
Can we finally add an age limit to all political offices, please!?
Aren't some states trying to do that in the US? But with a lower limit instead of an upper limit to prevent the "woke millennials" from taking office?
monkey's paw's finger curls
we just need to raise the government buildings by 50 feet and make them only accessible by stairs/ramp
As far as I'm aware of, there is already a biological age limit.
And it's called death.
Basically, while you have to be 35 to run for president (and be a natural-born citizen of the US and be a resident of the US for 14 years), there's no age cap on running for president. It's been that way ever since George Washington became president, and changing that would require an amendment to the US Constitution.
you should have to be within 10 years of the median age of the country to run for president, to ensure you are actually in touch with the country you are going to govern, and the people in it, and the problems they have.
The "issue" with that is that, typically, most elected officials work their way up the ladder. Generally speaking, first, they're mayor of a city, then governor, then they typically run for a federal office, be it president or congressman/ congresswoman. If they run for Congress, there's a chance they may run for president later down the line.
There are other options to pick from in a climb to the top, so this is just a general idea. Basically, they have to make a name for themselves on the national political stage before they have a chance at winning the presidency. So that's what they try to do when working their way up the ladder.
Funny, it didnt stop Bill Clinton, or Obama, or Kennedy, from achieving office while being within roughly 10 years of the median age of the country, or having names for themselves.
Maybe some IQ one as well - it doesn’t have to be too high, something like 60 would already filter out this idiot..
I initially read this as him saying world war 3 and then realised he actually said world war 2 and I can't stop sad laughing at just how fucking stupid this.
And to think 70 million Americans said that's my guy and there is still millions that would vote for him without hesitation if the election was tomorrow.
theres a bit fewer everyday.
Not quickly enough.
Ahhh, projection at it's finest.
I…think I need a drink. (I don’t drink)
I quit a little over 4 years ago. Since then we've had a pandemic, riots, war in Europe, too many natural disasters to name, and no real improvement on the horizon. I'm starting to wonder if my drinking was holding this world together.
If you quitting drinking was all it took to kick off the end of the world, we were screwed anyway.
The last time I was drinking often was when my mom was in her last couple years. She passed in 2016. My drinking is occasional (even rare) now. Can't let you take all the blame. We'll split it 50-50 lol
I'm just going to down this litre of vodka and you two let me know if anything improves, because I doubt I'll be able to figure it out on my own.
The hero we need! o7
Look, I know it's a big ask, but can y'all please spirit our problems away?
I guess the world's just going to have to burn, then.
Well, between wars, the rise of the far Right (again), climate change and the utter fucking up of the world economies by the ultra rich, now would be a good time to start.
You really should stay hydrated.
Remember that time he talked about how the US took over the airports during the revolutionary war?
This guy histories!
They smashed up some bird's nests. Those were the airports of the day.
The commander in chief bragged about our Abrams and Sherman tanks.
remember when he bragged about acing a dementia test, ignoring the fact that just having to take the test is kinda cause for concern.
Better headline:
"Trump confirms that US president has time travel capabilities"
You heard him boys, take him away
It’s like he learned the word in his own medical checkup and decided to throw it at Biden.
Luckily Biden is always awake and alert because he is "woke"
Nobody is woke in America .... they're living the American dream, which you have to be asleep in order to enjoy.
Or cocaine...
Even if donnie did not totally f this up and sound like he's ready for a memory unit, it's not like he is much younger than Biden. Every time he talks about Biden, it only reminds me of how old donnie is.
Every time he says anything about Biden being really old it always makes me think of my grandmothers.
My grandmother on my mother's side died at 80 with dementia. Meanwhile my grandmother on my father's side died at 99 and was basically perfectly normal and aware until about 2 weeks before her death, so age clearly isn't everything.
Also Trump is clearly suffering from some kind of neurological degenerate disease and wasn't exactly an competing in intellectual decathlons to begin with.
In addition, donnie does not seem to be doing anything at all to age well. Netflix has a series about living to 100; donnie seems to violate every single suggestion.
Well, but didn't you know that the human body has a finite amount of energy like a battery and you use it up doing sports? Donald Trump does.
Well according to my grandmother the trick was to not die. Also she used to bleach her cookware, but I suspect she lived to 99 despite that, rather than because of it.
It's already too late since World War II already happened. Donald Trump tried his best but World War II happened. We could keep warning people about Biden but unfortunately he will enter the time machine anyway and tell young aspiring artist Adolf Hitler that his art isn't that good. He will have tried to tell Adolf in the nicest way possible to ensure that Adolf won't take this wrong. Perhaps he will have tried to encourage Adolf to keep pursuing art as a hobby and maybe try studying art again later. But the fact that World War II happened shows that nothing that Biden will have tried has worked.
Everybody kills Hitler on their first trip.
Why not add a basic intelligence test too? Imo asking for someone that's cognitively coherent and isn't a complete moron isn't asking much for a leader of a country.
The question is, which one would Trump fail first?
Or at the very least require a TS clearance to run.
Biden is professor farnsworth now
Good news, everyone...
Lmao
The pot calling the kettle black.
I'm starting to think something might be off with this Trump guy...
World War II: The Sequel "Let's Gidderdone Right"
Wait not world war two, 'the search for more money'?! Lol
I facepalmed just reading the headline.
One should actually facepalm at "Trump", so the rest of the nonsense can't be read.
If we rush this section we can get to the space race and go to the moon by 2059.
Well obviously WWII ended badly for Hitler the First, so Hitler II has got good reason to worry about WWII Jr.
As Americans, should we just mass suicide to try to save humanity?
The problem is... the wrong one's would mass suicide and leave behind the assholes.
Murder/suicide it is then!
I'm thinking we can just learn some lessons from the Fyre festival and arrange to have them left on a deserted island without cell signal.
Just tell them that's where hunter hid his other laptop.
"Jason Aldeen and Kid Rock are hosting a week long festival with all you drink Coors light and it's free for god fearing patriots!"
COVID almost worked
Thomas Hartmann keeps quoting some stat that illustrates the die-off of Republicans due to Covid. I wish I could remember the exact amount, but it was not rosy for Republicans.
Maybe next plague...
There is an interesting statistic that, if everybody on Earth lived exactly like the average american, we would need 8 planet Earths worth of resources - which is insane.
Take your average latin american individual, and this number drops to 0.9.
Does anyone have a link to the statement?
You didnt happen to...... read the article did you?

Thank you, it did not load on my end.
Like... with a time machine? In a way that was somehow hidden to history?
Okay, now I'm honestly intrigued. More details needed.
I won’t vote for old, either side. Done with it.
Thats a long winded way to say you want repubs to win and create the fourth reich.

fascism 101 i see 😛
P R O J E C T I O N
Pretty sure he meant too /s
World war II is going to cause covfefe prices to skyrocket!
Biden may, in fact, have a time machine and go back to start WW2 himself. The details of which are in classified documents kept at Mar a Lago.
Pot calling kettle black.
Pot calling the kettle “pot”
Pot calling the kettle collect and not reimbursing for the cost later
I do love that most of you all are pretty left leaning. Thanks.
I don't think people are all that left. I think conservative has been misused so much it is almost a drop in for fascist or laissez fair capitalist.
E.g. abortion. The conservative mindset is to keep regulations to a minimal and defer to the medical community. Overruling Roe was pretty radical and goes against the recommendations of the medical community. It is also government getting into people's business.
E.g. climate. Wouldn't it be more conservative to err on the side of caution and do things that are a good idea anyway and reduce GHG, like renewables and reducing car dependent design? Replacing street cars, trams, and rails with cars everywhere was a pretty radical move.
I can keep going with examples, but I think that is clear enough.
If you look at policies, people overwhelmingly support policies, initiatives, laws, etc. that progressive groups champion.
If you look at how people rate themselves and people they know, they will simultaneously say that they are all moderates or conservatives.
Politicians further misunderstand the overall lean of their constituents, because the loudest and most consistent voices are regressives screaming that all conservatives are with them.
Add to this that progressive groups tend to be focusing on actually doing the things, while regressives can quickly build a fantasy world and just all agree to repeat it ad nauseum, and you've got a perfect storm for people to not have any good way to actually describe the world they want to live in.
That is the infuriating part. The people the are voting for are anything but that when you think about what they say the value and what those they vote for do. Case in point, I just got a mailer from a local politician with some anti trans nonsense about some trans woman athlete that did well and it wasn't fair because she used to male. Wouldn't the small government approach be to leave it up to the sports organization?
Same with schools. Why are all these alleged conservatives that claim small government out of their business trying to micromanage school libraries?
Why do these government out of my business types want the only way to get around be a car you have to have government permission to operate that you must register with the government that must meet government safety and emissions regulations, that you can only effectively use on government roads that are monitored constantly by government police and you have to have government mandated insurance that meets government requirements.
I think those conservatives are dead by now. It’s the trumpets now.
But you are talking about a political conservatives, these aren't it, they even want to throw elections everywhere. In Brazil our copycats say they are "conservative in traditions" but "liberals in economy", you know, "I want a child to born but then it can starve to death".
I don't care if people are leaning one way or the other as long as they argue their points in good faith.
That said, one side seems to engage like that a lot more than the other.
Most of reality is. Conservatives hate the fact that they are in the extreme minority.
Remember that time when Biden thought he was debating against Abraham Lincoln in the televised debates?
Both Biden and Trump are borderline senile fossils that shouldn't be trusted with the Western economy and nearly half of the planet's nuclear weapons stockpile. Either candidate poses a very legitimate argument for maximum age limits to be imposed on future presidential candidates.
This isn't out of any dislike towards the elderly. People's mental facilities tend to decline substantially when they get to that age and that proves detrimental when making economic and political decisions. We saw the same thing with Ronald Reagan in the later years of his tenure.
When it's a two-horse race between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, society loses.
I absolutely think biden's too old, but in this specific clip it kind of seems like he is making fun of Trump's "I am the least racist person ever" response.
Definitely a sarcastic jab at trump.
I'm 100% confident that at the time that's how this was interpreted. After the guy talked about how he was the least racist person in the room (lol), calling him Abraham Lincoln doesn't seem like much of a stretch.
By mid 19th Century standards (the Civil Rights movement wouldn't come until roughly a century later), wasn't Lincoln progressive? Not only for leading the US through a civil war brewed partially over slavery, but also abolishing it?
Yes, that's the point.
Haha I love how I watched this live and knew conservatives wouldn't have a clue what Biden is saying here.
He's ripping on trump and it totally flew over your heads.
Conservatives really don't have the ability to understand sarcasm unless it matches their confirmation biases.
I've been waiting years for this to manifest. Thank you for being the idiot who fell on the grenade.
I just watched it ... it's mind boggling that could be interpreted as anything but a dig.
From Joe Biden, the man who said he was going to beat Joe Biden?
I mean, it could definitely be a joke, but I wouldn’t put it past him to do that. He’s definitely senile, the wrong thing about the “speech” in the article is that Trump is in no position to say that when he’s even worse.
and then we have senators that gave away power of attorney but still have power over the US.
Age limits are necessary. Term limits would at least patch the problem.
Mfw you are more out of touch with language than the man you're portraying as senile.
Have you honestly never heard a sarcastic "look at __ over here"?
You cannot be this stupid.
I genuinely refuse to accept that you honestly believe what you say here
