Golly, Biden is off his game here. He can't string two thoughts together. Not joking, man, this is troubling.
On a similar note, the U.S. has a population of ~328M. With any population that size, it's not difficult to find anecdotal examples of just about anything a person wants.Very interesting article in Quillette ref. heuristics, specfically "availability cascades" and how we come to espouse the views that we do:
How Availability Cascades are Shaping our Politics
excerpt:
All politics aside, theories of Biden getting dumped for Harris, scandals etc. This is embarrassing and unacceptable for a presidential candidate. He can’t put together thoughts, he can’t even read from notes or a teleprompter correctly half the time... that’s not who should be representing this country as it’s leader.
Totally agree.This isn't an attack on the point you've made or even in support of Biden nor is it an attack on Trump. But we're in a post-statesman world, gone are the days of the "ideal" politician (Think your the Bush family, Reagan, Obama, etc).
People don't care anymore what is presentable, only whether it's their tribe or not.

The difference is today we have a constant barrage of information telling us this or that. There is no escape.I think you are largely right, but only partially. We see these things through the microscope of our time-limited vantage: the here and now, under our noses (we see this in "best/worst president ever" polls). In our lifetime this started to change with Bush Junior and the 2000 election, and has only become worse. But historically, if you read docs and books about the early presidents, a lot of people hated John Adams. A lot of European leaders did not see him as a statesman but as a buffoons. Ironically, he was increasingly someone who protected his tribe. He started out against party politics but he and Jefferson really created what we're seeing today.

This is an interesting article. I’ll have to return to it later when I’ve got more time to sit and fully digest it.Very interesting article in Quillette ref. heuristics, specfically "availability cascades" and how we come to espouse the views that we do:

And then there's this. I'm curious if he feels Trump is going to lose and felt safe to come out of hiding.

Normally I'd say the No Christmas/4th of July statements were the "attack on Christmas/patriotism" you usually see used, but weddings and graduations is a touch more hyperbolic than normal.
If we're going by God Emperor Newsom's restrictions on Thanksgiving...what the POTUS is saying is not far from the truth in California or New York.
Well that’s fucking lame!And then there's this. I'm curious if he feels Trump is going to lose and felt safe to come out of hiding.

I'm glad you threw this up here.
Maybe he's been made, is afraid of the blowback, and is now trying to put himself in the public spotlight to garner sympathy.And then there's this. I'm curious if he feels Trump is going to lose and felt safe to come out of hiding.

@lindy did mention that the Deep State is a bunch of unscrupulous bureaucrats who wield an extraordinary amount of power and influence. Between the coup on POTUS, Biden documents, and all these other information drops, I think it's safe to say the Deep State is real.What trashy asshole. And he just provides credence to folks opinions of a "deep state".
