Biden has a speech impediment not dementia. The thing about Biden having dementia is a rumor with no medical backing. Its also offensive to those who stutter and those who have dementia or have friends and or family who do.
 
Bernie Sanders is older than Joe Biden and Trump is also in his 70s, the latter uses bronzer to make himself look younger when you see him without make up he looks much older.

How about fuck Biden. He deserves to lose to Trump.
 
I agree on both ends.
 
Unfortunately I don’t think 4 more years of Trump is something we can recover from. I’m voting for Bernie if he’s still in by the time my state votes, but even if Biden is the nominee I’m still picking the “Not Trump” option.

It is quite the extortion racket, yes.
 
‘Vote for my guy! He’s better than Trump He’s not as bad as Trump!’
 
But that strat of holding the country hostage sure worked in 2016, huh?

Either way, I don’t see him beating Trump if he does get the nomination, which he probably will. I don’t think I could in good conscience vote at all.

“ShimSham my GlimGlams”
“Vote for the rapist with better policies.” Almost verbatim what I’ve seen. With Sanders still in the race, the less that has to be a possibility. Why would someone want that? Of course, that just assumes either Trump or Biden has good policy, which is a farcical idea.

Biden is not better than Trump and the DNC should be ashamed for pushing him.
You know, I want Bernie to be the nominee too, but there’s no way I’m buying that Biden wouldn’t be a better option than Trump at this point. And it doesn’t matter what the DNC pushes, because the primaries don’t work in a way where they can just magically make who they want the front runner. Blame the substantial number of the Democratic party’s most loyal and consistent voting demographic for the fact that he’s still a contender at this point.

And I commend you for that. I’m not wild about Biden by any means, but I’ll take decades of experience in a reasonably functional government and possibly some actual respect for the rules over a selfish, self aggrandizing, idiotic, lying D list “celebrity” any day of the week. Besides, as I keep saying, it’s not just about Biden. There are cabinet positions to think about, and terrible judges to stop from getting appointed, and a thousand other things that at least stand a chance of being fixed once the guy who broke them in the first place is out.

I think with Trump you have the unpredictable angle that could either be bad, or better than Biden, it’s a total gamble for sure and you have no idea if he’ll try to do well by the people for his own sake or not, where as with Biden given his track record on bills he’s signed in favor for, you know how bad it is and what you should expect from him, especially from his campaign which suggests he is not going to change any of that at all. Like Trump, he doesn’t give a shit, I won’t even humor the idea that he gives a flying fuck about the American people, the only people he truly cares about are his friends/contributors, friends whom I’m guessing are mostly his contributors.

I’m convinced people want Trump to win again just so they can keep using him as a scapegoat or as the butt of all jokes. I’m not defending him or anything, but that’s what it feels like.
Background Pony #40E0
If the DNC were corrupt and wanted to win they would have tilted the scales in favor of someone like Tulsi. The front runners this year were awful. I get they had no control over Bernie, but Biden is sadly going down hill from his age, Warren is a snake, And mayor Pete came off as phony.

If they are people who want that, then they’re the lowest of the low (even worse than those who genuinely fall for Trump’s agenda and cult of personality). Wasting four more years over something so petty is completely inconsiderate.

Jared Kushner makes coronavirus briefing appearance, draws backlash for ‘our stockpile’ comment
 
Exactly what it sounds like. According to Kushner federal property isn’t owned by the states, it’s owned by the king. And you better hope they deign do bless you with their generosity in times of need, because you sure don’t deserve it or are owed it or anything.
 
Ordinarily those above sentences would just be me putting the most cynical and douche-y spin on news as usual. This time however it’s the god’s honest truth, as the Strategic National Stockpile rushed to alter their online description of the stuff after Duke Kushner decreed the peasantry aren’t entitled to the things they are promised and entitled to in times of crisis.
 
According to a brief online summary on the Department of Health and Human Services website, the stockpile’s role “is to supplement state and local supplies during public health emergencies. Many states have products stockpiled, as well.”
 
But just hours earlier, the text characterized the stockpile as the “nation’s largest supply of life-saving pharmaceuticals and medical supplies for use in a public health emergency severe enough to cause local supplies to run out.”
The previous language stated that when “state, local, tribal, and territorial responders request federal assistance to support their response efforts, the stockpile ensures that the right medicines and supplies get to those who need them most during an emergency.”
Also stripped from the new summary is a sentence that affirmed the stockpile “contains enough supplies to respond to multiple large-scale emergencies simultaneously.”
The revisions come after Kushner argued at the White House coronavirus task force press briefing Thursday that the stockpile’s reserves are the property of the federal government, not the states.
Princess Applejack

Trump really lost it in the press conference today. Defending Jared at the cost of his own integrity.
 
Jared couldn’t have been anymore insulting unless he smiled at the reporters not a smile of honesty but one of smug arrogance. These Ventilators are “ours”…How heartless can that guy be.

They’re not confiscating them, they’re outbidding at the delivery (they did that in France at least).  
Not technically illegal (since those orders hadn’t been paid for yet), but still pretty sketchy from a moral standpoint.

That’s still a shitty thing to do, no matter what. There’s no moral reason to do this and honestly, should even be illegal. Whatever happened to “first-come-first-serve”?

Some orders destined to Canada have been hijacked on Roissy’s tarmac in a similar manner as well.
 
Conversely, France has been requisitioning some masks that were supposed to be delivered to Spain and Italy, and so did the Czech Republic.
Princess Applejack

The US government has been stealing masks and other medical equipment from Germany and France, by confiscating them during delivery!
What the fuck, US?!
Remember Trump’s 2016 slogan. “America First” well not really more so “Me first” because Trump needs to care for his “people” if he wants to stay King.
