tek79 posted:So if Trump, out of cowardice, refuses to debate Biden before the general election do major networks (not including Fox News) just give Biden the whole time alone to just dunk on Trump or talk about his plan for a second term? Or do the networks just give up on debates this time around? Just curious what sort of speculation there might be on this when Trump very well might dodge out of them. They both sound old and hosed up so I wouldn’t be surprised if they both skip on the debate. In all honesty either one’s numbers would probably go down if they got an hour prime time to talk alone, but I think we’re past people caring about skipping this poo poo. Which is kinda nice because the debates have been garbage for quite some time.

What I want to know about is what the VP debate would be like, both of them not acknowledging how old their guy is while also talking about the other guy being ancient and decrepit.

Dude, Biden can debate like a champ and there is no way he isn't going to hold Trump to it and make him be the one to bow out like a loser. Seriously, quit the false equivalency bullshit.

Serious question: let’s say Trump is the nominee and loses. Can his lawyer get leniency by claiming dementia and showing some of these videos to keep him out of prison?

Jelly posted:Why do people try to assign meaning to Trump? Or Republicans in general? Stop trying to do this. They're imbecilic insane assholes who don't know how to do anything but lie. That's the explanation. This should not surprise anyone at this point. I mean, the point is that you kind of have to have a lie be coherent if someone is going to believe it, and this isn’t even coherent in form much less content

Jelly posted:In this example the words I would focus on for Trump are imbecilic and insane. What kind of explanation are you expecting in response to this question? Trump utters absolutely nonsense garbage from his puckerhole, something he has done thousands of times since we heard his name. Let's psychoanalzye this. I will admit that the explanation I was expecting was not you being weirdly aggro about any of this

After gargle-bargling it he maybe just spun off into  about swippness and then tried to bridge his way to talking about Desert Storm at the top of the next paragraph.

Sydney Bottocks posted:It is because Trump's speaking ability has clearly deteriorated since 2016. Between COVID, his various addictions, his horrible diet, and his lack of sleep because he stays up all night raging on his chosen social media platform, his mind is clearly gone and he just says whatever. All he knows anymore is whether people boo or cheer for him, and he craves the latter Pausing here real quick: I don't think anything has ever actually come of the ostensible boast that Trump plays 4D chess. I think it was just another mass delusion that CHUDs hoped, oh god hoped that Trump was capable of, but like so many things, never really panned out. Memes? Plenty made. Actual substance? I don't think anything ever happened.

MechaX posted:I mean, the point is that you kind of have to have a lie be coherent if someone is going to believe it Nah. We're post-post-modern now. As long as the speaker is a member of the group you identify with, and the words are shaped to reinforce things you like, it doesn't matter what they actually are. Like... did you ever look at the lyrics of a White Zombie song and realize they don't actually make sense? But they've got angry action verbs and nouns that sound edgy or dark, so they fit the shape of what you're expecting from a guy who looks like Rob Zombie does, so you hold up the horns. You're not looking for meaning in them, so it doesn't matter that there isn't any. People at a Trump rally came to hold up signs, clap and cheer when Tremp says CROOKED JOE BIDEN, and generally get validated for believing what they believe. It literally doesn't matter if he makes any sense, he's going to say words that sound like he's going to make everything better for them, or at least worse for their enemies, and that's all anyone's there for.
