An internal combustion engine came up to me, big strong internal combustion engine, tears in his eyes, and said "Sir, I want to thank for all you've done for this country, from the bottom of my spark plugs."

All the talk about Biden being mentally unifit coming out of the Trump camp has to be pure projection. Trump is what, only 4 years younger? He's had some gaffes just as bad imo

They're both mentally unfit IMHO. One is a bit demented, the other is lucky that his dementia happens to help cover a pile of seething shit.

Biden isn't a good person by any means but we're literally comparing the next Hitler to Bill Clinton.

Clinton got a blowjob and got impeached. Trump fucked a hooker and no one gave a single fuck.

Bill Clinton is only 77, WTF why is our current president 81 when the former president 30 years ago is currently younger???

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Clinton (and Obama, for that matter) were exceptionally young presidents.

Clinton was the youngest president at the time of his induction since Kennedy (Kennedy was also the youngest President at the end of his term for other reasons, namely because it was the youngest a President had ever died, if that makes sense). JFK was the youngest since TR, who was the youngest ever, and Obama was only a year or so younger than Clinton at the time of induction.

A friendly reminder that half of all Americans have the literacy skill of a 12 year old or younger.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

We should be precise. 7th grade reading skill is roughly where uou should be at 12 years old. A 7th grade reading level is literate, able to read and understand most words, and able to derive meaning.

Adult illiteracy is nothing to be ashamed of. More adults should seek help with their literacy skills, and people should not be made to feel stupid just because the educational and social support systems failed them in one way or another.

Celebrating ignorance is the real problem. Trump is not just illiterate, he's incoherent. His statements are gibberish, and his followers revel in the confusion and consternation he evokes in others.

They do believe the car thing. A relative of a friend told me she didn't want Biden to take away her Honda CRV because she liked it so much. She seemed to think it was a nearly done deal, Biden's coming to reclaim all fossil-fueled powered vehicles and make everyone buy electric cars. I didn't ask for details.

Of course, the Republicans are standing strong against this atrocity.

Depending on the generation of CR-V, I suppose - and without any hard math/stats despite how hard I've tried - I suspect the net impact of your relative driving it for the rest of its usable life vs buying a brand new EV to be significantly less, considering Lithium mining, curb weight, etc.

...... I'm not sure why you're telling me this. Also, it's not my relative.

"This is the guy I want to represent my interests in international negotiations."

– 40% of Americans

If he wins the world is lost. His "leadership" is indicative of the same disease that's increasing everywhere. It's worrying and it's all coming from the "right" of the political spectrum. Wars are coming.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

I've always had to remind myself and others of this. Trump isn't the problem, not really. He's just a symptom of the brain rot gripping the world at this moment.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

"Joe Biden is the incoherent one."

  • Those same 40% of Americans

Do you have a source that doesn't have a fuck load of cuts and edits?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Skip to 40s. The quote is only about 20 seconds long; it runs to 1:03.

Wtf is he even saying

Honestly it's a little how my mom talks when she gets upset. Just a stream of things that are loosely connected but are all bobbing along on the same river of emotion.

It's how I get stuff like "You never call me you call your cousin he's cheating on his wife you know just because you broke up with your girlfriend doesn't mean you have to take it out on me". You can kind of see how there's a shared feeling or theme there but it's not articulated.

I'm going to guess that for someone who produces output like that, input of that type goes in easily. They're just vibing on the emotions.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

It's one thing all the parodies like SNL miss. Every mockery of him makes more sense than his babble, because you need things to make some sense to be funny for more than 90 seconds.

"Covfefe" gives you what, two seconds of a joke? When you work it into something, that something ends up more coherent than actual Trump.

"Emotional Word Vomit"

New band name?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Remember the emo bands from 20ish years ago? The lyrics in a nutshell..

"I'm so misunderstood and unique, nobody else is anything like me, my life is very uncertain right now" -Every other song

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sounds about as coherent as Biden. Fuck 'em both.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

I will pay you to find a single example of incoherence that comes anywhere near this.
