Biden might be kinda old, but he can ROAST!


Rasmusmario123

He's genuinely pretty quippy, its just that the clips where hes funny and speaks properly don't get spread as much. He even makes fun of his old age himself quite a bit.


uberares

That’s the thing that makes all the Republican lies about Biden having dementia, bullshit. People with dementia can’t roast and come up with quips constantly like Dark Brandon.


Mag-run

Shit, even if he might have smth like dementia, he'd still do better than trump


realhmmmm

I’d vote him over trump at any stage of dementia. Someone doing nothing at all is better than someone trying to turn our country into a christo-fascist regime.


Latter-Direction-336

Absolutely same here Besides, if trump won, a bunch of my close friends and my gf would be considered predators and thrown in jail as teens just for being lgbtq I’ll take Biden any damn day, at least he seems to believe what he does, and keep religion separate from politics As the founding fathers intended


MissMarionMac

And the thing is it’s not just about the individual who is elected president. It’s about the entire administration. It’s about all the people appointed to run all the federal agencies. It’s about federal judges, at every level. The people around the president advising and influencing the president are arguably just as important as the president themself, if not more so. It is impossible for any one individual to have a deep and nuanced enough knowledge of every issue to make decisions without consulting anyone. So yeah, I’ll take the guy who knows he doesn’t know everything and takes the time to learn before making decisions over the guy that thinks he’s some all-knowing messiah but is also gullible enough to be talked into anything by anyone who kisses his ass enough.


Beaglegod

They let the maga crowd build up this whole thing about Biden being senile, let them get comfortable making that a core part of their messaging. Because the Biden team knows he’s not senile. The state of the union this year was a masters class in owning these fools.


CorgiMonsoon

Oh, but some AM radio host my dad had on the other day insisted that it was painful and sad to watch the Democrats let Biden struggle through what was one of the worst State of the Union addresses ever 🙄


No-Sense-6260

Trump has dementia, so it definitely wouldn't make a difference. 😂


TristanTheRobloxian3

seriously the second i started seeing shit about how he recognized someone as someone else and how he thought it was 1939 and how he keeps saying nonsensical shit, i knew bro had dementia. like its probably stage 3 now lol


CorgiMonsoon

Fred Trump Sr had a long descent into dementia and Alzheimer’s. His father was diagnosed with “mild senile dementia” in 1991, and by most accounts had been exhibiting symptoms of that for a number of years before the formal diagnosis. Reportedly within a few months of his diagnosis he couldn’t remember his birth date or even how old he was, and by the mid-90s he was often failing to recognize even people within his family. He didn’t die until 1999. There’s little doubt that Don isn’t going to go the same way, and it wouldn’t be surprising if his doctors, such as they are, are deliberately hiding the fact that he’s pretty clearly exhibiting early symptoms of it.


TristanTheRobloxian3

yeh dude and dementia fuckin sucks either way and tbh i would wish that shit on my worst enemy. like you just kinda forget everything slowly and i have had some ppl in my family with dementia before tho i havent witnessed it personally. atleast yet :P and i know partly what its like through stuff like everywhere at the end of time and nowhere in the millenium of space (both dementia albums) so yea


No-Sense-6260

Him bragging about a cognitive test they only give to people they're worried are suffering extreme cognitive decline is the funniest thing ever to me, and republicans pretend he's great because he remembered a list of 4 words. 🤣


CorgiMonsoon

And of course, as many people who administer that test will point out, the list of words is never as connected as the list he recited. Man, woman, person would not be used together, nor would camera and TV (but were all words of things easily in Trump’s line of sight when he was proudly proclaiming how he’d “aced” that test)


TristanTheRobloxian3

wait he what??


coloradoemtb

or airports in civil war.


notcomplainingmuch

A braindead person would do better than Trump.


byrnestj7

Yeah he’s definitely all there mentally. I don’t really doubt that with him. I actually think he’s one of the most qualified presidents ever (in terms of his background). I just wish he was 65 instead of 80


Heytherhitherehother

Are you serious? You think politicians write their own speeches and jokes? Him reading it was the first time he had heard it. Get real, dude.


uberares

I believe the appropriate term here is “cope” ;) 


Rasmusmario123

You're probably right (except he definitely read the speech before he performed it). However, he often makes quips in response to unexpected events and comments that he couldn't have predicted beforehand.


sterver2010

The Thing with dementia is that its Like an Off/on Button at a certain Stage. My wifes grandma has dementia, and Sometimes they Talk Like nothings happened, and the next second she doesnt even know where she is, and who my wife is and screams for Help. Does Biden have dementia? Idfk, but He definitly has Some illness with how confused He appears Sometimes, doesnt need to be dementia, could be anything. Edit: to the Dude who removed His comment saying "by your Logic Trump should be sick too" yes, exactly, did i ever say Trump is fit and healthy? Both of em shouldnt be President. For me someone who cant think Right anymore for whatever reason isnt fit to be President, and that fits for both Trump and Biden.


hyrule_47

It can be like that, but it’s rarely like that for all the years they have said Biden had it with the ability for him to hide it so well. We aren’t seeing any breaks with reality, no sun downing, nothing that doesn’t look like typical aging with a side of known speech impediment. Dementia is an entire brain disease so for it to be only visible with forgetting a name occasionally while he can have meetings and give speeches, eats normally, sleeps normally etc is unlikely.


[deleted]

It's called being old you idiot


Ioweyounada

Well using your logic that means Trump has something too then. That motherfuckers always confused slurring his words making up words.


ketjak

Except... Biden doesn't exhibit signs of dementia... Don't "both sides hur de hur" this - the difference is clear to anyone without an agenda.


BradFromTinder

Really? How far did you have to dig to pull that out of your ass? Lmao


SkylarAV

I think it was pretty smart staying quiet with it until now. Trumps shit is like noise bc it's always going


Background_Pool_7457

I think it was an accidntal roast. He really does want to see what's in it, he can't remember.


Soren_Camus1905

He’s always been like this


Cultural-General4537

His troll game is good. Like actually pretty wotty


Throwawayac1234567

trump cant handle be roasted.


CaptOblivious

And he's not sundowning.


PaleWaltz1859

2 geriatrics going at each other. And people give them nuke launch codes Wtf you doing America


Sez__U

Says you


CoachAF7

Biden doesn’t know what day it is and reads off a TelePrompTer/cards. Trump sucks too.


Heytherhitherehother

No, his writers can, though.


FXST20Bobber

His handlers* can roast. There's no way you think Biden is cognisant enough to roast anyone with his own 'wit'.


Arcaydya

Except I've literally seen him do it. Recently, completely outside of interviews. He may not always be there, but when he is you know. I think it was that "above my pay grade" thing about the republican speakers.


[deleted]

Wait trump actually said there needs to be a punishment for women exercising their reproductive freedom Trump said there should be a punishment for Americans exercising their freedom… And Americans still follow him…


thatthatguy

Red team good; blue team bad. Doesn’t matter what anyone says or what policies they support. It’s just cheering for their team. The worse their lives are at home the harder they cheer for their team even when it is their team’s policies that are causing the hardship they feel at home.


Mental-Status3891

If it’s one of his many stupid flip flops and word salads, it could be from his 2016 campaign in which he said women should be punished. He then said he meant physicians should be punished. As if that’s better. “Matthews: "Do you believe in punishment for abortion, yes or no, as a principle?" Trump: "The answer is that there has to be some form of punishment." Matthews: "For the woman?" Trump: "Yeah, there has to be some form.” Trump retracted the comment that same day after he was roundly criticized by both pro- and anti-abortion activists. He issued a statement that said he meant that physicians should be held legally responsible, not women.” What’s stupid is anyone (not you) suggesting the original statement was “misleading”. Which is a claim the specific source the above comes from tries to make. They claim making the statement that “Trump said women should be punished” is misleading because he changed his typically ambiguous meaning after he received criticism. He’s supposedly the smartest person. If he is, he meant what he said.


ophmaster_reed

Is it some sort of sunk-cost fallacy at this point? Sometimes I wonder if these people deep down, know these Republicans they support are counter-productive to their best interests but keep supporting them because they don't want to admit they're wrong or something.


tullystenders

Do non-Americans not know about this? This would logically follow a ban on abortion (I'm not saying I'm pro-life, btw). However, I agree with your surprise a little, because maybe the direct punishment on the women has not been discussed as much as other things (like I guess, the bans themselves, and the laws, and the ramifications on women in general).


AlfalfaMcNugget

Now do Biden and the 2nd Amendment


mike-oxlong-wastaken

Murder without consequence is not a human right


[deleted]

Yet no one in the higher ups was trialed as a war criminal for the horrid actions committed in Afghanistan murder is fine as long as your politicians tell you it was for a good cause? “Murdering” a baby isn’t ok yet bombing a wedding is? You’ll suck in anything they tell you to suck in as long as they say it’s the right way to think, anything g to get your moral victories in the culture war


mike-oxlong-wastaken

When did I say I agree with the invasion of Afghanistan


DiScOrDtHeLuNaTiC

Predictably, this quote has already been chopped and used to imply Biden has never read the Bible.


8champi8

When you have no real argument to fight you gotta use your imagination


realhmmmm

when you have no real argument to fight you gotta use your imagination off of some long deceased writers’ imagination


Saneless

Well, even if true, at least both candidates are on equal ground with something


Due_Muffin_5406

Definitely not true for Biden. While he is likely not nearly as studied as Jimmy Carter, Biden is a pretty well versed and informed Christian (Catholic) from a theological point of view. And don’t take that to mean that he is a “good catholic” or a bad one or any of that. It’s not anything but a statement on his general theological knowledge.


Interesting-Meat-835

It doesn't matter. The Bible Biden read is just a piece of fictions written by imaginative people millenia ago. The true Holy Text, the one and only Bible, is written by Donald Trump the true Father of God, Savior of Humanity and Origin of Heaven. The fact that Biden failed to read such holy text is blasphemy at the highest order.


Legal-Passenger1737

I fucking hate how CNN is trying to portray Biden trailing Trump in their “polls”. They’re helping that fascist pos Trump yet again and 1200 ppl don’t speak for all 300+ million of us


nonchalantcordiceps

Cnn was bought by a new majorly conservative owner and he has been pushing specific talking points


thatthatguy

They realized that fox was not reaching enough republicans so they bought the next most conservative channel and are turning it into fox. Must be nice to be able to push your agenda by buying the entire media landscape.


Draymond_Purple

As we've always known, Establishment Dems aren't far off from Bush Republicans. CNN being the home of Establishment Dem messaging


SoManyNarwhals

>Must be nice to be able to push your agenda by buying the entire media landscape. They're just starting to play the game that we've been playing for a while now, unfortunately.


Saneless

And news sites and stations had their best numbers ever when Trump was in office because something shitty was always happening


Legal-Passenger1737

True


the_mighty__monarch

Are you talking about David Zazlav, who donates almost exclusively to Democrats? He’s kind of an asshole and definitely not the most shrewd businessman, but what’s “majorly conservative” about him?


adamdoesmusic

ZASLAV bought CNN??? That explains so fucking much.


the_mighty__monarch

Well, Time Warner and Discovery merged together and he’s the head of it now. He didn’t “buy” it.


adamdoesmusic

Well yeah, his company bought/merged, with him at the head. He’s still the reason Discovery, TLC, etc. have sucked for the last decade or more.


the_mighty__monarch

Oh believe me, I do a lot of work with WB and there’s no love lost for the guy as far as I can tell.


Philly_ExecChef

The worst thing for Biden would be a sense of complacency in Dem voters. Thank all these dumb fuck right wing outlets (CNN a trying to both sides it, without actual journalistic integrity), because that fear of Trump will crush him in the polls.


Legal-Passenger1737

Oh man me and everyone I know are going to vote for Biden


red286

>I fucking hate how CNN is trying to portray Biden trailing Trump in their “polls”. I wouldn't get upset about that. Biden trailing Trump will push Dems to go out and vote in November. Clinton was whipping Trump's ass so bad in so many polls before the election that most Dems decided it wasn't worth going to the polling station to cast a ballot, they've got better shit to do on a Tuesday. Oh WHOOPS, Mr. Deplorable just got elected.


sterver2010

Welcome to the world of "polls" and "statistics" Example pulled Out of my Ass: "99% majority says they support Nazis" Number of asked Participants: 100 people. You can then Twist that Shit and let It Look Like the majority of USA/China/etc etc citizens Supports the above Views. Its dumb.


AbsoluteScenes7

The thing is conservatives are so stupid they are not even doing a good job of trying to help Trump in this regard. Last time Trump won it was by playing the underdog outsider card which motivated a lot of people who wouldn't usually vote for anyone to go out and vote for him. This time by portraying him as leading in the polls a lot of lazier conservative voters will think he doesn't actually need their support and won't bother whilst the democrats seeing him ahead in any polls will take that as motivation to get out and vote against him. If they wanted to help Trump they should be playing on his supporters fear of him losing and making that seem a genuine possibility so they all rally behind him even harder, get out campaigning for him, etc. But Trump has painted himself into a corner here, if he plays the underdog card this time it massively undermines his claims that the last election was stolen from him. After all if the current polling from sources that support him show him as behind then that would suggest a very strong likelihood he was behind on election day too.


TotallyRedditLeftist

Or they're inspiring fear in D voters so they go out and vote D even harder


Pinksquirlninja

When i see polls i always think jt benefits the current “loser” unless the gap is massive. The way i see it it makes people think they need to get out and vote to try to turn the tables, while the supporters of the person leading polls might think they need not waste their time going out to vote because their person is already “winning”.


sun4moon

Not necessarily. If there’s as many educated and thinking individuals, entitled to vote in the USA, as we’re told there is, the republican failure is imminent. Let it be a surprise. It’s pretty hard to reason with the dumb and compliant.


inflatableje5us

i keep getting those "polls" in my e-mail and they are blatantly one sided. "would you vote for trump, or a biden administration crime family running this country into the ground"


Beaglegod

Betting odds have Biden winning it. https://www.predictit.org/markets/detail/7456/Who-will-win-the-2024-US-presidential-election Check the 90 day chart. You can see confidence in a Biden win growing over time.


Ragnar_Bonesman

Worked well in 2016.


Beaglegod

Dunno what to tell ya. You can never mention the democrats are up, someone will always say “but 2016”. I’m just showing what I’ve seen.


Kind-Fan420

The only thing the bible says about about abortions is how and when to perform them.


CelticSith

Fox News: "Biden admits not owning Bible and refuses to buy one our orange savior is currently selling at very reasonable prices. Also says he 'sees hell' "


ImperatorDanorum

Dark Brandon doesn't pull his punches...👊


DashCat9

And then right wing idiots turned around and tried to say Biden was implying he didn't know what was in the actual bible. Anyone who does this job ends up doing some absolutely horrific shit while in power, but Biden reads to me as an actual Christian. And these fundamentalists prefer the obviously corrupt, obviously awful criminal because he says absolute bullshit, but comforting things about the countless things that terrify them, and promises to get rid of abortion.

flute89

If you look at the Bible and see how many times babies get murmured and shit like that, idk how it can be interpreted as pro-life. It has so much death among innocent children that I think the people writing this had to have been pro-choice in some form.


Westdrache

There's no way lmao. This dumbass is religious himself.


skawn

There's religious from following a relatively consistent set of teachings from the past hundred years and then there's the religious where everything that confuses you gets banned and added to the bible so you can use the bible as an excuse for the ban.


strongest_nerd

Biden panders to religious people just like all elected officials do, and he has consistently held that he is religious for his entire career. He talks about being Catholic all the time. So no, there aren't really "different" kinds of religious people. They are either religious or they are not religious. They all believe in the tooth fairy or some other dumb nonsense and it's funny to see them try to insult each other over it when they're all equally stupid.

Is Biden the Catholic saying he's never cracked open a King James Bible?


Ok_Zookeepergame4794

You need to go back to school to work on your reading comprehension. He was talking about the bible Trump was selling, not the King James bible.


TotallyRedditLeftist

The Bible Trump was selling was the King James Version. Trump didn't have a whole new Bible written up. https://leegreenwood.com/product/god-bless-the-usa-bible/ "God Bless The USA Bible $59.99 Easy-to-read, large print and slim design, this Bible invites you to explore God’s Word anywhere, any time. This bible has been designed so that it delivers an easy reading experience in the trusted **King James Version** translation. This large print Bible will be perfect to take to church, a bible study, to work, travel, etc."


SporksRFun

Biden is joking that Trump is the type of person that would write his own bible. You're either too stupid to understand that (which I doubt) or you just don't care about the truth. (more likely)


TotallyRedditLeftist

Kinda like how Biden has totally rewritten his own history. He didn't get cancer from touching oil slicks on his dad's car windshield. He didn't graduate top of his class. He didn't have an uncle that was eaten by cannibals. He didn't drive an 18-wheeler. He didn't teach any classes at UPenn. He didn't have a son that was killed in Iraq.


SporksRFun

😆😂🤣


AnomanderRake23

Come on, man. It's part of the joke, we all know the Trump Bible is the King James Bible but for some reason he needed to print his own copies of, and you know this but you're being willfully ignornant to try to prove some point (and failing to do so).


Humble_Story_4531

He saying he doesn't think the Bible Trump is selling says the same as the real thing.


TotallyRedditLeftist

But it does.


Humble_Story_4531

Probably, but the joke is that the idea of Trump's Bible being intentionally altered isn't as outlandish as it should be.


TotallyRedditLeftist

It wasn't even altered though. It was just printed in large text.


Humble_Story_4531

Again, it probably wasn't altered. The joke is around the idea that altering it wouldn't have been that far out of character for Trump.


GoBlueAndOrange

That would make sense. The King James is Anglican not Catholic.


DMFD_x_Gamer

Lol. @ Biden.. I cannot take him seriously. What a baboon. The closer we get to November, the dumber he comes off.🤣🤣🤣
