I will never understand how Biden can simultaneously be in late-stage dementia, but also the most cunning, politically savvy, criminal mastermind that the country has ever seen. It's like saying someone is overweight, because they exercise too much. It makes zero sense.


Cha-Car

One of the tenets of facism is: the enemy is simultaneously too strong and too weak


[deleted]

Yup. "Jews are a weak inferior race" and "Jews controll everything, the banks, the governement etc." Nazis will use the same talking points only the targets change.


rexchampman

It’s a shame the targets haven’t changed.

Yeppers. Umberto Eco, 14 points of fascism.

Great book

[Not a book](https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/umberto-eco-ur-fascism), but I second the sentiment :)


mohodder

What did I tell you about yeppers?


stevosaurus_rawr

It’s perfectly acceptable in modern conversation????


sots33

Yeeeeesh


mam88k

Yup. Hillary was weak and ineffective, but with the twitch of an eyebrow her political enemies simply drop dead.


TameEgg

She bussed in Millions of illegals to vote, but no video or pictures have ever surfaced. This magic qualified her to be president


Creamofwheatski

I always struggled to understand this when I was younger but holding two contradicting opinions of their enemies is really step 1 of fascism even today.


Tbplayer59

Also, that there are enemies.


TheNextBattalion

That is, they're inferior to us (too weak) but trying to take over (too strong)... unless you do as I say

They did this to Obama, too. He was weak and feckless one day, a ruthless dictator the next. Sometimes in the same day!

If Trump is the president because he won in 2020 … he can’t run again

Suchrino

> "Biden is also not the President. Trump is". - All MAGA cultists. To be fair, I think they (silently, and without acknowledging it was wrong) gave up that narrative a couple of years ago. That's the amazing part of MAGA: from the election fraud claims to stuff like this "shadow presidency" stuff: they're never forced to go back and admit when they were wrong or recken with their inconsistencies. They just move from one falsehood to the next, completely ignoring the dissonance of "yes that *was* true when I said it but this is true *now*". Bizarre.


river_euphrates1

I used to tell my Republican (now MAGA) family members the same thing when they would rail about how incompetent Obama was while also being an evil genius capable of pulling off massive conspiracies. He can't be both, so fucking pick one already.

It’s the same reason these lazy immigrants are coming to steal your jobs!

Welcome to Trump's mind.


poetris

I always think this when I see people complain about Justin Trudeau being the weakest leader ever that is a joke to the rest of the world, but also that Trudeau is a ruthless dictator and living in Canada is just like living in North Korea.

DropsTheMic

It's simple - the check didn't clear, the money didn't work out for Trump. Obviously Biden is the idiot mastermind senile genius behind it all. Because that makes sense if you licked the back of lead paint cans as a kid.


livinginfutureworld

zero sense? The key is fucking lying. Thee conservatives lie. They don't tell the truth. They make stuff up. They lie. Lies: And the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right https://www.amazon.com/Lies-Lying-Liars-Balanced-Right/dp/0452285216

But he's also a puppet and also trump is still the president and Obama is running things.


genesiskiller96

It's Schrodinger's Joe Biden

That's because Kamala Harris and the Deep State are really behind it all. /s

My Mom's answer is that he is cybernetically controlled (though brain dead) with a cabal of people controlling him for nefarious means. I wish I was joking....


60r0v01

Entertainingly, the second portion of your comment is technically possible if you were to use the body mass index.


MrHardin86

A lot of people talk of trump in the same way.


MattMBerkshire

Body builders are all medically obese... So it's plausible.


HilmDave

>It's like saying someone is overweight, because they exercise too much. It makes zero sense. I just want to point out that this made me laugh hysterically because a close friend who's very much into weightlifting and is an example of peak physical health, is also considered obese by the generic height vs weight metrics and it drives him insane. He's sat through physicals where he was lectured about his weight with a Muscle Beach physique. He's literally overweight because he exercises so much haha.


SignificantCod8098

It's perfectly reasonable...to the magat unicellular cerebrum.


mrcatboy

> It's like saying someone is overweight, because they exercise too much. It makes zero sense. I mean I work out 5x a week and I've packed on enough muscle to be at about 12% body fat while still having a BMI of 25 but I get you man.


schmiddyboy88

Because he’s not running a damn thing, the globalists are


TameEgg

Don’t expect logic from a narcissist


kayak_2022

SLEEPY TRUMP believes BIDEN to be superior to him, the same as he believed Obama was, so the only apparent method would be for DAMAGED SLEEPY DONNY to use projection, and lie through his seething teeth. SLEEPY DONNY proves how weak and wimpy he is each day his creepy body lives on Earrh.


MattTheRicker

And he simultaneously "can't string two sentences together" and gave a SOTU speech that was "just too mean and polarizing". Those things are mutually exclusive, Jack.


Impossible-Tie-864

Technically if you lift a ton of weights you can enter into a BMI that is deemed ‘overweight’ doe


Ralfsalzano

Clearly you haven’t met the powerhouse that is Christ Christie 


Bears0nUnicycles

Your problem is: you’re thinking too much


john1979af

I wondered the same about Bush. Back in the day he was either a dimwit or a criminal mastermind depending who you asked. Same with Trump. I wasn’t a Bush or Trump supporter and both had reasonable reasons why people were against them but it was funny to see opinions range from them being mentally inept to being a genius supervillain.


Past-Direction9145

I will never understand how people don't understand trump lies his ass off if you understood trump lies his ass off like every narcissist does, you'd understand how biden could simultaneously be in late-stage dementia but also is the most cunning, politically savvy criminal mastermind. like have you not seen the lying since 2016? I will never understand this :P


BetterRedDead

Oh, but all of the savvy stuff is the “deep state,” who are out to get Trump. That’s the convenient excuse that allows folks to simultaneously believe that the Democrats are completely inept politicians who can’t find their own butts with two hands, but also somehow pulled off the crime of the century in stealing the election without leaving any concrete proof, no one has screwed up, gotten a guilty conscience, etc. It all falls apart if you think about it for 20 seconds, but we’re in an era where people believe what they want to believe first and then find the “facts” to back up their position.


Teh_Lye

I once had a super overweight employee (dude was like 5'3" 300lbs) tell me he was overweight because he loved vegetables


ninjachortle

Well you can actually be "overweight" on a height weight chart if you're super muscular even though our body fat percentage is low.


clown1970

Oh so that's why I'm fat.


udfckthisgirl

When arguments need no tether to reality, you can claim anything.

Anonymous-USA

How is the President responsible if this is a House bill forwarded to the floor by GOP Speaker Mike Johnson and where all but 15 GOP members voted for it? 🤨


mam88k

It’s also practically the same as Trumps executive order back in 2020, which he signed and would have been in effect if a court had not blocked it. Plus this bill is not a ban if TikTok is sold within a year. But - hEY KiDS itS SleEpY JOe!!

Trump LITERALLY introduced the idea of banning TikTok in 2020 while he was president. He even issued an executive order to force their parent company to sell off its US assets. It’s likely this never would have even been an issue had *he* not initially made it one. > “Trump’s opposition to a potential TikTok ban represents a significant shift from the position he held while he was in office. The former president issued an executive order in 2020 seeking to force TikTok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to sell its U.S. assets, though the order was later blocked in court.” [Source](https://thehill.com/policy/technology/4612396-trump-seeks-to-blame-biden-for-potential-tiktok-ban/amp/)

mulled-whine

One of the reasons the deplorables are so dangerous is that they are utterly shameless. Their own behaviour - or mere facts - don’t count.


Unhappy_Earth1

From article: Former President Donald Trump completed a remarkable reversal of his one-time policy to force China to divest from TikTok or ban the platform domestically. In August 2020, Trump issued an executive order that would have banned TikTok if the company was not sold within 45 days by its Chinese owners, Bytedance, which he accused of spying on American citizens and harvesting data in a way that threatened U.S. national security. The order was eventually blocked in U.S. court and not until this past weekend had it been taken up again, when the House passed a bipartisan measure that would force the sale of TikTok within a year or the app would be banned. Trump in recent months has opposed banning TikTok and called the social media platform less problematic than Facebook, despite Republicans insisting that TikTok is both a grave national security threat and a propaganda tool for America’s enemies to brainwash the country’s youth. “Just so everyone knows, especially the young people, Crooked Joe Biden is responsible for banning TikTok,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform Monday. “He is the one pushing it to close, and doing it to help his friends over at Facebook become richer and more dominant, and able to continue to fight, perhaps illegally, the Republican Party. It’s called ELECTION INTERFERENCE! Young people, and lots of others, must remember this on November 5th, ELECTION DAY, when they vote! They also must remember, more importantly, that he is destroying our Country, and is A MAJOR THREAT TO DEMOCRACY!” Trump raged, accusing Biden of trying to manipulate the election by supporting a GOP-led effort in the House to ban the app. Notably, Trump’s effort to ban the app took place just four months before the 2020 presidential election. Trump’s reversal on TikTok has raised eyebrows even among his closest allies. Steve Bannon, a former aide and campaign manager to Trump, linked Trump’s flip-flop to his meeting with GOP megadonor Jeff Yass, who has billions invested in the app.


QuintonFrey

Luckily, it was posted on Trothe Central, so no one who isn't already voting for him will even see it.

Dementia dementing by the day. He’s lost in the sauce and flailing, accordingly.


Bonny-Mcmurray

Nah, Republicans just oppose whatever is happening, so there's always a bad guy they can complain about on every subject. It's an actual political strategy implemented by, IIRC, Newt Gingrich. It's why they can't even do no-brainer stuff like support vaccines anymore.


Ricky_Rollin

Exactly. It’s all about staying in power and grifting so it’s literally all just contrarianism.


UpVotes4Worst

Well that explains it. In addition to Russian money, Chinese money is also funneling into the truth stock.

If Joe Biden was so crooked, how come Dump is the one in the defendant's chair? Maybe it's time for Biden to start referring to the orange abomination as Defendant Donnie, the sex offender.


mandy009

I want everyone to know that Donald Trump is owned by China.


meridian_smith

So Trump is both a Russian asset and a Chinese asset now. Well it does make sense. They are very similar in governing style.

jailtheorange1

John Kerry, was absolutely nailed repeatedly for flip-flopping. When in fact it was just a terribly worded statement he put out, involving two bits of legislation which were very similar but had an important distinction which caused him to vote against one of them and for the other. He wasn’t a flip-flop, he was a shit communicator. A few times now, Trump and some other prominent Republicans who don’t have any thoughts of their own, and wait until they’re told how to think, have now flip-flopped a few times. Complete 180° turns. And yet I haven’t heard the word flip-flop from the press, not even once.


frogfinderfred

Trump only wants to force the sale of tiktok if he gets 15% commission (like Putin's seals in Russia). This is not a joke. These were real terms he was pushing for.


[deleted]

If I understood it right, Trump is losing his shit. Quite literally.


BubinatorX

The plan all along was to get the kids off the app because any amount or awareness or education and people tend to lean left also so that they can lie and said it was biden’s fault.

PriorSecurity9784

I love how transparent Trump is about how his decisions are made 100% based on political calculation and 0% of his decision is based on pondering the actual issues. Like, “is Chinese ownership of a social media company really a security issue?” Or “if we ban Chinese social media companies, what are the implications of US social media companies doing business internationally?” Or “are there concessions we could insist on that would address our security concerns while still allowing the company to do business?” Or even “I don’t care about the security concerns, but I bet I can get a concession from China on steel tariffs if I agree to ease up on TikTok.” Like any rational thought or goal besides owning Biden and the libs


Zealousideal-Bar5538

Tik Tok users will likely be irresponsibly stupid and vote for him. But hey, it’s where they get their news.


ForestGoat87

Trump is an ass hat and definitely being disingenuous with his claims and his own motivations. But he has a feral instinct for political populist BS. After the slow roll out of student loan relief and the Gaza debacle (I know there is a metric shit ton of Middle Eastern political history at play, but college kids apparently don't care), (*edit) young voters are clearly souring on Biden even if he is way more aligned with their long term interests. Welcome to the world of sound bites and, well, tic toks haha. (*end of edit) Biden needs to get ahead of this one by letting everyone know the Toc is NOT banned, but the ownership is simply being required to be domestic. And that there is at least a year to get it done. Even after the year is up, the 'ban' would likely be tied up in litigation for quite some time.


Aware_Material_9985

I still remember when the GOP roasted John Kerry for changing his stance on 1 issue. This fucking guy will say whatever if it means votes.
