I feel secure again, insofar as domestic policy including the economy, and also foreign policy than I ever felt with Trump or his Republican predecessors. And I'm a former Republican, who will still contribute to the occasional local Republican candidate. It's not just Trump vs. Biden. It's also the people they surround themselves with. In Trump's case, it's largely a bunch of clowns, towards the end of his presidency. All of the adults had left the room...
I saw a report years ago, around the 2016 election, that stated that if that million (or however much it was) he was given by his father (initially) had been immediately invested in an S&P indexed fund, it would have been worth about 1.75 times what he reported his wealth to be at that time. I didn’t dig deeper - I think it was an article on BI.
His niece details it in her book. It would be many hundreds of millions today, basically stolen by taking advantage of his father's dementia. (He's never come close to a billion.)
I understand that, but Biden’s handling seems to be more than what I have seen with other presidents. Obama, Clinton, and Trump didn’t come across as having this level of handling. Maybe the people doing it are really bad at it or maybe Biden does need more help.
because that is what the message is.
Once again, referencing Trump doesn't negate what I have said. He's an out of control goon. You won't see me defending him about anything. If you need handling, as you said, because of your age you shouldn't be in the job.
I hadn't thought about him baiting the DA. It would be on brand for him. The DA will look weak in NY if he doesn't arrest him if he can. Legally there is nothing to stop a felon from still running for president as far as I know.
If you want to judge Biden's competence and level of intelligence, it should be in a live situation where he is having to think on his feet -- like in a debate. It's about the only reason to watch a debate.
he’s flinging crap on the wall. it’s what he always does and really all he knows how to do. sadly, it works a lot of the time.
He's mainly trolling for more donations from the uninformed.
I have a real problem with the terms "handled" and "handlers." As I've pointed out, I'm 3+ years older than Biden. What I do all day long is pretty much advise other people. I don't think of it as "handling" them. I think he has advisors and good ones, unlike the later Trump. What I detect here is prejudice against Biden because of his low-key speech and plain old ageism. He pretty much settled the issue of physical stamina with his train trip to Kyiv and back. People age at different rates, sometimes radically different rates, and chronological age doesn't necessarily equate to actual ability...
They are not deciding anything - they are pushing the legislation that ALEC tells them to, at least in the case of Republicans. Maybe that’s why Republican control of Congress and the WH brought about mostly rolling back prior legislation as opposed to new legislation that actually moved our country forward.
