Ya i check sites like that regularly and rotate my passwords on the regular due to that.

Doesn't really matter if that is more age related confusion or just straight up stupidity, but it was obviously something that greatly affected Trump.

That disinfectant speach was truly something I didn't expect from a president. I could forgive anyone at that age with no medical knowledge. Still would think they are an idiot. Or maybe not? https://www.politifact.com/article/2...disinfectant-/

This one was really bad though:
The population number he gave Seoul, Korea was 38M ! no city has that many people. Every idiot knows that. That's unforgivable as a president.

I have just looked at some data. Tokio has in fact 38M and i didnt know a f about it. Seoul has 10M btw. So trump wasn't as dumb as I thought, I was.

That's it! I need to stay of the internet.

"Here is a list of the top ten most populated cities in the world:
Tokyo (Population: 37,435,191)
Delhi (Population: 29,399,141)
Shanghai (Population: 26,317,104)
Sao Paulo (Population: 21,846,507)
Mexico City (Population: 21,671,908)
Cairo (Population: 20,484,965)
Dhaka (Population: 20,283,552)

São Paolo does not have 26 million people, more like 13 million. Tokyo does not have 37 million people...I'm pretty sure the rest of that list is wrong but I'm stopping here

FWIW, they're almost certainly metro area populations, not the population of the actual cities.

Yes they are counting the metro area or metro population all in.

We do it too in Berlin, makes us look bigger.

That is common practice imo. Ie. Guadalajara does it too. The second biggest city in Mexico only has 1.5M people. Their metro population is 5M. Since it all evolved around the cities I think it's a fair practice to say they have more than 1.5M.

It gets too f expensive in cities like tokio, the people I am pretty sure are commuting and looking for less expensive places outside the cities original lines. So the cities are growing but cant in a way. On the map it shows up as one f crowded place. So I would call it a city.

This is wrong Inso. Someone bought a data set of Grindr customers that had user location info. That person sifted through and found an ‘anonymous’ grinder account that was constantly scrolling through dudes from the grounds of a church. From this guys church provided house to be more specific.

That episode was much more sinister than someone stealing the guys phone. Also the people who released the gay priest grinder story say they have more where that came from.

We need to start evaluating Biden on his own merits and not just purely “he is not Trump.”

“He is not Trump” is sufficient to vote for him but we need to demand more from our presidents.

What sea change are you hoping to see? Biden is catching a great deal of heat right now from the mainstream media.

Trouble is that 'he is not trump' was both sufficient and as good as it got

Seems like we are. He got credit for the good stuff he's done (Vaccine roll out, Covid relief packages, infrastructure) and gotten quite a bit of blame for the bad (Afghanistan, Delta surge). The thing with Biden's agenda is it's very popular with 60%+ approval if you leave out the fact that it's Biden's policy. It might seem a bit jarring because Trump often was spending his very limited energy trying to implement really unpopular policies (Muslim ban, Obamacare repeal) so the evaluations were adjusted accordingly. But I don't think Biden is getting graded on a huge curve because of Trump. He's just been focused on doing stuff people want.

Also Trump thread is still getting a lot more traffic.

Biden himself is guilty of using Trump to make himself look better, for example, by insisting Trump's deal made the chaos of pullout from Afghanistan inevitable.

He forgot where his troops are?

Quote:

Biden: “We don’t have military in Syria to make sure that we’re gonna be protected.”

Quote:

Roughly 900 U.S. troops, including a number of Green Berets, will remain in Syria to continue supporting and advising the Syrian Democratic Forces fighting the Islamic State — the same role they have played since the American-led intervention in 2014, according to a senior Biden administration official

Seriously though because this is in the context of the ongoing military disaster in Afghanistan. He was saying ‘we can be safe from terrorists in Afghanistan without troops because we stay safe from Syrian terrorists without troops’.

Except we don’t. We have troops in Syria.

Did he not know US troops are in Syria? Or did he literally forget? Or in the heat of the moments a politician with 50 years of experience misspoke. Someone defend that, what’s the honest explanation

If the budget resolution fails in the House next week this dude Biden is a failure until he proves otherwise.

He’s already proven that he’s a failure. The Dems are terrified about 2024.

I suspect the Dems are more terrified about 2022.

Dems might be okay by 2024. Almost no chance Biden seeks re-election, and almost no chance Harris is nominated.

Harris has to be the presumptive nominee imo.

I'd like to say that's crazy as it's a sure loss but then remind myself that this is the party that put all its chips in the middle for HRC and then Biden.
So Harris probably is the most logical.

When you tell so many lies, he probably forgot that troops were officially there.
He knew they were there but can't keep track of which countries we're in that the public is supposed to know.

She's at .30c on predictit, Biden at .38c.

Buttigieg seems like a good buy at .07 though.

She's all bluster with little substance. Even (especially?) people who work for her reportedly can't stand her.

On a side note, wasn't she Willie Brown's mistress?

Reuter's Fact Check Synopsis:

VERDICT
Missing context. Though Willie Brown was legally married when he and Kamala Harris dated in the mid-1990s, he had been estranged from his wife for more than a decade.

Mr. Biden's first seven months in the White House is almost certainly the worst first year of any president since Hoover in 1929.

We have the worst border crisis in the history of our country.

We have arguably the worst foreign policy disaster since the 1970's.

We have a President who can barely read a teleprompter.

It's been said that in a democracy the people get the government that they deserve.

As a nation, we certainly don't deserve anybody better.

Also, we don't live in a democracy as any conservative will proudly tell you. I mean, sure we're on the spectrum of democratic governments but we have a system that really makes it hard for the average voter to have their concerns addressed. So we may get the government we deserve or we may just need to deal with the corrupt system that was handed to us, like most people in the world.
