Dope:There are only two types of people who don’t believe Biden is cognitively impaired - those that get their news from the Baghdad Bobs in the left wing media bubble and the nascent paranoid sociopaths who think that the other side wants to install a dictatorship and somethingsomethingsomething.

More blowing smoke, distraction, misdirection, straw men, outright lies, and the simple reason is he has no info, etc., on Biden, but there;s loads of cognitive decline info on Trump. I'm so used to it I take it for granted and don't bother following up. I had to do some outside sealing and painting for my wife so I could get back to fixin my sprinkler system - no time for the obvious.

We've built up a lot of international goodwill that can be trashed if Trump gets another term. I have no faith he'll honor any international commitment, and he has no real idea bout foreign policy, and let's face it if Project 2025 gets even half of what it's planning. it will take decades to recover - and there's the prospect we might not recover. This could be the beginning of the decline - even though the economic engine is running solidly with a slight concern about inflation, the perception is that it isn't. We need to get parties out of the housing market so we can deliver basic housing at an affordable price. We need somehow to drive a stake through the heart of MAGA, which is threatening to destroy America, and get back a sane GOP. The key may be housing - I'm willing to give it a shot.
