His/her post made no sense in relation to what it’s replied to and I’m asking what it means.  Your post is exactly what you are trying to decry in ‘wear down the conversation’.  Game playing  ? 

 

And there it is.

 

It beggars belief that you wouldn't know the reference, or why it's directly applicable to the conversation. But rather than discuss what is an uncomfortable truth about trump for people trying to claim some kind of cognitive impairment on behalf of President Biden, we have this attempted tangent.

 

No one is fooled by this.

Hey...it's all he's got.  Right wing propaganda tells him Biden is failing mentally so he's gotta believe it and tell everyone about it.....meanwhile.....What was it.....Man, Woman, Toaster, Computer, voter fraud?

Man, woman, lost the Senate, lost the White House, lost Georgia.

Whatever you all are talking about, I am glad it’s so enjoyable for you to derail threads.  Still doesn’t change the reality that China Joe’s cognitive ability is rapidly declining and he most likely won’t be the 2024 Dem nominee which is what was being posted about until...well you know

Yiippeee.....The one with the most Trump stink on him is probably going to run.

And you don't seem to care that trump was clearly in cognitive decline, as evidenced by man, woman, cofveve. 

 

So we get the partisan nature of the concern, but it's kinda on deaf ears.

Valid points all around Knapp.

 

For Biden, his mental state doesn't worry me going into 2024. He's smart enough - unlike Trump - to put intelligent individuals in charge of our institutions. 

 

His overall health, for anybody, running for President going into their 80s is a concern.

 

My personal hope is that Biden runs again in 2024, as incumbents have a huge advantage in elections. He should then step down if needed after that if necessary. Win reelection and then decide what to do.

I posted this in the other thread about GOP disinformation.  But it also fits here.  I would not be surprised if Tucker Carlson makes a move for the 2024 nomination.  He has the media skills, the platform on Fox, and the far right street cred to unite Trump's base under himself.  He also isn't tied down by previous votes in Congress or having to make decisions about covid as governors have had to do.   Thus he can wiggle his way whichever way he chooses on an issue.  At this point, I could see Trump tipping his hat towards Carlson or DeSantis if he decides not to run.

Tucker Carlson has taken President Trump's place in the media firmament.

 

Is that a compliment or a condemnation? Depends on your POV.

 

But the similarities between the two men are striking. Every weekday, Carlson throws bombs, makes online memes, offends millions of people, delights millions of others, taps into White male rage and resentment, stokes distrust of Big Tech and the media, coarsens the public discourse, never apologizes for anything and -- perhaps most importantly -- sets the GOP's agenda.

 

Sounds like a recently retired president, right? Carlson starts fires, stirs outrage, and stokes Fox's ratings, all with Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch's encouragement. "In some ways, he's smarter than Trump," S.E. Cupp said on "Reliable Sources." Her impression is that the Murdochs "are relieved that the GOP no longer wants to tackle substance and policy and just wants to live in culture wars," i.e. Carlson's speciality.

 

I led Sunday's show with this discussion because Carlson is causing the same debates that Trump did, and the same predicaments for newsrooms: When, and how, and how much, to cover his claims. Don't forget about the prospect of "Tucker 2024..."

One of the people who inspired this "Tucker is the new Trump" argument was DC Examiner exec editor Seth Mandel, who tweeted the other day, "Tucker's baiting/trolling ability is Rodman-esque. The reason he won't be the GOP nominee is because he doesn't want it enough to run. Yet. He's the only one who in any way resembles an heir to Trump."

 

When folks replied to Mandel and said he was underestimating Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Mandel said "they're missing the point: DeSantis isn't an heir to Trumpism. He's out there governing, and doing a pretty solid job in a difficult environment. Tucker is a media figure who can get everyone talking about him." Just like Trump...

 

 >> Jennifer Mercieca's reaction to my Sunday segment: "Tucker absolutely occupies the same media space as Trump and has been the most successful at using his same demagogic strategies."

Dwayne Johnson will do what the American people want. In a preview of an upcoming Sunday Today with Willie Geist interview, the 48-year-old actor reveals that he's open to running for president.

 

"I do have the goal to unite our country," he says. "I also feel that, if this is what the people want, then I will do that."

 

Whether or not Johnson makes a run for the White House, he notes that he is "passionate about making sure our country is united."

"A united country, as we know, is its strongest," he says. "I want to see that for our country.

As it was foretold. 

 

 

President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho is a supporting protagonist in the film Idiocracy. He is the President of the United States, and a former pro wrestler and porn star. He delivers over-the-top, vulgar speeches when he addresses the nation, and gets people's attention by firing a machine gun into the air.

Trump wishes he was half the man that President Camacho was.
