Blaming Israel for the Islamic Johadist rocket, pouring gasoline on the fire.

He is right about asking for an immediate ceasefire though.

How can you say it is most likely Israel and we need to wait for evidence then say categorically it was an islamist jihad rocket..?

So the pacifist wants an end to fighting and therefore is calling for violence. The sky is falling on my head!

I can't believe he's actually going to seek re-election. Turns out zombies are real after all.
An 80 year old man should not hold arguably the most powerful position on the planet. If he gets re-elected there's a genuine chance he dies while in office.

It's utterly astonishing.

Tbh there's a genuine chance he dies by the end of this week. The level of stress associated with his role isn't healthy for anyone let alone a man of that age.

Imagine country-hopping has a lot to do with it.

Just a note: Jack Posobiec is a white nationalist with a history of posting edited and outright faked Biden videos:

Not saying this one was edited, but I'd personally seek out a different source.

Point taken on the source - was just something shared in a WhatsApp group. I don't use twitter so don't tend to recognise names.

The point stands though as I've seen loads of similar things from Biden from various sources and they can't all be fake. Remember when he randomly signed off his speech with 'God save the Queen man' ?

He's far too old and not fit for such an important role. And it's beyond ridiculous that he's considering running again. The fact the US will likely be choosing between him and a prisoner next year is absurd.

The 'God Save the Queen' thing is something Biden has used for years:

https://www.axios.com/2023/06/18/biden-god-save-the-queen

It's admittedly odd, but he consistently uses it in the same context (basically, "this is bad and we're all ****ed"), so there's internal logic if zero external logic to it.

I will say, that while I didn't want Biden as the nominee and would not be the least unhappy to see (much) younger leadership in the White House, longer video of him consistently shows him to be a far better speaker than short, edited videos. He has a stutter that has worsened with age, but he's quite capable of speaking extemporaneously. He'll also be giving a full address to the nation tomorrow night, if one wants to see him speaking in a longer format.

We'll agree to disagree. I'm aware of his stutter and it's not that I'm referring to but the fact he seems to get confused a lot. If I could be arsed bet I could find loads of examples but I don't actually care that much tbh.

Love the word extemporaneously though so I've learnt something at least.

The democrats don't have anyone else with the capability to beat Trump, who in himself is basically geriatric.

US politics has an absolutely insane problem with elderly politicians clinging to power way beyond their time, Dianne Feinstein who died in office last month aged 90 was still voting up until the date of her death despite her daughter having power of attorney for the last three months of her life, because she clung on she cost the democrats a critical seat on the judicial committee.

Or Ruth Bader Ginsberg who refused to retire from the Supreme Court while Obama could nominate a replacement handing the pick to Trump upon her death, a crucial element to the abandonment of Roe v Wade.

No worries. I'm sure he's slipped a bit given his age, but his strange Bidenisms have been around long enough that they were an issue when he first ran for president...in 1987.
 
That’s the trouble, there is no control over crossings from Bath & North East Somerset whatsoever. Many people from my village go to Midsomer Norton to buy groceries without having to show their passports. I think we should take back control.
This may calm your fears over migratory trends in North East Zummerset. It predicts net migration will fall sharply and return to pre brexshit levels. The right wing rivers of blood rhetoric can be dismissed as the nonsense it is.

He is brain dead and the worst president in history.

Trump was 10000x better than this corrupt evil old ****

Explain why he was 10000 times better? He isn't our President. He says appalling things. He stokes up racism - which you are currently decrying in somebody else two posts up. He is demonstrably corrupt. He has no problem bullying people. He cheats at golf.
