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.
A proven liar here's some of the most recent. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/09/17/politics/fact-check-donald-trump/index.html
A proven misogynist demeaning women.

Can only hope the upcoming trials bring about his downfall.
 
Welcome to the post truth era
I'm well aware and use a number of verification and media fact checks. The doctored Biden clip was posted on twiXter by Jack Posobiec senior editor of human events.

I use these amongst others to fact check the fact checkers. https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/ and BBC verify which had an update of hospital tradegy on the news this morning https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67144061
 
Yeah like I said I didn't check. That's the Internet for you!

My main point holds though. He's far too old to be leader of arguably the most powerful nation in the world.
True, and Trump too. Vice President Kamala Harris would take over should Joey B become unable to continue despite discredited narrative saying she is ineligible because her parents were “foreign nationals.” https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/...resident-despite-misleading-posts-2023-10-18/

Yeah as Shandy said there's a big problem with age of politicians across American politics.

Pelosi is another one seeking re-election, will be 87 at end of next term! It's absurd.
 
Also for someone who's usually so against "mainstream media" - they really started churning out that Corbyn was anti semitic during his election campaign.
I remember reading, and regret not bookmarking it for future reference, that during all his years as a MP, the first time it was claimed that Corbyn was anti semitic was after he was elected leader of the Labour Party.
IF this is true it emphasises that despite his previously well documented history of supporting the causes of the likes of Palestine and Palestinians the media weren’t bothered about whether or not he was/is anti semitic, until it suited their agenda.
It also raises the question as to how did he avoid being accused of anti semitism during those previous decades, if the belief was there.
That Corbyn has been given so much support from some of the Jewish community in his constituency just raises the question as to whether or not anyone really understands what is or isn’t anti semitic and how much is decided by political affiliation.

Look at this violence! Why would anyone listen to him?!
Anybody that is still using the already disproved anti semitic claims against Corbyn do me a favour because I know, they're either trolling or too stupid for words so it makes a handy way of identifying people not worth debating with.

The right wing press did a hatchet job on him and unfortunately mud sticks with a lot of the gullible UK electorate.
