      Biden can do the job. It is just that, and I feel that the campaign ground him down to what he is showing now. Like he hit the wall. It happens to us all. Whether it's young to middle age, or middle age to old.

      Or it could be exactly as foxnews described him. Infirm, and loosing all facilities. I real mess combination of FDR and Wilson.

      But the thing is, that is now old news. He is done. He did his job and is handing it over to the next generation, and to a woman no less. What a 21st century.

        Old news? The man still sits in office. Nothing has been "handed over". Nor likely to be prior to the election without damaging the integrity of the Democrat Party any further.
        Little more than three months until the election and the Dems have no more than an unelected candidate being touted as presumptive with a big question mark for vice president.

          Triggered much, lol

          But you do realize that, the more trump goes on, as he is now worse because he is an old man in cognitive decline. With his talking about sharks, windmills(is that better or worse than Quixote and his windmills?), and old news from 2020; while I won't assure total victory, we are looking at our first woman president. So, it would be handed over, without a 2nd term of trump.

          And I find your concern about integrity hilarious. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black, lol

          Trump is pissing off more and more people. Care about the country, trump just called you stupid. Have a relative that is handicapped, trump just said let them die(though that is an irony all onto itself. Kill the people that are alive, but not the babies that people do not want...).

          Then there is project 2025, which is a whole ball of hate, but I will leave that for another post.

              Ok, going to break this down, as you aren't making any sense and I want to make sure I and others understand you.

              No clue what you are referencing here, but a guaranteed income is a good thing, overall. If you can then make sure that you will get a set amount of income, you can then make sure your needs are met. I am going with a literal meaning.

              Drilling and f4acking are bad. The waste areas that stem from those practices are pretty much unusable and the polution from just the process is unsustainable. It also goes against clean energy, and the sustainability of those sources. Wind, solar, hydrogen and hopefully new sources are the path forward. So a ban is a good thing.

              If you are referring to immigration, then isn't the literal words you are using, exactly what you/trump is campaigning on? Both parties want immigration reform, it is just that the Democrats are trying to work to get it. The republicans are pointing out the problem but that's it. Whether it is 2017-2018, when they had both Houses and the WH, which they did NOTHING, to this past year when a bipartisan bill for said immigration reform was put up but was ended when Trump say it as a win for the Biden admin and we, as a nation are back to square one.

              No, voting for someone who is habitually loosing, the white house, the senate, the House of Representatives, loosing everywhere he endorses; is a perpetual liar, has no morals, no ethics and is a convicted criminal would be an idiot.

                A new study from the University of Pittsburgh and the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) estimates that up to 40 percent of the U.S.’s lithium needs could be supplied by wastewater produced by hydraulic fracturing operations from Marcellus shale gas wells in northern Appalachia.

                      Oh, this one should be read till the end and watch the video attached.


                      I haven't decided if this is unbiased. The author sounds biased against both while promoting Biden.

                        That guy is a Canadian hack. People are NOT feeling or doing better than they were 4 years ago. That is one of the main problems with liberal democrat socialists...they lie.

                          That was a scathing article. The author might not like Trump or the way he wishes to run things(getting rid of the constitution, elections, etc) in a 2nd term, but they absolutely lambasted Biden. It also helps to know that the WSJ is owned by Murdoch, the guy who also owns NY Post and foxnews. And from the fact that whoever is still promoting the laptop and crimes perpetuated, without any evidence of malfeasance , in 3.5 years of Biden's term. All the while near enough stating that the charges against Trump, were all part of a conspiracy to torpedo the candidacy before it even started(which is weird because trump had declared his candidacy near 2 years before the election).

                          It also shows that he(assuming gender), while not pandering to trump in, what I would call, a backhanded compliment, has utter contempt for the democratic party. If it was an opinion article, well, that is his opinion, since he really didn't bring up any facts, other than his apparent fortune telling of how the future is going to go, with the various calls of what he had said would happen.

                          If that is your opinion or unbiased, I would love to know what biased looks like, seriously....

                              I try to present multiple views. As far as bias, there's a simple definition. (analog?)
                              There's a fork in the road, I can go left or right. I'd like to go left, but I can be convinced to go right. That's a bias.
                              If I say I'm going left and nothing you say will change that, that's prejudice.

                                9k, I think..

                                A fork in the road is direction, if taken literally. Now I personally tend to go down the path least traveled. Same proverbial fork, but one that doesn't have a bias to my views. As if I chose to only go down a path predetermined by viewpoints, then it would be neither left or right(which I believe you are trying to shoehorn in a political spectrum), as I am not making a choice, only viewing either as the best fit, as it were.

                                In your model, you are absolutely biased, as you will go down the right path, even though you are "curious" about the left, but have to be overly convinced to go AGAINST your own bias, to go to the right. You are conflating the bias and prejudice, as they are the same. You PRE-JUDGE that the right path is what you will always take, so your bias is to the right. The left could be interesting and different, but have to go against your own judgement or "BIAS", in order to take it.

                                Yea, it was a bunch of word salad, trying to sound deeper than you really are.

                                Now, if you were to take the underdog, or least popular view, even though it would conflict with your own views, then that would go against any biases. Like, for example.

                                Personally, I want everyone to be able to marry, and have that legally and binding as the law allows. In a discussion, I would defend the view that marriage is only between a man and woman. My bias should be to defend my personal beliefs, but I am taking thr other side because it is less represented. I do this, because I m playing Devil's Advocate, and wish to see all the possibilities from all views, in whatever endeavor I am using it in.
