Far out.

Just watched his first presser.

To say the dude didn't look a bit dodge in the old compos mentis department, would be a bit of real time revisionism.

What is it with the US and (apart from Obama, who didn't really do anyrhing), weirdo prez's?

And how do these people manage to make so much cash to get the job in the first place?

Seems you are so inured to Trump's method of speaking that you have little memory of what a normal person prepared to answer questions in a reasonable and rational manner actually looks and sounds like. A person who, by the way, has some minor issue with his speech due to a lifetime battle to overcome a stutter. Perhaps you could provide us with a quote of anything Biden said in that presser that was not reasonable and rational - perhaps something that would be generally considered to be "wierdo".

There are some, northern and southern hemisphere residents both, in this very forum whose posts appear more to "look a bit dodge in the old compos mentis department" (ie; less than completely aware of reality) than anything Biden said or did in yesterday's presser
 
I watched or listened to most of the press conference.

He did fine. Nothing particularly memorable in his performance, but just a solid “State of the COVID” address followed by fairly forthcoming answers to some difficult questions.

But again, I’m surprised - though I shouldn’t be - at how Trump supporters view the world through a completely different filter and do seem to see an alternative universe. I see it on my Facebook feed from otherwise nice folks. I may grab a screen shot of some comments without going to the hassle of anonymizing them. If this is verboten, maybe an admin can pull the image and I apologize in advance.

Yup, just a bog standard presidential press conference. Not even very interesting. Many people (and not just trumpites) seem to have an emotional investment and see what they want to see in lieu of reality.
 
Far from the most vicious I came across, but along these lines...

You're right, he didn't say "drink bleach", he suggested injecting disinfectant.

Just as ignorant and bonkers in my opinion.

And several people did, indeed, drink bleach.

The interesting thing is I saw a piece, in The Guardian, I think, that reported that a few days before the press conference, a Florida-based crackpot who actually promotes the consumption of industrial bleach as a miracle cure, had contacted the white house about his products. It seemed very likely that this was the source of Trump's misinformation about internal use of bleach.

It's hilarious. Biden has his first real press conference, shows up with a binder full of questions that will be asked, by who and the answers to them, and all the Bidenites can do in this thread is bash Trump.

Except that isn't what happened at all.

He had briefing notes, he had a list of people to call on, but he had no idea what questions would be asked by whom.

I didn't realize at first that that post was meant to sound bad for Biden. It started out like another post of praise for him, by comparison with his predecessor's illiteracy. Then I got farther along, realized it was veering off from that, went back to the start and noticed who the author was and figured out that it was actually treating literacy as a bad thing. :boggled:

The conservatism I was raised on didn't always trust intellectual elitists who looked down on us and acted like they had an ax to grind against us, but it did at least recognize that it was good to master basic tools of how the world works, like reading & writing, and get whatever other training & education it took to develop yourself and get good at doing things. Now they've been so Trumped that even the most basic sense of competence at anything in any way is bad; the only way to be good is to be so completely hopeless at ever achieving anything for yourself that your continued existence depends entirely on leeching off the people who can do the basic life things that you proudly can't.

But ChrisBFRPKY is here, reading & writing away; (s)he really needs to do something about that. That makes you a step better than Trump, and better means worse, so you need to go find a way to lose those abilities and hopefully become as pitiful & pathetic as him!

Yay, instead of just obviously stupid & insane, he went with so obviously stupid & insane that it was used to threaten somebody & take a hostage in "Terminator 2".

I saw that, too, much as I seem to recall that the contact was in letter form. It's possible, but unlikely as more than a potential seed. Trump seems to generally be rather adverse to reading, but if there was a bunch of praise in it, it's possible that he might have read it, provided that it actually reached him in the first place. With all that said, the things that he said seem to be explained quite adequately with a look at what had been said shortly before him about killing the virus on outside surfaces and the board about such that he was looking at.

Oooh! A Gotcha! Just imagine having to search back 23 years to find a single example of a politician telling a lie.

I do note that your posts over the last 4 years are peculiarly lacking of any similar and easily found examples of Trump telling lies. Almost as if supporting a lying politician is not really an issue for you? But gotchas? Hey, they are important.

You think Biden has fundamentally changed? Is that your argument? That he's a much better man now than he was then? I'm really curious about this theory of transformation.

"Let he who is with out sin......." Given your support of a president whose statements were/are predominantly lies, why would you even care if a politician told a lie way back when? Is there really more to this in your mind than a failed gotcha?

Was Biden lying there? I thought is was more about the "singing his own praises and telling everyone how great he thinks he is" part.

Of course, there's a fundamental difference between listing your verifiable academic achievements, and just rambling on about how you "know more about "subject" than anybody," while clearly demonstrating that you know nothing about the subject, while still demanding praise.

Even their gotchas just prove how much better Biden is than Trump.

Go ahead, Trumpies, keep proving that the US electorate made the right choice in November.
