Mike Luckovich for November 23, 2023

This seems, from polls, to be a real thing. Stunningly wrong!

Trump younger? Biden old? Biden is only slightly older (in years) than Trump, but the trim, slim, active bicycle-riding Biden is much more youthful in physical shape and in far better health than Trump’s cholesterol-clogged obese body. And mentally? Biden is sharp, articulate, can speak at length on any issue without a teleprompter and has traveled to two active war zones in just the past few months (no other president in history has ever traveled to active war zones where American troops were not on the ground) and negotiated the truce between Israel and Hamas to pause for a prisoner swap and humanitarian relief aid.

In contrast is Trump’s incoherent babbling and complete disconnect from reality. Here are just a few of the amazing NEW Trump reality disconnects in recent weeks:

• “Biden will lead us into World War TWO.”

• “I beat OBAMA in 2016.”

• “JEB invaded Iraq.”

• “Windmills are driving whales crazy.”

• Couldn’t tell the difference between Sioux City, Iowa and Sioux Falls, South Dakota

• Supposedly great businessman “can’t recall” the most basic facts about his own business, or the most simple, fundamental basis of business principles he supposedly learned at the prestigious Wharton Business College — and, it turns out his entire business model was based on fraud and falsification of financial information

• “Kim Jong Un leads 1.4 billion people…” (China has 1.4 billion people; Kim Jong Un leads North Korea, which as 26 million)

• “General Miley [the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff — the nation’s top military advisor that TRUMP APPOINTED] should be executed for treason.” (What can you expect from a traitor president who would whip up an angry mob against his own hand-picked vice-president who then erected a gallows and shouted calls to hang him?)

Biden for president.

How many non 70 year are as competent as biden?

Tell me

…but clearly not wiser.

Sorry, sir. While I think that you pegged some of the dumber voters, the idea is scary.

If anyone is as ignorant as the voter depicted in this cartoon, I would hope they not bother to vote in any elections.

Hitler was young, too. He was only 56 when he died in the bunker. Being younger should never outweigh integrity of which, Trump has none.

DD lives in a fairyland that doesn’t exist. Sharp? Yeah, like a marble. At least the other side doesn’t pretend Trump is perfect, but his policies were much better for the country. His personality, not so much, but for the sake of ALL citizens, he would be a better choice.

Funny, I’d have thought Lucko would know what democracy means. But apparently not, since he seems to think it’s equivalent to Biden.

We are not a democracy. But for some reason democrat moor on’s keep thinking this.

How about vote for a sane defender of democracy?

Meh, I am so over the duopoly. And the specifically anti-democratic nature of the presidential election process that is still in the Constitution like a tumor.

In 2000 I wrote in Mickey Mouse on my ballot because the party nominee choices were Dumb or Dumber. In 2024 it looks like the choices will be Criminally Insane or Joe von Hindenburg….it looks like Mickey’s getting another vote.

A lot more active, at least he can walk up Airforce one’s stairs.

The act of a dipsh#t.

Guessing crazy takes years off

The Republican police state concentration camps will only broadcast lying Fox propaganda to its prisoners.

A question that I never see

1- Trump gets elected for a second term

2- At the end of it, will he just walk away?

trump has laid out his agenda should he win in 2024. He will never leave office (fortunately he is an obese, unhealthy geezer). He has already declared he will:

A mass deportation operation. A new Muslim ban. Tariffs on all imported goods and “freedom cities” built on federal land.

Trump would try to strip tens of thousands of career employees of their civil service protections. That way, they could be fired as he seeks to “totally obliterate the deep state.” Beyond the firings, he wants to crack down on government officials who leak to reporters. He also wants to require that federal employees pass a new civil service test.

Trump says he will institute a system of tariffs of perhaps 10% on most foreign goods. Penalties would increase if trade partners manipulate their currencies or engage in other unfair trading practices.

Trump claims that even before he is inaugurated, he will have settled the war between Russia and Ukraine. That includes, he says, ending the “endless flow of American treasure to Ukraine” and asking European allies to reimburse the U.S. for the cost of rebuilding stockpiles.

Trump says he will ask Congress to pass a bill establishing that “only two genders,” as determined at birth, are recognized by the United States.

As part of his crackdown on gender-affirming care, he will declare that hospitals and health care providers that offer transitional hormones or surgery no longer meet federal health and safety standards and will be blocked from receiving federal funds, including Medicaid and Medicare dollars.

He would push Congress to prohibit hormonal or surgical intervention for transgender minors in all 50 states.

Under the mantra “DRILL, BABY, DRILL,” he says he would ramp up oil drilling on public lands and offer tax breaks to oil, gas, and coal producers. He would roll back Biden administration efforts to encourage the adoption of electric cars and reverse proposed new pollution limits that would require at least 54% of new vehicles.

Yeah, vote for Trump because he’s younger. Last week the most substantial thing he talked about at Ft. Dodge was golden showers.

Yes trump is much younger mentally like 2yo

One is a criminal, what’s to decide?

Why choose the one who can speak coherently ad lib?

Absolutely!

We do not have to vote for either party’s candidate if we find them both stunningly unacceptable. Obviously, a third-party vote is a mere protest vote, but it beats not voting at all. A Perot vote was the best indication in my voting lifetime that a huge number of Americans did not want the democrat Slick Willie or the GOP candidate Daddy Bush.

Ever wonder who’s actually clicking “like” on the comments from the trolls? Hover your cursor over the little number on the right and you’ll see that it’s all their fellow denizens of the trollheim in the Kremlin cellar.

For those pro-Trump voter who have been saying that Biden is too old… remember, Trump will be even older in 2025 than Biden was in 2021.

Well, democracy is 250 years old

What is so weird but mostly true is if you change your sources of news the way you think will also change, especially when it comes to what you think about political candidates

It’s too bad age as a respected resource of wisdom has become so degenerated. I see many of the old candidates out there that have paid their dues, experienced life, learned many disciplines,and are the best ones to lead the nation. And, I see younger candidates that are idiots.

Are people really that dumb? … Sigh, yeah, some of them really are.

As, for me, I’ll stick with the wise old man that is Joe Biden and not the wise guy Orange Traitor (DJT).

I forgot that you can only be a part of Democracy if you are in lock step with big government.

Why do RWNJs always struggle with facts, evidence, context, and critical thinking? Maybe that to-do list is too long for them?

a so-called man who disdains exercise, vegetables etc., fueled by diet coke of all things, clearly has hardening of brain arteries, rageaholic, doesn’t have a stroke and die in a pool of filth — you know I could almost believe in a god, who hates America
