Healthy people do not commit murder. And they especially do not commit serial mass-murder/genocide! Even injuring someone causes extremely painful feelings of guilt and sorrow in healthy people.
So unless you want to demonstrate your own psychopathology, you have to decide whether Biden is senile, or is a psychopath expressing the life-or-death power he has always wanted to fully express but never could because of not wanting to end up dead or in prison.
The US is an imperialist country and has been for a long time: depending how you think about it, perhaps since the founding—the expansion of the country can be seen as a kind of internal imperialism. After WWII the US set out to replace the older European imperial systems, without actually annexing territory. Russia, in the form of the USSR, tried to maintain its sphere of influence in eastern Europe, thus setting up a conflict of imperial systems. Some parts of the left tried to gloss over the brutality of Russian imperialism, just as most parts of the mainstream in the West tried to gloss over the brutality of Western imperialism. Many nations or nationalist movements saw an alliance with Russia (or with China) as a way to oppose Western imperialism. In my younger days, back in the 1960s, it was right to oppose the brutality of US imperialism in Vietnam (and elsewhere). US imperialism is still brutal, but so is Russian imperialism, as we see by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. What’s the proper response? It’s a tough question, and I don’t pretend to have the answers. I’m opposed to imperialism of all kinds.
Understanding that Ted would never vote for trumpster fire, while he creates false equivalencies with his critiques of Biden, thus, effectively supporting a neutering of discernment, all in the name of childish idealism, he throws me when he does these pieces………………………………………Caught Friday’s DMZ, the dynamic duo are still not acknowledging that they got the Biden/Ukraine thing whole A$$ wrong. I’m not holding my breath for that one; it’s not their style, you know, admitting when they’re not correct after they moved all their chips into that play, I mean their chips, their shirts, their shoes, their watches, their underwear…………….
Kamala vs. Nikki. Why must we endure the old farts Biden & Trump? It would be a much more interesting race and a better indicator of which is the stronger political candidate.
We know that everything in cels is satire because 1. Trump is doing things he never does (express remorse, read); 2. he’s using words he never heard of; 3. couldn’t pronounce if he had; 4. wouldn’t know how to use if he had heard of them and knew how to pronounce them; 5. showing humility in hating his “public persona”; 6. expressing actual ideas that 7. have nothing to do with him. This is pure fantasy.
Biden has done nothing to indicate any semblance of senility. He’s an old man with a stuttering problem. He makes mistakes and sometimes forgets details. Like all of us.
Professional criminal Trump’s embrace of war criminal murderer Putin and his threat to end NATO and Ukraine make Trump a traitor to western civilization.

Well the cartoon is obviously false. The bottom text, though, it obviously true.

Nothing senile about Biden… just listen! Reporters asked what he was giving up for Lent and he answered “You guys”!

It’s been 30 years since I’ve heard this Heinlein reference. And I’d just as soon go another 30 years before hearing another one.

The Trump Putin traitor party want to turn the USA into anti gay racist Russia.
Republicans give aid and comfort to dictators and the enemies of the USA.

Michael Ramirez is a much better artist and while I often do not agree with him I do respect his opinion. Rall not so much.
