He is 74, where the hell does he find the energy to campaign like he does. Love him or hate him you have to in awe of his energy levels.

Avoiding $400 million of debt due from foreign actors in the next few years does that to you. Better than Metamucil.

 

[Linda_Lovelace]

Really, I saw him yesterday buying a milkshake with his grand daughter......

Did not go out, Friday, Sat, Sun, now in his basement until the debate.

 

[Linda_Lovelace]

Compulsory drug testing, a lovely hair test will do.

He actually wanted both candidates to be drug tested before the debate.

 

[Baltimore Jack]

It still amuses me that RWNJ find the need to lie so much

Particularly considering how easy it is to Fact Check them

I think, they think, we are as stupid as their followers

If he wins, analysts are going to regard Biden's campaign as a masterpiece.

Oh really sweetie? If you hadn't posted anything we might have thought you had something valuable to contribute.

No he didn't, all he wanted to do was spread a Biden on drugs narrative which in keeping with almost everything he's touched in the last four years didn't work.

Goodness, a Covid negative test on the day of debate would have been nice...

Unbelievable that in America of all places 1 in 10 don’t have enough to eat!

This is something that some of us have been screaming from the rooftops for decades (long before the goose l’orange infested the White House). There is no clearer demonstration of the gross limitations of capitalism, than American poverty.

The US has the worst child poverty - by far - of any developed country in the world, and has had for years.

But the US has been the richest country in history - by far - for well over a century now.

So it's not a lack of money at the root of the problem, and it’s not a lack of time. Over a hundred years is ample time for any determined effort to take effect.

And it’s sure not a lack of dedication to the capitalist cause! Although there is a case to be made that there are purer forms of capitalism than the American model, there is no questioning their obsessive dedication to what they call capitalism; extending even to violently toppling foreign governments that happen to adhere to a different economic model.

So given we can't question the resources, time, and ideological dedication the US has had to throw at the problem, it can only be concluded that the cost of capitalism, US-style, is a permanent and unacceptable number of gravely malnourished children. There is no other conclusion that can be reached.

Capitalism is not inherently evil. There’s still a case that, as Churchill put it, it’s the least-worst of all systems.

But that doesn't mean we shouldn't examine the gross flaws revealed by the US experience, and call for some desperately needed adjustments, without right wing zombies on here going LOL LOL LOL kum-ba-yah lefties fnirr fnirr.

These people are idiots.

And they have shown they are idiots because the system they mindlessly barrack for has been shown to have these permanent flaws in it.

The left doesn't have all the answers, god no, but anyone criticising progressive ideas out of hand, as many on here do, is saying they're OK with undernourished children.

Disgusting that he is trash talking Dr Fauci.......So so wrong.
His ignorance and vile dialogue is criminal.

Corticosteroids.

Ever given Prednisone to your kid for asthma? It gets them breathing again but they climb the walls for the next three hours.

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Yeah, then he got Covid and he's been stoked to the eyeballs on the contents of an entire Chemist Warehouse ever since, and unsurprisingly has gone quiet on further calls for drug testing.

He has since apologized and told the news outlet: "I made an embarrassingly stupid mistake, believing I was off-camera.

"I apologize to my wife, family, friends and co-workers.”

Toobin added: "I believed I was not visible on Zoom.

"I thought no one on the Zoom call could see me. I thought I had muted the Zoom video."

Toobin has not posted to Twitter for approximately one week and his Conde Nast email has been disabled, according to the report.

Anti-Trump CNN pundit Jeffrey Toobin 'masturbated on Zoom call with colleagues'

CNN pundit Jeffrey Toobin has been suspended for “accidentally flashing his penis during a Zoom call with colleagues,” and reportedly also masturbating. Anti-Trumper Toobin was suspende…

Tell me guyz, how do you äccidentally" flash your penis on video calls?

Possibly wearing boxers (ie casual pyjamas thinking you are off camera) and gaping allows trouser snake escape.

I've stayed away from this Hunter Biden laptop "story" because I reckon I know a turkey when I see one, but here is a very calm examination of the matter.

Certainly gives you a rev up, can put a bit of lead in the pencil, too. If you take them for any length of the time, the down side can be terrible, inertia and depression.

Dog eat dog capitalism is not good for most folks. Early childhood development is so important for later outcomes. We live 5 years longer on average than Americans, they have 5 times the chance of being murdered and 5 times the chance of being incarcerated compared to Australia.

I was given it when my back was wrecked. I remember laying there in agony still but my mind was racing, so positive and felt like I could do anything which was ironic since I couldn't even put my own socks on! But you cannot stay on it, about 5 days is the most and 3 of those days are weening you off. So as such I doubt he is on it anymore, does serious harm if you are on it for too long. It was very good though, the hill billy heroin was the worst.

Its pretty simple, small target, stay quiet and work on the basis that most will vote for anyone but Trump unless he stuffs up. Makes perfect sense to me, small target policy has been used in Oz a few times.

Pretty damning, isn't it, and still they insist on imposing their way of life on the rest of the world as much as they can.

 

[bourbons]

Tell me, how is this relevant?

To be fair, GuruJane has never been particularly relevant.

Still waiting for the Obamagate update, mumsy

Totally agree, but there has been a lot of hand wringing (including on the Democratic side) that "oh Biden needs to be out there, he needs to be gee-ing up the voters".

He's followed the advice that if the other guy is constantly shooting himself in the foot, you just keep out of the way.

A podcast I listened to also compared the US media reaction to the French media when the Russians dropped anti-Macron dirt just before their last presidential election. French media collectively just said "sup", but then they don't have Murdoch.
