    I'll take the old frail absent minded guy over the wanna be criminal dictator any day of the week. It wasn't a great press conference by any means but the American public has an attention span of the average TikTok user when it comes to politics.

    There has to be someone who is neither a vegetable nor a malignant narcissist.

    After reading this, it's plainly obvious that the classified documents case against Trump is selective prosecution... What Biden did was FAR worse and he didn't have any Presidential protections. Unreal.

    "He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died". Wow.

    One of the guiding principles of the DoJ is NOT to interfere with elections, and this is effectively inserting the DoJ into politics (given Biden's age as a hot political topic). It might be a completely honest report, but the effect is nevertheless political. The DoJ should have been very careful. They failed yet again here, as they did in previous years. It's worse this time because they had said they worked to prevent repeating those mistakes.

    The report include the WH response (at the very end):

    The double standard is amazing.

    Biden regularly has gaffes, but he's typically coherent.

    Trump is regularly incoherent.

    "It’s hard to see how this helped Biden’s political case. Several Democratic operatives have sent panicked texts about how that press conference went."

    -Maggie Lindsy Haberman (White House correspondent for The New York Times, and a political analyst for CNN.)

    theyre both old and senile, but trump is also a pathologically lying, psychotic a**hole wanna-be dictator man-baby who incited an insurrection against his own government.

    all-in-all, its pretty embarrassing...perhaps two senile geriatrics running for president is an appropriate symbol of what the american empire has become.

    Sadly, this is what our system has given us. This is where we should be grateful for separation of powers.

    But they are both demented zombies.

    One zombie incites violence and death threats while Obama and Pelosi lives rent free in his rotting syphilitic head.

    I'll pick the other zombie if it's between the two

    You are on an island with this opinion. There is absolutely no comparing Trump vs Biden in terms of mental acuity. Trump can give multi-hour speeches and interviews with absolutely no problems at all -- he commands the room. Biden can't put together more than a couple of sentences without a massive mistake being made. Biden's brain is MUSH. And deteriorating quick. Democrats are in full blown panic mode with who replaces Biden at this point. It's elder abuse to ask him to keep this up.

    Trump has plenty of failings and faults but mental acuity wise he seems to be doing a lot better then Biden
