Trump's Staggering Rapid Cognitive Decline

Grandpa Joe doesn't have any executive experience. He doesn't know how to govern. You do know what the President does right? He also didn't have the acumen or intelligence to rise to the occasion. Plus, he's fucking got sundowners. 

Plenty of presidents came in from Congress without executive experience. Biden at least spent 8 years as VP seeing what the job looked like up close. 
 

And I have no problems with Biden's judgement. The guy is old, not some halfwit or mental patient. I wouldn’t pick him to lead a team of Navy seals on a mission but I have no doubts about his ability to decide on whether it’s right to send them in.

Wtf are you talking about? Biden has his problems but lacking experience definitely isn't one.

 

Sounds like you've got some propaganda in your ear.

Biden has obviously received a ton of criticism both real and imagined in recent years…but I don’t know that I ever heard anyone question his qualifications.  
 

The guy has three years of POTUS experience….along with 20-30 years in Congress and 8 years as VPOTUS.   And you’re seriously arguing that he’s not qualified because he never spent a few years as a state governor or city mayor earlier in his career?

How can you have more experience than Biden did coming in?

 

He's one of the most qualified and experienced politicians of all time.

He's not deciding anything in his Presidency except which ice cream he gets before his pills.

Honestly, a lot of inside info leaks out of the White House. Like all the info about Biden's dog biting people. Or Trump spending half his days watching Fox News.
 

We would hear if Biden was just drooling in the corner letting other people make all the decisions. By all accounts he is very involved.

Biden graduated at the bottom of his class at Syracuse and was in the right place at the right time when a district flipped Democrat. He's made a career by being a guy people didn't want to dislike. He wasn't picked for his leadership ability at any step of his career. Just a guy who wouldn't lose an election. 

 

Add to that Obama, one of the best Presidents we've ever had. He got to ride those coat tails all the way to the White House. At no point in time did anybody want him. They just didn't want Trump. 

[SleepingTitan]

At the end of the day, we really just have a faulted system: two party. It's hard to believe that out of all the millions of qualified adults, we get these two choices. 

 

Yall doin tricks on your party line dicks is part of the problem.

Qualified and experienced are two completely different things. And I'll add that being a Senator in a slam dunk district ain't shit compared to Gov or Pres

You know what they call the guy who graduated last place in his class in med school? “Doctor”. Anyway, being a politician is often more about personality and relationships than being the smartest guy in the room.

 

I’d agree that people like Biden primarily for not being Trump. That’s a pretty good argument for him! He didn’t excite anyone, but he won a close nomination so he got to be the the guy to face Trump. It’s not like anyone else stood out above him.

 

But you just can’t reasonably say he is unqualified. Especially considering his very successful record in office.

I can't deny a lot of this.  Hell, I can't deny most of it.  But I'll disagree with your point.  Biden has been a very good president, very good.  In the political climate he's working with, what the hell would you expect?  There has been a ton of legislation passed that is helping or will help in the future.  With the halfwits in the house, and Moscow Mitch still carrying weight in the Senate, that's a trick almost as impressive as Jeff Fisher coaching wins with Vince Young at QB.   Legendary stuff.

People didn't just pick Biden because he's not Trump. The fact that he *is* super experienced and stable highlighted the contrast between options. It's the exact opposite of him being unqualified. He's the embodiment of the safe pick.

Doesn't take anything away from the fact that he's been in the gov for pretty much his entire life. Knocking him on lacking experience is just dumb and shows your completely lack of knowledge of his history and what he's worked on throughout his career. Look it up sometime and educate yourself. He's also got some questionable things in there that he's voted for in the past if you want to knock him for stuff but...

 

here I'll help:

 

Biden became ranking minority member of the Senate Judiciary Committee in 1981. He was a Democratic floor manager for the successful passage of the Comprehensive Crime Control Act in 1984. His supporters praised him for modifying some of the law's worst provisions, and it was his most important legislative accomplishment to that time.In 1994, Biden helped pass the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, which included a ban on assault weapons and the Violence Against Women Act, which he has called his most significant legislation

 

Biden was a longtime member of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary. He chaired it from 1987 to 1995 and was a ranking minority member from 1981 to 1987 and again from 1995 to 1997

 

Biden was a longtime member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He became its ranking minority member in 1997 and chaired it from June 2001 to 2003 and 2007 to 2009

 

Vice presidency (2009–2017) - he's had things he's worked on but hard to give him credit for anything specific so i'll skip these years

 

President (2020-present) - 

The American Rescue Plan in response to COVID-19

A bipartisan infrastructure bill

The Inflation Reduction Act

Support for Ukraine's defense against a Russian invasion - where we've seen a significant reduction in combat capability and economic down turn of our international greatest rival w/o putting any American troops in harms way.

 

 

Say what you will about Joe Biden but saying that he lacks experience or that he was unqualified is just flat out dumb. No other way around it.

 

And that's just from a quick google search w/o going too deep. Damn. That's such a dumb statement.

A 3+ party system just makes it easier for extremists to get elected. Stop the bullshit.

Plenty to criticize Biden on IMO but experience is a strange one. If he's not qualified, WTF is?
