Does Biden have health issues? Aside from just being old, that is. He's not overweight, he doesn't seem to do drugs, he exercises... he's just old, right?

[nocera]

He's very old. He's at that age where one fall equals a broken hip and never leaving the hospital.

[DigitalGypsy66]

His doctor released an annual report of Biden's health, and said it was good for an 81 year old. Although Trump's doctor had a similar report a few years before that. No cognitive testing was released, however.

Yeah, age can be a kind of health issue in its own right.

I note that Joy Reid in that video did say that Biden raised the issue of his son's death himself, but she omits that Biden mentioned it in response to a question about a timeframe of two years later. A lie of omission.

I can understand that Dems want to spin this as Biden not being mentally diminished, but the transcript says what it says. When being asked about stuff in 2017-2018, he starts talking about his son's death, which happened in 2015.

I can say I personally had to think hard about the exact day my mother died. I sure as eff know what year it was, though. Biden didn't.

You should be ashamed. Even the senile old president remembered the exact day, May 30th.

I just want to know why Trump gets a pass. His older, overweight for his age, and obviously has mental decline too. We don't want to fat shame, but us big guys don't make it much longer than he has already gone...

Are the transcripts accurate?

Because the media is incapable of dealing with a player like Trump correctly.

He is free clicks, free attention. Accurately reporting his suckitude means you lose the free clicks and attention.

I don't think he gets a pass necessarily. Just that almost literally everything has been written about Trump previously and there's almost nothing that can move the needle for him anymore. Like he's very obviously dumber than Biden, even with Biden's probable cognitive issues, but we all know that anyway and we've known that for years


as much as conservatives hate the "lame stream media", the media only pushes things that gets view/clicks moreso than having a particular political bias and these days "Biden forgets something important" is a much more attention-grabbing story than "Trump does something stupid yet again"


everyone, even Trumpers, agree that Trump could kill someone in public and that no one's opinion about him would change. The people that hate him would continue to hate him and the people that love him will continue to love him

This is the same guy whose followers have said he could murder somebody on the steps of the White House and they’d still be with him and you’re wondering why they don’t care that he’s fat?

[Trip McNeely]

Trump is almost certainly on HGH, as is every other mega rich guy in Palm Springs, and has a nice couple doses of Adderall each day.

Hopefully his heart will eventually explode because of it

[MrKennethTKangaroo]

This is a man who suggested we drink bleach to cure Covid. Not sure how much debate we need on trumps cognitive abilities

scotty bowman and lewis lapham say hello

[nocera]

This is stupid.

[dodint]

Why?

[Kane]

Easier for them to just ban it then it would be to come up with comprehensive laws to safeguard privacy.

[dodint]

They could just adopt General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) like Europe.

[nocera]

Why?

What Kane said. There are a ton of apps that do exactly what TikTok does but that'll be the only one banned because OMG China.

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

Meta is one of the largest lobbyists so I wouldn’t expect a comprehensive bill around data privacy any time soon: https://www.opensecrets.org/federal-lob ... p-spenders


personally I wish more was invested in understanding how adolescents can be affected health wise by social media and building in protections there but we know that **** ain’t gonna happen either

[nocera]

If this passes, the GOP should run a commercial targeted at young voters that just says "Joe Biden took TikTok away from you."

[Morkle]

That would be fitting, considering teens/kids don't watch TV anymore and spend time on social media instead lol.

[nocera]

Fair. Buy some ad space on insta then.

[Shyster]

Elon should buy TikTok. It would be worth it just to see all the haters' heads explode.

[count2infinity]

Yahhh... another social media platform he can tank. At this rate, there won't be any left. Which is good.
