Thankfully Joe is healthy ; but it's a reminder how easily The Orange Degenerate could end up again as President.
When Hindenburg was old and dottering; they went for "the other guy"

What does our bench look like?

(59,747 posts)It was in the middle of his forehead. I was standing right next to him, and it was pretty conspicuous.
However, I don't recall Republicans spreading panic, or Democrats wondering about our bench, or about what to do if Al Gore would become president. Gore waited his turn, and won the election, though not the presidency.
Cancer spreads far more slowly with age. My grandfather was diagnosed with skin cancer at age 99. He asked his doctor if he should be worried. His doctor laughed. "At age 99? It's not even worth treating. Whatever else should befall you, you will not die of skin cancer." He lived three and a half more years, and he did not die of skin cancer.
has probably had this type of cancer removed, but we would never know about it because he lies about everything. Many people have this type cancer, even people in their twenties. They caught Bidens early and took care of it. My Dad had this type of skin cancer removed several times and he lived to 92. He did not die from skin cancer.

It's not the kind of skin cancer one dies from, is easily removed, requires no follow-up treatment (as we see from President Biden's case), and is fairly common. I had it years ago, and what I'm describing is pretty much the way the doctors who diagnosed and treated it for me described it. It was a short, in-office procedure to remove it, and that was that.
Because of my experience, I think the OP's headline is over the top.

Every flutter or errant breeze which fills their sails, even if only for as moment and only a little bit, is raw meat for their minion's tendency to go nuts over nothing. This is the real problem. Our adversaries are not rational, but they still get their ballot counted at least once in every election.
I'm talking about how an ambiguous Friday afternoon press release of no actual consequence from the tall stupid, the FBI's resident treason monger, J. Comey, cost Hillary the presidency and gave the executive branch of the US government to TFG. Can you believe that? Still having trouble putting that together?

(6,986 posts)but it's not the crazy MAGA base we need to be concerned about. They will never cross the divide. It's the sliver of middle, independents that always decides elections. Comey shook them enough to make a difference, although I'm not convinced it was THE difference....Manafort passing voting data to Darapaska (sp?) was how they identified where they needed to up the vote count in WI, MI, and PA, which is what swung it for TFG (remember, she got more votes overall; just not in the right places)....

(7,794 posts)It's like a cover of fog behind and under which the bad actors hide. What are they really doing at CPAC anyway?
Do you wonder if the surveillance cameras caught some congress-critters giving tours to oath keepers on 1/5 or before? I'm guessing they did and now the only person in the world who gets to see the tapes is Tucker and the DOJ peeps. How is that not a seriously strange thing?

(613 posts)What is more likely to put the TFG in the OO, is Democrats constantly pointing at the screw ups in the GOP while not offering the people of America any sort of sane and legitimate alternatives.
The Democratic support crew on pages like DU seem to be wholly preoccupied with demonstrating to America how twisted and stupid the GOP are, which is not going to be enough.
Democrats almost lost the midterms. They narrowly won the Presidency. TFG is still attracting large numbers of supporters, and Dems are nearly winning elections (Warnock-Walker) they should be mopping the floor with.
If Dems are really interested in keeping the GOP out of power then they are going to have drop their obsession with demeaning the GOP and start offering the people of America something better than "we're not as bad as those fools".

(6,986 posts)Have you been asleep the last two years and missed all of Biden's and the Dems accomplishments? Your claim is old and tired with regards to the Dems. The Dems have their act together, have accomplished more in two years that was thought possible, and, as Biden has said, we're only just beginning. Now, it's just a matter of using a large enough megaphone to make that point.
Justice matters.

Biden has demonstrated very well that he us not dottering and is fully capable of handling the presidency very well.
