    He's been mostly hawking his 'brand' since the 80s when he managed to go out of business running casinos of all things.

    For every lol Trump clip there are probably five of these:

    A debate between the two in their current states would be absurd. Trump really isn't the same as even 4 years ago.

    The District Attorney in the Trump case is fucking one of her prosecutors, which will likely tank the case against him. He's definitely getting in.

    Proper lolling at refusing to charge the sitting President with an offence because he probably has dementia. The end of the Soviet Union was more dignified than this.

    I'm still not entirely sure how their democracy has managed to back itself into the corner of having literally no feasible alternative for high office than two addled geriatrics so old that their combined ages take you back to the Battle of Bull Run.

    It's genuinely tragic how bad their choices are. Biden should not be running at 81. Trump only looks young because he's orange but makes a similar amount of mistakes.

    It's bizarre. When everyone else has favoured younger leaders, the US candidates have all faded away. I also find it wild that keeping documents at home is what started this debate. Every President since Reagan's managed that.

    The age of the candidates is a mark of the entrenched power dynamics and how difficult it is to break theor stronghold. Democracy

    The Supreme Leader of forward-looking progressive state Iran is of course a spring chicken at 84.

    Did Smokin' Joe B really refer to France's President Mitterrand today?

    Although I see he's been up to as much confusing Egyptians and Mexicans.

    And Helmet Kohl and Merkel. Man's on a roll.

    I think Jobe Iden could forget which country he was president of and still be a better choice than Donald Trump.

    It would be hilarious if "HISTORICAL FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT" is just some pointless placeholder, who takes it after they elect a dude whose mind is more calcified than my showerhead.

    Not yesterday but recently.

    An 81 year old against a 79 year old for the hardest job in the world. Incredible.

    That Democrats are willing to vote for Biden is every bit as insane as Republicans voting for Trump.

    It's all just bluster though. He'll be an even more lame duck/useless president second time around than he was first, where he did what exactly? Sat down with a few despots and built about 5% of a really shit wall? I have faith in the US military industrial complex/chain of command/whatever to keep him at bay on the off chance he gets in, which I'm increasingly convinced won't happen anyway, mainly because of this sort of insane utterance.

    He's already won the nomination, he really needs to be pivoting towards not being a maniac if he actually wants to win/stay out of jail.

    I think him saying fuck everyone we aren't bailing them out with out money/brave boys will probably play quite well with voters so we could go full isolationist US who sit on the sidelines whilst the world burns ala 1918-1941.

    Which is what we should do.

    We have no army. None of us would sign up and I'd go to prison if they tried to conscript me. Why would I fight for this shithole? Never mind for Ukraine, Israel and the Suez fucking Canal.

    I love the little dig at Carlson again, he must feel like on of those Dubai porta potties now, used and abused except his was broadcast around the world and he probably didn't make as much as they do.

    Funny how they are all bravado until faced with someone you know has likely signed a load of death warrants and killed his fair share of people in his time, no wonder the questions weren't that 'sharp', Vlad. Tucker's scrotum was in his stomach.

    Cohen being deemed a credible witness doesn't bode well for other legal travails, and hats off to the judge for the pornography allusion.

    He's so going to be in jail this time next year.

    Another civil war is probably their only route to effective gun control, so maybe it is necessary in a Machiavellian sense.

    It's pretty terrible luck for Trump to have been done for this just as he looks well-placed to win another election. This crackdown on wealthy people taking out loans based on inflated wealth estimates will presumably run and run.

    I think the election rigging is the one that will do him in, being recorded asking people to 'find' a few thousand votes so he can win is pretty damning.
