Presidents & those who would be president often boast of their qualifications — their education, their experience, their achievements. And then there is President #Trump, who is boasting about his #dementia test.

Biden says global warming topping 1.5 degrees in the next 10 to 20 years is scarier than nuclear war

Seriously, President #Biden is only 3 years older than #Trump.
Biden, bikes, does Pilates & eats a healthy diet.
Trump is sedentary & lives on a fast food diet.

This is the stupidest choice of criticism.

To #Biden’s advisers, the political damage is coming not from legitimate questions about the president’s health or stamina, but from what one adviser once described as fake & distorted internet posts.

…#Trump routinely delivered rambling, often nonsensical speeches & news conferences. He ranted about eagles killed by windmills & told fake stories about the U.S. military running out of ammunition. Often, Trump’s anger-filled diatribes made little sense.

Although #Biden fielded questions on a range of #ForeignPolicy issues, including #China’s #economic troubles & #ClimateChange, he spoke softly & appeared tired.…

It was far from the first time the president’s rivals have used his words & actions to undercut him, especially on social media platforms that do not emphasize the context or background for an event.

By Mon morning, as the 80-year-old president was flying home on Air Force One, #conservative #media outlets had seized on his end-of-trip news conference as the latest evidence that he is too old to perform on the world stage.

It is a pattern that infuriates the #WhiteHouse, where #Biden’s top aides believe that stories about the president’s age & health are stoked by his enemies in an effort to undermine his accomplishments.…

Donald #Trump Is Extremely Touchy About Voters Saying He Is Not “Mentally Up for the Job” of Being President

He insists he would beat Rupert #Murdoch, Joe #Biden, and the heads of the Wall Street Journal at a mental “acuity test.”

"So typical of the #malignant #narcissist to inflate their intelligence"

A House Freedom Caucus member said there's no evidence Biden's committed a 'high crime or misdemeanor'

Third-party candidates will help #Trump win

If a third-party candidate takes even a small part of the anti-Trump vote away from #Biden, Trump is likely to be returned to the White House

So will every other third party claiming to be in the “center” or on the “left” – including the Green party, which is already on the ballot in the two key swing states of Michigan and Wisconsin and whose most likely candidate for president is Cornel #West.

The move also comes as the #Biden admin & #Congress are grappling w/how to push back on #China w/o tipping the 2 countries into open conflict, & w/how to reduce the risk that #AI is used to magnify #disinformation.

The impact of the Chinese campaign — identified by researchers from #Microsoft, #RecordedFuture, the #RANDCorp, #NewsGuard & the #UofMaryland — is difficult to measure, tho early indications suggest that few social media users engaged w/the most outlandish of the #ConspiracyTheories.

If the orange mobster wins it won't be because of 3rd parties and because of Cornel West. It'll be because the democratic party gave up on working people under Clinton and took the corporate money. Biden is a terrible candidate, look at the top leadership, it's like something out of King Lear.

That can make vile things precious.”

It also comes as President #Biden & Iranian President Ebrahim #Raisi prepare to travel to NY for the annual UN General Assembly next week.

Amid the #PrisonerRelease talks, the #UnitedStates & #Iran have been discussing a possible informal arrangement that would seek to place some limitations on Iran’s #nuclear program & avoid an international crisis.

Biden asks Americans to honor Sept. 11 dead by rejecting extremism

President Joe Biden urged Americans on Monday not to succumb to the "poisonous politics of difference and division" as he sought to revive the spirit of national unity after the deadly Sept. 11, 2001, attacks 22 years ago.

Statements like this tell us that Biden is thinking about climate policy more than anything. Here's hoping we see another big decarbonization measure in the near future.

#GOP is going to hammer #JoeBiden over this prisoner swap deal with #Iran 🇮🇷. #Biden was already criticized for the prisoner swap deal with #Russia 🇷🇺.

I expect #Republicans to make this a talking point against #Democrats for an entire year (I know #Trump will).

MTG Takes Potshot at Biden in September 11 Tribute

“Today, we remember the lives taken from us by the hands of Islamic terrorism 22 years ago...

...Let us also not forget the betrayal of everyone who died that fateful day by the Biden Administration who handed over weapons and ceded the territory we held in the Middle East to the Taliban, who works with Al-Qaeda, the very enemy we sought to defeat after decades of fighting and lost American lives,”

@BenHoare plenty of propaganda in US, too, about heat pump efficiency in US Midwest where winter cold is as low as Nordic countries. Biden administration’s Infrastructure legislation (the replacement for a more thorough Green New Deal), however, includes rebates for heat pumps to encourage them throughout the country. #heatpumps #fossilfuel #GreenNewDeal #Biden #oil #capitalism #propaganda

It’s scary what Americans believe.

An NBC News/Marist poll in March found that 40% of registered voters agreed that President #Biden has a strong record of accomplishments, while 51% of voters agreed with the statement that #tfg has a strong record of accomplishments.

A similar poll by CNN/SSRS conducted in April found that 38% of Americans believe Biden has done a good job as president and 54% believe Trump did a good job as president.

Huh?
