That Trump was with Epstein and accused of all the things.

Right, but this was asked and answered years ago, so no one gives a s*** anymore. It jumped the shark once it slipped into the realm of fodder for late night jokes.

Please don't get me wrong: I'm not seeking to minimize the horror experienced by the children caught up in this. It's just that I really want this to matter, and it won't, because not only is nothing being done about it, it has actually passed into the cultural zeitgeist as a common source for humor. You know, hey, there's Trump and Epstein dancing around in a 90s video, ha ha, what else is in the news?

This is how far we have fallen.

Somebody should find their way into whatever Invision bulletin board these Biden people use and tell them they need to grow some balls, change their soiled underpants, and move on. 😉

1 big thing: Biden's staff panic after debate

President Biden's debate performance has left many of his own aides worried about his mental fitness and angry about what they see as a lack of candor from Biden's senior advisers, Axios' Alex Thompson reports.

  • "Everyone is freaking the f*** out," one official said.

💥 Behind the scenes: Senior White House officials addressed the president's lackluster performance with staffers last Friday, the day after the debate.

  • Many officials felt they were given talking points, with no real explanation of why Biden appeared unable to string sentences together or articulate a case for himself over former President Trump.
  • The lack of answers from senior aides has continued this week, leading to growing anger and resentment among many inside the White House and the Biden campaign.

👀 "It's dark," said an official involved in the campaign. "It feels like there is zero leadership or information. People are being told to keep their heads down and keep working, but they're not seeing the president or being given any reason why they should have faith in him."

💬 The other side: Many of Biden's most trusted aides believe the debate was just one bad night and expect it to blow over. It would hardly be the first time he's defied critics even within the Democratic party who say he's too old, they note.

  • "We have a lot of experience keeping — and spreading — the faith in moments where we're counted out; by staying focused on delivering for the American people and building on the most successful record of any modern presidency," White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said.

Let them do it live on TV. A panel of doctors, psychologists, etc.

The whole man, woman, monkey, pepper bull**** is only one part of the puzzle.

I want to see 6 minute walk respiratory results, bmi numbers, dietary history the whole nine yards.

So we have three candidates for president. Candidate one was recently convicted of 34 felonies, found liable for massive tax fraud, an adjudicated rapist, implicated in the records of a notorious child predator, and once told people to inject bleach to cure themselves of a virus. Candidate two has a literal worm in his brain, ate a dog, sexually assaulted a babysitter, and drove his wife to suicide. Candidate three is three years older than candidate one and was ranked by historians as one of the best presidents in history. Guess which one is being asked to drop out of the race?

A written cognitive test is entirely reasonable.  Give them 3 hours, SAT style. 
 

speech and physical limitations being roadblocks to the job is actually discriminatory and ageism. 

How about a constitution test. I am pretty confident about who would and would not pass that test.
