imagine having a presidential candidate that can't even give a good speech with a teleprompter.

Or a presidential candidate that won't answer questions voters want to know, and believes they do not deserve to know.

On Friday:

Ross DiMattei asked after pressing him on if he will pack the supreme court if elected: “Well sir, don’t the voters deserve to know—“

Biden: “No, they don’t deserve” to know.

That is real Biden, with no scripts or text to follow.

We all know what he said when asked if he had taken a cognitive test previously. As bad as the media is with Trump that is not something people are worried about.

The fact that you guys sit here and attempt to make it out to be nothing is hilarious and shows your lack of awareness.

And it will only get worse! Can't wait to see what he says next.

he doesn't have to actually say what they are going to do. they will pack the court, and it will be a popular choice. more than 60% of voters don't think the USC seat should be filled until after inauguration day. it would be unpopular if republicans were actually the majority of voters.

an unpopular president doing unpopular things might not get re-elected, what a shocker.

If Trump responded in the same way you would scream to the sky.

What mental gymnastics some of you do to justify your feelings. Trump has every legal right to move the confirmation forward. And is.

You could post a link to a poll saying 100% of people feel he should wait, it does not change his constitutional right. To do what he is doing. And he has the senate behind him, so it will likely happen. That is how government can work when things align properly.

Are you guys really this dense?

But you are cool with Biden telling potential voters "People do not deserve" to know what his intentions are regarding packing the supreme court. LOL I don't think others are, and will help Trump more.

Uh, it's very clearly your post I responded to.

I edited my post, I meant are you crossing wires or something.

Because that has nothing to do with what I was talking about.

I am starting to get you Lacius, you just move on when defeated. You attempt to pivot to something else.

What are you talking about? What did I move on from?

You are the one who keeps talking about court-packing like it's a bad thing, but you keep bringing up Trump's appointment like it's a good thing.

Seriously?

This is ALL I said about packing the supreme court in my post you responded to:

But you are cool with Biden telling potential voters "People do not deserve" to know what his intentions are regarding packing the supreme court.

Biden told a reporter that people do not deserve to know his intentions regarding if he will pack the supreme court or not.

The reporter asked the question because that MIGHT matter to potential voters.

It is not about me having an issue with packing the supreme court, it is the fact that Biden said people DO NOT DESERVE to know.

Again, it is about Biden saying people do not deserve to know his intentions.

I think you pulled this shit last night and said I need to do a better job at explaining myself. I think you need to read a little slower or something.

If you have nothing against court-packing, why does it matter to you?

oh are we going to expect people talk about things voters might care about? how about who did the president infect, what is his current covid status? when was his last negative test before the original debate? what medications is he taking? if he is supposedly done with medications and is fine, why did he still have a hand IV bandage within the last 48 hours? Why didn't he take hydroxy when he was 100% sure it was the corona killer? i'm sure me and other voters would love to have some questions answered.

I'm trying to figure out why you're ranting about something you claim to be okay with.

it's the only talking points the republicans have right now. they are freaking out because they can't lie cheat and steal fast enough to win this election.

standard BS, "polls don't matter, unless it says good stuff about trump"

"you're not hearing the silent majority, even though Trumpers are close to vegans in self-identification"

"Joe biden blinked his left eye before his right eye, he must have ALS!"

"oh it's not ok for you guys to bring up the fly that sat on pence's head for 2 whole minutes, that's just rude!"

I think you get even less than Lacius. At least I think he does understand how our government works from what I can see. Unlike you.

I do understand how government works, for the democrats to even be able to confirm a justice, they would need 50+ votes, by that logic, they would also have the votes needed to pass a new version of the judicial act. the chances of the democrats winning the senate is 67+%, the chances of keeping the house is 96%, and as of today the chances of Biden winning the election is around 86%. so by standard statistics, the chances of all 3 events happening is .86*.67*.96 = 55.3%. If trump and the current senate appoint ACB, adding justices up to 15 becomes a popular idea.

I apologize then, I got the impression you did not understand the process. My bad.

As for your estimates, I don't agree.

And I did not read your other response till now.

I like that you are trying to associate Covid/Trump talk surrounding the president to packing the supreme court and Biden saying voters do not deserve to know. Apples and oranges.

The proof is out there and continues to come in that HCQ use when started early works and is also safe. You just don't want to believe it because Trump said it was good at some point. And our US FDA totally screwed up. No one else around the world is finding the results our FDA stopped it for. The politicization of that alone might have lead to many people dying that did not need to. All because of TDS.

It has to be started right away. Not when people are in stage 2 of the progression of Covid walking into the hospital because they can't get better and the virus has already done much damage.

And if they did not have something better, they probably would have used it. This is not 5 months ago, and obviously based on variables we do not know they chose what they thought the best treatment was at his point in time. He had a team. If HCQ offered statistically a higher chance of helping over what they used obviously they would have gone with that.

I don't think it matters when Trump gives answers to people like you. Kind of like the, will you denounce white supremacy bit. He does it anywhere from 25-50 times in multiple media formats over many years, but they keep asking the same question. And then claim he has never done it, over and over again.

Imagine if he said, you don't deserve to know. When asked that question.
