    That term's been around long before Tucker started using it to scare his viewers.

    Right but he took it out from under the rock... he's as bad as Trump. In fact,  worse. He's more of a thought leader.  This stuff his from him,  to the audience,  to Trump.

    The clips of joe Biden falling asleep at the climate summit are hilarious. Sometimes people take things too serious. If you can’t chuckle at that then …..I don’t know.

    I said all throughout that the dude was too old to be president. 
    The problem is that the only alternative to a super old retread was also a super old retread...one who lied from his position more than 10x per day and pretty much hates everyone except his daughter, with whom he has a sick fascination. 
    So, I had to pick old Joe over old Don. 

    It is sad, not funny, that we pick people who are a few steps from the grave for our toughest job.

    -In fairness to Joe, I'd fall asleep during a climate summit too. 

    -It's more than a "sick fascination." He totally wants to bang his daughter. 

    -It's sad...but it's also the system that's sad. Any system where, out of 300 Million people, we're left with Joe Biden and Donald Trump (each in their late 70s) to vote for, is a broken-ass system.

    Agreed. I do still find the clip funny though.

    Maybe some of the younger candidates like Pete or Amy would have had more energy but that's not who "folks" typically vote for. Had either been the nominee we'd be enjoying trumps second term right about now.

    falling asleep? maybe. the way he rubbed his eyes after to me told me he just had dry eyes. it's not like his head was drooping or there was anything else suggesting he was falling asleep. but who knows.

    If by his ending he means to turn the obscenity toward America?
    I agree with Rather.

    "This is Donald Trump allowing the basest of human instincts to triumph over reason. It is a party that marches, in almost lockstep, under a banner of misplaced victimhood, of vilifying those who are different, of denying the truth, and having the chutzpah - fueled by privilege - to announce a hateful ignorance to the world with raw vulgarity, or the meekest fig leaf of innuendo. Let’s go Brandon? How about let’s go America?"

    I'll  do it for him...it was a rigged election and all patriotic Americans know that. We love Travis tritt and you're a snowflake.

    Someone should open a thread with that title and see how long it lasts

    no, I wasn't arguing semantics. It just looks to me like he's resting his eyes, not dozing or falling asleep. But again, I could be wrong.

    Whatever he’s doing, wasn’t a good look. I don’t take this shit seriously so it was just funny to me.

    but to nicknyr's point, anyone else remember a time when something like this would just be laughed at on late night tv and not used as a weapon against his fitness to lead? (and we did stuff like this against trump as well)

    No, wait, never mind -- half of the people would applaud that these days.  [Perhaps only if Bill would have discussed while on an Access Hollywood bus.]

    Also, regarding Biden being "too old", "sleepy", and all that, remember- Biden got in to the race because like many of us, he was hugely concerned about the possibility of a second Trump term.  I don't think he was exactly thrilled to be running for president, but he knew he had as good or better chance than anyone at beating Trump, and, of course, he did.  I'll bet anything he would have been just as happy having another strong Democrat contender beat Trump and just be able to enjoy his retirement.  I can't even imagine keeping President Biden's busy schedule and he's got 8, almost 9 years on me.  I wish people would cut him some slack, and give due respect.  The alternative to his presidency would, frankly, be fucked up!

    I voted for him and respect what he is trying to do.
    Doesn't mean I changed my opinions on electing old people for what is one of the most challenging jobs I can imagine having to do.  

    Very thankful he beat out the disaster known as Donald Trump.

    I see your point and yes, I would like to see a younger, more energetic president as well, but we really didn't have another choice.  It always seems that way though, the lesser of two evils thing.   Only this time it was old and no longer at the top of his game vs totally screwed.  Easy decision!
    So because of the way the situation unfolded and because we have who we have, I think the least we can do is be supportive of our current president. 
    And looking at the future, Democrats need to get their shit together.  I have to be honest and say I'm just about ready to bail and go with the Lincoln Project folks.  I'd rather stay Democratic, but our party is starting to look like the people in the church I grew up in who have often been referred to as "the frozen chosen."  Screw that, I want some real progression in the the progressive movement.  I'm sick and tires of wishy-washy.   
    So what to do?  Anymore, I almost feel clueless.  Where to turn, what to do.  Just say "shove it" to the whole mess?  I wish (but I won't).

    Going full on Lincoln Project isn't going to get you anything but regression.

    The democrats just keep squandering all of their opportunities. The republicans always seem to have the longest view in the room as far as remaining in power, while the democrats just try to get everything at once and then bitch and complain when that doesn't work (shocker) and then lose the majority for another decade to the party who's more focused. 

    Look at abortion. That's been a rallying cry for republicans for DECADES and we may now be on the brink of Roe being overturned. YET the majority of the country is pro choice. Imagine if democrats had that kind of resolve. Imagine if they even mentioned the issue in 2016. You likely wouldn't have had Trump become president and there'd be a solid majority of democrats on the supreme court right now.
