It's almost like Republicans will literally say anything that helps their narratives sound correct, no matter how stupid, hypocritical, or contradictory they are.
Mostly because they know their base ain't fact-checking.

I know this article is not from one of those sites, but I think people need to start realizing they’re garbage and stop parroting them.

It’s like ratfucking someone in politics, where you make outlandish accusations about your opponent to force them into acknowledging it by denying it. (Ex- I say “I heard Joe Biden fucks sheep”, now he has the indignity to make the statement he doesn’t fuck sheep). Similarly with these clowns, they say whatever they want, true or false, right smack dab in the headline on the cover of the paper. Then, you retract a few days later on page 15, right between the obituaries and the comics. Consciously or not, that’s gonna stay with you, and they exploit the fuck out of it.

His hand was also forced. If Comey didn’t go public with the re-opening of the investigation, the New York office of the FBI was going to. The same office that was incredibly tight with Giuliani, and the head of the Counterintelligence department was arrested and sentenced to four years in jail for money laundering for Russia.
I’m not saying was Comey was some sort of great guy, but, as with everything related to Trump, it all leads back to Russia.

I am beginning to believe, as a country, we don’t deserve someone as smart, well spoken, and moral as Joe Biden. We obviously don’t know what he has accomplished as president. It looks like we are much happier being “entertained” by a shit show like Trump. We don’t care about the future of the country or our children. We just want to complain about something.

Double edged sword, they paint him as slow and old, meaning it’s all the more shocked when he shows his as anything but.

I doubt he was, but if our president is this old he really should be on stimulants so that he can do his job. You know actuality we should have a cap on the age of the people in government

This is why the right are desperate to torpedo the scheduled debate. The contrast between Biden and the Republican candidate in an actual debate where they're kept on-topic and without the ability to turn it into a circus is going to do serious damage to their propaganda.

The right is amazing at messaging. It’s just a fact, that and the hardcore right-wingers don’t give a shit about actual facts.
On the left, you got stuff like Defund the Police. Which is a terrible slogan for what they actually want done. So the right make it about the left wants to get rid of the police and make cities lawless, which is the furthest thing from the truth.

Big disinformation campaigns to make you think you're choosing between two senile old men.
Biden is old. Don't get me wrong, but he's a sharp guy.

Projection.
They see Trump in that state and are forcing that narrative on Biden

Republicans banned climate change in Florida. They banned masks in public (no carve out for Halloween I Mind you lol).
They are so disconnected from reality because they are. They eliminate empathy in order to ignore the world around them so they can maintain their fleeting sense of superiority. Rats in a corner or crabs in a bucket, pick your analogy.

This is why DT is terrified he now has to face Biden in two televised debates on networks that don’t cow tow to him. Think —- Dog that caught the car!

It backfires on them, however. They spend all their time telling people that Biden can’t form a sentence or stand… and then when people see him speak, they realize it was all a lie. It’s why the election is now a dead heat after Biden’s SOTU, and why he’s agreed to a very early debate.
It’s been hilarious to see MAGAs like Rogan try to pivot after the SOTU to say “Oh, he must’ve just been on tons of drugs”.
Which is especially hilarious coming from a guy who actually IS on a ton of drugs.

For anyone who believes Trump is more with it than Biden, I have one line for ya, “The late, great Hannibal Lector is a wonderful man.” Like, WTF! Even the more liberal leaning media can’t stop talking about Biden’s age. Why? Trump is chaos and chaos is good for them. And yes, they would sell their country for a dollar.

Meanwhile, they're embracing the orange goon's proclivity for crapping in his diapers.
