This bloke just does not look at all well and capable of being POTUS. Incoherent and looks like hes on another planet. Will be interesting to see how this plays out if illness removes him from office.

They’ll keep him going for his first term with him appearing less and less towards the end Then it will get interesting if they go with the Vice President they will get a pasting

He's mediocre but a massive upgrade on the current idiot, and he did a good enough job to rally 80-odd million people to vote for him despite the best efforts of the establishment to supress voters.
Got a massive job on his hands though - wouldn't fancy being in his shoes.

I find it surprising how it's been perfectly OK to call Trump a confused borderline geriatric for the past 5 years (inc pre-election) but similar references to Biden are kind of scoffed at.
He comes across very tired. Just watching him makes makes me wonder if the cogs are always turning or whether a few have ground to a halt. Saying he's an upgrade on Trump is a bit like saying violent diarrhea is an upgrade on shitting blood.

Janet Yellen nominated by Biden. Jesus.... a 74 year old Treasury secretary and a 78 year old president. Could we have our first death in office? Why fill your office with young Vietnam vets when you could go the hole hog and find some survivors of World War 2?

No. I suspect if Kamala Harris ends up running the show it'll be a landslide Republican victory next time round. At least Biden is sensible enough... she comes across unhinged.

I mean, part of my statement was hyperbole, but I also wasn't really including John and his splattered brains in my statement. I think that one falls under the category of a murder mate, but yeah by definition, you got me. Congratulations.

I can understand why you might not immediately think of the other 3 presidents who died from natural causes (William Harrison, Zachary Taylor or Warren Harding) but I thought every schoolkid knew FDR died whilst in office, which was why Truman was the president who authorised the dropping of the atomic bomb. Apparently I overestimated the quality of modern education.

Apparently I overestimated the quality of modern education.You must have mate... I don't recall ever covering US presidents during my time at high school; perhaps it was one of those subjects covered under a previous curriculum? Angers me to this day as I'm clearly a failure of modern day education though, bereft of the knowledge required to get me through the day... especially when Albert Einstein famously stated words to the effect of "You should always memorize something that you can look up." Actually, I might not have memorized that correctly; Albert would have been proud. It was a joke....... in case you weren't aware, but it's been a good history lesson. I'll note for future debates and/or the pub quiz category 'US Presidents that died in office' that there has actually been several more than just JFK. Ta

He's only three and a half years older than the departing lunatic! I don't know if his mind is suffering from disease but I'm sure it's not as sick (in every sense of the word) as Trump's.

But America does not become a better country overnight because of Joe. Trump refusal to accept the result is reminiscent of the democrats who refused to accept trump and did everything they could to delegitimise his presidency even though people like Obama and the clintons set the country to allow trump in the first place. Nancy Pelosi and her ilk are not as democratic as the name of their party. Biden must be given a chance but if he fucks it up the GOP will have a less egotistical candidate waiting for 2024

Huge job on his hands to bring the country together though and I wish him the very best.

Not many people have mentioned Trump's age during his presidency actually - he's been quite good at deflecting from the fact that he's senile himself.
