Except that's not. That gallows? About 5 feet tall. You might be able to hang a few dwarves.
Here's that same gallows, in perspective... |

Did I tell you about the time I ran over bad dude Corn Pop, while driving an 18-wheeler hauling anthracite coal I had mined myself?

I think this is becoming more undeniable every day. From the article about the Afghanistan debacle: "Press coverage has been so unremittingly negative for two reasons: Historically horrible execution of a consequential, high-profile policy, and a flurry obvious untruths in the damage control. Even if we set aside the stunning incompetence of the former failure, why has Biden compounded the problem with the latter messaging approach? Three options, as I see it: First, Biden is just lying. Deliberately and repeatedly, for political reasons, hoping the media will cover for him (not an unfounded hope, I should add, though it's not working on a disaster this unspinnable). Second, Biden's staff is keeping him in the dark, or at least partially shading harsh realities in their briefings. Third, Biden is fully briefed, but he is struggling to synthesize and retain information about these fast-moving events. To put it lightly, none of these scenarios inspire confidence." https://townhall.com/tipsheet/guyben...n5TlMVD3mPdPYU My guess is number 3. They certainly do not but at least he doesn't make mean tweets about his political enemies, right?

I seldom enter the US Politics thread but I must admit I'm starting to worry about the mental health state of the POTUS

For those of us who follow US politics, it was evident last spring/summer that Biden was mentally impaired because of his handlers "calling a lid" at noon every day and hiding him from crowds. There are former staffers who have reported meetings to decide which brand of adult diapers he should wear so as to be less noticeable and of staffers tasked with picking up Alzheimer's medication for him under an assumed name. Even if he wasn't mentally impaired, his inability to gather an actual crowd of supporters during the campaign trail is such a strong indication of a lack of voter enthusiasm that it was a very strong driver for the claims of a stolen election, especially when Trump rallies after Biden took office continue to draw massive crowds of supporters. What we have going on is a feeble, incoherent emperor surrounded by sycophants concerned only with keeping him in office to maintain/advance their own power structures or sheltering him from the truth because he is unable to absorb the information and competently act upon it. Either way, the whole of those in power need to go. Whether it's the President and Vice President, cabinet members, Congressional lifers on their 12 term of office, unelected bureaucrats like Fauci or the head of the EPA or CDC, or activist SCOTUS judges - the US needs to clean house and put out to pasture every single government employee at every level of government. Term limits for every elected position. No more Senior Executive Service positions. No more government/industry revolving door. No more lobbyists. No tenure. No lifetime benefits for elected officials and their families. No unions for government employees. Take the money and lack of requirements to perform out of government service since those who enter government service for the money/influence are the last people you want in government. |

As an outsider I can't understand that there isn't any politicians among the Dem who has raised their voice. I know some Rep have done it.
Only reason must be...He beat this awful President and this was good. Markus

"What's the goal here? To raise doubts in voters' minds about Biden - and his age in particular. It might not have worked for Trump, but Republicans haven't given up.
The Point: This is the sort of gross, lowest-common-denominator politics that drive people away from public life. If Republicans have some sort of proof that Biden is declining, they should bring it forward. If they don't, they should stop doing what they're doing. Immediately." On the other hand, if i were Biden I would call for legal action, a lawsuit of omission might be in order. Everyone purporting this would have to bring forward evidence, or shut up. Or face legal action and pay for it.
