Do you think Trump was right about Obama?

Many of us think that even though Biden has slowed down, he is still doing a good job as president. I believe a good president has advisors and considers their input in his decision making. That is not the same as being directed. 

You are free to think what you want about Biden. 

Personally, I think he is suffering from dementia and it is getting worse.  I think Kamala and the rest of the admin and media  knew it and hid it from the American people as best they could.  Until the (planned) debate which they used to force him out.   

I find it patronizing to be given permission to think what I like. I trust you don't mean that way, but after getting that from you several times, I thought I would mention it, so that I will know whether or no to take offense if it happens again.

I have to say, I wouldn't know why anyone would cover up that type of issue, let alone nominate him for a second term. He had a full physical exam including a neurological workup - which would have found cognitive issues,  in February 2024 and the results were made public. 

I just mean we all have the right to our own opinions.  Whether we agree or disagree.  I am not meaning it to be patronizing so I am sorry if that is how it comes across. 

They would cover it up because they knew Trump was going to get the Rep nomination. And they think only Joe can beat Trump...  and to blow the whistle would have installed Kamala which they did not want. But Biden stuck the party with her anyway. 

That's quite a conspiracy!

Your choice of course.  

"But I believe Obama will be voting for Kamala because she will be willing to be his puppet just as Biden was....

Yes there is a reason Biden is often referred to as OBiden.   And Yes I believe Kamala would be an OHarris...

I do not believe Biden is cognitive enough to not need direction.  I think he will listen to Jill consistently but would also listen to Obama especially if he was agreeing with Jill. 

Several times, Trump talked as if he thought Obama were still president or referred to beating Obama in the election. Shortly thereafter, it became a story that Obama was still in charge behind the scenes. This may or may not have been a cover for what looked like some minor cognitive decline on Trump's part. I'm sure someone will jump in to deny it, but I follow politics pretty closely and it seems very plausible to me - I saw Trump make those comments. When you consider how much projection goes on, it seems logical to accuse the other guy to take the attention off your own guy.

Trump does a lot of projecting.

Speaking of projecting,  Kamala just claimed Trump is hiding.   Trump has done a rally/campaign everyday for the last week.  

She said he is hiding from a second debate. Isn't that what you accused her of in the past? She also said he was hiding from 60 Minutes. Odd that he wouldn't do an interview in front of such a large audience in spite of his petty (and questionable) grievances. And she said he is hiding from releasing his medical records, which has been the norm for candidates for years. I don't think that can be called projection. 

She has done a handful of interviews ALL on very friendly outlets.  She is still dodging a Time interview.  (Trump has done 2) And Kamala will never do a FOX/Newmax interview.  

I don't blame Trump for not doing 60 minutes interview given the way they treated him last time.   He brought up the Hunter Biden laptop and she stopped him and said this is 60 Minutes we cannot allow you to lie like that. The laptop is Russian disinformation.  (Or something to that effect) Well, it is now confirmed to be actually Hunter's laptop and not disinformation at all.  I don't blame him a bit for demanding an apology for their lies
.  At least Trump was smart enough to record the entire interview to prove his claims. Because they of course did not air it. 

60min this year edited Kamala's interview to make her look better than she actually answered.  Again, she is only going to friendly outlets. 

All I did was expand on Harris' comment about hiding. I think you are trying to pick a fight, and I'm not interested. I do not like the implication that if I don't support Trump, I have to defend everything about the other side. Frankly, amug is not a place where feel free to express my views. 

And all I have done is expand on Trump's statements.  

We are all free to express our views here on Answermug. In fact,  this site is one of the few sites where free speech is protected.  Unlike larger sites where peoples opinion is censored if it not a popular or goes against the offical narrative. On Answermug, as long as we voice our opinions without attacking others users, and follow the other rules, users are allowed to express their views. 

Of course, you are not expected to defend all Dems, you choose what and how or if you even to respond to any post. 

'In fact, this site is one of the few sites where free speech is protected.'.....unless it's laughing at you, then you moderate it.

It was for trolling and spam....directed at multiple users. 

One online definition of troll:

‘Trolling is when someone posts or comments online to ‘bait’ people, which means deliberately provoking an argument or emotional reaction. In some cases they say things they don’t even believe, just to cause drama. In other cases, they may not agree with the views of another person or group online, so they try to discredit, humiliate or punish them.’

& I get moderated for ‘LOL’, whilst how many of your nearly, 34000 comments could fall into the above category? The multiple users were 3 people. Too funny.

I recall the time that the moderator responded to my serious and well thought-out response with LOL,
you really believe that? I found it truly hurtful. My response to that comment was something along the lines of you really don't have an understanding of the issues. That was removed as a personal attack by the same moderator. Yet, supposedly, I am free to express my views. 

Yeah, I've seen it happen a few times, so it doesn't surprise me. On internet forums / chats, I usually save my 'LOL-ing' for people who genuinely make me laugh, like flat-earthers, wild conspiracy theorists, creationists, political (left or right) & religious extremists.

You did not do it just once or twice there were over 100 "LOL" with no further comment moving the discussion. directed at about 3-4 different members.  
I will not be debating the definition.  That was more posts deleted than you have now. 

There's no debate to be had.

Or for pointing out that her posts are less than credible. That is considered 'condescending and dismissive  ' and removed as a violation of the rules.
