    In some countries and cultures (most actually) elders are treated with respect.

    In the Great country that calls itself America that respect is reserved for billionaire media moguls, tech titans and anyone who people want to emulate. Of course people don't want to be old.

    "We can't get no respect," except as a voting block.

    You are totally correct; there are a number of other cultures in other areas of the world where elders are indeed respected, and much admired for their resilience, wisdom, and strong work ethic.

    Indeed, there is MUCH respect being exhibited in this country today; the trouble is, it's being given to those who are TOTALLY undeserving.......we, as a nation, are truly running backwards at warp speed, taking us back to a world where barbarism and brute force rule supreme.

    Heaven help us all............

    Liz Cheney/Adam Kinzinger Against Trump

    Jim Wright: We know more about Biden's prostate than we do about that guy who allegedly tried to assassinate Trump.
    We know more about Biden's prostate than we do about that OTHER guy who allegedly tried to assassinate Trump.
    We know more about Biden's prostate than we do about Trump's tax returns.
    We know more about Biden's prostate than we do about what Trump gave the Qataris in exchange for that gaudy gauche grotesque $400 million gold-plated bribe.
    We know more about Biden's prostate than we do about what private information Trump's DOGE agents took from the Social Security Administration and the IRS. In fact, we know more about Biden's prostate than we do about that 22-year-old DOGE agent, Big Balls, who's currently porting our personal information to Elon Musk's corporate hard drives.
    We know more about Biden's prostate than why the Saudis' gave Trump's son-in-law a $2 billion "loan."
    We know more about Biden's prostate than Trump's shady $2 Billion crypto scam.
    We know more about Biden's prostate than the details of Trump's secret Central American gulag.
    We know more about Biden's prostate than we do about why Trump appeared so many times on Jeffrey Epstein's flight logs.
    And yet, somehow, Biden's prostate is the single most important thing the media can think of right now. It's all consuming. It's the single most important topic to Republicans and the MAGA money machine, and it's as if none of them know just how many men have prostate cancer and live with it every day while going about their jobs and lives without it affecting their cognitive or physical abilities in any fashion whatsoever.
    In fact, it's a pretty good bet that a significant fraction of those men currently questioning Biden's cancer diagnosis have prostate cancer themselves -- and know it, and are hiding it from the public because it's not relevant to the performance of their jobs.
    But then, that's not even in the top 10 when it comes to the hypocrisy of politics.
    The confusion on Republicans' part might be the cancer's location.
    And the fact they perpetually have their collective heads firmly up their asses.
    But I digress.
    Here's the thing: voters and the Democratic Party leaders asked Biden dropped out.
    So he did.
    And THEN you had a chance to vote for someone who embraced many if not most of your values, who wasn't a goddamn fascist, and most of all who was young and fit -- except it turns out health really wasn't the issue, was it?
    Biden's health issues doesn't explain why you didn't show up.
    And, no, health really isn't the issue at all.
    But keep flogging that dead horse, it's not entirely glue yet, I'm sure the press and the pundits and the politicians can squeeze it for another few grubby dollars.

    America loves a trainwreck esp tabloid journalism.

    Well, the timing was a bit off we had no primaries to help sort out Democratic candidates. Primaries that would have greatly helped Democrats to sort through the issues and approaches to the issues of today. All that is postponed untill 2028. Our President was forced out by his own people, not Republicians or The Media. He is a trainwreck, a zombie. He left kicking and screaming, he still can be found on The View, with Dr. Jill, spinning the issues. Whatever else is ailing, his ego remains strong.
    About respect: How was Dr. Jill respecting Our President by pimping him out there when he was obviously sick.

    One can bullshit somebody. The worst is if you bullshit yourself.

    Biden hurt his own Party. Our press lost credibility by Playing Along. These are big issues.

    The Democratic primaries and caucuses were held from January 23 to June 8, 2024.
    As of April 2024, there were more than 190 Democratic candidates for nomination to represent the party.
    So there were Democratic primaries, you have your facts wrong.
    On March 12, Biden secured enough delegates for nomination.

    Biden withdrew on July 21. Within 30 minutes of the announcement he endorsed Harris.
    According to the rules of the Democratic party when Biden dropped out, potential replacements would have three days to declare their intention, and then another three days to secure the necessary number of delegate votes to be eligible for the nomination.
    Harris was the only candidate that received the number of signatures required to be considered in a delegate vote.
    She then received 99% of the participating delegate votes.

    The vote was rushed and held before the convention because the Republicans choose to enforce a rule that stated that Ohio candidates must be certified 90 days before the general election, which would mean any hesitation would keep Harris off the Ohio ballot.
    End of story.

    Now the interview on The View.

    Here is most of it:





    Doesn't sound like a train wreck to me.​

    I'm 73 years old and my doctor checks my PSA levels every 6 months. I don't have nearly as good of health care as a president of the US has. Joe should have known at least a year ago that he had prostate problems and should have had it checked out. Since the public didn't find out until now there are only a few reasons this has happened. First he didn't believe the docors since he was smarter than anyone else. Two, he thought he was tough enough to beat it. Three, he wanted Harris to be president. If he continued to run before the election it might get out that he was sick. By waiting as late as he did, the only person who the democrats could have as their nominee was Harris. Screw the primaries. I would have voted for JB Pritzker but nnnoooo! I wasn't given a choice. Trump may want to be king but Biden wanted to get rid of democracy by not giving people a choice. Therefore I didn't vote at all. Some of my democratic friends did the same thing. Yhat is the real reason we lost the election. Just more proff that not all lairs are politicians but all politicians are liars.

    Cancer prognosis doesn't always work.
    Take the case of Frank Zappa, he had consulted doctors for years over urinary problems but cancer wasn't found until it was inoperable.
    After various medical tests to figure out what was causing these problems, he was later diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in 1990, and doctors ultimately informed him he had prostate cancer developing for years.

    So one, "docors" (sic) aren't miracle workers.
    Two, how would you know what Biden thought?
    Three, if Biden wanted Harris to be president he could have gotten elected and then resigned and Harris, as vice president, would automatically become president.

    The Democratic primaries and caucuses were held from January 23 to June 8, 2024.
    Over 1,000 candidates filed.
    JB Pritzker never ran for president in 2024.

    He supported Biden in the primaries and then Harris.
    Between the lines: Pritzker hasn't ruled out a future presidential run, but stepped aside in 2024 in favor of Biden's reelection campaign.

    All that could be true but I believe that the doctors caring for a president would do a lot better job than any others. The president is considerably more important than a rock star. Also Zappa died over 30 years ago. Medicine has advanced tremendously since then.

    We all thought that Joe was running again so the primaries were just going through the motions. Why would JB run if Joe was going to run.

    All this is why there is so much in the news about Joe's prostate. What did he know and when did he know it.

    Medical science has advanced which may mean that they caught Biden's disorder recently and would not have even known about it 30 years ago.

    Yet - why does in matter now? How does any of this focus on Biden's cancer, or how well he was when he was president, or why it took so long to be pushed out of a 2nd run - how does any of that impact today's situation? To me, it is a huge distraction from today's situation.

    I guess Republicans are sure obsessed over prostates. Cause it can't be Biden they've been obsessed about for 6 years now.

    Of course it's a distraction from the way Trump is wrecking the country and the world as his corrupt family knows no limits to how they can use the government and presidency to enrich themselves.

    All thieves know it's all about distraction whether they're picking your pocket or raiding Social Security, same M.O.

    The point is everything is Biden's fault, or those who supported Biden.

    If not, then it was Obama's fault. Trump is God, Jesus and Mother Theresa all in one, infallible.

    Trump and Biden are both politicians. Not all liars are politicians but all politicians are liars. I'm not sure there has ever been a honest politician. 2 examples that pop to mind are Nixon "I am not a crook. " and Clinton "I did not have sex with that lady."

    They are all crooked and anyone who believes that their politician isn't is living in a fantasy world.

    We can change your observation to the phrase "Not all liars are posters on this site but all posters on this site are liars."
    Makes just as much sense.
    Everyone has lied some time in their life, except of course, those people who proclaim they have never lied.

    Your Clinton example is flawed as it was found that he did not lie about having sex with Lewinsky as the question put to him was vague and too broad.
    Clinton argued that sexual relations required sexual intercourse, which they did not have.
    The law agreed.

    The question of his definition of the word "is" was also found to be valid.
    The law agreed.

    So in this particular you could have used a better example.

    Trump's first manifesto certainly fooled me. So as someone who is not easily fooled, I am having to eat a lot of humble pie.

    But the REAL problem is the corporations systematically destroying the US economy since the 1960s. Every president who served between then and now is equally to blame for putting their heads in the sand.
    The country now has more than 50 years of the rot to reverse, so the next couple of decades are going to be hard.

    To be fair, Trump blew the whistle, but he is clueless on the resolution.
    His tariffs could actually work. But they would kill the patient long before they did.
