President Joe Biden on Saturday called Donald Trump “clearly unhinged” and claimed that “something snapped” in the former president after he lost the 2020 election.

“It’s clear that … when he lost in 2020, something snapped in him,” Biden told supporters in Seattle at a private fundraiser Saturday, according to reporters in the room. “He’s not only obsessed with losing in 2020, he’s clearly unhinged. Just listen to what he’s telling people.”

Even though Biden thinks the presumptive GOP presidential nominee is “unhinged,” he said he believes the November election will be “close.”

“We feel good about the state of the race, but we know the race is close,” Biden said, pointing to recent polls.

Fkn lol. I grew up in nyc in the 80s. Something snapped in this cunt way back when. He’s always been a fucking clown. New Yorkers cannot comprehend how this traitor shitcunt managed to amass his flock of sheep, our acknowledgment of their profound fucktardedness notwithstanding.

She won the popular vote. I’ll go ahead and put the blame on idiots, Russia, and fox “news”.

You can believe whatever you want, that doesn’t make it true.

Yup. He’s notorious for stiffing contractors and vendors since the ‘80s. He had to outsource most of his contracts in the last few decades because nobody will work for him in NYC.

He’s been sued for contract disputes 208 times.

He’s been sued 208 times… How many more people did he screw that didn’t sue him? It has to be a staggering number.

Oh, I’m sure. In the above link you’ll see he’s actually been sued 4,095 times. 208 of those were contract dispute lawsuits.

I’m not from NY, but I too was paying attention back in the day and can confirm, the Orange Turd has always been a deranged, self-absorbed, shit stain of a human being.

I don’t know how big an impact celebrity is, but if you watch almost any media from the 80s or 90s you’ll eventually come across a DT reference, either the man himself or something about him, and it’s usually fawning. Like I said, I don’t know how much a thing like that is representative of how people actually thought/think about him, but it feels like it helped.

The media did indeed hype him up for many years, but at least some of us saw past that and realized that he wasn’t all he was cracked up to be.

Yeah outside of NYC the media slobbed his knob constantly. The motherfucker makes a cameo in Home Alone 2 like it’s some incredible once-in-a-lifetime experience to run into him. But if you search for articles, there’s negative stuff about him - just most people write that off as like “activist journalism” or whatever

It’s America, everyone worships the rich people

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
