Guy who has been acting erratically since his stroke: “Biden seems fine to me!”

I think his point is that, if our only alternative to fascism is to vote for a senile old man who was forced upon voters without a primary, then this system can’t credibly be called democracy.

Kamala would 100% lose. Her campaign didn’t have a single victory in 2020, and she was one of the first to drop out. If the Democrats had held a primary, we might have found a candidate that could beat him, but as it stands now, our best hope is that Trump finally finishes eating himself to death before the election.

That was certainly the worst of it, but it didn’t get much better for him, he fumbled over a lot of his delivery. It was much harder for him though, he was using facts and figures while Trump was just saying whatever lie popped into his head.

Yeah, he is getting the shit kicked out of him. Trump is spouting insane lies, but Biden is stumbling over his words on every response.

It’d be like thinking the Democrats and Republicans are arguing about whether America should he a direct or representative democracy.

“[sigh]…it’s a living!”

Yeah, that makes sense. I wish I could track down where I read this to figure out if it’s a bad source or I’m misremembering it. I may be mistaking Tacitus’ reference to Christ, but I don’t think it’s that. I distinctly remember reading about some sort of population record of a Rabbi named Jesus and thinking, “Wow, I’m surprised a record like that survived.” The problem is this was 10+ years ago, and search engines suck now, so I’ll never find it again.

LOL, basically, yeah.

Interesting, what kind of records do we have from Alexander’s time? And yeah, I agree, the early gospels and the later Roman references probably indicate Rabbi named Jesus was crucified, but I don’t think that a secondary source or religious texts really meet OP’s criteria for, “physical proof.” (Although we probably don’t have, “physical proof,” for a lot of historical events we generally accept have happened).

This man can’t do a basic web search, so I have to be responsible for his ignorance.

Yeah, but the odds of census records surviving that long are pretty low. Apparently, there are references to Jesus from some Roman historians that scholars think corroborate his existence, but they come about 100 years after Jesus supposedly lived, so they’re not exactly evidence.

I had read that there were Roman census records that proved a Rabbi named Jesus did live at about the right time, but now I can’t find a source to back that up, so that’s probably bunk.

Relics are almost always fake, and there are usually multiples of them at any given time. A lot of people have had Jesus’ foreskin throughout the years, and I think there are 5 or 6 heads of John the Baptist floating around right now.

I still get emails from my dormant account, and according to my Gmail, the sender is, “X (formerly Twitter),” so I don’t think we’re done with that yet.

I’m American, I definitely learned this stuff in 7th or 8th grade. Granted, I didn’t use it past high school, and I forgot it before I finished college, but that’s definitely when I learned it.

OK, you’re very clearly just avoiding all the things I say that you don’t want to hear, and honestly, this feels like I’m just punching down now, so I’m just gonna stop. Good luck buddy.

Dude what a politicians does NOW matters

Do you understand how insanely incoherent what you’re saying is? You’re saying that my mistake in voting for Obama was that I listened to what he said instead of paying attention to what he did. But I should only pay attention to what a politician doing NOW, not what they’ve done in the past. So I shouldn’t just listen to what they say they’ll do in the future, but I can’t judge them based on what they’ve done in the past…so how am I supposed to pick a candidate? Use psychic powers to know what they’re going to do in the future!!!

Like, I could keep arguing about Biden; you’re ignoring 20 additional years of racist legislation I brought up, and I didn’t even get to his support for the Iraq War…but I don’t even care about that. Explain how the hell your philosophy of ignoring what a candidate says and watching what they do while ignoring what they’ve done makes any kind of sense.

Your original comment:

Maybe the answer here is to pay more attention to what a politician does than what he says.

Your current comment:

I couldn’t care less what Biden did in the 1970’s.

Maybe the answer here is to not leave condescending replies to other people’s comments if you’re just going to completely contradict yourself and negate your own point.

In the original The Dark Knight Returns, Superman gets hit by a nuke and can’t reach sunlight to recover. Instead, he absorbs a rainforest’s worth of photosynthesis. That’s probably not considered cannon, but it kind of backs up the idea that they’re both using photosynthesis.
