Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

My take away from this is that it wasn’t the genocide, it wasn’t even his shitty debate performance, it was fucking covid that pushed this asshole over the edge. A small amount of justice for all the people who are suffering and dying from this terrible disease that Biden for years has simply been ignoring.

Yep, it was 100% Covid. Either that or his health has declined so much his staff is using Covid as an excuse.

[–] LocalOaf@hexbear.net 41 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm guessing he had another stroke or brain aneurysm or something and he's even more incoherent now. He had, what, two aneurysms when he was relatively young? Now he probably has Parkinson's and he's had covid like three times, he's probably even more noticably cooked than he was for the debate.

Yeah I am kind of sad there won't be a second debate now because holy shit that would have been incredible.

So... Kamalah's run can get three boosts from Biden now.

First if he's hospitalized.

Second, if he's moved to hospice.

Third, when he kicks it.

If these things happen when Trump needs a media boost, he's gonna have to do some truly amazing shark jumping to take back the media cycle from paying attention to Biden.

I'm guessing his mental state has deteriorated to the point where the amphetamine cocktail they give him to help him stay somewhat conscious during public appearances isn't enough anymore and if they up the dose he's actually at risk of dying.

and if they up the dose he's actually at risk of dying.

His heart exploding on live tv during the next debate would've ruled sicko-wistful

Covid is officially an act of god mccrucified

[–] Greenleaf@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago

I don’t think he actually has Covid, I think he was incoherent and mentally not there before that event, so they blame Covid. I think it wasn’t even a secret among DNC politicians and donors, and at that point they could no longer pretend it was just one bad night.
