I don't necessarily agree with you that Biden's a "confused old man", but it's certain that as long as he's surrounded by a competent cabinet, he's the reassuring figurehead America needs right now.
At least he's not a blatently incompetent grifter surrounded by like-minded grifters.

The political arm of House Republicans is deploying a prechecked box to enroll donors into repeating monthly donations — and using ominous language to warn them of the consequences if they opt out: “If you UNCHECK this box, we will have to tell Trump you’re a DEFECTOR.”

I see that they've changed it now.

If that's the case then it is actually worse.
You can't negotiate with foreign powers if you make these kind of mistakes.
Also why is the audience applauding when he makes "mistaken" claims? They can't all be confused as well.

I agree with him being a figurehead. The problem however is if those that surround him create these false talking points?

Where are the mods? These posts have nothing to do with the topic? Just a bunch of whining at each other

We already addressed that last year.
If people are already pointing it out it serves no purpose to pile on. Seems that is not well understood here.
If however something is incorrect and no one points it out then it needs to be pointed out.

Welcome to the SOP of the thread.
When an argument is made it devolves into this because they can't counter.

That looks like a Geocities website from the 1998.

You just proved you are a low information person with that post.
You're welcome.

Edit : I added this below since I know how you loathe to do actual research.

1776 The Virginia Declaration of Rights

"SEC. 13. That a well-regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper, natural, and safe defence of a free state; that standing armies, in time of peace, should be avoided, as dangerous to liberty; and that in all cases the military should be under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power."

1776 Pennsylvania’s new Declaration of Rights:

"XIII. That the people have a right to bear arms for the defence of themselves and the state; and as standing armies in the time of peace are dangerous to liberty, they ought not to be kept up; and that the military should be kept under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power"

Can you see how this formed the basis of the 2nd amendment?
