“We will institute the powerful death penalty for drug dealers, where each dealer is responsible for the death, during their lives, of 500 people or more,” he said.

"Mothers will never again be forced to watch their children overdosing in hosp … and we will never allow mothers to watch their child hopelessly dying in their arms screaming, ‘What can I do, what can I do? Help me God, what can I do?’ We are a nation whose once revered airports are a dirty, crowded mess,” Trump continued, pivoting suddenly.

“You sit and wait for hours and then are notified that the plane won’t leave, that they have no idea when they will. Where ticket prices have tripled. They don’t have the pilots to fly the planes, they don’t seek qualified air traffic controllers, and they just don’t know what the hell they are doing.”

“We will take over the horribly run capital of our nation in Washington, D.C., and clean it up, renovate it, and rebuild our capital city, so that it is no longer a nightmare of murder and crime. But rather it will become the most beautiful capital anywhere in the world,” Trump said.

“Right now, if you leave Florida, ‘Oh, let’s go, darling, let’s look at the Jefferson Memorial, let’s look at the Washington Monument, let’s go and look at some of the beautiful scenes,’ and you end up getting shot, mugged, raped,” he warned, promising that he’d run the city “tough and smart.”

I don't care to compare Biden to a random person - I care to compare him to himself, 4 years ago. And I'll vote for him, but for fucks' sake, stop gaslighting us. It's clear he's in mental decline. If this was my grandpa, I'd force him to go to the doctor and I would probably not let him drive.

And yes, part of being president is public speaking - so if you cannot do that, then you aren't qualified to be president. You're correct there. That's like, vitally important to the job.

No doctor can make that declaration due to HIPPA and state laws regarding diagnosing someone who isn't your patient.

Yes, Trump is worse. I've never disagreed there. But it's kinda concerning the only thing in the way of a fascist dictator is a man who is visibly going senile, and that man also will be in charge of laws and nuclear codes. It's like, bad dude. Like really really bad. I'd vote for fucking Dolly Parton or Willie Nelson over either of these guys. I'd vote for a dog or a cat. I'd vote for a toddler over them. I'm sure a toddler could understand climate change better to be honest.

It doesn't matter really anyway. We ran out of time. We are all walking corpses anyway. Enjoy your last few years. Even if we got the perfect climate president, even if every country in the world had perfect climate presidents, we'd still be pretty much out of time before we could make a solution (which will take years and will release more carbon and greenhouse gases). It was a good run.
