Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | ABC "News"/Ipsos Poll: 86% of Americans Say Biden is "Too Old" to be PresidentThat's as much agreement on a political issue as you'll ever have. Quick Hit: A recent ABC News/Ipsos poll reveals that 86%--nearly all Americans--believe President Joe Biden, at 81, is too old for another term. Key Details: 86% of Americans consider Biden too old for another term, with 62% expressing the same about Trump. There is a notable partisan divide, with 73% of Democrats seeing Biden as too old, while only 35% of Republicans think the same about Trump. The release of Special Counsel Robert Hur's report, which did not recommend charges against Biden but commented on his mental fitness, has intensified calls for invoking the 25th Amendment. Americans show more trust in Trump over Biden on issues like immigration, the economy, and crime, but Biden leads on healthcare and climate change.

Healthcare: Biden +10
========= There are just some things that I don't get, like asking which presidential candidate would be better at handling healthcare. I mean...what? Are people imagining presidents doing surgery? Is it really just, who will keep the existing healthcare system (which everyone seems to hate) going? I thought the healthcare system was fixed with the ACA?

That's as much agreement on a political issue as you'll ever have. Yes, but that is NOT the same thing as "I won't vote for him because he's too damn old". Posted by: Archimedes at February 12, 2024 01:00 PM (CsUN+) 11

Afternoon Ace. All of the things that Biden leads in are things government shouldn't be involved with. Healthcare should be largely private, climate change is a scam , abortion should continue have government involved, and there are way too many classified documents and education isn't a Fed government issue. Trump leads in the things that are reality to the he average person.

How is "classified documents" handling on a poll?
Posted by: Austin in TX at February 12, 2024 01:00 PM (l00bX) It's a general indicator of how well informed the respondent is. For example, are they aware that the President has the absolute authority to declassify anything? Are they aware that the President has the authority to retain papers related to his Presidency after the end of that Presidency. Are they aware that Senators and Vice Presidents have neither if those. Basically, it says that 41% of respondents are either stupid, uninformed, or have an utter disregard of the truth. A further 26% may have fallen into those categories or may have been unwilling to confirm their standings. Posted by: I used to have a different nic at February 12, 2024 01:05 PM (GYIa4) 54

In my opinion, the scary scenario is if the Dems force Biden out and get RJK Jr. to replace him.
All their voters will fall in line as usual, and they'll be joined by a bunch of moderates/independents who either a) are still wowed by the Kennedy name or b) regard him (with good reason) as more of a truth-teller on Covid and the lockdowns than either Trump or Biden.

Polls are just exploratory frameworks for whatever narrative they eventually decide on to explain the "voting" results. They try out this and that, workshopping like any good author. The past few "elections" used the white women just really want to murder their children narrative to explain the predetermined results and used polling like this as an explanation.

Back during the Clinton years husband and I noticed that 13% of the American people would believe any crackbrained thing you could name. It wasn't, of course, always the same 13% but for any issue, no matter how extreme, there was always a floor of 13%.

Left has REALLY been trying to hit Trump with the same "old, demented" accusations.
BIDEN CAMPAIGN STATEMENT - "Every single time Donald Trump opens his mouth, he's confused, deranged, lying, or worse." LA Times: Column: Biden’s memory is failing. So is Trump’s. The question is whose flaws are more dangerous. During the 2020 campaign, Trump publicly charged that Biden, then only 77, was suffering from “dementia.” The insult didn’t stick... Trump, too, often appears to suffer from memory lapses. He confused Nikki Haley, with Nancy Pelosi, the former Democratic speaker of the House. He referred to the president of Hungary as the president of Turkey. Trump has glaring flaws beyond his memory problems. He is the undisputed king of presidential mendacity; the Washington Post has estimated that he made more than 30,000 false or misleading claims during his four years in the White House. Several years ago, I asked Biden what strategy he relied on to bounce back from a gaffe. “Own it,” he said. The question isn’t whose aging memory is sharper. It’s whose flaws are more dangerous.

My point. The Chinese government has "invested" in some pretty shaky areas. I would not want my money invested in green tech right now. China is already HUGELY in debt (as are we) but they also have no SS system, so any investments they make are with funny money. Their lmoney supply is far higher than anything our Fed would countenance. That's why all those people invested in the RE bubble; they had nowhere else to go to prepare for retirement.

I have a suspicion that abortion is one of those things that is so obviously wrong that, emotionally, supporters need it forced on a national level just to assuage their own feelings. Every happy child or adult who would otherwise have been aborted is an extremely painful reminder of what they know to be true. Do not try to oppose abortion. That is impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth. There is no abortion. Then youll see that it is not a clump of cells disposed of. It is only murder.

------------------------
The ACA accelerated the current dumpster fire that is US healthcare financing. Please note that I specify *financing*. ACA added a huge # of people to Medicaid, and added huge burdens on private medical practices, which in turn drove many MDs into the arms of big hospital systems. And it jacked up the cost of private medical insurance. It was a dream law for making Americans even more pissed off with their health coverage, costs, and desirous of the Big Government option for healthcare.

I'll probably start cheap, with some Federal LE overrun lots. I was happy with their gel performance. HST would be ideal but I don't think I can commit to buying a case of that.
Posted by: Mark Andrew Edwards ------ SG Ammo did have excellent case prices on former LE ammo--They pretty much use HST or Winchester nowadays due to Remington being out of production for awhile.

My point. The Chinese government has "invested" in some pretty shaky areas. I would not want my money invested in green tech right now. China is already HUGELY in debt (as are we) but they also have no SS system, so any investments they make are with funny money. Their lmoney supply is far higher than anything our Fed would countenance. That's why all those people invested in the RE bubble; they had nowhere else to go to prepare for retirement. It all strikes me as a recipe for civil strife.
Posted by: Archimedes ------- Could be but aging population makes it less likely. More likely to get something like a worse version of Japan's economic malaise lasting decades.

Last time I looked into the "false" claims generally feel into the following categories 1) Jokes 2) Exaggerations 3) Statements where the FNM are the ones actually lying The left will often pretend jokes are delivered seriously...remember the speech where Trump called on Putin to release Hillary's illegally scrubbed emails? I guess #2 could be "lies" but...Trump is the only one that ever gets hit with that. And frankly the FNM lies constantly so #3 is a large category...

++++ Too old? Yes. I am worried about age for both of them, as I am worried about age for more or less everyone in that age group when they have serious responsibilities. But age can be offset - at least to a point - by two things: 1. Competence 2. Succession planning Biden has neither. Trump has the first (though I think it isn't as good as his first time 'round, but objectively I think Trump still has "it") and we'll see about the second.

Already has the cut in the slide for mounting red dot. Also has both a grip safety and can be had either with a manual safety or not.

I guess #2 could be "lies" but...Trump is the only one that ever gets hit with that. And frankly the FNM lies constantly so #3 is a large category...

Posted by: Montec at February 12, 2024 01:24 PM (YofvK) I don't think most places have banned it or are planning on banning it. The trouble with your argument is that it leads to "we just need to ease things up a bit" which eventually leads to "if they haven't graduated HS yet, fair game". And before you poopoo the slippery slope argument, consider gay marriage and the fact that Democrats have already passed abortion until birth and, I believe, in one case saying that a mother cannot be prosecuted for a baby under six weeks dying of neglect.

Most voters weigh the variety of issues and war (UKR and HamAss)/economy have historically been right up there. Immigration is probably replacing Covid in 2024 as the most important temporal issue.

This is why he could not remember the day of Beau's death or even the year. He has used the causes of Beau's demise in so many circumstances and scenarios that now he is stumped.

What is a woman?
I saw a debate that had Michael Knowles vs three feminists. The question "what is a woman" came up. One feminist refused to answer and made it clear she was afraid to. The other two agreed that trans-women are women. But there are multiple categories of women and trans-women aren't the same as women-women but they were women and anyone that disagrees is a bigot.

It's utterly barbaric to make killing babies a push-poll topic. If we're going to have the snuffing out of human life be legal - and tolerate the moral depravity it's emblematic of - can't we at least pretend it's not one of the most important issues facing the country?

Posted by: Joe Mannix -------- Dunno, going through the dementia thing with a close relative and that relative has good days and bad days. Plus, vascular dementia (common in stroke patients), which is something that Joe has, produces different symptoms and outcomes than Alzheimers. People with both as my relative does, don't have as predictable prognosis as to separate the effects and longevity in any particular stage of dementia.

For he knew who was going to betray him etc. so EVEN IF Jesus himself washed your feet, it doesn't mean you're good to go. In fact, I imagine it's quite a bit worse in judgement if Jesus actually washed your feet and you then treat his blood like a doormat.
