I never saw Joe Biden fall asleep during meetings or especially when he traveled to other countries. Whether he did or not, I never saw it. He may have stumbled with his words and was a bit unsteady on his feet, but never to the extent the piggy in chief falls asleep and literally doesn’t know where he is or where he’s going. The double standard is astonishing.

The difference is that President Biden - certainly one of THE best presidents - had a stuttering problem as I did as a child, so it got worse as he aged.

On the other hand, Bunkerboy - without a doubt THE worst and most evil president - is just DUMB. VERY, VERY dumb. It’s horrific diet and lack of exercise led to this narcolepsy that leads It to sleeping during the day and being awake and furious at night.

I was quite positive that after Biden won, the Repubs would (quietly) enjoy a taste of order, humanity and grace that ANY other POTUS would bring and that the U.S. would slip back into our usual (marginally effective as it is) democracy.......yeah......

From day 1 they were raking Joe through the coals with FJB flags on full display. Good job, Donny, you broke us.

Ok David, your title had me seriously laughing out loud, and I haven’t even listened to the podcast! Can’t wait. I appreciate the work you and others are doing.

It's such a double standard.

When one side has no standards, no integrity and only obeys the schoolyard bully, what do you expect? So much for college level education of our leaders. This confirms that for them it was a waste of money. We have a president who acts like he is still in 6th grade. Given that, he fully meets their low expectations.

"Republicans argue that [all Democratic] candidates... ...should be disqualified from running for public office."

Youre podcast is so boring.im sorry to say. Not acute enough. You need to attack like a surgeon extracting a cancer. That's the fucking problem with the Dems. I'm in no way eligible to comment. I'm from Scotland. But this substack lacks verve.

I disagree. Parkman offers substance over sizzle.

Agree, this is a difference in cultures. British debates are pretty robust.

Screaming and hollering may get you attention, but it does not always get you what you want. Trump still thinks by throwing a angry temper tantrum, others will cave and do what he wants. It only works on his children, the Republicans.

In the end, David's slow, but steady approach has a better history of outcome than emotional irrational knee jerk responses. Politics may seem like a boxing match, but fortunately we want our government to work where cooler heads prevail.

OK. That's what you think. That's grand.

I have watched the robust debates in Parliament. I am most impressed with the English verbal skills as they have a mastery of the language. US lacks this talent unfortunately. While impressive, the effect seems to be lost the minute what is said is not always translated into action. As a result Starmer was shown the door. The point, being loud may feel good, but it is not always effective.

There are 2 ways to handle our psycho. You can get into a dog fight with him which is loves the attention. But it gets you nowhere. Then you do the one thing he hates the most, ignore and silence.

I call your attention to Mark Carney leader of Canada. For every tariff "punch" Trump throws Carney, he counters in ways Trump cannot counter. For example aluminum. US does not and cannot produce enough. Trump throws a big tariff on it. Canada then gets contracts abroad to sell the aluminum somewhere else. US will then have to buy that aluminum at higher prices from abroad that was originally made in Canada. Same for lumber. US housing prices will now jump 25% for lack of Canadian lumber. This we call shooting oneself in the foot.

I see what he (djt) did there. Called it JCPOC rather than JCPOA - he’s obsessed that a person of color (POC) beat him out in EVERY CATEGORY full stop. ✋🏿 He’s so jealous of Obama he can’t stop thinking about it. Obama is renting a luxury home in djt’s head for FREE!!!!
