    You're preaching to the choir. How any true Christian can support Trump based on his "Christianity" is beyond me. I guarantee if Trump was shown being pro choice would ensure his victory, he'd change course in a second.

    I'd rather our President be able to brag about his intellect without have to base it on a test one gets for dementia.

    Also, this clearly isn't all that I have. Trump has done and said so many asinine things over his life.

    Are you really proud that our President can supposedly pass a dementia test? And your challenge is to back that up without using the word Biden.

    As always, it says less about his supporters than it does him. He's a moronic charlatan who wonders when the bottom will fall out from underneath him every day. But the fact that 90-something percent of evangelicals support him is much, much more damning when he clearly uses their faith as a prop.

    I've posted on this before, but Trump has a gift for explaining things in a way that is memorable. It's a marketing skill. When speaking to the masses, it's better to have 1-2 things that are clearly remembered, rather than a long-winded explanation of many things. That's why Trump very carefully selects his words and then uses repetition and pacing. What sounds "dumb" to you, is actually genius marketing, done purposefully. I can recognize this because of my own personal brilliance; whereas you haven't picked up on it yet.

    Second, Trump's words are under more scrutiny that any human being alive. He must be very careful in his choice of words. To speak as much as he does in public is remarkable. Especially with an angry hoard of media members ready to pounce on every word. His cognitive abilities are extraordinarily high to be able to run the media gauntlet on a daily basis and fare well. On the other hand, Biden hides from a group of media who are desperate to see him win and will prop him up at every turn. A stark contrast.

    So...you chose not to answer my direct question. I guarantee if Obama were to brag about passing a dementia test, you’d be ridiculing him nonstop.

    It is laughable (to use one of your words) to justify a President for passing a cognitive ability test. It is a sad state of America when a nation is proud to have a President who can memorize 5 words for 30 minutes and correctly identify animals. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that my 9 year old grandson could ace that test.

    Is there something I am not reading into Biden's statement?

    The Latino community is incredibly diverse. You have people from Mexico, a number of Central American countries, and a number of countries from South America. Then you have Cuba and Puerto Rico. And Spain. While many speak Spanish, the Spanish they speak is different. The foods and cultures very different.

    And politically (which I believe Biden was referring to) they are pretty different. Lots of Latinos are very conservative and often vote with the republican party due to their very strong religious backgrounds. And people from Cuba often vote republican.

    Nearly one-third Latinos vote republican while only 10% of African Americans vote republican.

    So tell me, what's your beef with what Biden said?

    Pelosi and Schumer call out the US Postal General for reduced services levels (and lies) during COVID-19 increased demand and in advance of any mail-in ballot increases in demand...

    I thought they same way you did when i first heard it but I am not black. If blacks are offended by it, who are you to question their response?

    Trump has spoken highly of Planned Parenthood before and he says "He doesn't know if he donated to Planned Parenthood" given his denials on other things that tells me he probably has.

    You posted a self-described "pro-trump, anti squad" republican candidate who retweeted a pro-trump washington examiner. I'd hardly view that as "blacks are offended by it"...

    So out of the 40 million Black people, if one is offended then it's a offensive statement?

    I am not going to waste my time posting a bunch of tweets like you know who. Do your own research. She was not the only one offended.

    What is the ratio of Black people being offended where it's officially offensive?
