I was really thinking this season of Election was going to be lackluster given the current cast, but the showrunners are pulling out all the stops (especially with all the unexpected comedy) and I can't wait to see how it ends.

Joe's getting a posthumous Emmy for this one, no one could have better embodied the collapse of a dying empire
I’ve heard critics saying it’s too on the nose
Unironically, WaPo/NYT was describing the Trump hearings as “America’s prestige television” and refered to a bunch of random nobodies as casts. But like no one gives a shit about that. Not even liberals lol. This is a much better show.
Why won’t god take me 
I Have No Malarkey and I Must Scream
hes having a field day
Did Trump himself refer to Trump Derangement Syndrome? What a a time to be alive
Lmfao no way, what a time to be in an election cycle
He first started doing this a couple months ago. He must've talked to some terminally online person at a rally and picked up the phrase
terminally online
good point
This is pretty weak. Would’ve been funnier if he was less bitter and said something “I’m honored you chose me, Joe! But I prefer being president again!”
It's not even Friday or the convention yet 
Certified 
moment.
the only other interpretation I can think of is that he's referring to the reporter, while addressing the rest of the room. a "get a load of this guy" kind of thing
Nah the emphasis on HIM makes me feel like he's trying to say, listen to how much Trump's brain is also melting out of his ears every time he speaks. Let he who is free of dementia cast the first stone
I love the deflection to pretend like Trump's dementia (or whatever is wrong with him) is anything but the strongest point in his own favor.
Trump is still at like 90% of how he was in 2016. Sure he's a little slower and gets off on weird shit periodically, but some of what democrats wants to act like is dementia is just Trump's fucked up personality or showmanship or insane opinions, etc.
Like when he says "I want to execute all the drug dealers! Like Xi! I asked him about helping us with executions in CHYNA and he was willing, folks!"
That's not dementia it's just an old reactionary asshole, possibly lying (don't know Xi's opinion on this but whatever kinda irrelevant), going on a quasi racist rant, with definitely reactionary and objectively ineffective solutions to a real problem which capitalism can't solve.
But the media seems to think like oh look at Trump again, look at him blathering on. Yeah, he rambles on shit, but it has a point. Either a joke or incredibly horrific policy ideas usually. Biden has a point but going from point A to B he goes off on a trip to C, D, E, M, forgets how the hell he got there, stares off, says ANYWAY, and then goes to point N before changing subjects. He's forgetting the talking points, he lacks the ability to really process changes as facts change (or "facts" ie "beheaded babies"), and he just so very very clearly has trouble finishing full thoughts.
I really wish they'd stop running the shit with Trump though. It's giving Trump a pass in a way like "no he doesn't mean all that stuff! Just crazy grandpa!" Yeah he's crazy but he knows what he's saying.
But libs gonna lib as always. Wish they'd stop milking this Biden shit and have Schumer shove his head into the guillotine block already and be done with it. Pelosi asked dems to wait for after NATO today, well, here we are. All done. Now get tiny daggers ready (metaphorically, and not me doing it- for legal reasons)
god help him if he ever starts saying numbers.. he can't tell the difference between million, billion, or trillion
He constantly goes to number one and number two, first thing, second thing in his speech pattern. It sounds like kind of how I feel if I get too high and cant keep my thoughts in order.
its like the family guy bit when louis ran for mayor
9/11!
Omg is he just too stoned all the time? He also says "by the way" and goes off on a tangent constantly
I feel like what he was trying to get across was "Listen to Trump's lack of respectable discourse and make your own decision," but yeah it did not land at all and was a stupid fucking answer either way.
He probably should have said that instead.
Listen Jack, it's too much to expect the "leader of the free world" to be even marginally coherent! Back in Scranton... where's my ice cream? 
That's what it was. One would think Biden would try to be coherent when responding to accusations of chronic incoherence but looks like he was not feeling it and left everyone second guessing.
He's saying "listen to trump" as in trump makes similar flubs, it's no big deal 
my first thought was maybe he meant it like "go ahead then, agree with trump you magat!"
like in 2019 when he told a voter to vote trump after they criticized reactionary policies under obama
This shit is so funny
At this rate, 
is gonna have to heart attack him just to keep the horse race plausible to 
and
But a heart attack will make the party look weak and pathetic. If he got the Oswald treatment, he’d be seen as a martyr who posed a threat to the conservatives
"God could my dad drive an open top limousine."
my fellow americans, we are so cooked
You heard that BlueMAGA? He said listen to the OG MAGA.
perhaps consider xcancel.com, instead of the nitter instance ran by (the notoriously far-right) poast.
unfortunately the poast one lets you open vid in new tab and save the video to your hard drive, whereas xcancel does not. not saying that's an endorsement, but it is pretty useful if you don't think something is going to stay up on twitter for political reasons.
oh, that's interesting, I didn't know that. I've just been using some twitter downloader website
seems like the difference is because poast directly links to twitters CDN, while the original nitter avoids any direct connections to twitter. Original nitter had a PR that made it work like poast does now, but nitter died before it could be merged.
yt-dlp can download videos from twitter or any nitter instance or really any social media you can publicly view.
It can get it from Twitter, but with:
nitter.poast.org
