    Biden has said in countless interviews that he has been instructed not to answer questions and he will get in trouble. His remarks have been abruptly cut off by some mystery shot caller. What was he going to say? Was he going to expose someone? Why was it so important to cut him off? All these questions need to be answered.

    Do you believe Biden is the man in charge or is he a puppet?

    I believe any person in the POTUS seat is a puppet. The political parties exist to keep us preoccupied fighting amongst ourselves but the country is run by a network of super rich and powerful people. They call all the shots.

    I also don't believe that Biden has any cognitive disorder. He's used to being buried among all the Senators and then 2nd to Obama. He doesn't have a ton of practice in front of the microphone. I personally don't put too much weight into it when Biden does that. He's never been an eloquent speaker. I also think it's more noticeable now because Trump, while not eloquent, was able to speak for long periods because he just talked about the same stuff. I don't believe he's ever read a speech except maybe the one denouncing the Capitol rioters which was probably demanded of him by his lawyers.

    I disagree. I do think they have some sort of pressure from someone. But you can’t say trump did. He pretty much made all the calls. I think he had the puppet masters so infuriated that they were working against him to try and regain their control.

    Trump is used to calling all the shots because he has a bunch of private businesses but he doesn't understand that's not how government works. He never really came to understand that he can't just fire everybody (although he tried) or just make a phone call and have people bend over backwards to do his bidding.

    He was in control in the sense that he was out of control. Being a bully and rage-aholic is not the same thing as effective leadership.

    I definitely agree he was not an effective leader in some ways. But he most definitely was not a puppet.

    Do you think you would feel the way you do about Biden if he succeeded a different Republican POTUS?

    Why would I? You mean if he succeeded a Republican puppet like George Bush Sr? Yes I probably would cause the contrast isn’t as sharp. But I still have never seen a presidents words been intentionally cutoff as if what he had to say wasn’t important.

    I haven't seen the clip of what you're describing. Did that happen today? Where did you see it?

    Biden is definitely the man in charge. I don't buy the whole deep state conspiracy theory and there is no reason for this administration to be fundamentally different from any other.

    That must be it. I mean why wouldn’t he tell his staff to cut off his announcements. Makes total sense.

    He is a puppet.....
    and once the numbers come out it will be proven that Bernie actually stomped him in the DNC leadership race.......
    but that was stolen as well.

    And your proof is? (Bearing in mind of course the fact your opinion is not 'proof'.)

    Christopher Columbus had a hunch that the world wasn't flat - but it was just his opinion - and all of the palace eunuchs said Chris had no proof so his idea was invalid, because they couldn't bear the thought of being wrong.

    People of the time already knew the world was round, that is established fact. The idea that that they didn't is a modern misconception. Your point?

    So now we are revising history to suit your narrow view and protect your understanding of the world?

    Since you are speaking for the "People of the time," what proof are you citing as "established fact"?

    Here you go.
    https://blogs.bl.uk/digitisedmanuscripts/2018/05/the-earth-is-in-fact-round.html

    Also from the Harvard University Press Article: 'Before Columbus, Geographers and other Educated People Thought the world was falt.'

    " Scholars in antiquity developed a very clear spherical model of the earth and the heavens. Every major Greek geographical thinker, including Aristotle (384–322 bce), Aristarchus of Samos (310–230 bce), Eratosthenes (273–ca.192 bce), and Claudius Ptolemy (ca. 90–ca.168), based his geographical and astronomical work on the theory that the earth was a sphere. Likewise, all of the major Roman commentators — including Pliny the Elder (23–79), Pomponius Mela (first century), and Macrobius (fourth century) — agreed that the earth must be round. Their conclusions were in part philosophical — a spherical universe required a sphere in the middle — but were also based on mathematical and astronomical reasoning. Most famous was Aristotle’s proof of the sphericity of the earth, an argument used by many thinkers in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.

    If we examine the work of even early-medieval writers, particularly in Europe, we find that with few exceptions they held a spherical-earth theory. Among the early church fathers, Augustine (354–430), Jerome (d. 420), and Ambrose (d. 420) all agreed that the earth was a sphere. Only Lactantius (early fourth century) provided a dissenting opinion, but he rejected all pagan learning because it distracted people from their real work of achieving salvation.

    From the seventh to the fourteenth century, every important medieval thinker concerned about the natural world stated more or less explicitly that the world was a globe, and many of them incorporated Ptolemy’s astronomy and Aristotle’s physics into their work. Thomas Aquinas (1225–1274), for example, followed Aristotle’s proof in demonstrating that the changing positions of the constellations as one moved about on the earth’s surface indicated the spherical shape of the earth. Roger Bacon (ca. 1214/ 1220–ca. 1294), in his Opus Maius (ca. 1270), stated that the world was round, that the southern antipodes were inhabited, and that the sun’s passage along the line of the ecliptic affected the climates of different parts of the world. Albertus Magnus (d. 1280) agreed with Bacon’s findings, while Michael Scot (1175–1234) “compared the earth, surrounded by water, to the yolk of an egg and the spheres of the universe to the layers of an onion.” Perhaps the most influential geographers were Jean de Sacrobosco (1195–1256), whose De Sphera (ca. 1230) demonstrated that the earth was a globe, and Pierre d’Ailly (1350– 1410), Archbishop of Cambrai, whose Imago Mundi (written in 1410) discussed the sphericity of the earth.8 Both of these books enjoyed great popularity; Sacrobosco’s was used as a basic textbook throughout the Middle Ages, while d’Ailly’s was read by early explorers, such as Columbus.'

    I could go on. But do I really need to?

    Hokey smokes. Trump was hated because he couldn’t be controlled by the true power in DC.

    If you actually believe Biden doesn’t have a cognitive disorder then you haven’t paid any attention to him over his career.

    Well that settles it then. Your cutting edge analysis, clever marshaling of the facts and clear headed reasoning have clearly defeated my humble attempts at debate! :roll:
