• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I believe I do as well as many in the Democrat Party, it is your explanation and cover for this man who absolutely has a cognitive issue that I do not understand. Time will expose the truth here.
I saw much of his presser yesterday and I did not see a man with cognitive issues. His ability to think and reason should not be in doubt. Nor does he exhibit problems with memory. (And, FYI, it is not "Democrat Party" as the mods recently reminded us.)

You do realize if he didn't have the teleprompter it most likely would have been much worse. The bar was set so low if he even showed up (was 90 min. late) it would be a win for him.

His ability to think and reason should not be in doubt.
Seems like a lot of people on the left disagree with your assessment.

Nor does he exhibit problems with memory.
????????

(And, FYI, it is not "Democrat Party" as the mods recently reminded us.)
Can you provide a link to the forums position on that? How can that be taken as a slight in anyway? None was intended for sure. What is the politically correct term?

...and you do realize Biden was only reading from the Teleprompter during his brief opening remarks. It was a press conference after all.

I also notice nobody has taken issue with substance of his answers on foreign policy. Instead we hear about his being tardy, or his obvious miscues with names, etc. Alas, this is the Jr High level of our political discourse today in America.

How do you do a press conference with a teleprompter?

Is this an assertion?
Well now there is record of this happening before in an interview and recently. Are you implying this could not happen? Biden was given a list of who to call on.

I’m asking if you are asserting that this particular news conference was scripted and that Biden was simply following the script without having to speak extemporaneously.
