Joe Biden has spent the last several months laying out the reasons why it would be a terrible idea to give Donald Trump a second term in officeā€”reasons that include everything from Trumpā€™s assault on reproductive rights to his pledge to be a dictator only ā€œon day one.ā€ And on Wednesday, the president added another entry to the list: the fact that his opponent appears to have completely lost touch with reality.

Speaking to supporters at a fundraiser in San Francisco, Biden reportedly referred to Trumpā€™s claim that he and Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalnyā€”who recently died in an Arctic penal colonyā€”had suffered similar treatment, with the president remarking, ā€œSome of the things that this fellowā€™s been saying, like heā€™s comparing himself to Navalny and saying thatā€”because our countryā€™s become a communist country, he was persecuted, just like Navalny was persecuted. I donā€™t know where the hell this comes from.ā€ Biden added: ā€œI mean, if I stood here 10, 15 years ago and said any of this, youā€™d all think I should be committed. It astounds me.ā€

    lets not get into mental acuity fighting, no one is ganna win there. This is just some BS middle school shit, just beat the other on the issues. And for fucking once maybe try doing the things you promise on the campaign trail, I mean you know he will, he will be dictator for a day, then maybe just a few more, you know when it feels right to give the power back.

      There is a very very clear winner here. It might be the one eyed man being king in the country of the blind, but itā€™s no contest at all.
