Obviously, that's not true, unless you say the former physician to Obama and Trump isn't an expert.

I was directly responding to what you explicitly said.

If you agree that I never claimed that all doctors say he is senile, what was the point of your posting about a doctor who said he's not senile?

"he is a puppet"

Sorry, when he mumbles at press conferences things like "they won't let me take questions", who is the "they" that he's referring to?

"look up how to diagnosis dementia. None of those took place."

You guys are precious. So why is it OK for you to say he doesn't have it, on the basis that you spent some time with someone who does?

Clearly, you're going to reflexively ignore his behavior in front of your wyes, you're going to ignore doctors who say it appears he's senile. Fine. But when you elect a mentally weak person who wasn't all that impressive to start with, don't be shocked when the results are exactly what we're seeing.

"Biden does not have problems with either."

Clearly YOU are in a better position to say that, than a physician to two presidents.

He has press advisors. The same as every other president has had. They all want the Pres. to stick to the subject and not get off on tangents and to control the interview - not let the press control it.

I believe that the quote about not answering questions was as follows:

"You guys are bad. I’m not supposed to be answering all these questions,” the president said. “I’m supposed to leave, but I can’t resist your questions.”

“He takes questions nearly every day he’s out from the press,” Psaki told CNN analyst David Axelrod on “The Axe Files” podcast May 6. “That is not something we recommend. In fact, a lot of times, we say, ‘Don’t take questions.’ But he’s going to do what he wants to do because he’s the president of the United States.”

So how is his daily life and independent function impaired?

he’s obviously feeble, he often appears very confused and disoriented. if you’ve never seen that, not once, then you’re right to feel that way. maybe i’m
just a lying dog faced pony soldier.

you asked when was obama mean to biden. did you seee the video of the two of them at some gathering at the white house, obama completely ignored biden. idea walked up to obama, put his hand on his shoulder, said “Barack”, and obama didn’t even turn to loom at him, that’s the president.

Municipalities and States are not necessarily obligated to enforce Federal laws. Why do you think weed is legal in many states?

It’s still illegal, federally, in all states

is what the states are doing then, in violation of federal law, or not?

doesn’t the constitution’s supremacy clause say that federal law trumps state law?

is it that the states aren’t violating federal law? or are they explicitly breaking federal law, and the feds are looking the other way?

if it’s the latter, then why do i pay federal income tax? why can’t i choose to not comply with that federal law?

can the DEA arrest people
in Massachusetts for smoking pot?

i presume, the answer is that once again, liberals believe they can pick and choose which laws they can just ignore, and for some reason they get away with it.

Jim it is not the state’s responsibility to enforce federal law.. they don’t get paid by the federal government to do it so most states don’t..

So much for states Rights

And you have no idea what a sanctuary city even means outside your conservative indoctrinated meaning you think or believe that it refers to a city that doesn’t prosecute immigrants,

generally speaking, it’s a city (or a county, or a state) that limits its cooperation with federal immigration enforcement agents in order to protect low-priority immigrants from deportation, while still turning over those who have committed serious crimes

So in a nut shell illegal immigration is a misdemeanor And states won’t waste resources on non violent offenders

sanctuary cities see 15% less crime than non-sanctuary cities.

For 7th Consecutive Year, Visa Overstays Exceeded Illegal Border Crossings

people who overstayed their visas accounted for 62 percent of the newly undocumented, while 38 percent had crossed a border illegally.

Omg how could conservatives be lying to Their sheep

i never came CLOSE to saying the states had the responsibility to enforce federal law. but it looks like blue states are going out of their way to violate federal
law, and that’s different. and the supremacy clause seems to say they can’t do that.

you’re saying states aren’t responsible for federal law, and i agree.

please tell me, then, why texans should have to spend $1 billion a year because the federal government chooses to have open borders, while liberals in MN and VT pay just about nothing. how is that fair to texans?

If citizens of Mass can reject federal
laws banning weed, why can’t i reject federal laws saying i must pay federal income tax? who gets to decide which of us can break federal laws,,and which of us can’t?

you’re denying that illegals put stress in local communities ability or provide education, healthcare, housing, police and social
services.


no liberal policy has ever resulted in a problem! not once! right?

the border mess is going to get worse, interest rates are going to skyrocket, which at best will slow down the economy, at worst trigger a recession later this year.

the one thing he had going for him
was the economy, and that’s now very uncertain.

free advice, hoard cash and get back into the market when it blows up.

The governor of Texas, catering to nativist fears and prejudices, sends a busload of immigrants to Washington, D.C.

A social science project: Track those immigrants over the next few years.

Prediction: Their economic contribution will be net positive for wherever they settle.

This same governor is driving up prices across America by purposefully slowing down traffic at ports of entry, causing massive truck backups. Imagine how much produce will spoil. Imagine the price of produce increasing for this reason. It’s on Abbott.

tell me why texans should
have to bear the burden and cost of illegals who are here because the feds choose to let them in.

you want the open border? why don’t you pay the cost to feed, house, educate, and provide medical care for them?

why does the burden fall
to TX? they didn’t ask for it.

He’s interfering in international trade
He’s affecting many American industries for his political purpose.

Are truckers planning on a convoy circling Greg Abbotts house, in protest of ACTUAL restrictions limiting the ability to do their job?

Over 150 million dollars of fresh produce is currently rotting at the US-Mexico border, thanks to Greg Abbott.

Greg Abbott reverses course, repeals order that roadblocked hundreds of millions of dollars worth of goods at the US-Mexico border.

Abbott bows to the massive outcry over his policy — including criticism from truckers, business interests & anyone with common sense.

Greg Abbott is starving his own voters to own the libs

It’s the only policy the GOP has and their Jerry Springer base loves it….

Imagine if Biden. deliberately snarl traffic on the U.S. southern border — leaving food to rot and critical components for cars and other manufacturing to remain inaccessible to U.S. companies and consumers. For a campaign Ad.

Republicans Hypocritical always

why should residents of TX spend $1b a year in illegal immigration,,because the feds won’t do their job? how do you suppose residents of southern TX feel? does that matter to guys to all?

he’s up for re election in november . if he’s starving his residents, they’ll boot him out.

you’re ignoring why he did it. i’m not saying he was right. but the feds are really screwing the state of TX.

easy to ignore that in new england.

Texans want illegal immigration dealt with. they have valid reasons to want that.

one side of Abbott’s inspection is the impact on tr#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g, and it’s totally fair to discuss that.

the other side,,which you’re ignoring, is the impact open borders have on people who live near the border. imagine owning g a ranch near the border and watching an endless parade of illegals
walking in your land,,dropping garbage and urinating all over the place. those texans pay taxes too.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s truck inspection order probably violated the dormant commerce clause of the constitution. Food wholesalers, retailers and customers should sue him.

How so? I'm not up on the details. But commerce coming from Mexico is not interstate commerce. It is not commerce crossing from one state into another. Nor is it commerce between (among) the states. It's not even actual commerce. Inspection is, in itself, not a commercial transaction. I see no constitutional reason that a state cannot inspect foreign goods coming into its territory. But, again, I don't know the details of Abbott's truck inspection.

Russian despot Vladimir Putin is causing gas prices to rise. Texas despot Greg Abbott is doing the same to food prices. Don’t let either avoid accountability.
