1. What about the current one?

[sop]

8. He wasn't capable back in 2016, much less now.

[jls4561]

22. Or anyone in the current administration?

That includes you, JD pope-killer puddin’ butt.

[Basso8vb]

2. Keep it up, Couchfucker. There's a light pole with your name on it.

[Keepthesoulalive]

3. Stop carrying republican water

Donnie dementia is the problem.

[JBTaurus83]

4. The current president

Is not capable of doing the job. I don’t know if we need to have that conversation now or sometime in the future 🙄. I’ve been critical of Biden’s decision to run again, but let’s get real. This is getting to the point of comedy that no one is pointing out the mental issues of the pig.

[Picaro]

5. JD Vance as always gets this one wrong

What we need to discuss is whether the current occupant of the White House is anywhere close to being mentally sharp enough to do the job that he’s supposed to be doing.

JD Vance is a horse‘s ass.

My father had a three tiered scale of asses. One was a simple ass. Two was a jackass. And three was a horse’s ass. JD Vance achieves that going away.

[aocommunalpunch]

6. He's just a liar and a POS. n/t

[BootinUp]

[Coolgoober]

10. Let's Be Honest

I think we need to be honest right f'n now whether the currant president is capable of doing the job.
Let me start the conversation. NO, HE IS NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NEOH]

11. Please CFucker!!!

Please, Couchfucker!!! Let the man be in peace!! He’s probably seriously ill. Leave him alone you piece of human trash!!

[Autumn]

12. Let's honestly talk about if you and fat ass are capable of doing any job.

That will be a short conversation.

[Paladin]

13. Fuck you where you breathe, Vance. (nt)

[C_U_L8R]

14. Eyeliner dude can't even hump furniture appropriately.

And doesn't even seem capable of sticking to one made-up name.

[claudette]

15. No. It's more like

is the current president capable of doing the job. NO he is not

[Progressive dog]

16. Honestly, the current president has

never been capable of doing the job.

[MustLoveBeagles]

31. That needs to be the real topic of conversation

[kentuck]

17. Look at the results.

He did pretty good.

[bif]

18. Just shut the fuck up, already!

No one gives a flying fuck what you think, asshole!

[marble falls]

19. Screw that twisted little wad of wasted protoplasm.

[milestogo]

20. What a piece of garbage he is.

[uponit7771]

21. M$M helping MAGA change the subject is why they're losing their audience

[634-5789]

23. Go fuck yourself, Vance.

Gloves are OFF. Let's GO.

[MineralMan]

24. And the current President, as well.

[Conjuay]

25. Hey Vance,

Has it yet crossed that feeble, little mind of yours, that, instead of bullying the former president, you could call the present one senile and actually get HIS job?
You really are fucking stupid.

[rampartd]

26. biden's dog wis capable of a better jpb than the trump loser

[LoisB]

27. Well, we do know for a fact that neither you or that thing that squats in the W.H. now are

capable of "doing the job".

[Raven123]

28. Can we PLEASE focus on the "Big Beautiful Tax Bill" making its way through Congress?

[karynnj]

29. Let's take that comment to the only logical conclusion

Biden is out of office this it is not relevant in his case. The logical conclusion is that the country needs to always assess the competence of the existing President. Vance is clearly smart enough to understand this inference ... and he has a vested interest here.

The question is does Trump remember that Vance switched between being one of the strongest name calling critics to a Trump follower pretty much as soon as Thiel pushed him for VP. Remember that during Trump's first term there were serious stories of cabinet members considering the 25th amendment. I think we should call this a veiled suggestion that when a President seems incapable they should be removed.

I noticed in DU comments the majority of responses go directly there. I can't see twitter anymore because I deleted my rarely used account. I would imagine Trump would be furious if that is a common response beyond DU.

As to Biden, I would refer to the SOTU and the very detailed foreign policy press conference after the disastrous debate. I wonder if any neuropsychologist as looked at either of these extended events to assess his cognition?

While it is clear that he aged a lot as President and it showed physically though he still was riding bikes etc. I suspect that what Democrats are acknowledging is that his age and appearance created an image of a frail elder statesman ... In a country that always looks for vigor. I suspect that the terribleness of the debate was a factor of both his being sick and having to face a bully viciously spewing lies as facts in every sentence. Having been protected from direct exposure to that for three years likely made him feel like he was being beaten up. I do wonder if his team had someone accurately play Trump in practice. In hindsight, a prepared answer saying there was not time to counter the many lies in Trump's answer though we will issue a fact check, but my answer to the question is....

It may have been that he was competent to BE President, but not capable of running for President ... and given the aging in the first term, an insightful honest deeply personal analysis might have concluded that it would be questionable if he could be President for four more years.

The fact is that had Harris won, this would not be a huge issue. None of the accusations I have read suggest there was any foreign or domestic issue that was handled badly because he was not able.

[Diamond_Dog]

30. Shut up you disgraceful asshole Vance

Your current boss is as demented and incompetent as they come, but you’re too far up his ass to see it.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

32. I'm more worried about the current president

Dementia runs in his family.

[DallasNE]

33. In Hindsight Biden Certainly Was

But is Trump now? That is the real question.

8 + 6 + 4 + 7 =25 or 25th Amendment.

[roamer65]

34. Go fuck a couch, a$$h0le.

[Hekate]

35. JD Vance needs to spend some time in a confessional

[SADAR]

36. I guess that's true

if your brains are up your ass like JD's.
