Has President Biden

[Neil]

Cicero is no modern economist and his views would be considered fringe lunacy by most economists. And he is by no means considered a positive figure by modern historians.

"Likewise, no other ancient personality has inspired as much venomous dislike as Cicero, especially in more modern times.[142] His commitment to the values of the Republic accommodated a hatred of the poor and persistent opposition to the advocates and mechanisms of popular representation.[143] Friedrich Engels referred to him as "the most contemptible scoundrel in history" for upholding republican "democracy" while at the same time denouncing land and class reforms.[144] Cicero has faced criticism for exaggerating the democratic qualities of republican Rome, and for defending the Roman oligarchy against the popular reforms of Caesar.[145] Michael Parenti admits Cicero's abilities as an orator, but finds him a vain, pompous and hypocritical personality who, when it suited him, could show public support for popular causes that he privately despised. Parenti presents Cicero's prosecution of the Catiline conspiracy as legally flawed at least, and possibly unlawful."

So not exactly a recipe for our modern world.

The reason Biden hasn't had any press conferences is because he can't He can't think. If he can't read the answers he is screwed. Yet this mentally impaired fool is in charge of our national security. Thats why his handlers rush him away should he encounter the press anywhere. But there was no voter fraud!

[Neil]

Total nonsense. Alt right conspiracy BS.

Best use of Cicero is using his works to teach Latin. That'll test your metal,

I'm an expert on science and medicine, not cities or politics.

Obviously I was quoting others. Advice from ancient Romans on how to run our modern societies sounds dubious, at best.

Maybe you'd like to return to Biblical sources and reinstitute slavery, human sacrifice, etc.?

When did it stop It's still going on in Africa and the middle east...

Instead of misdirection, maybe it was the obvious statement referring to your wanting to in this country........you could start up that Satanic cult, summon some demons, or open a portal to the outsiders.

Seems a hard-nosed presumption , even mean and bitchy.
Apparently, you are not aware (but if you are then you are, in fact, mean-spirited) that he has had a stutter for a portion of his life. Thus, reading from a promotor likely helps steady his voice and presentation ; thus, helping to steady us. Having a stutter is not a personal failing . It is an affliction, which deserves support and patience and understanding . Having a stutter is certainly NOT being a "mentally impaired fool," as you accused.

Understand ? (!)

[robert.]

No stuttering does not mean is is a fool or mentally ill . There is something about his posture, appearance, mannerism or gate. That says ' something is off" He does not have the same spryness he had 6-8 months ago.

Oh dear. I hope that doesn't mean he is physically unwell . If so, would you be asserting that would be a serious lacking or flaw in his ability to lead? You?

[robert.]

I haven't liked the last 4 wind bags. They have all been full of sheet and not leading me. I have worked for the president's family. I have meet him at his brothers house. He is not the same person i met a year ago. Maybe a year of campaigning put a whooping on him. I know he lost 2 children. That should about wreck any human. You can't recover from that. I would cry myself to sleep every night. I don't know how one would function at that point.

[MurphOnMillerAve]

...with the same kind of courage he faced his stuttering and being bullied for it during childhood. Even a teacher in his parochial grade school mocked him for it.
