There is a view that the the "broad language" of the USA Supreme Court's draft opinion on Roe v. Wade Broad jeopardizes everything from the right to health care to interracial marriage and marriage equality.

Right wingers champions of individual freedom. NOT
Right wingers brave fighters against cancelling people's culture. NOT

Two developments today:

Firstly, Joe Biden's sister hinted that her brother will be running again in 2024.

Secondly, Elon Musk has said that Donald Trump is welcome back on Twitter, and that his ban was a monumental mistake.

Popcorn time!!! Mid terms first mind.

Firstly, Do you think Joe Biden knows this? 😄
Secondly, Banning people just because you disagree with them is not democratic.

Twitter banned trump for these reasons - https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/company/2020/suspension

You can make your own mind up if that's fair.

I just don't like banning an opinion. Also at this time he has not been found guilty of incitement, That process is still going on in the US on whether he stands trial for it or allowed to run for office again, See where that ends up then he's banned if found guilty.

I doubt that Sleepy knows what day of the week it is.

I think you're confusing him with Reagan who not only didn't know what day it was he didn't know who was president!

Ronald Reagan was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in late 1994 nearly 6 years after he left office. It is said that he could not remember having been President in his later years but not while he was in office. It is unproven that he had this illness while in office. His inspiring “Tear Down This Wall” speech in June 1987 suggests that if he had this condition then it was not affecting him too badly.

Do you think that even at his worst, Reagan would've come up with a gaffe this bad?...

Biden overcame a stutter to attain the highest office in his land. On occasion it gets the better of him.
