Former President Trump said he wants President Biden to be drug-tested before their first debate.

“I’m gonna demand a drug test too, by the way,” Trump said at the Minnesota Republican Party’s Lincoln Reagan Dinner Friday. “I am, no I really am. I don’t want him coming in like the State of the Union, he was high as a kite.”

Trump has previously stated in a radio interview that Biden was “all jacked up” at the beginning of his State of the Union address, as well as “higher than a kite.”

      It’s literally a choice between status quo, or the last election in America. If it’s sunk, that is more a result of you then anything the entire Democrat party can do.

        So… to be clear… your response to someone saying that Democrats are fucking up by thinking “but have you seen him?”… is to double down on “but but but, have you seen him!!!”

        Trump needs to be in a prison, but this shit is directly how the DNC is continuing to shoot itself in the foot with a significant chunk of the population.

          The popular vote? Hillary. The egregiously outdated and unfair electoral college vote? The bloated, corrupt rapist that is also a flailing and failing oligarch.

            What the 2 party system delivers?

            I agree.

            But cute sidestep on the question.

            I endorse invalidating the 2 party system by not participating in the 2 party system and forcing reform.

            You aparently want round 2, Genocidal Joe vs Always was that Trump, but expect a new result. Electric boogaloo.

            I also won’t vote for militarized police and genocide.

            So there’s that too.

              And how do you plan to do that before shit turns bad?

              You shouldn’t just ignore elections as if they won’t affect you. Unless you have a plan to fix it before the next one. So what’s your plan?

                I dont. Shits already bad.

                Not ignoring it. Awarely and consciously abstaining.

                  So, you’re doing absolutely nothing except consciously support the rapist fuck who wants to sell out the whole country to Russia? Gotcha.

                    That was always the case all along. Don’t believe them when they tell you they are trying to change the system. They are as status quo as it gets.

              Well folks, I’ve got some news. Melkath didn’t vote. There’s only one course now. Electoral College? Scrapped! FPTP voting? Scrapped! Two Party System? Scrapped!

                As long as at least 1 other person in the country is still voting, “not voting” will never invalidate the system. There’s no quorum that has to be met. If only 7 ballots get cast in your state, then all the votes go to the guy that got 4. All you’ve done by refusing to participate is give the make the other voices louder.

                  You get no argument from me! 100% agree. I’m as frustrated as anyone that this is the case, but it is. Maybe everyone has to have their one “reform” vote lesson. I voted for Nader once. I still get a hard time for that from some people.

              Show me an example in history where doing nothing brought desired change.

              Just ONE example.
