Was this the start of a US Presidential campaign

For Biden as a self-professed Catholic it is the same thing. You need to separate your own views and biases. It's Sleepy Joe, not BJauck we are discussing.

You should have said he was turning from his religion then. The Lord is shared amongst many other than just Catholics.

I repeatedly said turning from his principles. You constantly keep inserting your own opinions....which is not what we are discussing.

No. You switch from God to Church to principles. Fortunately for Trump he is a non-denominational Christian. So he has no Church to account to.

Don't you love it when typically white middle to older aged men want to control women's bodies. A religion that does not allow women in its ranks, a religion that does not allow the very people making these rules to have a family but they think they are the authority on families.

Wade vs Roe does not allow late term abortions, unless the women's life is in danger. This is a medical decision not a political one.

The Catholic church used to burn witches as well as did many other Christian faiths of the same 'Lord'. Perhaps we should still be smiting homosexuals, (its a pity they didn't have the same punishment for pedophiles), or cutting hands off a thief for stealing a loaf of bread for their family.

This is the same Catholic church who for years wouldn't allow contraceptives!
Ohhhh that rhythm method is really effective.

The same Catholic church that fostered pedophiles within their ranks.

How many Catholics turn up on a Sunday only to be absolute ****es on a Monday. But hey they can be forgiven in the confessional so that's OK.

Trump is the least moralistic person of all. He says what gullible people want to believe and yet you go after Biden's morals?
Oh but I'm not a Trump supporter.... 🙄
And yet you continually only go after Biden or his family.

You go after the first female & black vice president of the US and criticise her for using a catch phrase that clearly refers to not only the struggles of being a woman in American politics but a black one woman.
And yet it's precisely the views of men like your's that try to dictate to woman what they can and can't do.
The lack of self awareness is incredible and ironic.

Like many Catholic beliefs they have changed over time. Perhaps Biden is just more evolved than other Catholics and also knows the corruption of all faiths by man.

Whatever BJauck.

Sleepy Joe's brain is a house divided. That gnaws at a person. Has it hastened his dementia? Possibly.

The Shakespearean tragedies explore it at length, as do multiple stories in the Old Testament.

Reasons why not to diagnose dementia from afar:

1. The diagnosis often wrong

2. It stigmatises people living with dementia

3. It normalises unhelpful language

4. Diagnosing without a proper medical assessment is unethical

The Democrats conundrum of whether or not to replace Sleepy Joe, and if so who with, has been compounded by the fool's racist, sexist early proclamation to appoint a DEI candidate as his VP. Harris is less popular than Joe and had a bit of a nasty reputation as Attorney General of California. She was one of the first to drop out of the race that left Biden as the nominee. Harris also has a personality tic whereby she tends to let loose a strange cackle when under pressure which I doubt endears her to many. Anyway, due to Biden choosing sex and race over competency, the Democrats have no straight forward switcheroo as VP. That more or less rules out them getting Biden to step down early.

My guess is that they will end up with Newsom as a candidate late in the piece. No idea who he would have for a VP, but almost certainly not Harris. Newsom presents well in a Trudeau/Ardern kind of way, but the US voting public will have to look past the mess he has made in California. I suspect most Democrats will do exactly that and be greatly relieved to have a viable candidate.

Still leaves US voters with two awful choices.

It is a pity Michelle Obama does not want to run for President.

[Panda-NZ-]

I agree with jonu for once, If it's Harris may as well stick with Biden.

[Daytr]

All those talk about Biden being replaced which I agree with, but where is the chatter about who the Republicans should replace repugnant Trump with?

Not that they will because they are scared of him and don't really care what is good for the US let alone democracy or the the rest of the world.
