That is the only answer.

Once again you are stuck with 2 awful choices, but when one compares a standard Centre Right drug warrior like Biden or Harris to the one person that hates America and its people so much, his only course of action is to break the countries institutions before he moves onto the world. The former President is both inept and happy to be so, his only achievement being the unleashing of the largest amount of hate I have seen in the 45 years I have been on this planet.

it's manipulation. Is that okay, or not okay? Only answers that don't include "but Trump!", please....

First, this thread is about the Presidential election. One side actually is so bad that the vote which is the most likely to prevent them from taking power is quite valid. We can worry about the less weird and dangerous qualities of politicians later.

Second, as has been said, it may or may not be purposeful. Code switching is done by many people every day automatically. I used to switch between accents without thinking depending on if I was talking to a burr hand or an engineer.

Tell you what, I'll say it was partially purposeful if you admit it is likely partially automatic.
This is actually most likely one of those things that is both of those and only percentages could really be argued.

Third, and most importantly. One of the political parties trying to constantly build a tempest in a teapot from the most trivial (and weird, and ridiculous) to distract from real issues. That's the (much) bigger issue here.

Obama wore a tan suit to a presser regarding terrorist response. Did you even remember what the event was? It's more important than the suit.

And Trump has made this BS even worse. It's a blight on our political discourse and, yes, Trump, trump, Trump, Trump, Trump making it common and more accepted is bad, bad, bad. We need to point that out or ignore it as the 5th grade, non-relevant, distraction it is.

No matter what our "side", if we just continue to consume reality show, carnival barker, BS like this, we will surely be served more.

Spot on.
With regards to his unconstitutional suit, was he informing the nation about the success of the Abbottabad raid?

you know, if all you ever say in a discussion are one liners without any depth or content to further your point, it is pretty hard to take you seriously. "Bidenomics", "audit the fed",.... maybe you should give some information on what that actually means to you?

You can donate to my campaign and I’ll gladly elaborate .
 
For instance. Bidenomics relies on quantitative easing aka printing money out of thin air through the federal reserve bank to pay off the interest on debt.
 
I don't know. fair question. The national debt is just one metric on how big (size and scope) government has become.
 
But ultimately, I think that it's the American people that have to foot the bill on this one. The government will never take responsibility for their damages. It's a tax on us, and it's nothing that we approved. We just vote for the clowns that are making the calls in congress to print the money on behalf of the American populus.
 
And it's not that coining money is unconstitutional, because it is in the constitution.
But to the extent and careless and reckless spending of the federal reserve bank.
And I've mentioned it before that I would like to have good writ, like research proposals, that are the source of coining new money.
