Do all the bullets come spilling out into a tray at the bottom like when a quiz machine pays out in a pub?

Was it Chris Rock who said in his standup routine that they should just make ammo really really expensive? So you could shoot someone, but you'd have to really really mean it.
Given that satire appears to be truly dead, I wonder if the federal government could just follow the standup routine and stick a 500% tax on ammo.

It's just getting worse and worse.
I feel for the guy, I really do, but it's time for him to stand aside.

He is totally failing to grasp that the position is more important than him. Or recognise that he is no longer able. Either way, time is up

Yeah but only one of those is an actual cult leader. Biden has to attract swing and shy/stay at home voters to defeat the cult and it was a bit close for comfort last time.

He needs to step down so that people can finally fucking stop moaning about his age.

Well... Guess he's Putin his foot in his mouth...
Sorry, not the time.
FFS there's other countries' PMs being asked about Biden's fitness to serve rather than their own plans and the summit! I like Biden, he's done good work, I don't know who would be best to promote instead of him and if I were in the USA and he was on the ballot I'd vote for his rotting corpse over Trump... but this? What's going on right now? It's not working. It's not gonna win an election, (or if it does it'll be the perfect razor-thin margin for the SCROTUS to protest and give us a repeat of 2000), it's gonna give us fucking Trump again with way more of his stooges and yes-men at the ready (and not just because Biden is losing it, the electorate is not blameless considering an entirely too big part of it is still following Trump), and they had four fucking years to prepare someone else.
Again, I'd vote for him, but I'd vote for the lettuce that outlasted Truss over Trump 2.0, and it's increasingly looking like Biden's Ruth Bader Ginsburg-ing himself right now, and we saw how that ended once.

He's either massively taking the piss or sundowning bigly...
But hey, he did and will do his goodest* and that's what counts!
*(pretty sure that's actually how he said it in an interview)

It's live on the BBC website, he wasn't making some sort of odd joke. Whispering Biden is fucking creepy too!

So yeah he needs to go
Democrats need to put someone young one. Who should use biden stepping down as argument against trump.

It's Biden or Harris, they won't have sufficient campaign funds for a third candidate. There's an outside chance that Biden stepping down would prompt a massive donation drive I guess,but that would probably get split between too many young guns

You mean those aged 55-80, yes?
Harris won't beat Trump so it's kinda pointless now.

Why does it feel like the only Democrat plan is "maybe replace Biden and pray that we win"?

Mixing up names from time to time, especially under periods of stress when you're mentally telling yourself 'don't call him putin!', isn't that unusual. Ask anyone who's interviewed Jeremy Hunt!
But it was the absolute *worst* time for him to do it, and in the worst way.
They've really screwed it up. Even if he is fine, and he would be fine, his age was such an obvious attack line that they really should have been better prepared for it. And they really should have had a backup plan just in case.
It feels like it's reached critical mass now, where it doesn't really matter how true the impression is, it's gonna stick. It's gonna dominate the conversation. Trump and social media sure aren't gonna let it go.
I have no idea if it's too late to go with someone else now though. US elections are ridiculously long, so there's still, what, 4 months? But they need to get a move on. And aren't candidates usually selected by some complex system that they probably don't have time for now?

At this point his actual mental acuity is kind of irrelevant, his credibility is in the bin. Possibly the two worst options to face off against China, Russia, Iran and NK.
I might not be a Starmer fan but he's light-years ahead of what is on offer in the US, it's appalling.

Question for those with more knowledge, on the donations thing, if Harris was still on the ticket as vice president but they had someone else running for president, would they still be able to use the donations? Seems people are suggesting she would have to be presidential candidate for them to use the funds.
Feels awful that this is the way the Biden presidency is going to end. From an outside perspective, it sounds like he had done a great job in the four years. If he had have stood aside and they had someone waiting in the wings to take over then he likely would have gone down as one of the greats. Now it is just going to be remembered for this humiliation.
