A LOT more truthful than the fake news gives him credit for. But a liar nonetheless, like most politicians.
Well, that's not saying much. And he is an exceptional liar in scale and frequency compared to even other politicians to be honest.
I think you'd be quite hard pressed to find anyone with such a trove of blatant statements such as (thanks for categorizing them politifact):
"I was the person who saved Pre-Existing Conditions in your healthcare."
"Over the last two years, the number of murders in America and America’s major cities has dropped, unlike here, by more than 10%," Trump said. "And if we ever took the Chicago numbers out of our total numbers, the numbers would be incredible — and they already are, even including Chicago."
"California "admitted" there were "a million" illegal votes in the 2016 presidential election. "
"The noise (from windmills) causes cancer."
"Says his father, Fred Trump, was "born in a very wonderful place in Germany."
"Says former Sen. Harry Reid "got thrown out."
"The reason Russia was in Afghanistan was because terrorists were going into Russia."
"Says troops recently received "one of the biggest pay raises" ever, and that it was the first pay increase in "more than 10 years."
"In California, "they're rioting now" over sanctuary cities. "
"Saudi Arabia has ordered $450 billion, "$110 billion of which is a military order," producing "over a million jobs."
Need I go on? ... I think you're giving him way too much credit for occasionally tossing in the "lesser political heard" truths, just like Putin.

Is there an example of any other leader who in the past compelled his minions to speak in their own manner to such a degree?
I'm sure there are many, but this one is exceedingly hilarious? confounding? revealing? plebian?

One would think logically - that the rifle that is most closely modeled after the rifle that the military has decided is the best rifle to kill people with for the last 60 years would have some aspects that make it good at killing people. JUST SAYIN.
And if I were going for a really effective medium-range anti-personnel weapon I'd probably settle on something along that line as well.

You realisticly think you could react in time to shoot a methhead waiting for you with a knife around the corner? 
The only thing that can defeat an evil methhead with a knife waiting around a corner is a good methhead with a knife waiting around a corner

Yeah just saying - it's hard to defend yourself with a gun from someone charging at you close range - you stand a better chance knowing melee defense than dicking around with trying to get a weapon out.
There's circumstances where being armed is very beneficial no doubt - but a sudden knife-wielding attacker at short range isn't one of them

Police go by the rule of over 21 feet being the amount of distance one wants when planning on (effectively) pulling a gun on someone with a knife - and that's with their training. That's pretty far. So yeah, I'll take my melee self-defense skills over trying to shoot someone under that much pressure/time crunch. Not sure where you come up with the 90% statistic though. Lol.
Again like I said there are instances where it could be useful. I really don't feel the need to carry one right now.

I've been in a few fights against people armed with knives, you're wrong that there's no defense (not that it's easy - or lacks risk) but you're right in that you should expect to get cut to some degree, - I've managed to disarm without getting cut too bad each time.
A straight stabbing motion is much easier to counter more often than slashes. They're 1) making their motion predictable 2) putting their weapon furthest from their body where they have the least amount of control and strength to resist counters.

Derpity derp 
You sound unreasonably afraid of the world, and way too overconfident in the self defense ability a gun gives you 
Statistics show that most attacks are launched within 3 feet. You're going to have near 0 chance that your gun is going to save you. I'm not saying that a hand to hand defense is the easiest thing to pull off. But I'm saying it's realistically either that, surrender, or running. If you're really lucky there will be some environmental weapons nearby to help you out.

How about instead of moving the goalposts to some goofy unrealistic situation, I hide around a corner and close distance full speed while you're just going about your day unexpecting an assault - since that was the premise of your post

Most likely getting cut is a pretty big risk to take for most people who aren’t good at fighting. That’s most people . Your unique situation or ability is hardly an attainable solution for people past their prime , or almost all women . I’ve known 2 who I think would have a chance but they were training to be professional fighters .
How do you think that would work out for you if your opponent was just as capable as you ?
Probably not good.
But what you do have as an advantage - is that well trained/capable people aren't generally the types to be attacking people out of the blue.
Any situation in which you're being attacked seriously is pretty bad, I'm not saying having a weapon for self-defense is bad, I'm saying that if one is serious about defending yourself that one should be realistic that there's a high chance it may be inaccessible within time, and hopefully have an idea of what is a rational strategy when one isn't.
Anyway didn't mean to be part of derailing this thread about how shitty Biden is.

What if you're in a bank or gas station and a couple thugs start shooting people? Are you going to use your kung fu in that situation? I've been in martial arts my whole life. I even trained at the American Russian Martial Art Institute. It's a military martial art school and they teach you how to deal with knife and gun attacks. I dont care how much fucking training you've had the chances of you winning a knife fight unarmed is extremely low. You would still be in a better situation if you had a gun! Most police officers aren't very well trained so using them as a example for anything doesn't make sense to me. Even if your odds only increased by 20% if you had a gun then it's still fucking worth it to me! Some of you are fucking out there. To think a gun isn't good for self defense makes you sound like a idiot in my opinion.
Well you already quoted me about moving goal posts, so I don't have to reiterate that.
And I also just said:

dementia is a vascular disease. Id be more worried about that then Bernie's medical issue.
Vascular...?

In some cases, it's vascular - it's not a specific disease other than being cognitive. It could be caused by numerous things.
And yes, I know both of those things - I'd probably hunt with an AR-15, SCAR or whatever scoped M-14 clones they have if I hunted. I don't have much of an opinion on gun control, I'm just saying that the gun is both built for, and good at - killing people - as are others.

wait why are people acting like NY leaderships been so amazing - last I heard they became the epicenter - didn't start as it, and doing amongst the poorest statistically in the nation. Granted their environment is stacked against them, but so are other cities.
