    Don’t assume that I am not paying attention to what’s going on

    Then don’t ask questions with answers that should be obvious to anyone paying attention.

      You must be an AI. The parent poster asked no questions. Plus, the poster called you out on a lie:

      Actually, it is looking like Biden might be stepping down

      This is a lie.

        Biden’s not stepping down, I don’t know where you got that notion.

        It’s an implied question. Semantics aren’t going to get you anywhere.

          It’s not a question lol.

          To be more fair to you, it could be interpreted that way - “Where did you get that notion?”

          But it could very well not - “I don’t know where you got that notion; and I don’t want to know.”

          But ultimately, “semantically” as you call it, it’s not a question.

          And semantics has taken me places, thankyouverymuch.

      You said:

      it is looking like Biden might be stepping down

      However, nowhere anywhere has Biden mentioned or even hinted at having made the decision that he will be stepping down. Just because other people, democrats, friends, family, etc. are saying he should step down, does not mean that “he might be”, when the fact is he’s already said that he will not be stepping down.

      Hence why I said “where did you get that notion”.

      And then you try to turn it around on me like I’m the one not paying attention?
