Can Mountain Dew, the famously sugary and highly caffeinated soft drink, cure purported dementia? That seems to be the hypothesis of Rep. Erick Burlison (R-MO), who appeared on Fox Business on Tuesday to speculate about the kinds of "drugs" that President Joe Biden will supposedly take to improv...

    They’re definitely going to jack him up on something. That’s why he won’t accept Trumps challenge that they both take a drug test

      Or because it’s stupid political theater giving Trump’s base an out when he inevitably says some dumb bullshit during the debate and loses. He obviously never expected that ridiculous request to be granted. The act of playing along is an act of weakness, so it’s never going to happen.

      Also they’re both going to be on drugs. All presidents are given various drugs. Some to keep them alive, some to help them concentrate. It’s no big deal, it’s a demanding job.

      Edit: forgot Obama actually did show his birth cert. Shouldn’t have played along though

        Just like when he told Obama to show his birth certificate.

        Which he did, and the birthers promptly dismissed as a fake. So complying with their demands does nothing but makes the lie go farther.

        Never mud wrestle with a pig, you both get dirty and the pig likes it.

          The stupid thing is that it would not have matters if he was born in Kenya. His mother was born in the US and was a US citizen so he would be. Same deal with Ted Cruz.

        Well, most westerners over 50 are on drugs for all sorts of things getting high blood pressure, to diabetes, to cholesterol lowering meds. Not to mention caffeine, nicotine, alcohol and meth.

        And no, they’re not both going to be on drugs. Trump doesn’t take drugs and he’s willing to prove it

          It’s adorable that you take Donald Trump at his word. On anything.
