P.S. taking cocaine will be an official act of the Presidency. 

In that case, he might as well do it off the ass of a hooker and write it off as an expense on his tax return.

Newsom is just so impressive, in a “Mack Brown’s initial PC at Texas in 1998” way. If you were around then you know what I’m talking about. “Yes! Yes this is exactly what we need!”

It really was an incredible press conference.

he's done very well post debate so far. Wafflehouse that night, NC campaign stop next day, rebuttal to SCOTUS, so there is a sliver of hope.  Grandpa Joe is a winning strategy, senile Granpa Joe not so much.

If he orders a Big Mac at Waffle House, we're completely fucked.

Then he better nail the next 3 things on his docket - the ABC interview and the 2 weekend campaign stops.

I actually think his debate flop means they'll be covered extensively by the media.  A low bar means he can clear it easily. 

Too late. Too much blood in the water. He may yet stay in this, but there’s no end to this story where Joe Biden serves a second term.

btw the idea that Trump is Biden's, Hillary's or the liberals fault is fucking laughable. It's the Christians and the monied Republicans fault.

I don’t disagree with you, but that’s like saying 30 years of progressively worse Texas GOP rule isn’t the Democrats fault. While true, it elides the fact that Texas Democrats squandered many chances to stop it through a combination of hubris, myopia, vanity and simple incompetence. I would say the same thing about the Clintons and about Biden, should Trump win a second term.

I just had a vision...

Biden resigns on the 4th of July and gives a tear-jerking, noble, and patriotic speech.

Kamala is inaugurated as President immediately after that, and she gives a powerful and inspirational speech.

Kamala challenges Trump to honor the other scheduled debate.  He backs down like the coward that he is.

 


Something like this has been making the social media rounds today except Harris challenges pedo trunp to a debate immediately and not the one in September

Well, there's certainly no way that he ends a 2nd term. Which is a difficult thing to get people excited about voting for.

That doesn’t even make sense

I don’t know how you watch everything that’s happened in the last six days and come away thinking Biden can win a second term.

Would love to be wrong. More than just about anything. Would pay absurd sums of money to be wrong.

Clearly not. The whole we’ve been lied to thing is crazy stuff. He’s old, we knew he’s old. He’s not fucking senile or about to die tomorrow 

Look at Biden’s face. Half of it seems paralyzed. It’s obvious he had a stroke or something major happen. He’s not senile, but he is clearly struggling to communicate in a non-scripted environment where everything is tightly controlled.

When is the last time Biden did a press conference where reporters asked questions instead of only having prepared statements? It’s damaging to the campaign credibility when they tell major donors immediately after the debate that “Biden was probably in better health than most of them” which is obviously a huge lie. He’s not the same guy and it’s a hard thing to see. 

Trump being a huge piece of shit worst candidate ever doesn’t negate the fact that Biden looks like he is going to stroke out at any second. This is going to make a lot of people stay home even though Trump becoming president again is literally the worst thing ever. That’s just the way it is. It’s off putting to think Biden has to campaign across the country and risk his health just to have a chance against a convicted felon lying sack of traitor shit.

The idea that there’s no chance for him to win is not based in reality. It’s based on feelings

Fucking stupid. He has not had a stroke and his face isn’t paralyzed. Get ahold of yourself.

He’s done 500 press gaggles this year.

Dude, I'm as worried about his debate performance as anyone, but no, it's not "obvious" anything major has happened. He - like millions of other people - has done that half smile smirk for decades, and he had plenty of full-face signature Biden grins the day after in Raleigh.

I don't think Biden looks as bad as people fear, but the fact that the fear is real is a problem and he will look even worse in 2028. If he steps down that would be smart.

The chatter about replacing Joe with Kamala is comical. The woman was so lackluster in the 2020 primary there were 4 or 5 other candidates polling higher than her in her own state before she dropped out. The lessons of 2016 were never learned. These people still absolutely REFUSE to accept the reality that baboon donald's success is solely due to their own worthlessness. If he wins again they're going to push the same delusion on us as last time- it's not that we are shit and everyone hates us! It's Kennedy and Putin's fault!

Pretty old sock to be dusting off. How many do you actually have?

I just don't see Harris accepting anything less than being the nominee. 

I like @softlynow now's suggestion--if Biden is going to withdraw, resign now.  The entire media will be talking Harris for the next month and it'll give her a good opportunity to shake off some of the negative perceptions of her if she's ready for it. 

You think Harris gets DJT elected because she throws a tantrum? What kind of drugs are you on.

I’m not saying Whitmer wouldn’t be a fine candidate. But it’s not a two horse race. There are plenty of capable possibilities. Newsom would be one too. So would Buttigieg but I don’t think he’d run. What about Warren? Or Booker? Whitmer probably ranks relatively low in terms of national name recognition. The point is that they’re all unproven candidates. There’s no sure thing. Joe Biden is the only candidate who’s proven he can beat Trump.

I see a lot of people suffering from what looks a little like backup QB syndrome where in their mind their preferred candidate is the obvious, logical choice and they seem to think it will be plug-n-play. Their candidate should get the nod and off we go. It’s not that simple. And we’ll be taking a risk with any of them. You even used the term “given the nod.” By whom? How many votes at the convention will it take before they settle on anyone? The superdelegates get involved starting with the second vote. Will they be the nod-givers? Anyone other than Harris and it’s going to be a big mess with weeks of infighting while the media focus on the chaos and ignore Trump’s insanity. Harris is the only candidate for whom the transition would go smoothly.

It’s not an opinion that Kamala Harris holds the highest office of any of the would-be contenders. It’s a fact. She’s literally next in line to the presidency. I’ll ignore Aqua’s Ron DeSantis comparison because it’s not worthy of consideration. Have you noticed the propensity for everyone suggesting other candidates to name white candidates? (Save for Michelle Obama but that’s not a realistic suggestion.) What happens if the sitting, capable VP who happens to be black gets passed over for a white candidate of lesser standing? How will black voters deal with that insult? Talk about taking them for granted. Jim Clyburn has already stated that if Joe drops out then he’ll endorse Kamala. Don’t overlook how problematic it will be if Harris gets the shaft.

If Harris does get passed over and we move to a brokered convention, I’d bet that Gavin Newsom would be the most likely nominee. He seems to be positioning himself. He was quick to show his support for Biden after the debate. He’s flying to DC today to “stand with Biden.” Seems to me he’d be in a good position to pick up the mantle if it comes to that.

Maybe Whitmer would be a good candidate to run as his VP.  😝

Being a member of the most loyal and pragmatic voting bloc in the Democratic Party, even I understand that if America refused to elect the most prepared and qualified white woman in 2016, there is nothing in today’s political climate that suggests we would elect any woman, black or white in 2024. Hell, we’re taking away women’s rights - not expanding them.

It's the Christians and the monied Republicans fault. he is a VERY compelling and competitive candidate not because of anything the liberals do or don't do but because he is a natural authoritarian strong man who is taking advantage of what was available on the conservative side of our Country.

I was going to say he was compelling because he grabs 'em by the pussy but I see what you're saying.

In all seriousness, this comes down to one party backing an odious piece of shit.  If they backed a sumbitch with any sense of ethics or duty to country this still would be painful, but it wouldn't be existential.

Nope.  I mean, if that's the narrative you want to go with, then fine.  But it's completely false.

Not sure about overlap.  I just don’t want Donald to win and right now it looks like Joe is dead…in the water. Not actually dead.

Governor Whitmer’s Actions to Secure the Border

  • Governor Whitmer is the first Michigan governor to send National Guard personnel in support of the southern border mission. 
  • Governor Whitmer approved requests for National Guard support under both Trump and Biden administrations.
  • The Michigan Army National Guard sent 175 personnel of 3-126 Infantry to locations in Fort Bliss, Laredo, and El Paso, Texas from March 2020 to March 2021. 
  • Additionally, 37 members of Michigan’s 1431 Engineer Company have been on the ground in Zapata, Texas, since October 2020.
  • In 2022, Governor Whitmer visited Michigan soldiers on the southern border to receive a briefing on the deployment’s mission.

 

Sure but how has she done against the hordes of dirty polite people from the North?

Man the gulag watercooler is going to be lit. There's going to be those of us that told you that Biden should have been replaced this week and then those that say it wouldn't matter as Kamala et al. weren't electable anyway.

51mm people turned on the debate, and the majority of the those already wondered if Joe Biden could still do the job. Now they know he can’t. There is no coming back from this and no historical analogy applies.  He could go dap somebody at every Waffle House in America every day between now and November and it won’t change the fact that independent voters in 5 key states will not come his way, period. The window to change minds is closed. It‘s plan B or plan T.

Yep and posting data about dubya leading gore or how Biden won in 2020 is irrelevant.  That was scary bad and there were already rumors that Joe isn’t all there.  Which honestly should be a requirement to be president 

 

Getting cheery about how lively he was at Waffle House and how he said Don lied 26 times isn’t gonna do it
