US Politics, July 2024 - "Will you just drop out, man?"

Yer granny on bongos from Gay Dad isn't...

watched a little of kamala at a rally and she's good! mostly because she can talk and actually make good points. she brought up comparisons between trump/biden that biden would never be able to make. it would be too much talking and information. she was going at trump hard.

biden right now in front of NATO...ehh...i already know that he can do teleprompter speeches.

The (Gina) Schock was the right time for Joe to Go-Go?

Sorry…

it would be too much talking and information. she was going at trump hard.

if she did end up being the nominee I don't think Trump would even debate her because of this.

That creepy Harry Enten is back with more bad news: If Biden loses, Congress gets real hard to hold onto even one chamber of Congress.

Downballot effects of a Biden loss are clear for Democrats. The House would likely be gone. GOP has opened up an edge on the generic ballot.

If Biden loses, the chance of Democrats holding the Senate is close to zero because of the map and WV being an easy GOP pickup. pic.twitter.com/8tMK2giqDK

(pardon the double Congress there, just wanted to make sure it was clear I was talking about Congress)

Gotta imagine the 60-vote cloture rule disappears very quickly in an all-GOP Congress with Trump as president, these guys aren't messing around.

depends on what lisa murkowski wants to do, i guess

Biden '24 - Don't Worry, We'll Get 'Em Next Time

Jill and Hunter are committing elder abuse at this point. What a pathetic way for the sun to set on the American experiment

Fucks like him, McConnell, Pelosi, etc. don’t have to worry about the future, as they’re basically halfway between the material world and the next, Flatliners-style

Part of the problem obviously, who even wants to hear Biden talk about "the future."

correct me if i'm wrong but biden still hasn't had a casual off-the-cuff conversation with someone on camera since that debate, right? not one unscripted outdoor random conversation. biden rando convo.

He had a heart-to-heart chat with Corn Pop

i miss corn pop.

corn pop appears to joe on his shoulder. whispers to joe. gives him tips. tells him jokes.

Folks ask me if I ever think about the pas I mean the future and I just say of course! Who doesn't uh complicate I mean uh contem contemplate the uh great sleep of eternity?

Meanwhile, I can't find any Google hits for "Bidenalism," so I'm claiming it.

"I would sit there at the kitchen table in scranton, pennsylvania and my dad would say to me, Joey, I am Zarathustra the godless: where do I find mine equal?"

could he stay on as Harris's VP? Impart some sage wisdom, fireside chats, pardoning the turkeys, easy tasks

Joe would spontaneously combust if she asked him to be VP

not after 8pm he wouldn't

A+ lolz

even if you get sent back to the Minors, you're still playing ball

Really in the worst of all possible worlds with this now. Hello fascism my old friend

Eh, fuck that. It's been a horrible two weeks. Message boards are partly for croakings of doom. I'm still gonna work as hard as I can and I'm not alone.

^^^have to do something, even if it’s just writing postcards to swing districts

I'm not even sure if that's sarcastic.

Need a third to make it a triathlon:

At his rally just now, Trump challenged Biden to another debate this week. Says it will be no moderator, "man to man," "no holds barred."

Also challenged him to an 18-hole golf match.

(Also once again proof of how The Rock would eliminate a lot of problems here.)

Biden should challenge Trump to a slow mountain bike loop around Camp David

Both keeling over in 98 degree heat on a golf course would be poetic.

Meanwhile.

Pretty creepy IMO

"Creepy Harry, creepy Harry" rhymes with "Creepy Carrie, creepy Carrie."

I caught a bit of that Harris speech in Las Vegas too--yeah, she was great.

I'm not even sure if that's sarcastic.

Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry on the run from Creepy Harry

Biden has now dyed himself orange, attacked the lying NYT, and is on track to lose the election... but he doesn't have to accept Trump's victory. He could, for instance, incite a Blue MAGA mob to storm the Capitol in January.

— David Klion (@DavidKlion) July 9, 2024

The BlueAnon Shaman will be visually indistinguishable from the Q Shaman.

Ooooooooo Maga Blue
What’s a game if you never lose?

dying at the image of dem analogs to the j6ers storming the capitol

Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) became the first Senate Democrat to go public with his concerns about Joe Biden on Tuesday, saying that he doesn’t believe the president can beat Donald Trump in November.
“Donald Trump is on track, I think, to win this election ― and maybe win it by a landslide ― and take with it the Senate and the House,” Bennet told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins.

Bidenista coup will fall apart when they all stop to thank the capital cops for their service.

George Stephanopoulos, the ABC news anchor who recently interviewed President Biden about his fitness for the presidential race, was caught on camera Tuesday indicating that he doesn’t think Biden can serve another four years.

Stephanopoulos, a former Democratic operative turned news anchor, is seen in gym clothes in a video published by TMZ when he is asked by a passerby: “What do you think, do you think Biden should step down? You’ve talked to him more than anybody else has lately. And you can be honest.”

Stephanopoulos, then just off camera, is captured on fuzzy audio responding that he doesn’t think “he can serve four more years.”

In a statement late Tuesday, Stephanopoulos acknowledged that he was the person seen in the video. “Earlier today I responded to a question from a passerby. I shouldn’t have.”

An ABC spokeswoman said that Stephanopoulos “expressed his own point of view and not the position of ABC News.”

Sorry everybody, but the lesson internalized by powerful people in this era is that you never, ever resign, admit wrongdoing, or step down. Ever

Al Franken excepted.

Franken and Katie Hill never should’ve stepped down. That shit is why the GOP always wins
