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

Sorry for being unclear, I meant that confusing Harris/Trump is not like misremembering historical figures and closer to mixing up the names of your loved ones, names you say / think of everyday.

I had in mind the hesitant look on my grandfather at the onset of his degenerative disease (Alzheimer), when he momentarily couldn't place me. In time, he couldn't place my mother, and ultimately his wife. He could still speak about a lot of things, things from his childhood, piece by piece. Which is not the same as being functional, he would walk down the corridor and not remember where his room was. So yeah, maybe invite more doctors to explain that maaaybe don't wait for Biden's speech to just stop one day.

I don't think you were unclear, I just read your post too fast. I think I read a fragment of your post and subconsciously filled in the rest, which is something I try to guard against and so should acknowledge if it happens

Deepfake Genocide Sleepy Joe

it would be pretty funny at this point if he won

I still think he'll win tbh

i spy with my little eye a biden-brokered israeli ceasefire before too long

It’s unlikely. Bibi has torpedoed every other attempt, and he clearly prefers Trump.

I think that's what Nabozo was trying to say

aha apols, I misunderstood.

Perhaps Biden's stubborn and angry routine appeals to some voters

this lad looks absolutely cooked. sad tbh

Bibi has torpedoed every other attempt, and he clearly prefers Trump.

Bibi clearly prefers a continuing war so he doesn't have to face corruption charges

First-term Rep. Brittany Pettersen (D-Colo.) became the 18th Democratic member of Congress to demand President Joe Biden abandon his reelection bid in a statement released Friday morning.

donors freezing 90 million until biden drops out

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries met privately with President Joe Biden on Thursday night to relay his caucus' anxieties about the president's reelection bid.

now the polls that Biden have said are fake all along, he will cite as evidence that he should stay in

Sorry that Zelenskyy/putin clip is fucking funny

DNC scrambling sending out all caps emails to each other like “WHO IS THE CARETAKER AND WHY ARE KIDS ADDING HIS MUSIC TO VIDEOS OF JOE BIDEN ON TIKTOK?!”

oh no lmao

wow

He was supposed to be a Caretaker president

very hauntological moment

Biden is almost literally a ghost of a lost future

jesus christ lmao

Here for some hauntological moments

The disintegration loops mean nothing to these born after 9/11 tiktokers, sad

When Biden was young those records the Caretaker samples didn't even have scratches

for clemenza

Thanks--brilliant!

A losing battle is raging

We live in a world where truth, satire, and deliberate misinformation are all crowded into a very narrow space, throwing elbows and stepping on one another's feet.

This is all terrifying… but also hilariously absurd at the same time.

A takedown of Heather Cox Richardson: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2024/07/biden-step-down-history-heather-cox-richardson.html

yeah wish Kubrick was still around to write the screenplay

“And by the way, look at the numbers in Israel. I mean, my numbers are better in Israel than they are here.”

Fuck off, you treasonous coward. Your responsibility is for Americans, not bloodthirsty Zionists

Yeah, give the blood to thirsty Americans first!

and each is correct, but your demo spec is key


This is all terrifying… but also hilariously absurd at the same time.

nah. it’s now boring. and quite literal and express.

I can't even tell if that Immaculate Grid thing is supposed to be true or not. Even if it were true, wgaf? If that's the measure, I've got the worst case of dementia ever.

It's more of the lying news media defaming Biden.

it's a joke

"not bloodthirsty Zionists"

wait is this one of those tiki torch blood libel things? if so stop i don't like it. take it to the palestine thread that i avoid. i like coming here. you can hate israel without using terms like that.

I mean, what other term do you want to use? Ethnic cleansing to build more houses? That satisfy you? Ugh.

Americans are bloodthirsty as well, which their “misadventures” post-9/11 demonstrate. You’re grasping at straws

"bloodthirsty" and the blood libel are definitely adjacent enough to avoid imo

but scott, you can hate white supremacists without saying "tiki." I don't think the Māori deserve that!

The CNN gag is part of a little meme offensive from go-Joe folks trying to argue that standards for his cognitive sharpness are absurdly high and hey, he’s actually fine.

Which to me is silly because, like, I watch him and clearly see an elderly man working hard to put together thoughts and sentences. For people who don’t see that, there’s no way to make them obv.

A NY Times link, so apologies:

I like how Rep. Brittany Pettersen is part of the Problem Solvers Caucus. Getting Biden to step down is a problem that needs to be addressed

belonging to that caucus gives her centrist/moderate cred

Really? I thought she and her husband were both progressives

God as my witness, I thought Heather Cox Richardson was Wonkette
