I think if he's in cognitive decline he may have more trouble convincing people he's not which will make it more difficult to win in November, but I agree- Reagan already proved a President can run the country effectively with Alzheimer's, so I don't see why I need to worry about Biden there.

New TWIBS! Assigned Media's @alyssaur.bsky.social writes for about Keir Starmer and the UK elections.

Says here the ascendent labor party and the defeat of the Tories in no ways spells relief for the battered and beleaguered transgender community of TERF Island.

Dang it!

It’s pretty alarming how the reporters suddenly devoted to watchdogging Biden can’t tell the difference between real drastic glitches like in the debate and normal fumbling

Especially given that Biden was an erratic speaker in his prime—the question is how far off his cognitive baseline Biden is now, and if you're gonna push out a news alert every time he misspeaks and immediately corrects himself, you're just making it harder for the public to figure it out!

And if that's not the strategy, then there needs to be a different one and the campaign and candidate can fairly be judged on how effective it is.

Thank you for saying this, I feel like I'm going mad. Handling the media is a core part of the job. Sometimes that might mean crying foul when they're tough on you, as we'v seen w/ Trump, but if the strategy is to whip the base into a frenzy of hatred for the msm I have not seen any sign of it.

Totally. The media is mean to Biden, and they are going to be mean to Harris. That's life. It sucks. Politics is dirty. But idk, part of campaigning is being able to help drive the news and get your message out to voters, not just be completely blindsided repeatedly by it.

Holy shit, the Supreme Court actually wrote that Trump telling Pence to claim the wildly unconstitutional power to single-handedly reject certified Electoral College votes, thereby overthrowing Constitutional democracy, can't be illegal because POTUS and VP talking about it makes it an official act.

i think Trump’s success in distancing himself from the policies of his own people is at least partially because there’s an authenticity to it: he really doesn’t give a shit about the right wing agenda, he’s just willing to trade it in exchange for power

Just like none of the bold investigators backfilling Joe Biden's feeble debate performance with punchy anonymous quotes have ever figured out why Trump was rushed to Walter Reed, claimed he wanted a spur-of-the-moment weekend checkup, and a year later declared that he had NOT had a series of strokes

Explosive reporting in Le Monde confirms what was apparent all week: Macron resisted the emergence of anti-far-right front after round 1. His PM, Attal, forced it as a fait accompli, & pressured for drop outs to block RN. Even then, Macron made some phone calls to undercut it.

McEntee for those of you who don’t know is a wildly misogynistic alpha male TikTok influencer who posts on an account called “Date Right Stuff.” He’s also a failed college quarterback who entered politics through via a Fox News job he got from his industry dad and a viral trick shot YouTube video.

Johnny McEntee, one of Trump's most loyal deputies who is in regular contact with him, is literally one of the people collecting resumes for staffers who would implement Project 2025. Shame on any journalistic outfit who takes this "truth" at face value.

👴🏻Poor Biden! It's not fair that newspapers are running this "he must step down" provocation! 🧔🏿‍♂️Yes it is fair. When the news was making up a Black crime wave that he knew was fake, he was pouring gas on that fire instead of putting it out. Or is it only fair when it happens to Black folk?

When you see the way the press is treating Joe Biden for aging in public, you see how they could treat Donald Trump for committing fraud, rape, espionage, and insurrection and never, ever will.

Biden clearly has declined mentally compared to even four years ago. This shouldn’t be up for debate. And yes, it is likely a product of his extremely advanced age. It makes sense that his team wanted him to do the debate. They told themselves he’d overcome his limitations in the moment. He didn’t.

Man, if it turns out that the right winger telling NY Times readers that they should follow his example and not vote did in fact vote in the last two elections, the Times should add this to the piece. Better than a retraction, since it illustrates a willful hypocrisy.

The only way it *might* stop is if he does something that really demonstrates that he's got some crazy-youthful energy/stamina/whatever that he maybe doesn't actually have. He should probably be on every TV show possible right now, doing every interview he can, just relentlessly in our faces.
