Isn’t this what they’re complaining about Biden for doing? Not scheduling events that start after 8pm? Do they not want a healthy president?

My favorite part of the West Wing fantasies about replacing Biden is the idea that there wouldn’t immediately be a new fatal flaw with whoever replaced him.

The fact they're simultaneously running don't vote campaigns and trying to undermine the dem candidate is proof that the moneybags who own these publications are united in realizing their robber baron days are drawing to a close under a guy who is the most pro labour president of the 21st century

if the media could go ahead and treat this claim the way they treat Biden saying "I'm fine" - aka, as a lie that requires days on end of front page stories to debunk - that would be great we'll be over here waiting

If Biden et al. were smart, they would cut an ad along the lines of, "There's more work to do and we need your help, but we've created millions of jobs, more than he ever did. Not Black jobs or White jobs, but *American* jobs, for everyone" with Biden standing & saying this directly to the camera.

The calls are coming from inside the house…. These are disenchanted assholes who are mad that the party opted not to have a primary. And now they are willing to risk a loss to Trump over their “concerns.” The time to fight this out in public was a year ago. www.nbcnews.com/politics/joe...

The Living Materials Center offers opportunities for students in a local school district to help care for animals. Elementary school teachers, who get specific training, can “check out” an animal from the center to have visit in their classroom for the week.

5/ The reason so many here are criticizing @washingtonpost.com and @nytimes.com et al. is that they are only covering one of those stories. By ignoring the real questions about Trump they are creating not merely a distorted picture of this election, but a false one.
They are failing at journalism.

An aspiring dictator & convicted felon w history of treason may win the presidency. Profoundly corrupt SCOTUS justices undermined the constitution and gave him immunity from prosecution for past & future crimes. This is all political journalists should be writing about 24/7. We’re at the precipice.

It makes me feel very much unmoored from reality to see all this *buying into* the Biden Too Old ratfuck narrative, days after the Supreme Court ruled that Trump gets to be dictator for life, just weeks after Trump became a convicted felon (oh, and there’s the Epstein stuff that just came out).

I think this is the fundamental asymmetry underlying every aspect of the conflict between the parties; you see it in the Senate, in gerrymandering, in the use of executive power I don't want King Biden either, but it's long past time to make the GOP afraid of the consequences of endless escalation

This is the ball game folks, the authoritarian green light laid out in advance. Congress will not impeach Trump. And SCOTUS now blesses him with extraordinary latitude to do whatever he wants in power. A second administration will not be constrained by Congress, the courts, the bureaucracy or law.

Im the 80s, the magic word was "communist" in Korea and "satanic" in America. This latest batch of banners tried "woke" but it wasn't scary enough, so they switched to "porn." In every case, the word means "books with depictions of the types of people we don't want in society."

I feel like this should go without saying but the only sane & responsible vote is November is the one that prevents Trump from taking office & finishing off American democracy. Unless something extremely surprising happens, that choice will be Joe Biden. And in any event it will be the D nominee.
