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).
Reuters released a poll this morning that showed Biden and Trump tied. Also found 1/3 of Democrats think someone else should run. Meanwhile the other 2/3s of us who live in reality have to listen to the screechy bedwetters.
I'm trying to be very understanding of people under stress, but I've had to unfollow some I've followed since coming here because their takes have been so panicked, reckless, and counterproductive that my respect for their judgment dropped with every post. I'll check in on them again in a few weeks.
My real time reaction of "President Biden is wiping the floor with this creep on substance. Too bad they're only listening for tone" has really driven my view of the last week of media frenzy.
At this point if people are going to just have a meltdown, just do it. Get out whatever bullshit you gotta get out, and do it right the fuck now. Pick yourself back up. Tbh you kinda can just go into the fetal position on July 3. It's really irrelevant.
You just can't do this shit in September.
I really am truly thankful to be around and talking with people who have a healthy concern about the presidential exemptions ruling, and about Project 2025, and a whole lot less worried about the president's age.
Biden is probably too old! But he was too old in 2020. Until there is evidence that this is differently salient to the average voter and not to online weirdos and the Times idiots, it’s not something worth thinking about.
Biden too old? He will step down when he wants 🤷, this narrative that no one knows what they are doing ignores that there is a competent and fully capable leader RIGHT THERE. feel like we forgot that we have a backup president. Invoke the 25th after inauguration. It's the Harris admin now.
As far as I gather Biden could order Seal Team Six to go merk his political opponents as long as he does it as a "Presidential Act", whatever that is. I'm not sure why this SCOTUS ruling would apply to Trump and not Biden, I haven't read it though.
Look, I don’t know what should be done from here, but the problem is real and not just a rat fuck. Biden and his people have backed us into a corner that will be hard to get out of. John Ganz puts it well.
it's painful to watch. USA is LITERALLY sitting on the precipice of lost democracy, but lets all talk about how old the guy who's 3 yrs older than that Traitor-Useful-Idiot is.
At this point it does not matter who the D candidate is. You're voting FOR democracy, or against it. Full stop.
It’s not one bad debate. The debate was just the venue for millions of people to see that he is too far gone to do this. And that is rightfully angering when we were repeatedly assured otherwise. Because an incredibly vigorous campaign is needed to defeat a maniac
Not to mention that it's coming from all the same people who were basically like, suck it up, he's running again and he's your only choice.
Like, no shit he's really old! We knew! We could've sorted this out in the primaries, but noooo
The more dangerous another Trump term is demonstrated to be, the more frantically NYT et al post repetitive knocks on Biden, and it's just accepted by many that this is a normal, rational and objective state of affairs.
Did u know Biden was born 3 years before microwave ovens were invented? Trump was born the year after microwaves were invented and certifiably hung out with Jeffery Epstein, but Biden was born 3 years before microwaves were even INVENTED
We all saw it.
As a life-long Dem, “Joe is not fit for another four years”. Period.
Not his fault, I love him.
Kamala will destroy Trump.
He won’t know how to handle her, besides throwing out degrading, racist and misogynistic tropes-which will push away more and more from his fascist ass.
