this is not happening!
a bunch of people are intimating that there’s about to be a cavalcade of leaks, both of this sort and of the dish-the-dirt sort, and maybe there will be but this is not where we are right now
I guess if you include a former photog and former housekeeper as “staff”, then you’d believe that to be true. But if that’s the case, you’re out there looking for bias to confirm and not looking for news.
It's a handful of backbenchers, anonymous mostly former staffers, and some out of context edited quotes. Maybe the dam will burst, but right now this is just a narrative being spun out of thin reeds.
Okay: so my tin-foil bananas Pollyanna theory now is- one reasons they wanted to do the debate in June is b/c they anticipated ratfucking (tho maybe not this bonkers level) so thought it better to get it all out of the way before the convention and fall.
We don't need insider information on Biden anymore than we need it on the Gaza genocide.
We can all see it with our own eyes!
I could have done better against Trump.
They guy hands you opportunities to call him on his bullshit constantly, and Biden dropped the ball.
The overall reaction, compared to when a number of Republicans called on Trump to step aside after the Access Hollywood tape leaked, is very odd and asymmetrical.
I don't know how you're supposed to put it to bed with any more urgency than planning a major interview & putting out an unequivocal statement. I get the impression that people are begging for a tweetstorm, or calling in angrily to Morning Joe
Schumer's office told the Times that (as of Wednesday morning) he hadn't spoken to Biden since the debate. Not shitting bricks but a pretty big disclosure and not a confidence-inspiring one.
