Seems like "what parts of Project 2025 do you disagree with?" or "what parts of it are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal?" would be good questions for a reporter to ask the other elderly presidential candidate, but what do I know.

Some say the biggest issue in the world the issue is age, Some say it's not. From what I’ve tasted of Republican BS I hold with those who say if it weren't this it would be some other nonsense.

I canceled my subscription to NYT today. I will miss some of the good journalists on staff; they work hard and do good work. It’s the editorial board that determines what gets published, and the ledes. The editors are right wing and lame. Screw them.

Jesus Christ, democrats - the more you bitch and complain even if you plan on voting, the more you convince other people to not vote. There are already 16% of 18-45's ready to stay at home, you're just giving them reason to. This isn't hard.

If you check any of the major media 'he's old' schtick posted this week, most of the replies are for switching Joe out or replacing him. If you check their timelines, it's all 'genocide Joe'. They're bots. Russia, SA, NKorea all found out this is a good divisive issue and are acting accordingly.

I went back to reread Prequel (Rachel Maddow), and I can't help noting an eerie familiarity. Hitler got a lot of mileage from the "Jew as evil" trope, as did Nazi sympathizers in America in the same era. For some reason, anti-Israel sentiment is running particularly high in one voting tranche now.

Trump is a damn real estate mobster linked up with a bunch of autocrats and true believer Christian nationalists. If you think for two seconds some lame fucks like Mark Warner and Tim Kaine are the kind of soldiers it takes to beat this evil, then you’re lost in the beltway sauce.

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.

For everyone on here that is worried that voters are as willfully credulous as our news media, the Biden campaign understands that Trumps post about Project 2025 is an admission of vulnerability and they are leaning in harder on tying him to it.

Trump distancing himself from Project 2025 is 1) a lie, and 2) indication that they think playing their hand too early jeopardizes their chances.

Super PACs have minimum disclosure requirements and *no* donor disclosure requirements. Legally nobody can make them stop specifically because they're not allowed to coordinate with campaigns. This is easy stuff and I don't get why Dems feel they're too good for it. Play to win.

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.

Why is Biden only running in Biden? He should be running in Harris, Haaland, Buttigieg, Regan, Murthy, and all the rest of the people who come with him. And he’s not just running against Trump, but against Miller, Bannon, Kushner, Bolton, Kid Rock and Nazi ghouls who come with him. Message better.

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.

It's as if our press just can't process a threat as grave as Trump. They no longer have the skills or backing from their top editors to grapple with such a grand-scale horror as the death of our democracy. So they've shrunk the issues down to a size they feel comfortable with: Shaming an old man.

The legal nightmare, by the way - would be the endless GOP challenges in state after state. Not any actual legitimate legal issues, per se - just the fuckery they'd pursue. They've said as much. The Heritage Foundation has SAID they're preparing to challenge it in every state if he withdraws.
