Leaving it to Biden is a mistake. Speak up and call for Biden to step aside immediately.

We're being lied to by Biden and his family. His mental health is significantly worse than 4 years ago. He is frail and unqualified to run for reelection. We will all pay the price when Biden loses to Trump.

Biden says he has to avoid events after 8pm and get more sleep. We need a 24 hour 365 days a year president. Biden has to withdraw and allow a younger, more energetic candidate run on the Democratic ticket.

The Democratic party is making such a terrible mistake. Biden is weak and fragile and will lose to Trump. When that happens, no one is going to want to be seen with or hear from Biden again.

Seems very clear now that Biden's family and the WH covered up Biden's deteriorating cognitive abilities over the past few years. He seems to have aged 10 years in just 4. Biden has to drop out immediately if the Dems have any chance of winning in November.

Biden and his family haven't explained in any way helpful why he suffered cognitive failure and whether his health has been failing but have kept it hidden from the public. For everyone's sake, it's time to come clean.

If Biden doesn't drop out, Democrats will become a minority party for years. With Trump re-elected, and with his immunity, America will move far to the right. Our only hope is someone younger, more energetic and who can inject some hope and enthusiasm into the the Democratic party and election.

With the deterioration of Biden's mental and physical health on display for millions to see, it seems inevitable that he will lose the 2024 race. Biden's wife & family do a disservice to the country by not encouraging him to drop out.

My aspirations that Trump would not win in 2024 were based on a belief that a majority of voters would realize the dangers Trump poses to the country. My expectation now is that Trump will win because Biden is stubborn & incapable of winning a 2nd term. The next 5 months will be a slow ship wreck.

He might do OK with a teleprompter but he's no longer capable of coherent sentences. He has no idea how much trouble he is in with the November election. Like Obama, he'll have to host Trump at the WH before Trump takes office.

Biden was a disaster and is simply being selfish not stepping aside for a younger, energetic candidate. Jill Biden needs to convince Joe not to run. High profile Democrats have to put pressure on Biden to step aside before a disaster which looms with the 2024 elections.

If Biden doesn't step aside and allow for a younger, more energetic candidate to run against Trump, Republicans will sweep the 2024 elections, winning the presidency and both houses of Congress. Biden will be blamed and ostracized from the party. Dems will be in disaster mode for years.

Its up to Jill Biden to convince her husband that he has to step aside for a younger, stronger candidate if Trump is to be beaten in November. At this point Joe Biden is selfish not to step aside. Imagine his legacy when he loses to Trump and where that will leave the country. Disaster.

Seems to me that if the SC rules plantifffs did not have legal standing to bring suit, the SC should call out the federal judge who allowed the suit to move forward in the first place.

The Trump name needs to be eradicated from American politics. Trump's emergence has stained our society in ways not seen since the Civil War. Trump's attacks against civility, truth and common decency undermine American democracy.

All thanks to Trump, who could not stand Obama and Democrats having successfully negotiated an agreement with Iran. The current Mid East tensions and war can be traced directly back to Trump's insecurity and stupidity. And John Bolton, Trump's Security Advisor, should not be given air time by anyone

"Fox News" does not exist because it doesn't present factual news, only right wing opinion. I'd like to see the FCC instruct Fox to remove the "News" portion of it's broadcast and force it to state clearly that what is about to be presented is opinion, not news.

Instead of passing a funding bill to support Ukraine, or passing a bill to address the border crisis, Republicans waste time and money on a meaningless impeachment of Mayorkas while at the same time, losing ANOTHER election. Republicans never seem to learn from mistakes, instead repeating them.

She's an idiot for getting involved in a relationship with one of her prosecutors and placing the Georgia criminal trail against Trump at risk. She should be forced to step down and a new AG appointed to the case.

Never ceases to amaze me how the press continues to give Trump all the front page coverage he thrives on, then wonders why he keeps being successful. The media still haven't figured out that they enable Trump's vitriol.

@climatenews.bsky.social I find it perplexing that to reduce my carbon footprint I can install solar in my home for net $8,600 out of pocket and save $20k over 20 years on electricity costs but buying a new hybrid or EV to accomplish the same thing would cost $40k-$50k. Perhaps I'm just naive.

I avoid eating or drinking food or liquids in plastic. No plastic bottle liquids. No plastic food containers. Plastic is pervasive in society and is required in many situations but allowing it in the food chain cannot be acceptable.

If Trump or any Republican wins in 2024, imagine the damage an even larger majority of conservative SC justices will do to abortion rights, voting rights, proliferation of more guns and more murders, etc. etc.
