Would you consider referring to him as Lady Marmalade? Given his hatred of and disdain for women, that would be even more insulting ... If I'm overstepping, apologies. Thanks.
TY. I was unsure if I should post "drop the "Lady" in support of all females. Now I'm rethinking "marmalade". #ETTD. He can't ruin any other words decent people use as a good thing.
Hmm... I see Lady Marmalade saying coyly: "Would you like to pillow with me?" whereas Dumpy surprized Stormy Daniels first wearing black satin PJs that looked like he stole them from Heff, then by lying back on the bed in a t-shirt and boxers over his fat flabby body when she came out of the bathroom. Not exactly flirtatious or coy.
Hey Linda and everyone here’s a link to a woman on fire 🔥 and she definitely has something to say.. OMGeee she’s amazing she’s saying the quiet part out loud and proud.. I hope this link thingy works.. I’m not that savvy with tech I’m better than the hubby but my kids of course are my go to for when I need help with all things computer phones etc.. so keeping my fingers crossed.. but damn she’s saying everything we’ve been posting on here and it’s fucking amazing!!
Reminds me of that point in the movie where Indy and Marion are tied back-to-back to a stake - and their captors open the Ark and the dark melt-your-face crap comes flying out non-stop… “KEEP YOUR EYES SHUT!”
Do you remember how DFF used to say that putting them on trial was keeping them off the campaign trail? That making him sit in a courtroom was election interference?
The reason DFF is laying low now is to not interrupt the cannibalistic attacks upon Joe Biden. Don't interrupt it when Biden is having a hard time. Now it's DFF who doesn't want to interfere with the election.
I agree 100% with what Jeff is saying about how things would play themselves out if someone tried to get rid of Biden. I think even the crazy dems who attacked Biden are reconsidering themselves as they see how tired the Biden is old is becoming. You would think with NATO happening tomorrow, and the Republican National Convention will be in Milwaukee next week, a city Trump has insulted, would give them some other stories, but they are like lazy workers, they just want to milk this instead of doing their jobs.
On msnbc over the weekend was a democratic congresswoman saying "I want to know that Joe Biden is capable of doing the job of President." I actually screamed at the screen: WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK IS DOING IT NOW??
Every day spent taking about Bidens age is a wasted day; that could be spent defeating the treason weasel.
In the meantime, the wicked orange turd with that dead weasel on his demented dome keeps getting the usual free passes and hand slaps. Where has he been and why isn't it being reported that there's been no activity on his campaign trail? It seems obvious that somethings not right in MAGAtville but once again, the media is fucking up big time by not reporting the truth, facts and the reality of what is really happening. Maybe someone will step it up and let us know since all of us inquiring minds are tired of this biased, pick and choose reporting bullshit.
Et tu, Jen Psaki? Turned on her Sunday show because I wanted to see advertised guests Neal Katyal and Andrew Weissman. The first forty-five minutes of the show were devoted to the " Is Biden fit to run" topic, at the end of which she questioned why the media doesn't focus on the deficiencies of Trump. Am I missing something here? Is she not part of the media? By the time I got to the last segment to hear Katyal and Weissman I was so steamed about the whole show that I can barely remember what either of them said. Disappointed doesn't begin to cover how I feel about how she's treating President Biden.
I deliberately did not watch Jen yesterday. A hunch I would feel the need to scream at my television. Monday has been my favorite day of the week. Jen Psaki, Rachel Maddow? I recorded every show from Nicole Wallace to The 11th Hour. Just cancelled recording everything on MSNBC. The minute they joined the New York Times in the feeding frenzy, they lost me. I subscribed to The Philadelphia Inquirer because their headline post in response to this bullshit was FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY TRUMP SHOULD DROP OUT. I hope they become THE go to newspaper.
I also used to record & watch MSNBC from Deadline WH to the 11th Hour. I canceled the recordings at the beginning of May & have not missed it at all. Thinking of canceling cable altogether
I canceled cable years ago. I pay extra to Hulu for an add-on that includes CNN and MSNBC, only because if something big is happening somewhere, they’ll be covering it, even if no one else is. I still think that’s what 24-hour cable news programs were created for in the first place. The rest of their programming I avoid.
Haven't watched any MSNBC since the after debate panel bs. I may tune into Lawrence tonight but nope - done with Maddow, Nicolle Wallace, and all of them.
I’m avoiding most MSM these days. All of it. It’s become toxic. Independent media (like this Substack) are our only hope at this point. May this be a renaissance.
I'm not watching ANYBODY!!! I don't see the need to ratchet up my anxiety level any higher. I'm blocking anyone who dwells on this shit (I blocked Rob Reiner yesterday on Xitter). I also blocked Jerry Nadler, who was the only one of the Congressional idiots I was following. I don't want to criticize a Democrat (unlike them), but Nadler has a fucking nerve given his health issues!
I'm sticking with Joe. If you haven't already, listen to his call-in to MSNBC's 'Morning Joe" this morning. I did have that on for some reason, and I think from listening to him, he's just about ready to tell all the naysayers to go fuck themselves! Or maybe that was just me hoping!
Does anyone know how we could check if their ratings have dropped? I saw CNN had the lowest ratings in 30 plus years. What about MSNBC? I never watched CNN.
Carefully selected substacks works for me. Also subscribed to Philadelphia Inquirer because their take on this bs is FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY, TRUMP SHOULD WITHDRAW. My kind of newspaper.
Except, Trump’s too stupid to follow sage advice. I think there’s some other reason, I don’t know what, that we mercifully haven’t heard or seen him in a few days.
May I urge everyone here who's for Joe to call, tweet, contact every possible media outlet to cover Turd's Project 25 wall to wall. We can't complain unless we act NOW!
Agree. MSNBC reported & showed video of #Turd wandering around his golf motel in golf apparel last night & detailed his non-campaign schedule compared to Joe Biden's packed schedule.
After faithfully watching MSNBC since 2008, I no longer watch them or listen to them when I'm in the car. I'm done. They need to go work for FOX. I only read the right wing Las Vegas Review Journal to catch up on local news. That paper for years has been slanted to the right and Adelson's widow owns it. She needs to go back to her native country and stay there. You come here as an immigrant and you want to trash your adopted country? Don't think so.
Tuned in to Washington Week on PBS one night and was shock to hear what Jeff Greenberg from the Atlantic was saying about Biden. Never watched it again no and never will,
1. Everyone who lives in the US has the right to trash it. That's part of what makes the US the US. Yes, I wish that dead Adelson and living Adelson were/are decent people rather than pieces of shit, and that they had used and would use their ill-gotten gains to help others, but such is the world and so it has always been -- that pieces of shit exploit others, amass wealth, and buy power that lets them create further misery for others (and more wealth for themselves). We have to band together and fight for laws that keep their wealth-accumulation somewhat in check.
2. Telling someone to go back to where they came from bc they're saying something you don't like -- or even saying something that could harm the democratic foundation of this country -- is very ultra-right-wing. For your own well-being (and for Dem credibility), please don't engage in that.
3. Suggesting that MSNBC staff are essentially Fox staff is the kind of reductive, untrue, and anger-based response that will serve you, and the Dem cause, very badly. Please don't engage in this kind of thinking.
If I've offended you, I apologize profusely -- that's not my intention. Rather, I hear in your post some extremism -- understandable, given how angry and scared we all are, but not at all helpful -- so I'm respectfully asking you to rethink this. Thanks.
Well said. It's very easy, heck, it's unavoidable!, to get madder than hell. Sometimes the best thing to do is cut back on the amount of time watching the 24-hour cable news shows, just take a break - it's just not healthy! They'll still be doing their things a few weeks from now when you tune back in. It's enough to read a couple digital or print sources a day and check out one or two opinion takes from people who've earned your respect (like Jeff here). Getting off the hamster wheel for a little while will let a person come back re-energized and in a better, less stressed mood. The people on TV are getting paid to fill airtime, headline writers are paid to fill pages with content, but we are not required to follow all their endeavors every day they're earning their bread.
I reread my posts to you and I don't find anywhere in them that I was telling you how to think, compared you to a right winger or accused you of extremism. I was merely asking what's the point of Dems bashing Biden and you never answered. You didn't offend me, you annoyed me with your judgmental attitude and thinking you know my motives for what I wrote. I'm not a child - I don't need to be told how to think and what to write by you.
As far as Adelson is concerned - I don't care what she says, I sure do care about the millions and millions of dollars that family has poured into right wing candidates to destroy our democracy. Started way before Trump. Criticize the US all you want (we're far from perfect), but make it constructive criticism on how to make the US better, not destroy it. If that's your agenda, then please go back from where you came from. All the money she has is because she married him and he made all his money in the US. When I visited Israel, my guide said that the Israelis didn't like him either (he was alive then). So there's that.
You know you're offending people with what you write, so don't bother to follow it up with an apology. Have a nice day!
When we were kids in the 60’s growing up in Dorchester Mass. all the adults would point to Adelson as the one we should strive to be like ,as he was from our neighborhood and so very wealthy! HOLY FUCKEN MOLLY that was most poisonous advice they could give us ,Dot was a totally working class lower middle income neighborhood and that fat asshole was everything we did not want to be except the rich part ! Watching him over the years shriveled my nuts thinking he was one of us ! But you know what fuck him and his wealth he was nothing like us he had no sense of community or respect for others! We were the wealthiest ones !
I never talk like that to people. It's just the way I feel about people that use America to get wealthy, yet turn around and spit on her. I'm actually a nice person lol. The casino industry is slimy. I live in Vegas. That's how he made his money. A few big shots here going down for money laundering. I'm sure Sheldon's hands weren't clean either. His allegiance was always to Israel anyway. He was just born here. So now we deal with the wife who isn't that old.
The focus is not on what Biden has accomplished during his time in office. Sure, he has been doing a good job!
Does that mean he is able to carry that forward?
He has held alarmingly few press conferences. His exposures to the public are few and brief. Nobody here is “attacking” Biden. Some of us doubt that he can deliver an effective campaign against Trump.
It is wishful thinking that independents, disaffected Dems, double-haters and younger voters are going to magically come to their senses and vote Joe.
We need them if we will defeat Trump. Biden Zealots are not sufficient to secure reelection.
We are also facing foreign interference and outrageous voter suppression. We need every possible Never Trump vote. I worry that a Parkinsonian-seeming gentleman has what it takes to campaign nonstop to override these challenges.
ALL of my acquaintances will be voting for Joe! I’ll take an honest hardworking old man any day over the convicted felon. Biden is working hard for all of us, let him keep going.
Are you a neurologist? No? And even if you were, you feel comfortable diagnosing Joe Biden from the distance of the Internet?
“Biden Zealots”? Really? So, supporting our effective, experienced president, who for 3 1/2 years has proved he can deliver, makes voters who still support him “zealots”? I see what you’re trying to do there. How about grow the fuck up and get with the program. Let’s don’t even go into how nearly-impossible it would be at this point to simply replace him. You’re with Biden, or you’re contributing to Trump’s return.
Point is Biden requested this debate and 50 million people saw it. I know people like my wife, who barely follows any of this, just saw a bewildered old man. People have to see this through the eyes of others. Democrats alone are not going to reelect Biden over Benedict Donald, aka Felon 45. Time for action.
Your "action" is you running off a cliff like lemmings (so the myth goes) by some NeoLib Dems and the Mainstream Media, whose corporate masters would sell out all of us for Trump's tax cuts.
Tell me who you would replace Biden with who stands any better chance of beating Donald Trump, especially with less than four months left to go.
I suspect you have fantasies of Bob&Weave Kennedy, or worse the woman who GAVE us "President Trump", Hillary Rodham Clinton, swooping in and saving the day for you. Even Drooling Donnie would make those two look like roadkill—but Biden? Scares the shit out of him—that's why he's so eager to see Biden go away!
Deborah-I agree. The leftover Adelson can take her Fascist BS and leave the country. She is supporting sedition and lies through ownership of media sources. Her media should be declared a terrorist organization and treated as such. She is DIRECTLY responsible for endangering all people opposed to the Cult of trump. A felon-rapist-seditionist supporter should receive no amount of respectful treatment but face consequences!
I am so tired of screaming at the talking no nothings on tv that I’m reading books, and my Substack scribes. And her voice ( you know who I’m talking about), to the moon, Alice, you’re old too.
Yesterday on Twitter it was a shit show. Journalists who I’ve followed for a long time were getting on the Biden Should Drop Out Train. That also included Rob Reiner. I was shocked!!
I went off on all of them and then blocked them. WTAF is wrong with these people⁉️
As Jeff pointed out, 98.2% of the House Democrats are voting for President Biden, only 6 of them are calling for him to step aside.
The people who pissed me of the most are the supposed journalists on the left who are calling for Biden to step aside and celebrities like Rob Reiner and Stephen King.
And what’s with the old rich white guys telling Joe to drop out? Yesterday Rob Reiner. Today Stephen King. I guess they don’t need to worry about having no social security income like so many of us do.
I blocked Rob Reiner on Twitter. I just don't understand why these comments are being made by Dems. What is the end game? Do they want to see Trump elected? If there's any time to circle the wagons, it's now. GOP sure does it. Very disappointed in their lack of foresight about making sure Biden wins the race. When Biden wins, I hope these 2 slink right back under the rock that they came from. No excuse to open your mouth now. If you don't have anything positive to say about Biden, STFU. Run your mouth after the election.
Unbelievable! I called Angie Craig's office this morning. I was pissed off. I told them the GQP will follow their rapist to the grave and you guys are eating Biden for lunch. WTF! What part of they want Democrats dead don't you fucking people understand. I said a lot of things.
BTW, all MSM's CEOs have donated to King Shitpants campaign. I've tried to send emails to CNN. However, they keep saying, they failed. What's up with that? Call your people, call the media.
Also there will be a ANTI-PROJECT 2025 rally in Times Square Saturday July 27th at 7 pm. We need these all over the country. Britain and France did it. Now it's our turn to show up for our fragile democracy.
“Joe Biden has been a fine president, but it’s time for him - in the interests of the America he so clearly loves - to announce he will not run for re-election.”
Stephen King’s twitter post from 6:36am this morning.
And the idiot Elmo immediately posted back - incorrectly I hope - that King is voting for trump.
Elmo is a (very rich) arrested-adolescence troll. He's rubbing in his weird, adolescent-like thrill of 'owning the libs' to imply that a well known liberal thinks Biden's chances are poor right now. No, Stephen King is as concerned with beating trump as anyone here is, and Elon is trying to get a few million Xitter "likes".
Deborah 🎯 We are fighting Fascism and have an incumbent who has accomplished a lot for this country. He has a great administration. After we get a bullet proof congress and re-elect our president, then we can make further demands. These dumb asses acting like we will all come together and agree on a new candidate at 11th hour is deluded!
I think they're in favor of a Dem in the WH on 1-21-25-- and they see that Biden is doing even worse in the polls than he was before the debate.
To be clear, I'm not supporting or excusing what they're doing, but I think their intentions are good. No matter how much we loyalists support him, we CANNOT ignore that he was already a very unpopular president (which is ridiculous, but US voters are under-informed or misinformed) -- and we cannot force others to see reality and vote for Biden rather than scump, or vote for Biden rather than stay home (which is basically a vote for scump).
This is an incredibly scary time, made scarier by the debate having shown that Biden has definitely deteriorated. I'm 100% behind him; I'll vote for him; I'll tell any doubters about all that he has accomplished during his incredibly productive presidency, and that I have faith in his ability to lead just as well for another four years; but I'm not fooling myself about his having become noticeably weaker, less articulate, and less energetic in even the past four years (watch vids of him from the 2020 campaign).
Shut the fuck up about "poor old deteriorating" Joe. Your "both sideism" is exceptionally irritating and all you do is wear the rest of us down with your mealy mouth criticism and "I'll still support Joe but he's SO FUCKING OLD... "
I'd like to see you run the fucking country at 81.
Why aren't you talking about lldf and his moronic statements and grotesque, rapist, lying ass ????? Huh????? Nothing to say...? 🙄😕🤬🤷♀️
If Joe decides to go, and he might, then our attention and support has to go 100% behind pushing for Kamala. It's out of our hands, his decision, being upset ain't gonna change it. I prefer he continues, and I support him completely, and I agree that all this commentary about it is very distracting, but the reporting is showing he's listening to many,many Democratic party insiders. Just be prepared, that's all I've got to say.
So how does coming out and publicly bashing Biden in the polls, help Biden get elected? Sorry I fail to see the connection. I don't agree that Biden has been very unpopular. He's no Obama, but the nasty stuff you hear about him is coming from the GOP as usual. As far as Biden's age showing, where's the talk about Trump? He's almost the same age, has shown signs of deteriorating the last few years too. It's utterly unrealistic to expect an 80 year old plus person to be the same person they were 10 years ago. I don't feel that Trump voters aren't realistic - they are for the most part, racist or want fascism. It's not an issue of being uninformed. They're in a cult. You don't educate people like that. You keep voting them out until they're a minority that's talked about in hushed tones. Your post is pretty down on Biden. Just my opinion. We already know all of this. This is about a criminal, sociopath who will ruin this country versus a candidate that will not. Period. Doesn't matter how old they are at this point. My choice would not be to have people I would have gone to high school with running for president, but you play the hand you're dealt. I would be surprised if either candidate finished out their term. Either hand it over to their VP for mental/physical incapacity or death.
I get what you're saying. Biden should have passed the torch, but obviously he didn't. So here we are. Why is this ok for Republicans? Reagan had Alzheimer's his last term and they covered his ass. And they support Agent Orange's ignorant ass. Leonard Leo and his alt-right American Oligarchs have spent millions of dollars to divide us. This is their game. We don't play it very well.
They sure did cover Ronnie, didn't they? He had it long before we knew publicly that he did. He ought to be glad he wasn't a Dem. Some Dems would have been out there saying that he should step down and let his VP take over. The media also was different then. They covered up JFK's affairs and his Addison's Disease. Never heard a word about any of that back in the day. I'm old enough to remember when so many things/people were kept in the closet. Transparency is a good thing, but it's gone wild today into trash media, lies and ridiculousness. It started with the internet. And got truly toxic with social media., cable "news" and pundits. Years ago, you had 30 minutes of national/world news at dinnertime by non-controversial newscasters. It wasn't opinion news, it was factual news for the most part. How I long for those days.
Ruth should have passed the torch too, and look where we are now with the SC. Same with Feinstein and Grandpa Grassley. I'm not in a position of power, but what is it about power that people just can't seem to let go even when they should be in a nursing home instead? The Dems are just as guilty as the GOP on this issue. That's why there should be NO appointments for life for anything and age limits on candidates and term limits.
Agree!!!!! Nobody can convince me that someone in their 80’s can function physically and as an executive as well as they did 20 years prior. We are talking president of this country, not a family doctor or favorite teacher. Even then: it is healthy to respect the elders and welcome “fresh energy” and new insights.
And! Those annoying $$-begging texts that start with “Folks!!” They go straight to the trash. Whoever is writing for Uncle Joe should stop faking his “voice” by using “old-persons” words
If and when the Dems get complete control of the government again, they need to pass age limits for all elected officials and term limits. We wouldn't be having this conversation if we had such laws in place. No only is there worry about dementia in older candidates, their ideas may not be as progressive as they should be. I'm a Boomer and I know I cling to much of the way we used to do things, while my millennial son has more modern ways and ideas. Especially technology.
I respectfully, and strongly, disagree. There is zero reason to think that any left-leaning arts people (Reiner, King, etc.) want scump to win. There is no way that they want to live in an autocracy, or that they want to subject others to that -- their work shows that they value humanity. I think it's more accurate to say that they're just as serious and committed as is Jeff, for ex., even though they're taking a different approach.
I implore you not to let your anger lead you into inaccurate black-or-white thinking, or lead you into seeing them as the enemy because they support a different solution than you do. To do so is to play into "Dems in Disarray," and we can't afford that right now. If I've offended you, I apologize -- not my intention. Just hoping you'll see that we're all on the same side -- we want to keep a Dem in the WH -- even as some people have differing views on how to accomplish that.
Dee, I respect your opinion. But please explain to me (and no one has yet) how bashing Biden publicly in any way helps his candidacy? What is the strategy beind this? The GOP goes after it like a dog after a bone. It just gives them more justification to say Biden is too old. Say what you want behind closed doors, but what happened to a unified front about this? That's why I am asking for an explanation because I sure don't understand that logic. I no longer listen to Maher or Moore. I hope that after Biden wins, that we don't forget that they tried to aid the enemy.
Are we supposed to pledge OUR fealty to a “Dear Leader” and fall in line behind a a truly good person who does not have what is required to win by a significant margin?
It will take a real margin to offset the screaming and raging that will absolutely happen if Biden squeaks out a win.
Every pony y'all want has already left the field. There is no way to change the ticket at this point, legally, unless OHJB himself decides to step down and announces it (and the RW is already teeing up the lawsuits to prevent anyone else from going on the planned state ballots) or Biden dies. The Ds have to tell Ohio that Biden is the guy at the top of the ticket on August 7th to avoid disaster there. The money legally belongs to the Biden/Harris ticket. The staff and supplies belong to Biden, largely, not Kamala. Giving her less than three months to transition is not enough time. The MSM will go after her even harder in that time. And the VP pick. And it will have to be Kamala, otherwise the war chest loses ALL of its money back to the donors and the newly anointed will have to start from zero just a few months before the election that will end our country if we don't unite in time.
.
Maybe you weren't alive in 1968 or 1972? A Dems in disarray political convention is exactly what the Trump team is hoping for--anything to take the voters' attention off of how terrible Trump is and how horrific Project 2025 is. Anything that will sow doubt and confusion in the minds of voters. Chaos helps the Rs enormously. (Have you printed your copy of Project 2025 yet? Because no one should be surprised if it disappears from the Heritage Foundation's site because of pressure from the Rs, who are trying to run away from it as fast as they can.)
.
Biden isn't going anywhere, and Kamala supports him. Please stop listening to the polls (the only poll that truly matters is on election day), the MSM, and the disingenuous. There will be time to hold the D's feet to the fire after the election. Every time doubt is sown about Biden, Putin gets a tingle in his boxers. Maybe listen to people who aren't white? Put pressure on the pundits to talk about how Trump is unfit to be President and seems to be missing from the campaign trail. Vote BLUE up and down the ballot. DON'T GIVE UP THE SHIP
The president’s campaign is in discussions for him to drop out as a racial matter, saying that elitist, out-of-touch, white liberals want him to step down while black and minority voters want him to stay.
Have to ask yourself is it you, or why ALL of these disparate people are coming to a different conclusion than you are. I am voting against Trump regardless, but I want a younger candidate that highlights how low energy Dementia Don is. Biden will be 30 years older at Inauguration than Clinton/Obama and W were. Trump is equally old. We need to turn not only trump's criminal treason and grifting into a liability, but also his dementia and uninformed BS.
It's too late to get a younger candidate. That horse already left the gate. Besides, if something happens to Biden, he has a much younger, capable VP in the wings. Kamala isn't 80. So actually, we will really be voting for the VP picks for president since odds are pretty good that neither candidate will be around in 2028. Either mentally or physically unable to do the job or has died. If Dems are so upset about Biden's age, then the first thing they need to do is pass age limits when they get control of Congress. Both parties are guilty of letting this issue go. Reagan's been gone since 1988, plenty of time to pass this law since it's been known for decades that he had Alzheimer's while in office. Both parties are greedy for power.
Perhaps you’ve already seen this VERY RECENT headline?......
“Surprise win for French leftwing alliance keeps far right from power”
That headline proves my point……..about “polls”…….
It is absolutely ridiculous and absurd to place any credence on polls. When you compare the number of people who participated in a poll (for most polls, less than 2,500 people) to the number of registered voters in the United States of America (over 160 million people) the results of a poll, any poll, are total bullshit. Bullshit that no one should be concerned about. Add to that the fact that Democrats were asked not to participate in any polls. Because of that, poll results that show Liar, Fraud, Con, Scumbag, Racist, Sex-Abuser, Traitor, America’s Disgrace, Piece of Shit, Wannabe-Dictator Trump leading President Joseph R. Biden, Jr are nothing but fascist propaganda.
President Biden is, for a second time, going to crush and flush scumbag Trump in the upcoming November election. CRUSH and FLUSH piece-of-shit Trump! Scumbag Trump has zero chance of ever being President again.
MAGAcultists who think that “undecided voters” are going to vote for Scumbag Trump because President Biden stuttered and fumbled through one debate are total fucking idiots. Given a choice between voting for an older person (President Biden) and person who is a fraud, a con, a convicted felon, a traitor, a fascist, a racist, Putin’s puppet and scumbag piece of shit (Fraud Trump), who lies every time he opens his disgusting fucking mouth, “undecided voters” will vote for President Biden.
The French Left and Center believed their polls, and several normally stubborn pols with one “L” stepped aside for the greater good. Recognition and selfless corrective action were required for victory.
They most certainly did NOT deny the painful reality learned from polling, they acknowledged it fully and took bold corrective action. “The polls are wrong and should be ignored” is precisely the wrong take on what happened in France.
Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face! Canceled my NYT subscription today. Signed up for AP breaking news alerts so I will know the second TFG drops dead.
Sharky McDoughboy! 😂😂. Comer Fudd is SUCH a waste of air. JFC-give up. American politics is such an embarrassment. I’ve been encouraging emails to the NYT to express our concerns over the biased reporting. Some say it won’t do any good. I’m not just gonna roll over and do nothing. 🙄. And Dems-PLEASE get your heads out of your asses. Improve your messaging! I’m exhausted.
We could play it safe and use both; I just sent a message to both and didn't get a bounceback, so there's no way to know whether both addresses are valid, whether both are invalid, or whether one (and which one) is valid.
Jeff, if you didn't express the disgust and rage I feel with absolute verbal precision, I'd have to do it myself, and I don't have the energy. So thank you. I love your guts. The other people whose Substacks I read say the same thing, if more politely. (Joyce Vance, Robert Hubbell, Lucian Truscott). Biden made a surprise call to Morning Joe this a.m. and said if Democrats think someone else would be better, then challenge him. Run against him at the convention. I predict the response will be crickets. Heather Cox Richardson says the noise will die down when it's clear that Biden is not quitting.
Won’t it be fuckin’ hilarious when the Turd Reich shuts down the free press and all these turd-promoting assholes are out on the street unemployed—or in prison or worse?!?!
I've said that over and over and over. CNN, MSNBC, Washington Post, New York Times, and possibly even Fox News will be gone not very long after they're in power. And if not gone altogether, then under so much government scrutiny they'll effectively be gone.
And yet they just won't open their eyes and see that. They think they'll be protected by the First Amendment, but the Fascisticons will find a way around that.
They'll still have jobs; it's just that they'll be employed writing what the Dumpy administration and Project 2025 tell them to. Not terribly different from now.
I'm old, 77, a woman and I vote--in all elections. I would vote for a bedpost rather than an orange turd. I cancelled my subscription to NYT and signed up for more substack writers. The media do want that OT to win--more chaos equals more clicks. I want democracy to win.
Maybe you're young enough, or lucky enough, not to have watched a parent, aunt, uncle, or grandparent decline -- but as someone who has watched many relatives decline (among them my mother, for whom I was the live-in caregiver), I can tell you that the person in decline does *not* have an accurate sense of their abilities, so Biden's saying that he's good to go is largely meaningless.
To be clear: I support and will vote for Biden in 2024, as I did in 2020. I have 100% faith in his ability to assemble a cabinet that will shore him up when that's needed. But I'm not kidding myself about the obvious signs of deterioration -- you need only watch some vids of him in 2020 to see a very different energy level and an ability to communicate clearly -- and no one else should, either. Keeping our heads in the sand means that we can't quickly come up with a good alternative, should one be needed.
Our goal is to keep a Dem in the WH -- and a lot of Americans think that Biden is impaired and should not be elected. We can't pretend that lot of people believe otherwise! We can't pretend that our staunch faith in him will magically impel them to vote for him. Our solution doesn't have to be "replace him," but whichever solution we choose, it has to be based in *facts*.
Actually, I’m 71 and took care of both of my parents for 5 years before they passed. I watched Biden in Madison WI and he did a great job. My head is not in the sand-I am grateful for the people he has in his life and cabinet and clearly so is he. I do not think removing him at this point will win the election, thus my comment.
You are exactly right -I too watch relatives decline and pass throughout my life - my parrents (now deceased) were each the youngest of eight and what I saw on that stage (and I did go back and look at the 2020 debate) looked too familiar. I absolute hate Trump and wish Biden was not like this, but we MUST win.
The Democrats cannot win with just the Democratic Vote - same for Trump. He also needs independents and low information voters and the GQP will be running a confused looking Biden on a loop all the way till election. We need a younger candidate
totally - but the question is -via what medium? Young people don't vote as much and Old people watch Fox. I was hoping that was going to be the plan closer to the election as that is all the Low Information voters will make their vote based on. The GQP will be showing NON-STOP Adds of Biden looking dead or demented so they better have something way more juicy to Air on Truimp - like his relationship with Epstein and is abortion treachery, which he knows is a massive liability. Biden totally fucked up a question about abortion and steered the answer to an illegal alien killing a woman, handing Trump a gift from God.
THAT WAS POLITICAL MALPRACTICE and if you cannot function being tired, or having a cold or travelling, then the conclusion the world will make - regardless of all the cheerleading here - is that Biden does not have the mental and physical stamina to run the country. And we all know, it is NOT going to improve in the coming years. I think a lot of younger people are eager to see people born after Vietnam or the Gulf War (versus WWII) running for office
The St. Petersburg troll farms are pumping this bullshit narrative non stop since last Thursday. It makes me wonder who has Russian bank accounts. Quit peeing the fucking bed! (Are you listening Rob Reiner, Stephen King, Mark Warner,etc.) Don't do Tsar Vladimir's work for him!!😡😡
Mr. 'I got rich from tech Smartypants" Warner needs to be primaried. He never defends the administration or 'mixes it up' with who he calls his friends. I didn't know he was passed over by Biden for VP...IF that's true. Does he think he's special? That pick would have been twice in a row a white male from Virginia was picked as VP....
Good Morning Jeff, at this point we all know this movement is merely “active measures” promoted by the usual suspects attempting to disrupt our Democracy. We are in this for the long haul as our President is also. Enough with the bickering Dems…. Support our President, defeat fascism, defend Democracy. Have a great day fellow travelers.
Something is going on with the orange menace because the final version of that Project 25 post was definitely not him and his attention whore self isn’t out giving speeches.
Trump is wayyyy too stupid to even be able to properly spell 25. It was written by the Goebbels of his administration. Where has the disgusting blob been recently anyway? I've tried to avoid the sharks in Lake Mead as well as large batteries in the lake, but I need his guidance for more summer safety tips.
Somehow the GQP is keeping the mango moron under wraps while the Dems continue to argue among themselves. The DEMOCRATS need to get their shit together and get behind Joe Biden. Stop the infighting and continue the full court press against the fascist wannabe dictator!!
Here is the latest platform statement from the GQP Treason Weasel Cult about Dear Leader Felon 45, who they worship without question and was never required to debate the younger cnadidates in his own party. They are not about freedom or democracy - it is an CORONATION:
""Only President Trump can restore our economy, restore our southern border, and restore America's standing in the world," the two RNC leaders said in a joint statement. "His 2024 Republican Party Platform is a bold roadmap that will undo the devastating damage that Joe Biden's far-left policies have done to this country, power President Trump to a historic victory in November, and Make America Great Again."
If this bull💩 doesn’t stop we will be handing the presidency to Mr. Marmalade on a silver platter.
AMERICA, BE LIKE FRANCE!! 💙💙💙💙💙
"I see London, I see France, I see no hope for Baron Von Schitzinpantz." -- Morgan Freeman
Perfect ‼️
More like the UK!!🇬🇧🇺🇸
Would you consider referring to him as Lady Marmalade? Given his hatred of and disdain for women, that would be even more insulting ... If I'm overstepping, apologies. Thanks.
Not overstepping as such, but Lady Marmalade always sounded like such a cool woman, and Dumpy is anything but that.
Diss not Miss Patti LaBelle
Plus, no need to misogynize things.
TY. I was unsure if I should post "drop the "Lady" in support of all females. Now I'm rethinking "marmalade". #ETTD. He can't ruin any other words decent people use as a good thing.
And no one wants to couche avec lui ce door
I think I just vomited in my mouth
I mean, where else would you do it?
Ditto. He does have the morality to be lady marmalade
Hmm... I see Lady Marmalade saying coyly: "Would you like to pillow with me?" whereas Dumpy surprized Stormy Daniels first wearing black satin PJs that looked like he stole them from Heff, then by lying back on the bed in a t-shirt and boxers over his fat flabby body when she came out of the bathroom. Not exactly flirtatious or coy.
Thanks I think I just went blind
Lady Marmalade could be TRump's drag stage name! 😁👍
I respectfully object. #OrangeTurd has already dirtied up "patriot" & other words. Lady Marmalade is a great song. His drag name imo is #OrangeTurd.
I almost agreed until I thought about how cool Lady Marmalade is.
Can’t do it. It’s from Moulin Rouge and if you’ve ever seen the play ( the movie sucked) you’d understand.
Or,better than France since they don’t have any clear majority.

Hey Linda and everyone here’s a link to a woman on fire 🔥 and she definitely has something to say.. OMGeee she’s amazing she’s saying the quiet part out loud and proud.. I hope this link thingy works.. I’m not that savvy with tech I’m better than the hubby but my kids of course are my go to for when I need help with all things computer phones etc.. so keeping my fingers crossed.. but damn she’s saying everything we’ve been posting on here and it’s fucking amazing!!
Thanks for posting Bedhead
She is amazing 👏
She was correct.
Joe Biden brought us out out of hell and I will be forever grateful to him.
Wow, she's great! :)
I don't listen to pundits in automobiles.
Like I fucking care about your opinion..
Boy, are you missing out. Liberal Redneck is just too good to miss!
She’s not driving. She’s sitting in the passenger seat of a car. Maybe that’s the only place she could find that’s quiet to speak her mind.
It’s kind of a classic, just sayin!!!
It was awesome!
Reminds me of that point in the movie where Indy and Marion are tied back-to-back to a stake - and their captors open the Ark and the dark melt-your-face crap comes flying out non-stop… “KEEP YOUR EYES SHUT!”
Do you remember how DFF used to say that putting them on trial was keeping them off the campaign trail? That making him sit in a courtroom was election interference?
The reason DFF is laying low now is to not interrupt the cannibalistic attacks upon Joe Biden. Don't interrupt it when Biden is having a hard time. Now it's DFF who doesn't want to interfere with the election.
I agree 100% with what Jeff is saying about how things would play themselves out if someone tried to get rid of Biden. I think even the crazy dems who attacked Biden are reconsidering themselves as they see how tired the Biden is old is becoming. You would think with NATO happening tomorrow, and the Republican National Convention will be in Milwaukee next week, a city Trump has insulted, would give them some other stories, but they are like lazy workers, they just want to milk this instead of doing their jobs.
That's their game plan.
On msnbc over the weekend was a democratic congresswoman saying "I want to know that Joe Biden is capable of doing the job of President." I actually screamed at the screen: WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK IS DOING IT NOW??
Every day spent taking about Bidens age is a wasted day; that could be spent defeating the treason weasel.
In the meantime, the wicked orange turd with that dead weasel on his demented dome keeps getting the usual free passes and hand slaps. Where has he been and why isn't it being reported that there's been no activity on his campaign trail? It seems obvious that somethings not right in MAGAtville but once again, the media is fucking up big time by not reporting the truth, facts and the reality of what is really happening. Maybe someone will step it up and let us know since all of us inquiring minds are tired of this biased, pick and choose reporting bullshit.
Will there be a significant backlash against MSM because of their current fuckery, and if so, who will tell us about it?
We know Jeff will along with others like Mary Trump and Robert Reich.
Et tu, Jen Psaki? Turned on her Sunday show because I wanted to see advertised guests Neal Katyal and Andrew Weissman. The first forty-five minutes of the show were devoted to the " Is Biden fit to run" topic, at the end of which she questioned why the media doesn't focus on the deficiencies of Trump. Am I missing something here? Is she not part of the media? By the time I got to the last segment to hear Katyal and Weissman I was so steamed about the whole show that I can barely remember what either of them said. Disappointed doesn't begin to cover how I feel about how she's treating President Biden.
I deliberately did not watch Jen yesterday. A hunch I would feel the need to scream at my television. Monday has been my favorite day of the week. Jen Psaki, Rachel Maddow? I recorded every show from Nicole Wallace to The 11th Hour. Just cancelled recording everything on MSNBC. The minute they joined the New York Times in the feeding frenzy, they lost me. I subscribed to The Philadelphia Inquirer because their headline post in response to this bullshit was FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY TRUMP SHOULD DROP OUT. I hope they become THE go to newspaper.
I also used to record & watch MSNBC from Deadline WH to the 11th Hour. I canceled the recordings at the beginning of May & have not missed it at all. Thinking of canceling cable altogether
I canceled cable years ago. I pay extra to Hulu for an add-on that includes CNN and MSNBC, only because if something big is happening somewhere, they’ll be covering it, even if no one else is. I still think that’s what 24-hour cable news programs were created for in the first place. The rest of their programming I avoid.
Haven't watched any MSNBC since the after debate panel bs. I may tune into Lawrence tonight but nope - done with Maddow, Nicolle Wallace, and all of them.
I’m avoiding most MSM these days. All of it. It’s become toxic. Independent media (like this Substack) are our only hope at this point. May this be a renaissance.
I'm not watching ANYBODY!!! I don't see the need to ratchet up my anxiety level any higher. I'm blocking anyone who dwells on this shit (I blocked Rob Reiner yesterday on Xitter). I also blocked Jerry Nadler, who was the only one of the Congressional idiots I was following. I don't want to criticize a Democrat (unlike them), but Nadler has a fucking nerve given his health issues!
I'm sticking with Joe. If you haven't already, listen to his call-in to MSNBC's 'Morning Joe" this morning. I did have that on for some reason, and I think from listening to him, he's just about ready to tell all the naysayers to go fuck themselves! Or maybe that was just me hoping!
I've removed msnbc from my rotation and I bet I'm not the only one. FFS
Does anyone know how we could check if their ratings have dropped? I saw CNN had the lowest ratings in 30 plus years. What about MSNBC? I never watched CNN.
This is not surprising.
Their format is outdated. They have never tried to bring new generations into the news. They've only focused on adults and not future viewers.
dunno?
I get it, but eventually if I don't turn on MSNBC i will have no news at all!
I use substacks almost exclusively these days.
Carefully selected substacks works for me. Also subscribed to Philadelphia Inquirer because their take on this bs is FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY, TRUMP SHOULD WITHDRAW. My kind of newspaper.
But MSNBC is NOT news; it's opinion. I'm only watching Lawrence O'Donnell now--he's the only one who knows how any of this works!
Wow. I missed that. Yes, it was HER fucking show. Why didn’t she direct the conversation that way? Surely she wasn’t intimidated by the big boys?
And to think she was his press secretary!
It won’t be the MSM
WE ARE the "significant backlash! Email, contact your Senators & Reps. that you strongly support Joe!
I wish I could. Unfortunately, I’m a political prisoner down here in Redneckistan. Calls to my “representatives” are useless.
Yep. Our up Turd's backside GOP Rep -- useless to contact.
I think tRump feels he doesn’t have to do anything. Dems & the media are doing it for him
Exactly right. As Sun Tzu said, never interrupt the enemy when he is making a mistake.
Except, Trump’s too stupid to follow sage advice. I think there’s some other reason, I don’t know what, that we mercifully haven’t heard or seen him in a few days.
Trump is happy to have Biden stay in - note he is saying nothing for a reason
Scary thought
May I urge everyone here who's for Joe to call, tweet, contact every possible media outlet to cover Turd's Project 25 wall to wall. We can't complain unless we act NOW!
Agree. MSNBC reported & showed video of #Turd wandering around his golf motel in golf apparel last night & detailed his non-campaign schedule compared to Joe Biden's packed schedule.
After faithfully watching MSNBC since 2008, I no longer watch them or listen to them when I'm in the car. I'm done. They need to go work for FOX. I only read the right wing Las Vegas Review Journal to catch up on local news. That paper for years has been slanted to the right and Adelson's widow owns it. She needs to go back to her native country and stay there. You come here as an immigrant and you want to trash your adopted country? Don't think so.
I can't even listen to PBS anymore, it's the same garbage.
Tuned in to Washington Week on PBS one night and was shock to hear what Jeff Greenberg from the Atlantic was saying about Biden. Never watched it again no and never will,
A few things concern me.
1. Everyone who lives in the US has the right to trash it. That's part of what makes the US the US. Yes, I wish that dead Adelson and living Adelson were/are decent people rather than pieces of shit, and that they had used and would use their ill-gotten gains to help others, but such is the world and so it has always been -- that pieces of shit exploit others, amass wealth, and buy power that lets them create further misery for others (and more wealth for themselves). We have to band together and fight for laws that keep their wealth-accumulation somewhat in check.
2. Telling someone to go back to where they came from bc they're saying something you don't like -- or even saying something that could harm the democratic foundation of this country -- is very ultra-right-wing. For your own well-being (and for Dem credibility), please don't engage in that.
3. Suggesting that MSNBC staff are essentially Fox staff is the kind of reductive, untrue, and anger-based response that will serve you, and the Dem cause, very badly. Please don't engage in this kind of thinking.
If I've offended you, I apologize profusely -- that's not my intention. Rather, I hear in your post some extremism -- understandable, given how angry and scared we all are, but not at all helpful -- so I'm respectfully asking you to rethink this. Thanks.
Well said. It's very easy, heck, it's unavoidable!, to get madder than hell. Sometimes the best thing to do is cut back on the amount of time watching the 24-hour cable news shows, just take a break - it's just not healthy! They'll still be doing their things a few weeks from now when you tune back in. It's enough to read a couple digital or print sources a day and check out one or two opinion takes from people who've earned your respect (like Jeff here). Getting off the hamster wheel for a little while will let a person come back re-energized and in a better, less stressed mood. The people on TV are getting paid to fill airtime, headline writers are paid to fill pages with content, but we are not required to follow all their endeavors every day they're earning their bread.
I reread my posts to you and I don't find anywhere in them that I was telling you how to think, compared you to a right winger or accused you of extremism. I was merely asking what's the point of Dems bashing Biden and you never answered. You didn't offend me, you annoyed me with your judgmental attitude and thinking you know my motives for what I wrote. I'm not a child - I don't need to be told how to think and what to write by you.
As far as Adelson is concerned - I don't care what she says, I sure do care about the millions and millions of dollars that family has poured into right wing candidates to destroy our democracy. Started way before Trump. Criticize the US all you want (we're far from perfect), but make it constructive criticism on how to make the US better, not destroy it. If that's your agenda, then please go back from where you came from. All the money she has is because she married him and he made all his money in the US. When I visited Israel, my guide said that the Israelis didn't like him either (he was alive then). So there's that.
You know you're offending people with what you write, so don't bother to follow it up with an apology. Have a nice day!
When we were kids in the 60’s growing up in Dorchester Mass. all the adults would point to Adelson as the one we should strive to be like ,as he was from our neighborhood and so very wealthy! HOLY FUCKEN MOLLY that was most poisonous advice they could give us ,Dot was a totally working class lower middle income neighborhood and that fat asshole was everything we did not want to be except the rich part ! Watching him over the years shriveled my nuts thinking he was one of us ! But you know what fuck him and his wealth he was nothing like us he had no sense of community or respect for others! We were the wealthiest ones !
Respectfully, I disagree that telling people to go back to their original country is bad. It's good to highlight do as I say not as I do hypocrites.
I never talk like that to people. It's just the way I feel about people that use America to get wealthy, yet turn around and spit on her. I'm actually a nice person lol. The casino industry is slimy. I live in Vegas. That's how he made his money. A few big shots here going down for money laundering. I'm sure Sheldon's hands weren't clean either. His allegiance was always to Israel anyway. He was just born here. So now we deal with the wife who isn't that old.
I am reading a defensive quasi-hysteria here.
The focus is not on what Biden has accomplished during his time in office. Sure, he has been doing a good job!
Does that mean he is able to carry that forward?
He has held alarmingly few press conferences. His exposures to the public are few and brief. Nobody here is “attacking” Biden. Some of us doubt that he can deliver an effective campaign against Trump.
It is wishful thinking that independents, disaffected Dems, double-haters and younger voters are going to magically come to their senses and vote Joe.
We need them if we will defeat Trump. Biden Zealots are not sufficient to secure reelection.
We are also facing foreign interference and outrageous voter suppression. We need every possible Never Trump vote. I worry that a Parkinsonian-seeming gentleman has what it takes to campaign nonstop to override these challenges.
ALL of my acquaintances will be voting for Joe! I’ll take an honest hardworking old man any day over the convicted felon. Biden is working hard for all of us, let him keep going.
Are you a neurologist? No? And even if you were, you feel comfortable diagnosing Joe Biden from the distance of the Internet?
“Biden Zealots”? Really? So, supporting our effective, experienced president, who for 3 1/2 years has proved he can deliver, makes voters who still support him “zealots”? I see what you’re trying to do there. How about grow the fuck up and get with the program. Let’s don’t even go into how nearly-impossible it would be at this point to simply replace him. You’re with Biden, or you’re contributing to Trump’s return.
So, if he can't carry it forward, we have a Vice President who will. That's how this works!
Have you been watching what ELSE Biden has been doing the last few weeks?
Clearly not, or you would never spew that kind of NeoLib drivel.
Point is Biden requested this debate and 50 million people saw it. I know people like my wife, who barely follows any of this, just saw a bewildered old man. People have to see this through the eyes of others. Democrats alone are not going to reelect Biden over Benedict Donald, aka Felon 45. Time for action.
Your "action" is you running off a cliff like lemmings (so the myth goes) by some NeoLib Dems and the Mainstream Media, whose corporate masters would sell out all of us for Trump's tax cuts.
Tell me who you would replace Biden with who stands any better chance of beating Donald Trump, especially with less than four months left to go.
I suspect you have fantasies of Bob&Weave Kennedy, or worse the woman who GAVE us "President Trump", Hillary Rodham Clinton, swooping in and saving the day for you. Even Drooling Donnie would make those two look like roadkill—but Biden? Scares the shit out of him—that's why he's so eager to see Biden go away!
I gave up on msnbc, cnn (yuck), NYT and WaPo. The BBC, Heather Cox Richardson and Meidas Touch are about it b
Deborah-I agree. The leftover Adelson can take her Fascist BS and leave the country. She is supporting sedition and lies through ownership of media sources. Her media should be declared a terrorist organization and treated as such. She is DIRECTLY responsible for endangering all people opposed to the Cult of trump. A felon-rapist-seditionist supporter should receive no amount of respectful treatment but face consequences!
I am so tired of screaming at the talking no nothings on tv that I’m reading books, and my Substack scribes. And her voice ( you know who I’m talking about), to the moon, Alice, you’re old too.
That is precisely what I am doing. I fear I was dangerously close to throwing rocks at my television. Fauci’s new book is awesome!
X10000000000000 yes
Yesterday on Twitter it was a shit show. Journalists who I’ve followed for a long time were getting on the Biden Should Drop Out Train. That also included Rob Reiner. I was shocked!!
I went off on all of them and then blocked them. WTAF is wrong with these people⁉️
They were always chickenshits.
Who now run around like chickens with their heads cut off.
Ladies and Gentlemen? The Democratic Party is back to being a circular firing squad!
As Jeff pointed out, 98.2% of the House Democrats are voting for President Biden, only 6 of them are calling for him to step aside.
The people who pissed me of the most are the supposed journalists on the left who are calling for Biden to step aside and celebrities like Rob Reiner and Stephen King.
Why do you think all of those people arrived at that conclusion?
"Treason Weasel"? That's a great term!
Just Want You To Know...I'm Stealing That:
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DsnP56OWkAABdt-.jpg:large
YES. EXACTLY!!! Thank you!
And what’s with the old rich white guys telling Joe to drop out? Yesterday Rob Reiner. Today Stephen King. I guess they don’t need to worry about having no social security income like so many of us do.
I blocked Rob Reiner on Twitter. I just don't understand why these comments are being made by Dems. What is the end game? Do they want to see Trump elected? If there's any time to circle the wagons, it's now. GOP sure does it. Very disappointed in their lack of foresight about making sure Biden wins the race. When Biden wins, I hope these 2 slink right back under the rock that they came from. No excuse to open your mouth now. If you don't have anything positive to say about Biden, STFU. Run your mouth after the election.
Unbelievable! I called Angie Craig's office this morning. I was pissed off. I told them the GQP will follow their rapist to the grave and you guys are eating Biden for lunch. WTF! What part of they want Democrats dead don't you fucking people understand. I said a lot of things.
BTW, all MSM's CEOs have donated to King Shitpants campaign. I've tried to send emails to CNN. However, they keep saying, they failed. What's up with that? Call your people, call the media.
Also there will be a ANTI-PROJECT 2025 rally in Times Square Saturday July 27th at 7 pm. We need these all over the country. Britain and France did it. Now it's our turn to show up for our fragile democracy.
Lisa59, I used to live in MN and was also livid when I heard about Angie Craig. Did she forget the Al Franken fiasco!?
Sounds like it.
Excellent News!!! Let's get this all over social media, contact MSM constantly to cover this event!
And did you see the comment made by Elmo this morning about Stephen King?
“Even Stephen King is voting for Trump!”
He’s such a fucking idiot
What?????? The. Hell??
“Joe Biden has been a fine president, but it’s time for him - in the interests of the America he so clearly loves - to announce he will not run for re-election.”
Stephen King’s twitter post from 6:36am this morning.
And the idiot Elmo immediately posted back - incorrectly I hope - that King is voting for trump.
Elmo is a (very rich) arrested-adolescence troll. He's rubbing in his weird, adolescent-like thrill of 'owning the libs' to imply that a well known liberal thinks Biden's chances are poor right now. No, Stephen King is as concerned with beating trump as anyone here is, and Elon is trying to get a few million Xitter "likes".
This makes me smh
Steven King is NOT voting for Trump.
Steve King is NOT voting for Trump
He ain't been right since he got hit by that car a few years ago, but that is no excuse to be rude and 2 faced
Deborah 🎯 We are fighting Fascism and have an incumbent who has accomplished a lot for this country. He has a great administration. After we get a bullet proof congress and re-elect our president, then we can make further demands. These dumb asses acting like we will all come together and agree on a new candidate at 11th hour is deluded!
I think they're in favor of a Dem in the WH on 1-21-25-- and they see that Biden is doing even worse in the polls than he was before the debate.
To be clear, I'm not supporting or excusing what they're doing, but I think their intentions are good. No matter how much we loyalists support him, we CANNOT ignore that he was already a very unpopular president (which is ridiculous, but US voters are under-informed or misinformed) -- and we cannot force others to see reality and vote for Biden rather than scump, or vote for Biden rather than stay home (which is basically a vote for scump).
This is an incredibly scary time, made scarier by the debate having shown that Biden has definitely deteriorated. I'm 100% behind him; I'll vote for him; I'll tell any doubters about all that he has accomplished during his incredibly productive presidency, and that I have faith in his ability to lead just as well for another four years; but I'm not fooling myself about his having become noticeably weaker, less articulate, and less energetic in even the past four years (watch vids of him from the 2020 campaign).
I'm done being polite.
Shut the fuck up about "poor old deteriorating" Joe. Your "both sideism" is exceptionally irritating and all you do is wear the rest of us down with your mealy mouth criticism and "I'll still support Joe but he's SO FUCKING OLD... "
I'd like to see you run the fucking country at 81.
Why aren't you talking about lldf and his moronic statements and grotesque, rapist, lying ass ????? Huh????? Nothing to say...? 🙄😕🤬🤷♀️
Thank you.
I'm sick and tired of these cowardly "Biden Must Go!" jackasses who are HANDING the election to Dear Leader Trump.
If Joe decides to go, and he might, then our attention and support has to go 100% behind pushing for Kamala. It's out of our hands, his decision, being upset ain't gonna change it. I prefer he continues, and I support him completely, and I agree that all this commentary about it is very distracting, but the reporting is showing he's listening to many,many Democratic party insiders. Just be prepared, that's all I've got to say.
So how does coming out and publicly bashing Biden in the polls, help Biden get elected? Sorry I fail to see the connection. I don't agree that Biden has been very unpopular. He's no Obama, but the nasty stuff you hear about him is coming from the GOP as usual. As far as Biden's age showing, where's the talk about Trump? He's almost the same age, has shown signs of deteriorating the last few years too. It's utterly unrealistic to expect an 80 year old plus person to be the same person they were 10 years ago. I don't feel that Trump voters aren't realistic - they are for the most part, racist or want fascism. It's not an issue of being uninformed. They're in a cult. You don't educate people like that. You keep voting them out until they're a minority that's talked about in hushed tones. Your post is pretty down on Biden. Just my opinion. We already know all of this. This is about a criminal, sociopath who will ruin this country versus a candidate that will not. Period. Doesn't matter how old they are at this point. My choice would not be to have people I would have gone to high school with running for president, but you play the hand you're dealt. I would be surprised if either candidate finished out their term. Either hand it over to their VP for mental/physical incapacity or death.
You've earned my subscription.
I get what you're saying. Biden should have passed the torch, but obviously he didn't. So here we are. Why is this ok for Republicans? Reagan had Alzheimer's his last term and they covered his ass. And they support Agent Orange's ignorant ass. Leonard Leo and his alt-right American Oligarchs have spent millions of dollars to divide us. This is their game. We don't play it very well.
They sure did cover Ronnie, didn't they? He had it long before we knew publicly that he did. He ought to be glad he wasn't a Dem. Some Dems would have been out there saying that he should step down and let his VP take over. The media also was different then. They covered up JFK's affairs and his Addison's Disease. Never heard a word about any of that back in the day. I'm old enough to remember when so many things/people were kept in the closet. Transparency is a good thing, but it's gone wild today into trash media, lies and ridiculousness. It started with the internet. And got truly toxic with social media., cable "news" and pundits. Years ago, you had 30 minutes of national/world news at dinnertime by non-controversial newscasters. It wasn't opinion news, it was factual news for the most part. How I long for those days.
Ruth should have passed the torch too, and look where we are now with the SC. Same with Feinstein and Grandpa Grassley. I'm not in a position of power, but what is it about power that people just can't seem to let go even when they should be in a nursing home instead? The Dems are just as guilty as the GOP on this issue. That's why there should be NO appointments for life for anything and age limits on candidates and term limits.
Yep - and now we could have Ruth Bader Biden.
As was said today, the choice between Trump and Biden is like the choice between National Suicide and Russian Roulette.
Agree!!!!! Nobody can convince me that someone in their 80’s can function physically and as an executive as well as they did 20 years prior. We are talking president of this country, not a family doctor or favorite teacher. Even then: it is healthy to respect the elders and welcome “fresh energy” and new insights.
And! Those annoying $$-begging texts that start with “Folks!!” They go straight to the trash. Whoever is writing for Uncle Joe should stop faking his “voice” by using “old-persons” words
If and when the Dems get complete control of the government again, they need to pass age limits for all elected officials and term limits. We wouldn't be having this conversation if we had such laws in place. No only is there worry about dementia in older candidates, their ideas may not be as progressive as they should be. I'm a Boomer and I know I cling to much of the way we used to do things, while my millennial son has more modern ways and ideas. Especially technology.
Right Lisa… the no age limit was valid when people did not live to their 70’s and well beyond
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Dee You’re being lead by right wing talk.
Fully and totally agree with you Dee. This community is not wavering; we will vote for Biden because he is not Trump.
My anxiety is for the millions of others who are undecided, or double-haters and youth —- many will simply not vote or only vote down ballot
Hit them where they live boycott their movies and books and then tell them why.
Bingo! They can afford the expensive seats at the Colosseum and view this as entertainment while this is real life for the rest of us in the pit.
Screw them and take "working man" Michael Moore with them.
I will see that, and raise you one Bill Maher.
You can have Bill Maher! Haven’t watched him for years.
I respectfully, and strongly, disagree. There is zero reason to think that any left-leaning arts people (Reiner, King, etc.) want scump to win. There is no way that they want to live in an autocracy, or that they want to subject others to that -- their work shows that they value humanity. I think it's more accurate to say that they're just as serious and committed as is Jeff, for ex., even though they're taking a different approach.
I implore you not to let your anger lead you into inaccurate black-or-white thinking, or lead you into seeing them as the enemy because they support a different solution than you do. To do so is to play into "Dems in Disarray," and we can't afford that right now. If I've offended you, I apologize -- not my intention. Just hoping you'll see that we're all on the same side -- we want to keep a Dem in the WH -- even as some people have differing views on how to accomplish that.
Dee, I respect your opinion. But please explain to me (and no one has yet) how bashing Biden publicly in any way helps his candidacy? What is the strategy beind this? The GOP goes after it like a dog after a bone. It just gives them more justification to say Biden is too old. Say what you want behind closed doors, but what happened to a unified front about this? That's why I am asking for an explanation because I sure don't understand that logic. I no longer listen to Maher or Moore. I hope that after Biden wins, that we don't forget that they tried to aid the enemy.
With you all the way Dee. 100%
Are we supposed to pledge OUR fealty to a “Dear Leader” and fall in line behind a a truly good person who does not have what is required to win by a significant margin?
It will take a real margin to offset the screaming and raging that will absolutely happen if Biden squeaks out a win.
Every pony y'all want has already left the field. There is no way to change the ticket at this point, legally, unless OHJB himself decides to step down and announces it (and the RW is already teeing up the lawsuits to prevent anyone else from going on the planned state ballots) or Biden dies. The Ds have to tell Ohio that Biden is the guy at the top of the ticket on August 7th to avoid disaster there. The money legally belongs to the Biden/Harris ticket. The staff and supplies belong to Biden, largely, not Kamala. Giving her less than three months to transition is not enough time. The MSM will go after her even harder in that time. And the VP pick. And it will have to be Kamala, otherwise the war chest loses ALL of its money back to the donors and the newly anointed will have to start from zero just a few months before the election that will end our country if we don't unite in time.
.
Maybe you weren't alive in 1968 or 1972? A Dems in disarray political convention is exactly what the Trump team is hoping for--anything to take the voters' attention off of how terrible Trump is and how horrific Project 2025 is. Anything that will sow doubt and confusion in the minds of voters. Chaos helps the Rs enormously. (Have you printed your copy of Project 2025 yet? Because no one should be surprised if it disappears from the Heritage Foundation's site because of pressure from the Rs, who are trying to run away from it as fast as they can.)
.
Biden isn't going anywhere, and Kamala supports him. Please stop listening to the polls (the only poll that truly matters is on election day), the MSM, and the disingenuous. There will be time to hold the D's feet to the fire after the election. Every time doubt is sown about Biden, Putin gets a tingle in his boxers. Maybe listen to people who aren't white? Put pressure on the pundits to talk about how Trump is unfit to be President and seems to be missing from the campaign trail. Vote BLUE up and down the ballot. DON'T GIVE UP THE SHIP
I gave him up in 2016. Entirely
Michael Moore also
Or Medicare or roads or schools or hospitals or doctors, or incomes, or ….
WTF
The president’s campaign is in discussions for him to drop out as a racial matter, saying that elitist, out-of-touch, white liberals want him to step down while black and minority voters want him to stay.
ELITISTS OUT-OF-TOUCH
I’m white & I want him to stay & fight.
Oh not so - not last time I checked. Maybe some idiots in congress but no one with sense who ever worked for a living
Have to ask yourself is it you, or why ALL of these disparate people are coming to a different conclusion than you are. I am voting against Trump regardless, but I want a younger candidate that highlights how low energy Dementia Don is. Biden will be 30 years older at Inauguration than Clinton/Obama and W were. Trump is equally old. We need to turn not only trump's criminal treason and grifting into a liability, but also his dementia and uninformed BS.
It's too late to get a younger candidate. That horse already left the gate. Besides, if something happens to Biden, he has a much younger, capable VP in the wings. Kamala isn't 80. So actually, we will really be voting for the VP picks for president since odds are pretty good that neither candidate will be around in 2028. Either mentally or physically unable to do the job or has died. If Dems are so upset about Biden's age, then the first thing they need to do is pass age limits when they get control of Congress. Both parties are guilty of letting this issue go. Reagan's been gone since 1988, plenty of time to pass this law since it's been known for decades that he had Alzheimer's while in office. Both parties are greedy for power.
Perhaps you’ve already seen this VERY RECENT headline?......
“Surprise win for French leftwing alliance keeps far right from power”
That headline proves my point……..about “polls”…….
It is absolutely ridiculous and absurd to place any credence on polls. When you compare the number of people who participated in a poll (for most polls, less than 2,500 people) to the number of registered voters in the United States of America (over 160 million people) the results of a poll, any poll, are total bullshit. Bullshit that no one should be concerned about. Add to that the fact that Democrats were asked not to participate in any polls. Because of that, poll results that show Liar, Fraud, Con, Scumbag, Racist, Sex-Abuser, Traitor, America’s Disgrace, Piece of Shit, Wannabe-Dictator Trump leading President Joseph R. Biden, Jr are nothing but fascist propaganda.
President Biden is, for a second time, going to crush and flush scumbag Trump in the upcoming November election. CRUSH and FLUSH piece-of-shit Trump! Scumbag Trump has zero chance of ever being President again.
MAGAcultists who think that “undecided voters” are going to vote for Scumbag Trump because President Biden stuttered and fumbled through one debate are total fucking idiots. Given a choice between voting for an older person (President Biden) and person who is a fraud, a con, a convicted felon, a traitor, a fascist, a racist, Putin’s puppet and scumbag piece of shit (Fraud Trump), who lies every time he opens his disgusting fucking mouth, “undecided voters” will vote for President Biden.
REGISTER TO VOTE!
VOTE ONLY FOR DEMOCRATS!
2016 polls promised we'd have a President Hillary Clinton.
Latest post-debate polls show Biden up in Michigan by 5% and 6% and in Wisconsin by 3% and 2%.
There are entire generations of the voting public that DO NOT PICK UP THEIR PHONE. How is any poll indicative of how the vote will go?
The 2016 Polls did not factor in James Comey's blunder of re-opening the email case against Hillary! THAT's what handed the election to Trump!
👏👏👏👏
The French Left and Center believed their polls, and several normally stubborn pols with one “L” stepped aside for the greater good. Recognition and selfless corrective action were required for victory.
They most certainly did NOT deny the painful reality learned from polling, they acknowledged it fully and took bold corrective action. “The polls are wrong and should be ignored” is precisely the wrong take on what happened in France.
The Dumpster is also old and is clearly demented.
Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face! Canceled my NYT subscription today. Signed up for AP breaking news alerts so I will know the second TFG drops dead.
Soon we hope!
I cancelled mine weeks ago, and told them it was because of their anti Biden coverage
Me too. I told them they are a threat to democracy.
Just did the same.
Can't be soon enough!
Sharky McDoughboy! 😂😂. Comer Fudd is SUCH a waste of air. JFC-give up. American politics is such an embarrassment. I’ve been encouraging emails to the NYT to express our concerns over the biased reporting. Some say it won’t do any good. I’m not just gonna roll over and do nothing. 🙄. And Dems-PLEASE get your heads out of your asses. Improve your messaging! I’m exhausted.
Me too!
I’m writing editorials@nytimes.com daily.

We are an embarrassment. NATO countries are freaking the fuck out over another fuckwad win. They know what's coming. 😱
Hi. Just checking the email address you've been using. Per NYT website, EDITORIAL (no S):
To contact the Editorial Page editor, email editorial@nytimes.com.
We could play it safe and use both; I just sent a message to both and didn't get a bounceback, so there's no way to know whether both addresses are valid, whether both are invalid, or whether one (and which one) is valid.
https://help.nytimes.com/hc/en-us/articles/115014925288-Submit-a-Letter-to-The-Editor (under Contact Other Teams)
Sure. Using both is a great idea. I got this address from their contact us page… so it better work! 🤣
Susan: Dems have heads increasingly far up their rear ends
They sure seem to! 🙄
Jeff, if you didn't express the disgust and rage I feel with absolute verbal precision, I'd have to do it myself, and I don't have the energy. So thank you. I love your guts. The other people whose Substacks I read say the same thing, if more politely. (Joyce Vance, Robert Hubbell, Lucian Truscott). Biden made a surprise call to Morning Joe this a.m. and said if Democrats think someone else would be better, then challenge him. Run against him at the convention. I predict the response will be crickets. Heather Cox Richardson says the noise will die down when it's clear that Biden is not quitting.
HCR is a clear-eyed historian who knows stuff. I never miss her posts.
Did you catch her on Al Franken’s Sunday You Tube show? https://youtu.be/GF994UVlFis?si=gVLarCX__SlRGK6R
This is the link if you missed it.
Did you hear from Al Franken was saying about Biden? I turned this off.
Hey thanks for this link-I want to hear this! ✌️
Won’t it be fuckin’ hilarious when the Turd Reich shuts down the free press and all these turd-promoting assholes are out on the street unemployed—or in prison or worse?!?!
That's what I keep screaming every day.
I've said that over and over and over. CNN, MSNBC, Washington Post, New York Times, and possibly even Fox News will be gone not very long after they're in power. And if not gone altogether, then under so much government scrutiny they'll effectively be gone.
And yet they just won't open their eyes and see that. They think they'll be protected by the First Amendment, but the Fascisticons will find a way around that.
One of the points of Project 2025 is to suspend the Constitution, so no one will have any protection whatsoever.
They refuse to acknowledge that there will be no more First Amendment if Donnie slithers back into the WH.
They'll still have jobs; it's just that they'll be employed writing what the Dumpy administration and Project 2025 tell them to. Not terribly different from now.
Sinclair Broadcasting is buying up every news outlet they can get their hands on. There news sounds like the Handmaid's Tale.
Thanks, I’ve been saying the same thing for weeks. The journalists are the first to be arrested in a dictatorship.
“Sharkey McDoughboy” ranks among your finest work.
Was just gonna write that! lol
"But her emails"
"But the debate"
Classic pattern here. Did everyone see Jasmine Crockett's post?
If Dems found half as much energy to attack MAGA, the real threat, then
we'd be good.
For all the geniuses out there who think someone else would be better,
1) explain to me who it is,
2) how they get on the ballot in all 50 states,
3) how they get the money and apparatus together to get this done in 4
months (the over 100 million Biden has on hand doesn't transfer)
4) how we explain that a random person has been selected... subverting
the votes that were casts, because of bad polls.
Dems spend all their time seeking perfection, while Republicans focus
on their disastrous agenda & could care less so long as they rig the
system in their favor!
USE YOUR ENERGY ADDRESSING PROJECT 2025 & the fact that this
Supreme Court has laid the foundation to finalize the full destruction of
our democracy!
5:22 PM • Jul 2. 2024
Yes! That needs to be shouted from the rooftops
I'm old, 77, a woman and I vote--in all elections. I would vote for a bedpost rather than an orange turd. I cancelled my subscription to NYT and signed up for more substack writers. The media do want that OT to win--more chaos equals more clicks. I want democracy to win.
Biden says he’s good to go——so what the hell is all the confusion about?! He’s doing a great job- so dems better get their shit together soon!!!
Maybe you're young enough, or lucky enough, not to have watched a parent, aunt, uncle, or grandparent decline -- but as someone who has watched many relatives decline (among them my mother, for whom I was the live-in caregiver), I can tell you that the person in decline does *not* have an accurate sense of their abilities, so Biden's saying that he's good to go is largely meaningless.
To be clear: I support and will vote for Biden in 2024, as I did in 2020. I have 100% faith in his ability to assemble a cabinet that will shore him up when that's needed. But I'm not kidding myself about the obvious signs of deterioration -- you need only watch some vids of him in 2020 to see a very different energy level and an ability to communicate clearly -- and no one else should, either. Keeping our heads in the sand means that we can't quickly come up with a good alternative, should one be needed.
Our goal is to keep a Dem in the WH -- and a lot of Americans think that Biden is impaired and should not be elected. We can't pretend that lot of people believe otherwise! We can't pretend that our staunch faith in him will magically impel them to vote for him. Our solution doesn't have to be "replace him," but whichever solution we choose, it has to be based in *facts*.
Actually, I’m 71 and took care of both of my parents for 5 years before they passed. I watched Biden in Madison WI and he did a great job. My head is not in the sand-I am grateful for the people he has in his life and cabinet and clearly so is he. I do not think removing him at this point will win the election, thus my comment.
You are exactly right -I too watch relatives decline and pass throughout my life - my parrents (now deceased) were each the youngest of eight and what I saw on that stage (and I did go back and look at the 2020 debate) looked too familiar. I absolute hate Trump and wish Biden was not like this, but we MUST win.
The Democrats cannot win with just the Democratic Vote - same for Trump. He also needs independents and low information voters and the GQP will be running a confused looking Biden on a loop all the way till election. We need a younger candidate
And the dems should be running ads showing trump’s lies, rape accusations, racist remarks…….
totally - but the question is -via what medium? Young people don't vote as much and Old people watch Fox. I was hoping that was going to be the plan closer to the election as that is all the Low Information voters will make their vote based on. The GQP will be showing NON-STOP Adds of Biden looking dead or demented so they better have something way more juicy to Air on Truimp - like his relationship with Epstein and is abortion treachery, which he knows is a massive liability. Biden totally fucked up a question about abortion and steered the answer to an illegal alien killing a woman, handing Trump a gift from God.
THAT WAS POLITICAL MALPRACTICE and if you cannot function being tired, or having a cold or travelling, then the conclusion the world will make - regardless of all the cheerleading here - is that Biden does not have the mental and physical stamina to run the country. And we all know, it is NOT going to improve in the coming years. I think a lot of younger people are eager to see people born after Vietnam or the Gulf War (versus WWII) running for office
—-then they’d better figure it out!
I think that is what everyone is desperately hoping for and waiting patiently fo - but we are running out of time.
I'm ridin' with Biden.
And I’m low-riding with Biden! órale !
Booyah!! 👍
The St. Petersburg troll farms are pumping this bullshit narrative non stop since last Thursday. It makes me wonder who has Russian bank accounts. Quit peeing the fucking bed! (Are you listening Rob Reiner, Stephen King, Mark Warner,etc.) Don't do Tsar Vladimir's work for him!!😡😡
Don't forget Michael Moore.
Mr. 'I got rich from tech Smartypants" Warner needs to be primaried. He never defends the administration or 'mixes it up' with who he calls his friends. I didn't know he was passed over by Biden for VP...IF that's true. Does he think he's special? That pick would have been twice in a row a white male from Virginia was picked as VP....
👆
Good Morning Jeff, at this point we all know this movement is merely “active measures” promoted by the usual suspects attempting to disrupt our Democracy. We are in this for the long haul as our President is also. Enough with the bickering Dems…. Support our President, defeat fascism, defend Democracy. Have a great day fellow travelers.
Something is going on with the orange menace because the final version of that Project 25 post was definitely not him and his attention whore self isn’t out giving speeches.
Trump is wayyyy too stupid to even be able to properly spell 25. It was written by the Goebbels of his administration. Where has the disgusting blob been recently anyway? I've tried to avoid the sharks in Lake Mead as well as large batteries in the lake, but I need his guidance for more summer safety tips.
Somehow the GQP is keeping the mango moron under wraps while the Dems continue to argue among themselves. The DEMOCRATS need to get their shit together and get behind Joe Biden. Stop the infighting and continue the full court press against the fascist wannabe dictator!!
Here is the latest platform statement from the GQP Treason Weasel Cult about Dear Leader Felon 45, who they worship without question and was never required to debate the younger cnadidates in his own party. They are not about freedom or democracy - it is an CORONATION:
""Only President Trump can restore our economy, restore our southern border, and restore America's standing in the world," the two RNC leaders said in a joint statement. "His 2024 Republican Party Platform is a bold roadmap that will undo the devastating damage that Joe Biden's far-left policies have done to this country, power President Trump to a historic victory in November, and Make America Great Again."
I completely agree!!
