The media salivation festival over the "Biden wants to get a little more sleep" thing is so fucking absurd. I'm about half his age and I need more damn sleep, too. WE ALL SHOULD BE GETTING MORE SLEEP. But they're acting like he's planning to start turning in at 4 in the afternoon.

The asshole wannabe emperor never worked a 16 hour day in his life. He spent more time on the links than he did in the Oval Office fucking up everything he could get his slimy hands on. Now our very deceitful press is drooling over reporting Biden's next stutter while the orange turd continues to have all of his endless fuck ups muffled. I'll take the sincere, honest, hard working guy any day over the worthless dumbshit felon who believes identifying a camel makes him a Rhodes scholar

What I don't get...is what do they think will happen if Donnie Diaperstench becomes King Fuckface I ?

Does MSM actually think that they will have free rein like the last time? That they'll be able to sit around and then critique and ring their hands about what horrible fuckery he's done now?

It will be too late for them...as well as the rest of the country. He'll probably order Seal Team 6 to go and shoot them while they're on the air, just to give everyone else a lesson.

This really isn't hyperbole! They're figuritively cutting their own throats and too stupid to figure it out!

And the Lamestream media bitched and moaned every time Obama played golf. Over a 4 year term, the # of times Barack played, you could count on your fingers. When 34 Times Convicted Felon Donny Dumpsterfired played what felt like every other day, crickets. I have a endless supply of contempt for our media. Not sure how we hold them accountable. Maybe bankrupt them all. Jeff Bezo's bad faith leadership is doing his best to drive subscriptions and accountability to zero. Another clueless billionaire, running his own space program.

We forget oh and look they have gray hair.. I started going gray at 18-19.. and as a hairstylist I’m letting my gray grow in.. oh it’ll make you look old or oh I could never do that.. well too damn bad.. I’m 56 I’m letting my gray hair grow out and I still rock 6 pack abs after birthing 4 kids.. with 2 of them deceased.. my ass is mostly in the northern hemisphere but wanting margaritas south of the border.. It’s not easy aging for anyone over a certain age but we all go thru it. Or I hope we live long enough to be able to go thru it.. but there’s this double fucking standard for women. And I’m so fucking tired of it. My hubby has a belly and I love his big belly.. he’s gray and his hair is thinning a bit and I love every thing about him .. and when I’m heated he makes me laugh.. he knows if he can get a giggle out of me all is well.. when he can’t he gets worried because I’m usually extremely happy. I’m Hawaiian I cruise along until I don’t.. but slamming other women for aging when they’re still too young to know a damn thing single with no children and thinking oh that will never be me.. and then actually tell you to sit down old lady.. oh fuck that bullshit.

The only reason I can get to bed reasonably early is due to my unreasonable 2.5 year old who has decided she will only sleep if we all do, so guess who is in bed by 9pm now?

The Reichstag fire was an arson attack on the Reichstag building, home of the German parliament in Berlin, on Monday, 27 February 1933, precisely four weeks after Adolf Hitler was sworn in as Chancellor of Germany. Marinus van der Lubbe, a Dutch council communist, was the alleged culprit; however, Hitler attributed the fire to Communist agitators. He used it as a pretext to claim that Communists were plotting against the German government, and induced President Paul von Hindenburg to issue the Reichstag Fire Decree suspending civil liberties, and pursue a "ruthless confrontation" with the Communists. This made the fire pivotal in the establishment of Nazi Germany.

Exactly! And by the way, it’s still up to the voters to accept responsibility for keeping what’s left of our democratic republic; not anyone else. So to those who want to cast blame elsewhere, that is a useless and wasteful pastime. We all know this President’s record of achievements.

Indeed, from Greg Olear's post this morning:

"The public figures calling loudest for Joe to step down are Never Trump Republicans, the Pod Save America douche-bros, obscure Democratic Congressmen, the founder of Netflix (which didn’t stream the Kavanaugh documentary), and the editorial boards of various newspapers, including the disgraced New York Times—which yesterday, on the fucking Fourth of July, ran a column by a radical Catholic weirdo calling for people to not vote."

I'm sure I'll be crucified given the tenor of these comments, but Tim Miller and many of the never Trumpers left their own party because they couldn't stand their 2016 candidate and are invested in making sure Trump never sees the Oval again. I know SO many people who were completely turned off by the debate and they had also seen and acknowledged his rapid aging before that (I live in a blue state and none of them are MAGAts or anything close). A big joke (that I hate btw) around my office is The Biden Shuffle. We can see it with our own eyes, we don't need the New York Times to tell us about it. Sure, maybe the debate was "a bad night" (talk about an understatement), but we're talking about another 4 years, not making it to the end of this term. He's aged like 20 years since 1/20/21. People are concerned about him making it to 2029, that's totally reasonable. All liberals/progressives, me included, I'm sure will vote dem no matter who it is. But all we need are a few thousand undecideds, independents, centrist dems and soft GOPers in a handful of states to switch to Trump or anti-vax Bobby or stay home and our democracy will pretty much be over. I enjoy my bodily autonomy thank you very much. We can disagree who the best person is to do that, but you all are just knee-jerk defending him and attacking anyone else who thinks an alternative is the only chance we have. Kamala definitely, but with a VP centrist like Josh Shapiro or Andy Beshear maybe. Don't forget, Biden promised before the 2020 election that he would be a 1-term president, he should have kept that promise and let someone else younger emerge from the primaries a year ago instead of his ego putting us in the position we're in now, at each other's throats.

His whole "I'm the only one who can beat Trump because I did it before" schtick is so disingenuous. He's aged a ton since then, he doesn't even look the same. After 4 years of a trump presidency, 73M still voted for him again. And we've watched Joe fumble and stumble since 2021, although it's definitely gotten worse. It's different now. I think it's his ego too, not only that he truly believes he can beat trump when no one else can. And Jill isn't doing him any favors. She had to help him off the debate stage. If she cared for our country she'd talk him into passing the torch to Kamala.

Sykes’ ain’t perfect, but he had the clearest eyed view, and had some serious mea culpas of his complicity in the throughline from Goldwater - Nixon - Reagan - both Bushes, and finally Trump culminating the descent into the cesspit that Republican politics has devolved to.

The biggest error that has continued with Biden’s campaign is that it hasn’t been using a brain trust/think tank of experts in these areas:cult intervention, dealing with sociopaths and malignant narcissists, social scientists, linguists, the top marketing strategists, most articulate film makes and writers, and the most forward thinkers who deal with fascism. If they had been consulting with this think tank they would have never agreed to a debate with a sociopathic pathological liar.

Totally ineffective and opens the door to the public being flooded with a torrent of lies. There really isn’t a good way to intervene in that situation and any one of us who has studied human behavior could have told them that.

He sounds breathy and hissy, and his mid-range vocal frequencies are de-emphasized. This level of variation isn't accidental. It needs to be externally investigated.”
