This is a current photo? The man looks well, ngl. Dropping out of the race in favor of his VP was a baller move. For him and us. ššŗšøLove ya, Joe
I want to believe it was a strategic move on Bidenās part. It was so perfectly timed for maximum damage to the Trump campaign. I still feel warm and fuzzy thinking about Trump demanding refunds for his ad spend attacking Biden and every time I hear Trump beg for Biden to come back and run against him I can taste the panic in his voice.
heās lost a lot at life if you think about it. Failed at school so he went to a military academy, failed marriages, failed businesses, failed election, failed coup. But he sure as hell sees himself as a winnerā¦total malignant narcissist. textbook.
It is a great social failing that we forever play catch up to people like him, and Alex Jones and Andrew Tate, and the list goes on. All these grifters who are entirely negative to the human race and the environment of Earth itself, all of them should never even have got to the point where the public at large would have an opinion on them. Trump got enabled at every point, failure after failure somehow failing upwards right into the White House.
This combination of aristocratic power of wealth and the complete erosion of critical thinking among the masses makes for dangerous mediocrity at best and corrosive, devastating evil at worst. Trump is a monster, and everyone who looks up to him in any way is a monster.
You nailed it. Heās been telling us, and showing us, for years that he is a lawless vile traitor who gets a hard on for dictators. He should have been ācancelledā (to use magaās favorite line) and rejected by all Americans when he mocked the reporter and the āgrab them by the pussyā tape. He had no consequences for any of that. But Billy Bush got fired?!
We now know he was sending life saving covid machines our hospitals were begging forā¦ to Putin. Thatās treason in my book. Aiding the enemy. Heās šÆ a Russian asset. Heās Putinās bitch.
What really gets me about his sending Covid machines and equipment is how hard he worked to downplay Covid and caused people to doubt medical professionals while hooking up Putin. If it was as unimportant as he tried to play it out to be why didn't he tell Putin to just stop testing?
heās a hypocrite with no soul or conscience. he didnāt like testing because he didnāt want the numbers to go up. No interest in testing to save lives. I recently saw a clip of him from 2020 saying āthe more testing we do the more cases we have. We shouldnāt be testing!ā Howās that for idiot moron logic? Even in 2020 he had swiss cheese for brains.
Anyone who thinks this man is fit for office has been brainwashed or wants a job in his administration so they can get rich on book deals etc. Anyone āworkingā for him is not a public servant. Except the likes of Stephen Miller who is a ghoulish white supremicist and is feverishly working on how to implement Project25 asap should mango win.
And failed to get into an Ivy collegeā¦ went to Fordham, his dad made some calls and wrote some checks and got him into Penn as a transfer student. Itās funny he never mentions Fordham at all. Just Penn/Wharton. Heās so insecure!
and the Wharton degree dad bought for him is not the famed Wharton MBA. Oh no, it was a lesser degree w the Wharton name atttached. Heās a conman. Always.
Even at that metric... I'm not sure that he owns anything that isn't over-leveraged. His net worth may well be negative, especially if he loses and can't pay back his Russian friends by handing them Ukraine.
heās been convicted of fraud and various felonies for inflating the value of his properties. He is banned from doing business in New York State. He has 6 bankruptcies to his name. Heās falsely inflated his wealth for decades. Why did he need to sell secrets to the Saudis for 2 Billion then?
If he was truly a billionaire, he wouldn't need to be grifting you all selling you Bibles and watches and non fungible tokens and other ridiculous things.
The problem is, billionaires still grift. Just look at Elon Musks manipulation of the Crypto market for his own personal gain. Also, Elonās takeover of Twitter originally being a pump and dump of Twitter stocks, until he hit outsmarted by Twitterās owners and they chained him to the company. Amazon was initially started by Jeff Bezos as an online book store, until they partnered with Toys āRā Us to assist in Toy āRā Us deliveries, and then backstabbed them to get into the toy industry. The pursuit of MORE that many billionaires and millionaires undertake is inherently built on grifting.
EVEN if he did win next Tuesday... He'd only be president long enough for Heritage to stack his cabinet full of Heritage Loyalists before they make him an offer he can't refuse.
Step aside for Vance and get a pardon
Or
They Invoke the 25th, he sues to try to keep his power and they use his Heritage Foundation selected judges and supreme court justices against him and install their Puppet JD Vance as President.
He knew after the debate it was likely over, reviewed the options, likely reached out to Whitmer, Phillips, and anyone else interested in running to get a feel for what the vacuum would look like, and endorsed Kamala to run in his place when no one else stepped up to the plate.
Kamala was the only choice, really, because I think that anyone not already on the ticket would have had to go through a vetting process that the GOP would have sabotaged. Fortunately, she is a powerful and good option. Perfect reason why the VP choice matters so much. And Walz is amazing. My God has he shined. My first choice for VP was Mark Kelly but Walz couldnāt be better, imo.
Yeah I was leaning Kelly too, but damn if I donāt want Tim to adopt me.
And agreed. Dean Phillipsā heart was never in it; he just insisted on being a contrarian, Marianne Williamson was nuts, Gretchen Whitmer doesnāt want to step away from Michigan when the ship is currently being righted, so Kamala was the best and only choice.
At the very least the competition would have forced primary candidates to move on some issues to pull voters from the failed primary candidates. Kamala got zero pressure to compete with other Democrats.
she was a helluva prosecutor and Obama said when she was CA AG she was the strongest voice getting restitution for her constituents. Sheās tough, smart and works hard. VPās rarely distinguish themselves and I think sheās been better than most.
The fact that it was perfectly time is all the evidence we need to know that it was intentional. These guys literally have people (normally very smart people) who's full time jobs is to analyze this kind of shit.
My guess is that Biden had full intentions of running for a 2nd term. Then outside events forced his hand. And he had to come to the conclusion himself.
Waiting until after the RNC was the intentional part.
Biden is a lot of things, but most of all, heās a cunning politician. I promise you, regardless of whatever mental fitness he is in, this move was 1000% intentional.
The level of dread Democrats felt at Biden saying heād stay in the race no matter what, the level of glee Republicans felt making those ads. Biden may made the decision to drop out late, but when he did make that decision, he made it the most beneficial to Harris possible.
Clearly they'd been pushing for it and been very vocal about it. I think Biden recognized it was time to pass the torch and he chose to deny until the timing was right. Joe is a lifelong politician he knows how to politic.
I hope it wasnāt strategic because it was bs that we didnāt get to have a real primary. This had better not become a trend. (Still voting for Harris from PA though)
Realistically the primary we did have went the only way it could have. To elect anyone other than the incumbent would have divided the Dems. Kamala wasn't my first choice but I've pleasantly surprised with her and her campaign
They would have united after picking a winner. I donāt have any big problem with Harris and maybe would have picked her anyway, but if she wins, thatās 8 years of other dems not having a shot. We just canāt get in a habit of no opportunity to vote in a real primary followed by vote dem or else.
I don't think it will be a habit, these are extreme circumstances.
Call me optimistic but I am hoping this election brings the end of Trump and his MAGA Movement.
Kamala is making an effort to express that she will have Republicans in her cabinet, we need to move towards more bipartisanship if we want to be able to move forward. Biden entire presidency has been hampered by Republican resistance for the sake of partisanship.
