I was already exhausted after the last 24 hours I have personally had but this is working better than melatonin. I just like watching the commentary afterwords. Isn’t there a “wrap it up” person out there? No. But I mean…

Is it just me or when we were kids that the conventions mostly ended around 9:30 or 10 with about half an hour of commentary? Maybe I am remembering that wrong.

WTF does this mean? I’ve heard rumors about Biden’s depo audio that (1) the audio is debate sounding awful and (2) that the audio doesn’t match the transcripts which were published back in March by WaPo. I chalked all that up to conspiracy theory bullshit and just rumors. This doesn’t sound very good. Not at all. I don’t know how credible people here find Politico or the person Kyle that tweeted this. Just sharing it. -
Yacht rock. Which I get why he is subdued. But the lead in was Kid Rock/Dana White. And he sounds like he’s reading a nursery rhyme “And the Cheeto was victorious” to make someone fall asleep. Like it’s night night time voice.

It’s Trumpian or Dotardian party and most of them will do what he tells them to do. Pretty much. Thats my understanding of where Republican Party is, it is his party. -

You wouldn’t plead your case if you were Zelensky on the off chance that Trump Is elected? You wouldn’t try to talk to him? Open a dialogue? We can hate Trump all we want but if he is elected it doesn’t help Zelensky to not have some kind of dialogue with Trump just in case. other leaders around the world are watching all this and thinking the same. Many I’m sure are talking to or have talked to Kamala too. Or will be talking to whomever comes out of the convention as nominee for President. You have to open a dialogue and plead your case. I don’t see that as Zelensky doing something wrong. Other world leaders already have a dialogue with Trump bc he was President or bc he was shot. -

Katzneberg allegedly met with Biden in Nevada yesterday before the Covid and told him the money is drying up. And it was bad. K is his buddy. He wasn’t telling him like the politicians to drop out bc they worry about their own ticket. He wasn’t pointing to polls. That don’t mean shit this far out. He was saying we are fucked because there is no more money. -

I’ve been there with my grandmother and aunt. I don’t want to use the word fortunate but with my grandmother’s situation my grandfather passed before her. She was able to still live at home and my aunt and uncle lived just down the road. When she started declining she fought any discussion for the next stages of her life. One day she got on a ladder and fell and broke her arm which gave us the ability to put her “in the home” to recover while she thought it was temporary. By the time a month had passed she had adjusted in the Alzheimer’s home. No one knows what is wrong with Joe but I found his defiance to take a simple fucking MOCA test concerning. It’s a simple test. It should be given to anyone over 65 to make sure they don’t have dementia or Alzheimer’s or a host of other things that present that way. There are treatments and trials and radical diet changes to slow the spread of it and to help the person. I pray privately that he has been diagnosed and they are treating him bc he is a person. First and foremost. My 65 year old aunt failed that MOCA test badly. And the decline after the diagnosis was swift and merciless. -

I am not in the market/trading what not but I guess this data is meant to show people feel like the news of Biden stepping aside is accurate. -

Yes. I would feel hugely betrayed. they basically put Kamala in witsec the last 4 years. And when it’s time to run again and have a primary Biden did not pass the torch as he said he would do. And not only that was largely absent from public eye not using the WH as the best home court advantage to campaign from. then when 3 weeks (a fucking lifetime in politics if a story doesn’t die in 10 days) have rolled by with everyone pretty much encouraging him to drop out he rolls to Delaware with Covid becoming more insulated and it is alleged he won’t endorse her after pandering to the black base in desperation after the wheels came off the campaign. That will be his legacy. And that’s ugly. -

I didn’t figure he would resign. But he still has to run the country. If he’s not going to endorse Kamala THOUGH thats an ugly way to end it for him and the party. Especially after going to BET and NAACP in the last few days and asking for their support telling them what all he has done for them. he will be around the WH as a bitter reminder. Hey I would be bitter too. But goddamn it, Joe, you shouldn’t have run again. He really is living up to Obama’s alleged statement. Speaking to a fellow Democrat about Joe Biden being the party’s nominee in 2020, Obama famously warned, “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f–k things up.” -

Thanks! Home from hospital. Won’t “Nicole” the thread by detailing it with my stuff. Damnit Bob Newhart died. If Biden is truly dug in and will not step aside the money will dry up. The leaders might be forced to 25th him. I can’t think of what else will work if he doesn’t step aside. It’s depressing and infuriating. He should not have run for a second term. Campaigning from the WH is a huge advantage and his inner circle of dipshits kept him from the press and everyone else for a year and 1/2. Last cabinet meeting 2023. Same for last solo presser (October and November respectively.) that’s malpractice as has been pointed out. He had the best advantage. Home court advantage: the WH! and most of us outside of the SoTU hadn’t seen his ass all year. Kamala or another candidate could have used that advantage and it was squandered. i blame him. And if he’s not to blame bc of mental decline I blame his inner circle. They took in tons of money (Trump raises money for both parties) and now it’s running out. I don’t care if the Dem convention is on zoom or only fans. Duck a fuck. Sorry tired. Will leave yall to fixing this mess and will vote for whoever comes out of it. -

I get why everyone is upset. when I am upset I want someone to be mad at and blame. Replace upset with livid, anxious, angry whatever you want. Had Joe passed the torch and not run again we aren’t facing the very real possibility of Trump winning again. The Dem leaders with this trickle down drip drip drip of defections to get Biden to step aside also helped to drastically dry up the money well. If he does step aside (I can’t see him stepping down as well) the real issue is the money injection from donors. this sucks. -

Now being seen at ER. At least I’m not in the waiting triage area. Cool. Getting an IV. so we went from Biden saying only the Lord could get him to leave race. then it was if he was shown he couldn’t win. now with BET interview: If I had some medical condition that emerged, if somebody, if doctors came to me and said, you got this problem and that problem,' Biden said in an interview with BET news. -

It’s the fact that stuff keeps getting leaked. Drip drip drip. Schiff says step down. Drip drip drip. Details of phone call leaked. Drip drip drip. It either has to be 100% effort to unite behind him or 100% to replace him. cool cool. Urgent care sending me to the ER. Fuck my life. -

I just wish if they would all do it at the same time or get behind him 100%. Stop with half measures. Now you have a leaked phone call with a group of Dems and Biden scolding Jason Crow Bronze Star recipient. I mean just fucking A—either everyone says step aside it at one time or they need to get behind him. im pissy. I’m at an urgent care for extreme pain on my right front lower side and wifi isn’t great. what Biden said to Crow in leaked call that happened on Saturday before assassination attempt: "I put NATO together. Name me a foreign leader who thinks I'm not the most effective leader in the world on foreign policy. Tell me! Tell me who the hell that is! Tell me who put NATO back together! Tell me who enlarged NATO, tell me who did the Pacific basin! Tell me who did something that you've never done with your Bronze Star like my son—and I'm proud of your leadership, but guess what, what's happening, we've got Korea and Japan working together, I put AUKUS together, anyway!" ————- Either everyone makes a unified front in telling him to step aside or they need a shut the fuck up. Repubs do not need to attack Joe when his own party is kicking him in dick hourly. -

Never take for granted any real nor perceived lead in the polls. A lot can happen. Talking about the future of the country and plans for a second term can help more than talking about past accomplishments. It seems like those in charge of Trump’s campaign have already accepted the possibility Biden won’t be the candidate. So they are ready to pivot. The Trump campaign has the luxury of criticizing the last four years to appeal to their base. Whether it’s Biden or not Dems need to pivot towards the plans for the future. Jmo. there is some disconnect between the voters being polled and Biden’s accomplishments the last four years. Or he wouldn’t have had a 37% approval rating going into the debate. so my question is: why do Dem party leaders keep kicking Biden in the dick at every turn? They are destroying their own candidate. Is the plan to just go ahead and get him nominated so the convention isn’t a mess and then strong arm him to step down in September? Because no attempts to get him to step down have been working. again all this is hypothetical. The last month has been crazy and anything can happen including Repubs getting over confident and imploding plus some crazy October surprise. But I do not understand the Dem strategy right now. You can’t attack Trump effectively while simultaneously attacking Biden giving Repubs more talking points. The repubs who might have gleefully tried to 25th Amendment Biden’s ass now aren’t really interested in helping take him down bc they’d rather face Biden. It’s a fucking mess. It doesn’t have to be that way. -

It really feels like upside down world but it’s really to advance AI. Which many think will make it upside down world. “Driving the news: Venture capital billionaires Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz each will make donations to former President Trump's election effort, Axios has learned. The "techno-optimists" Andreessen and Horowitz are following hot on the heels of Elon Musk's announcement that he would endorse Trump and form a PAC to aid his campaign. Between the lines: Andreessen Horowitz, the VC firm the pair co-founded in 2009, said late last year that its partners would begin making donations to political candidates they saw as "advancing technology." https://www.axios.com/2024/07/17/trump-andreessen-horowitz-tech-billionaires I think the simulation is just making up its own shit. Sarah Conner warned our asses and we wouldn’t listen. Just waiting on some new start up to be called SkyNetU or some shit. It doesn’t help that the Director of SS is blaming a sloped roof. Further proof the simulation is malfunctioning. -

Still like 15 weeks to go, the DNC and the October “surprise” but I took a picture of this screen. Sorry my CC blocked the top of the headline but it’s basically the four potential candidates polling ahead of Biden. The bottom headline is the concerning one obviously. -

Probably. I just remember the presser back then and recall how upset the press was. “Who was in charge when W was getting his ass scoped? Why wasn’t proper procedure followed? Why wasn’t the document signed?” They were lit up about it. I always thought a President is as good as the people the President chooses to be around them. Always thought it was largely a group effort for many of the Presidents in my lifetime. I just wish the people in that room would run for office sometimes -
I’m not a fan of predictable pep rallies for politics. But according to this article here are numbers for 2020 for both party and the estimate for Night one of RNC. Most people don’t watch tv anymore but these numbers all pale next to the debates. “Nielsen estimates 18.13 million viewers tuned in to the first night of the Republican National Convention, the company said in a Tuesday release. In 2020, the first day of the RNC saw approximately 12 million viewers, according to Nielsen. This does not reflect anyone who streamed it online. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/07/16/rnc-ratings-day-1/74432490007/ 2020 RNC 2020 RNC Day 4 - 14.7 2020 RNC Day 3 - 11.0 2020 RNC Day 2 - 12.2 2020 RNC Day 1 - 10.7 2020 DNC 2020 DNC Day 4 - 15.6 2020 DNC Day 3 - 14.6 2020 DNC Day 2 - 12.6 2020 DNC Day 1 - 12.7 The last night of the convention typically draws the biggest audience.

Sometimes I wish the competent capable people in the room handling stuff would run for office. but maybe being the traveling figurehead type meeting with world leaders and shaking hands is the reason they are in the room. It’s just not their thing. I do remember early in W’s presidency (pretty sure this was before 9/11) where he had a colonoscopy and the people around him forgot to have him sign that letter (forget what it’s called) ceding his authority for the timeframe of the procedure. And it was like a big deal at the presser with the reporters screaming “who was in charge for that time? Who the fuck was in charge?” And it was officially no one but people were “in charge.” -

It may not matter. Private and public attempts whether halfhearted or not to get Biden to step aside have not worked. The primary focus should be down ballot races and trying to control Congress. If The DNC has the virtual roll call Biden will be the nominee. “Some lawmakers are uneasy about the Democratic National Committee's plans to forge ahead with a virtual roll call vote to nominate Biden weeks before the Democratic convention. "People are back to being angry at Biden and a push to sign on to this letter is going around ... the 'replace Biden' movement is back," a House Democrat told Axios.” -
