  1. After thinking about this a little more I think I am fine with Kamala being our next president. Just need to get over the whole being from Uganda thing. Happy Fourth of July!
  2. I am not sure Newsom can win being from California. The right will blanket the airwaves until election day with Newsom will turn your state into the hell hole that is CA with homeless people everywhere, crime everywhere, drag queens teaching your kids, etc... ( I love California so I don't personally believe any of that shit). They will flat out put lies out there, but I guarantee you it will scare the shit out of enough independents that they will vote for Trump. That is the biggest problem with Biden dropping out. Fox News and the right will just lie about whomever becomes the nominee and unfortunately, they will win the propaganda battle.
  3. This will lead to a lot of MAGA channeling their inner Tanner from The Bad News Bears. Not sure if appropriate to post the video.
  4. I think you just called me old! Well sir, I get all my news from Surlyhorns.
  5. The article below was from a few years ago but CNN has definitely changed since then. What Js1 said above is absolutely correct, sadly. Over the last week since the first presidential debate it seems like someone high up said, “we need to get Biden to step down because then we can run with a bunch of stories about that and who his replacement will be and drive ratings”. They don’t seem to do stories about Trump being a raving lunatic and kind of just omit those from the broadcast similar to what Fox News does. https://www.vox.com/2022/8/26/23322761/cnn-john-malone-david-zaslav-chris-licht-brian-stelter-fox-peter-kafka-column
  6. He should promise any man that votes for him that. He would win in a landslide.
  7. You forgot to mention Oprah. I believe she is next in line after Biden.
  8. I would argue that Biden's number is under 40% not because of the job he is doing or the state of the country but because the right-wing media is so strong with their propaganda that they have scared half the country into believing their country is shit and their lives are terrible. Bush Sr and Carter actually dealt with economic issues like a recession that caused many of their low polling numbers. Trumps is low because he was a fucking terrible President, and it should actually be lower. I bet most of the people voting and giving Biden a low approval rating are actually doing really well in the world like have a good job, nice house, friends and family, going on vacations and own all the toys they want yet when asked about the country they tell the pollsters its terrible (because Fox News told them it is).
  9. If she keeps all the blue states blue and guarantees MI, WI and PA I am good with it.
  10. This short clip from a Mel Brooks movie should give you your answer on the homeless and others.
  11. This is a great analogy. We don't want the old Fire Marshall that is fumbling with the fire hose, but the other choice is to make the Fire Marshall the guy that lit the fucking building on fire and chanted let's burn this motherfucker to the ground and when we are done let's light all the rest of the buildings on fire also. I choose the old guy and hope that he hires some firemen that no what the fuck they are doing, but that's just me. Yes, I get this about switching Biden out but that isn't going to happen in my opinion for reasons already stated.
  12. After the debate I thought it best to remove Biden and Kamala from the ticket and get some younger centrist Dems on the ticket. I am now honestly in a different mindset. They need to keep Biden on the ticket and give him Adderall or any other stimulants anytime he is in the public. HIs campaign staff are also dumb to float the "had a cold" stuff. He should come out tomorrow and say it wasn't a cold, but he has some nasty stomach virus the day before with a fever and explosive diarrhea and he was up for 24 hours causing him to feel like shit at the debate and was pretty out of it. Something pretty much everyone has been through at one time or another and understands and would say, "oh, now I get why he looked terrible". Hell, if they went with the cold idea, he should have said he had a cold and took way too much cough medicine and Benadryl and it caused him to look drugged, but he is great now. Basically, lie like the other side does.
  13. If Trump is my other choice then yes.
  14. That is correct but seniors won't see it that way. They have been on those plans and getting those benefits and when their benefits get worse, they will blame somebody. The somebody will be Biden and the right will make sure they know who to blame. I would say the difference is one is talking about taking their benefits and the other is a real-world experience they will be having. Big difference.
  15. 35%? At least 50% of this country would believe that shit. Now tell me more about these windmill jets. I am quite intrigued by this.
  16. I will give you a big headwind that will hurt Biden right before the election, Medicare and to be specific Medicare Advantage. Millions of seniors are on those plans all over the country and pretty much all of those companies that offer these plans (United Healthcare, Aetna, Humana, etc....) are going to make benefits much worse and pull out of areas because the federal government cut their payments. I guarantee you will have the right wing (rightly or wrongly) come October telling seniors "Look at what the Democrats are doing to your Medicare? They are cutting your benefits and if we get elected, we will give you all those back plus a lot more stuff so vote for us." Seniors that are democrats want democracy, but they also want their dental plans, free meals, rides to the doctor and all those other benefits more. Just wait and watch.
  17. One key thing to remember is that none of the media outlets can let Trump runaway with the election. Same for Biden. Needs to be close so they can sell ad revenue for their networks and the sheep in this country keep watching.
  18. Which one is the convicted felon in this scenario?
  19. The people in this country are too stupid to understand what you said. They look at inflation simply through the lens of my eggs are more expensive now than they were 4 years ago and it’s all the current presidents fault.
  20. So the opioid addiction issue is because they came across the border and not because of companies like Perdue pharma? Got it.
  21. Welp. I just got raped and murdered in my home by an immigrant that came over the border illegally. Thanks Biden.
