No. We are going to get Harris and people will vote for her and we will fucking beat these fascists.

I mean, if Joe's going to crumble, let's just get it over with and move on, hopefully with some Democratic unity.  The ongoing debate will kill any shot at pulling out a miracle, so hopefully he's either 2020 Joe for the next few weeks or shows definitively that there's no shot he can serve - i.e., hopefully no middle ground.

Biden at LBJ on Monday.  "It's great to be here at the University of Austin, Massachusetts." 

(checks notes)

"Boston, that's what I said."

Can you imagine Zelensky's thought process the last couple of weeks? Someone with real skin in the game?

[jimmyjazz 45,898]

Only in America can one old man misspeak and say "Putin" instead of "Zelensky" and the other old man actively supports Putin, and that is seen as the lesser transgression.

We are so fucked by ourselves.

[Hank Kingsley 20,918]

Just poured a high proof rye for this PC. God help us all.

Yes we are. Now just let go. Joe's done.

Feel like the fact that we are all waiting with bated breath to see if the president can handle a press conference kinda answers the electability question in itself…

[Goredho 17,399]

Republicans:  My candidate could shoot someone on 5th avenue and I'd still vote for them!

Democrats:  My candidate is brain dead and sprawled out on 5th avenue, and I'm still going to vote for them!

50% of Americans who identify as neither:

While we are debating tongue slips, Trump’s team is telling NATO we will reduce intel sharing.

https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/10/trump-considering-cutting-intel-sharing-europe-00167503 

Quote

Donald Trump is considering a reduction in intelligence sharing with members of NATO, which depends on the U.S. for the type of information that has helped Ukraine fend off Russia, according to foreign officials informed of the plans.

Trump advisers have told allied countries the reduced intel sharing would be part of a broader plan to scale back U.S. support and cooperation with the 32-nation alliance, according to three European officials and a senior NATO official, who were granted anonymity to discuss internal discussions.

We are truly on the cusp of electing to destroy ourselves and what we’ve built.

It makes you wonder how long everyone knew it was headed this way.  Everyone staring at everyone else hoping they'd make the move.  But no one having the guts to do so.  Doggett stepped up.

[BehoId, The Underminer! 11,669]

also, i'm fucking sitting here at work because i don't want to be in the car during this press conference.  hurry the fuck up.

The belief is about a year and a few months that it’s been “good and bad days.” The last Cabinet meeting was October 2023. His last solo presser was 11/2023. I’m white knuckling this.

Though I'm about to shoot myself listening to cspan callers while we're waiting holy shit

The longer the wait the worse the feel of this. Honestly. Even if he “knocks it out of the park” what then? If he doesn’t and digs his heels in even further what then? Hence, I’m white knuckling this.

You look at America over there and it’s all about the tradition of having a man with one foot in a casket be the last line of defense against the end of western democracy.

Scares you to death. You know, 50% of all candidates lose every Election Day.

Well, there's virtually zero chance that Biden wins if the election were next Tuesday, so not a whole lot to lose by trying something else, yeah?

This kind of thinking is the result of a deliberate, conscious effort to not understand how this works.

Not real sure about your logic here, as the "other side" desperately wants Biden to be the nominee.

Joe Biden. The gift that keeps on giving. 

[Rimbo 25,919]

News flash: Biden was misspeaking back in the 1980s. It's who he's always been.

[Covri 6,247]

Calling it now, Joe Biden gets up there and announces he’s handling the presidency over to Jill. Can he do that? Probably not. Does he know that? Also probably not.

You’re right. 
Way back in 1977, he said that forced busing to desegregate schools would cause his children to “grow up in a racial jungle.”

Are those teleprompters I see set up next to the podium? Is that normal for a press conference?

This is Joe NOW.  If the mental disintegration continues at this pace, where will he/we be in three or four more years.  Jesus, Mary and (sigh) Joseph.  I’ve never voted Republican in a presidential election and I’ve been voting since 1972.  I’ll vote for a mangy yellow dog before I’ll vote for the best Republican, much less Donasseipe Trump, the Arch Enemy of Enlightenment.
