@GottaLaff I'm neither sad nor disappointed. Biden may be old, he may stumble given his stutter, but everything he said was the truth. Everything he said was the truth, everything. Each bragadocious statement from Trump was a glorified lie.
The reason we have VPs is in the event of a death or failure in the Oval Office, and Kamala Harris is perfect capable of carrying us forward. If he felt he was completely incapable, he would step aside. That's the man he is.
And they're doing it despite open calls for journalists to be imprisoned whenever they stray from the GQP Official Line.
#Solnit π―: "Much has been said about the age of the candidates, but maybe itβs the corporate media whose senility is most dangerous to us. Their insistence on proceeding as though things are pretty much what theyβve always been, on normalizing the appalling and outrageous, on using false equivalencies and bothsiderism to make themselves look fair and reasonable, on turning politics into horseraces and personality contests, is aiding the destruction of the United States."

Depending on the outcome of the next election, I might need an emotional support Canada.
Although I wouldn't put it past the Mango Moron to declare war on y'all.
The #debate was all about #TFG's 50 LIES because that's how CNN intentionally framed it.
Pres Biden was a truth teller & has a stellar record.
Amplify the facts from the #BidenHarris campaign that delineates the 50 lies that TFG told:
No, bribes are still illegal, but a "gift" after the pol does what you wanted is totes OK.
Although the before / after aspect is still a little gray, considering the timing of all those "gifts" to Clearance Sale Thomas.
re: Overheard, WTF.
[Me, wondering what "twink milk" is]
@ScottSoCal Right??? What do they think trump will do? He'd probably ENCOURAGE the extermination of Gazans π₯Ί
I avoid conflicts, but because I'm afraid of my own reaction - I dig in my heels and things can escalate.
I've learned to shrug it off when someone is wrong about something (factual, not opinion). Unless they're wrong many times and keep repeating it. Then I'll tell them quietly, without anyone else around. If they're still wrong after that, I write them off as too stupid to save and ignore them.
feel the same
IMO the people making these Biden-blaming posts *know* it would be even worse with Trump, they simply don't care
for some, pretending Gaza is somehow Biden's fault makes it easier to look in the mirror than just admitting they're happy to usher in fascism if they think it will lower their taxes
straight up MAGAs don't need an excuse to vote for fascism, but for those who won't admit even to themselves that money is their god, GOP crafts a different kind of lie
@ScottSoCal The fact is, Trump has already said heβd blast Gaza out of existence, so it would absolutely not be better with him. He and Bibi are two peas in a pod.
