Boo hoo.

We can't just throw the leading presidential rival in prison for life.

After we attempted to bankrupt him.

And take him off the ballot.

Aren't you the moron who recently posted about irony? Lol. Look for the microscopic sarcasm stamp next time. It is invisible ink. You have to scratch and sniff your screen to see it.

The best sarcasm is the sarcasm that needs clarification that it was, in fact, sarcasm.

This thread is the greatest.

bearister and all the other arrogant libs on this forum really thought this was going to be the beginning of the end of Trump and instead, the Democratic Party is in disarray and now the top donors are running away from Biden when there's probably no way they can get rid of him now.



This decrepid worthless party is imploding right before our eyes due to their hubris and stupidity. They really thought they could conceal that this guy was a vegetable and now they're backed into a corner with no way out.




Here's a brutal account of how long they've been talking amongst themselves about how far gone Biden was and they still ran this fool.


Quote:
In January, I began hearing similar stories from Democratic officials, activists, and donors. All people who supported the president and were working to help reelect him to a second term in office. Following encounters with the president, they had arrived at the same concern: Could he really do this for another four years? Could he even make it to Election Day?

Uniformly, these people were of a similar social strata. They lived and socialized in Washington, New York, and Los Angeles. They did not wish to come forward with their stories. They did not want to blow a whistle. They wished that they could whistle past what they knew and emerge in November victorious and relieved, having helped avoid another four years of Trump. What would happen after that? They couldn't think that far ahead. Their worries were more immediate.

When they discussed what they knew, what they had seen, what they had heard, they literally whispered. They were scared and horrified. But they were also burdened. They needed to talk about it (though not on the record). They needed to know that they were not alone and not crazy. Things were bad, and they knew things were bad, and they knew others must also know things were bad, and yet they would need to pretend, outwardly, that things were fine. The president was fine. The election would be fine. They would be fine. To admit otherwise would mean jeopardizing the future of the country and, well, nobody wanted to be responsible personally or socially for that. Their disclosures often followed innocent questions: Have you seen the president lately? How does he seem? Often, they would answer with only silence, their eyes widening cartoonishly, their heads shaking back and forth. Or with disapproving sounds. "Phhhhwwwaahhh." "Uggghhhhhhhhh." "Bbbwwhhheeuuw." Or with a simple, "Not good! Not good!" Or with an accusatory question of their own: "Have you seen him?!"




Okay, so maybe the Democratic Party leaders screwed up royally over the past 18 mos. or so. Nobody's perfect! Could they please get a second chance? Doesn't everybody deserve a second chance?

How about if I said "please"?

This is why the Dems can't have nice things.

Most of the GOP knows Trump is a schmuck and potentially dangerous but they rally behind him anyway. If anyone disagrees they get skewered.

Why couldn't the Dems do the same thing? Oh, they are trying, but they just don't have that grip on their Party that the GOP does.

I think what scared people isn't that they realize that Biden is a doddering old man, but that they realized Trump stands a good chance to beat him. They want a do-over.

As Bill Maher said:

"Biden was elected because he was the only man who could beat Trump and now he needs to go because he is the only man who could lose to Trump."

The collateral problem with Biden staying in the race is that it will have an impact on the house and senate races across the country. Imagine Trump with a Republican controlled Senate and House. The far left wanted bigger government and more government control over human behavior. It won't be all fun and games when the extremes on the other side gets control of the bigger government.

The opposite is true, the Republican Party never-Trumpers are called RINOs. There are no equivalent terms like never-Bideners or DINOs on the left. It's because the Democratic Party is more unified behind their candidates, and I would argue, more cultish.

Trump 2020: Be Very Afraid
America is the first country to ever elect a Mad King, and the way things are going, we may be dumb enough to do it twice

BY MATT TAIBBI
AUGUST 19, 2019

"Two and a half years into his presidency, Trump has already staked a claim to a role in history usually reserved for hereditary monarchs at the end of a line of inbreeding. Historians will list him somewhere between Vlad the Impaler and France's Charles VI, who thought his buttocks were made of glass.

Much of America loves its Mad King, whose works are regularly on display. Russians under Ivan the Terrible used to watch dogs being hurled over the Kremlin walls when the tsar's mood was bad. Americans have grown used to late-night insults tweeted at nuclear powers from the White House bedroom.."

*This is all I could get out of the article before the paywall shut me out.

It gives rise to the question: WHAT THE F@UCK HAPPENED TO MATT TAIBBI that he is now willing to overlook the danger of the Mad King in the interests of tubing the Democrats?


*Taibbi also wrote this article:

The Madness of Donald Trump
The pressures of the presidency have pushed Trump to the edge, but is he crazy enough to be removed from office?

BY MATT TAIBBI
SEPTEMBER 19, 2017

*….and since Taibbi wrote these articles, tRump has gone squared on the madness factor.

That's right, one of those articles I read about Taibbi said he makes serious boku from his Substack subscriptions….a lot more than his Rolling Stone salary.

"This thread is the greatest.
bearister and all the other arrogant libs on this forum …"

You have always called me a closet Republican. Now I'm an arrogant lib?

So instead of being an Anti anti tRumper that is trying to teach the Democrats a lesson so that they let the Progressive Wing takeover next time, all this undermining and joining in with all the Right Wing arguments has morphed you into a Right Winger?

My grandmother used to say that if you lay down with dogs that you will get up with fleas.
I'm an arrogant lib and I didn't say anything like what Yogi suggested. He's wrong again. Ho hum.
It's a day that ends in a y, so Yogi gets things wrong. No surprise there.
I've been telling you for years that Biden has dementia and you guys think you're the ones who are right when you and your media and your politicians have been lying your collective asses off the entire time. This is the time when you start issuing mea culpas, not doubling down on how you're the smart ones. But I know that's an impossibility for you.



My mom taught me that pride goeth before a fall. With that in mind, mea culpa, if... if... you will let us pick somebody else (besides the VP). Otherwise, forget it (giving up my pride does have its limits).

From the article:

"Biden has also held fewer press conferences than any president since Ronald Reagan (who also suffered from cognitive decline.)"

Can that possibly be true? I seem to recall that Trump almost never held any.

Yeah. Most of what is in that tweet is bullcrap. But keep posting opinions from randos on X as if they were facts. Republican morons gonna republican AND moron.

It should be interesting if tRump agrees to debate Harris. Dealing with dishonest defense attorneys or criminals that go in pro per is just another days work for a prosecutor.
In otherwords, she should know how do deal with a whirling dervish of lies and evasion delivered via stream of consciousness in a loud voice. Neither will gain or lose a vote.

*tRump now assumes the mantle of oldest man to run for POTUS.

We don't know even know for sure if Biden has decided to withdraw from the race. No one has seen or heard from him.

I have no idea if Tulsi's speech there is true or not. Trying to get ahold of her ever changing political positions (she is currently a self professed tRumpist ) is like trying to wrestle a greased pig.*

She sounded like a criminal justice Progressive at that debate. How is that philosophy working out in the Alameda County DA's Office right now? Tulsi seems very compromised to me. Perhaps her love of Russia connects her to tRump.

In any event, tRump ain't Tulsi, or even a high school debate team member.

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/30/us/politics/tulsi-gabbard-trump-vp.html#:~:text=Tulsi%2520Gabbard%252C%2520a%2520former%2520House,to%2520do%2520so%252C%E2%80%9D%2520Ms.

*As a tRumpist, Tulsi ,de facto, is now supporting shooting protestors and shoplifters.
