Honestly, the only problem I really have with Biden is superficial, and it’s mostly because most other people are superficial.

This election can only be won by breaking apathy. That takes a confident and strong speaker. Apathetic voters don’t watch the news every day. They don’t know what Biden is up to. But debates are like the Superbowl of politics, and even is they don’t watch the whole game, they won’t be able to avoid the highlights.

That performance did not inspire confidence. He was meek and paled next to Trump’s booming confident voice. Doesn’t matter that he was spewing shit, he sounded good doing it.

Could you imagine Obama doing that? Or Bill Clinton? Hell no. Those guys were popular because they had confidence. They oozed it, but not at the point where they appear arrogant.

Bidens strategy should have been to turn off his speaker whenever Trump talked and just guessing what he said and rebutting that. You can’t counter his every point, it takes far more work to dismantle a lie than it is to make one.

I know Biden is smart, I know he’s a skilled politician and I know that he’s got a hell of a staff and cabinet. And ultimately that’s really the biggest criteria for an administration.

I wouldn’t mind him tapping out and calling in a pitch hitter though. A stronger and more confident candidate, with Bidens endorsement, could take it. Bernie, but younger. Obama, but white (anything else is sadly a non-starter for too many purple states). Bill, but less pervy. That’s what will win the election.

The only way to destroy Trump is through a long series of viral propaganda documentaries.

Not good ones. Shittily produced ones that get hosted on Vimeo.

Idk, can’t we fantasize about how Thomas could be hung like a black man?

Aye. My SO is an artist at a chain store (not this one). As in, that’s the majority of what she does all day. Making signs.

Not just price and promo signs but even the big special signs. It takes a skill I know I don’t have.

No, you’re a moron for having a moronic opinion.

Trump had as many appointments because McConnells Senate held up hearing Garlands nomination (not to mention a record number of lower court appointments). And then rushed in Gorsuch. And then when RBG died even closer to an election, they showed their hypocrisy with Barrett.

And the entire point of Project 2025 is to replace a metric shitton of non-political merit-based federal jobs with political appointments so he can staff them full of cronies and circumvent checks and balances that way. Congress won’t outlaw hormonal birth control? No worries, FDA can do that. Unitary Executive Theory.

They do what they want, when they want, until somebody stops them. And now, legally, nobody can stop them. Not without using the monkeys paw that this court just handed Biden.

Yes, because impeachment worked so well the last two times.

It’s tough for the Democrats, to be just progressive enough as to not piss off too many red/purple states.

Likely the nuclear option for a lame duck Biden.

Fucking Brilliant. Biden could just pull out the ol’ uno reverse right now.

You must not be American. Everything here is better with cheese.

Eggs? Cheese.

Toast? Cheese.

Bacon? Cheese.

All of the above combined, you got a sammich.

Coffee? Cheese.

Gun? Cheese.

I think such a thing is like a lightsaber. Building your own is a rite of passage.

I think the problem is, if Dems do it first, they’re not better than the Republicans.

Unilateral dictatorships are unilateral dictatorships no matter who does it.

You can’t win in a game where one side insists on cheating and one side insists on following the rules. Our system of governance wasn’t designed for this level of factionhood. It should and could’ve been stopped the right way maybe 20 or 30 years ago. At the least, 8 years ago. And the very last chance was when Trump’s second impeachment made it to the Senate.

But now, there’s no chance.

It’s not even really “cheating” that the Republicans are doing. Most everything is getting a “legal” stamp of approval. Just in a shady way that clearly and defiantly goes against everything this country has ever been about.

Hey I know another politician who was pretty popular for his time that did the same thing. Bright young man with a funny mustache.

I’m glad my kid hasn’t stumbled into that side of YouTube. It’s part of the reason I don’t want to install YouTube kids. I know the same content is on the main app, but it’s just there on YTKids

I personally love YouTube and I’d sympathize with your nephew, except I binge on 15-minute-explainers. That shits my lifeblood.

At least the channels he watches are usually well narrated.

George Bush doesn’t care about black people.

Have you seen the Republican Congress?

Trying to get anything through them is like preschoolers playing Red Rover against the New England Patriots.

I’m not saying they don’t try. It’s important to try, as long as they immediately call out the opposition at any and every opportunity. And loud. But if it comes from a D, fat chance actually getting it passed.

It’s okay, I get my lefts and my rights confused when my head is up my ass, too.

This is all easily remedied. Biden just needs to put out a bounty on Trump’s head. Totally legal move.

Yes but could you stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody?

Could you publicly ask a foreign adversary to hack and release a political opponents emails? Or ask a group of white supremacists to stand by?

Could you grab a lady by her vajayjay?

He doesn’t. Impeaching judges is the House’s job.

You know your house rep is up for election this year?

That’s a bit of a selection bias. It’s hard enough finding one lawyer that won’t work in their own best interests…finding 535 selfless lawyers is downright impossible.
