      I’m visiting with the fam for the 4th. My grandparents keep CNN on 24/7.

      CNN has been running “Biden should step down” as their main lead, all week. Every show has at least one segment on it.

      They’re saying stuff like “70% of democrat voters think he is not fit” or something like that (dunno what their polling data and methodology are though.)

      I expect that these 24/7 news networks can apply a lot of pressure to drive a story like this.

      Edit: I may have misquoted those polls. Which I think shows how bad CNN’s reporting is. They just said something very different came out of a Reuter’s poll.

      I feel like this needs an asterix. The last president* who began his presidency as a president, had the powers of a dictator, but refused to use those powers because of morals.

      While he could have used those powers to aggressively reshape the nation back to the original framework envisioned by the founding fathers, instead he followed tradition and what was expected. As such, the next “leader” of the United States embraced these powers, led a bloody siege to his opponents, and thus began the beginning to the end of what was once called the United States of America. Father Trump, as he demanded to be called, partnered with Russia and North Korea, in effect beginning WWIII. The American people were “shocked”

      Edit: weird that Android phones auto correct WWIII to WWII? Or is that just my phone for some reason? It doesn’t matter. We’re fucked

    It’s a good move to be public like this, but if it’s another train wreck, it’s time for an intervention. I’m sure everyone involved gets that.

      Time for an intervention was Friday fucking morning. Better late than never, though. I’m honestly hoping that both candidates fuck off and die before the election. FWIW, I am voting D no matter what.

      That live speech he gave in the North Carolina rally on the next day after the debate wasn’t a train wreck.

    Stephanopoulos will interview Biden on Friday, with the “extended” interview, as ABC News terms it, set to air on Sunday on This Week and Good Morning America on Monday.

    I’d like to see him in a live interview.

      Doubt. Notice how quiet trump’s camp is. They have the upper hand and they know that Brandon is completely fucked. Why draw attention?

      It’s frightening that their campaign is being run by someone intelligent. Someone who was able to get through to trump and convince him not to be an odious asshole during the debate.

      My man, we are all fucked.

        Trump can’t stay out of the spotlight long. He’s wholly incapable of not being the center of attention.

        In other news, did you see his name in those Epstein records? Turns out he allegedly raped a few kids, so there’s something fun for Republicans to condone ignore.

    I love every one of these articles that mention biden by name in the title. The idiots and bots come out of the woodwork and mark themselves as ‘safe to block’.

    Keep em coming!

      There’s 25 comments here.

      One idiot here is the one living in a echo-chamber because they believe anyone with a different opinion is a bot or an idiot.

      P.S. Don’t forget to re-enforce that echo chamber. I had an different opinion than yours on the definition of the words idiot and bot. that means I’ve got to be one or the other.
