The rules of the game: Nothing Republicans say about Democrats, no matter how deranged — such as Mark Robinson saying that “some people need killing” — will be considered out of bounds, yet standard political rhetoric from Democrats will be treated as incitement to violence.

People are laughing at this but I can assure you it’s true. As one of Elon’s personal medics I attended to the injuries he sustained in the attacks. In both instances he suffered lacerations to his penis in what he described as “knoife croimes.” I also scrubbed blood from the frunk of his Cybertruck

Lmaoooo yeah well someone tried to kill me twice

Somehow they always find the anonymous "senior Democratic strategist" who is sitting in his bathtub and about to drop in the toaster

White liberals are a wild, intensely defeatist group judging by the amount of “Well we lost the election” posts I’ve seen on Twitter. Like… I don’t know what about getting shot makes you want to vote for a guy, but I’m unswayed.

jesus, at minute 22 he starts digging in on trump and just absolutely gores him deep over and over again, people talk about trump as if he's the only one ever able to score any points, but biden's calling trump a criminal, a rapist, an idiot and a traitor to absolutely *ROARING* applause

the contrast between *this* crowd overwhelming biden with WE GOT YOUR BACK at the 9 minute mark compared with the last 2 weeks of coverage is something to contemplate for a moment.

Peter Sarsgaard: We have the same voice, what are we going to do John Malkovich: I. could. get. more. halting? Peter Sarsgaard: Love it

Straightforward from here: 1. Biden pulls out, endorses open contest 2. Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries perform the Ancient Rites as set forth by the Party Old Ones 3. The ghost of Abraham Lincoln arises and endorses the current iteration of the Democratic Party 4. ???? 5. ???? 6. Profit

I'm not so much "pretending everything is fine" as "knowing that replacing Biden would be a useless shitshow that would make everything way worse".

“Now that we know felons can be white, we’re massive fans of crime.”

I don’t even know where to begin with this.

I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of “Biden Old” and “Rich Dems Worried” above-the-fold stories are *obscene* in the face of SCOTUS using the Constitution to wipe their asses purely in the service of reinstating a felon rapist as president. Crazy-making shit.

as a politics knower I think the democrats should simply do the thing that makes it easiest to win, but also aligns with both all my prior posts and all my most panicked recent posts. this is very simple and obvious.

Everyone suggesting a contested convention is actually a good idea:

The only two permutations of this that work are: 1) Biden stays in 2) Biden steps aside for Harris but remains in office Everything other permutation of this idea is either a fantasy or propaganda whose discussion is designed to get the Dems to lose the election and usher Trump into power.

If Biden does drop out, I'm looking forward to the flawless media pivot from "Why won't Biden drop out?" to running endless "Dems in disarray!" type stories for months on end.

Yeah, great examples there. It's not like either were followed by two-term Republican presidents or anything.

Biden does *not* need to step down. Instead, he needs to jump to the left, and then take a step to his right with his hands on his hips and then bring his knees in tight.
