I go to bed at like 8:30, but I should not be president

Also, whew, lemme tell you, one way to get blocked on here is to flood my mentions with "OH SO YOU HATE BIDEN/WANT TRUMP/YOU'RE TRYING TO DESTROY THE REPUBLIC" and so on because I posted a link to an article.

Look, idk what the right path forward is for that campaign and neither does anyone else. Screaming at strangers about it on the internet probably doesn't help.

But it's extra wild when the likely pivot would just be to swap in Harris, who would continue to have the exact same policies as Biden but without the burden of being a million years old.

Go make phone calls for the Biden campaign instead of yelling at internet strangers. It's more productive.

But here's the thing, and I'll say it as someone who monitors and analyzes media: the bad media coverage isn't going to let up. It's going to drive his poll numbers down and it's going to be relentless. There's blood in the water, and maybe it's not fair, but that's the reality right now.

The only way it *might* stop is if he does something that really demonstrates that he's got some crazy-youthful energy/stamina/whatever that he maybe doesn't actually have. He should probably be on every TV show possible right now, doing every interview he can, just relentlessly in our faces.

Olivia Nuzzi (yes I know) has a massive article in NYMag where she describes seeing Biden at a fundraiser in April where he asked her for her name. Joe Biden asked Olivia Nuzzi what her name was. It was joever a week ago but it's never been more joever than today, until tomorrow

I'm not sure I understand the import of this. Did they date or something?

Some of these fucking beltway reporters are so far up their own asses they're starting to come out the other side

Some of them are ALSO so far up Trump's network that we should read accordingly. NYT has now assigned Haberman to Biden stories. That's ... a confession.

Wow. They’re essentially just not going to report on Trump

The damage wreaked by decades of anti-democracy activists posing as conservatives.

If you haven’t already, unsubscribe from the NYT.

I unsubscribed a few months ago. It's just another worthless rag now.

I think Trump assigned her to Biden stories. NYT featured more stories about Hillary in 2016 that mentioned 'sexual assault' than they did on Trump. She had a byline in a lot of them.

Maggie Trump's late-night phone buddy is assigned to Biden???

Why is nobody in the media talking about Trumps obvious mental decline?

NYMag should really go back to "What's it like to date a horse"

not to shit on olivia nuzzi - though i'll admit i'm not a fan - and not trying here to weigh in on the current biden drama either way... but it's not shocking to me that biden didn't know/remember who she is. i almost feel like it would be a sign of pettiness if he did, based on her opinion of him.

Kind of what I thought too. Haha

Also, Nuzzi has named Ann Coulter as a personal hero. It's fine to shit on her
Avatar
It's pretty damned polite to pretend not to remember ppl who've behaved like assholes in the past.

In all my years I've never expected a politician to remember my name and tbh have always been pleasantly surprised when they do.

It’s like an ouroboros of bad takes (I gotta workshop this)

An Anne Coulter fangirl.

I didn't know any fangirls of the White Flamingo actually exist. Ugh.

Olivia Nazzi has it bad:
thought i'd check my camera roll for "nuzzi"

If Ann Coulter were two seats away from me, I'd bolt. I detest that woman
Avatar
Yeah I wouldn’t recognize either one of them well enough to bolt.

Olivia Nuzzi is only younger otherwise they’re pretty much the same

One of my favorite stories is when Hillary Clinton shook Jason Chaffetz's hand thinking he was Reince Preibus.
