I truly believe this is underrated as a thing

reporting from north trumpistan: the elders have made it very clear today that they are pissed off when someone attributes any stumble or lapse in a 60+ year old to dementia my borough isn't just red. it is vermilion. it has passed red to get away from blue. but they're ...allying with him.

my wife is a better driver than I am and likes driving more than I do. so if we’re getting into the car at the same time, she drives. but if I’m picking her up on a busy street, for whatever reason, it’s not worth the hassle and danger to switch seats. do you see where I’m going with this

wow. have to say that this was not the resolution I expected

Like I always say, dance like no one’s watching, email [or text vomit emojis] like it’s going to end up in the New York Times. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/08/n...

Columbia Removes Three Deans, Saying Texts Touched on ‘Antisemitic Tropes’www.nytimes.com Nemat Shafik, the university president, called the sentiments in the text messages “unacceptable and deeply upsetting.”

my basic view remains this: Biden stays, party unites: >70% W Biden steps down, smooth transition to Harris: >60% W Biden stays, party chaos: <40% W Biden steps down, bad transition: <10% W

I think somebody who has incomplete info must have leaked something about Parkinson’s to the NYT and possibly the rest of the WHPC. it seems likely that his medical team is in fact keeping an eye out for Parkinson’s

It seems to me the NYT (and WH Press for that matter) should have cross-referenced the dates of Dr. Cannard’s visits w/ the president’s schedule. On the second of the supposed 8 dates, 8/25/23, Biden wasn’t at the WH for any of that day. He was at Tom Steyer’s place in Tahoe that whole week.

just unambiguously the worst choice for Trump to make. rooting for this

this would be useful for me, also

Are there any football related Bluesky accounts I’m not following? I’m determined to build it up a bit before the season. Or maybe not. We’ll see.

not proof positive but seems relevant

The NYT Parkinson's "scoop" is even worse than it seems from the headline, bc buried in paragraph 11 the reporters *know* Dr. Connard met with someone other than Biden, and on March 28, 2024 the President's Public Schedule shows Biden was in NYC the whole day

this is how you, as a newspaper, wind up getting bodied by Michael J. Fox

there is going to be backlash on this story in particular

Breaking News: A Parkinson’s expert visited the White House eight times in eight months from last summer through this spring, according to official visitor logs. The administration has said that President Biden has no signs of the disease.

Parkinson’s Expert Visited the White House Eight Times in Eight Monthswww.nytimes.com The White House has said that President Biden has no signs of the disease and that there has been no reason to update the most recent testing, conducted in February.

do people even know what Parkinson's looks like or are we just throwing shit at the wall here

i think Thursday is the drop-dead deadline but also there will be kind of a natural STFU period through the RNC although it will be interesting (not necessarily in a good way) if this siphons interest away from the RNC

elected Dems have, like, this week to figure their shit out at most either coordinate the entire caucus against him or shut the fuck up and get back on message keep leaking like this through November and you're going to kill both Biden and your own re-election chances

fwiw I don't think this is a particularly likely winning map-- the base case is just that Biden holds the Blue Wall states-- but it's a winning map with either NC or GA www.270towin.com/maps/omkG8

This election will be played on 2012/2016 battlegrounds -- MI, WI, and PA are all that matter. Biden is down in all three states right now -- very close in MI and WI, but down fairly big (3%) in PA and trending in the wrong direction. He either wins all three states and wins or loses one and loses

three points isn't even particularly massive as an election-day lead. it is trivial as a July 8th lead.

I feel like too many people on here are not facing the facts about the extremely desperate and dismal electoral situation Biden is in. If you just take the states where Trump is up MORE THAN THREE POINTS in the polling average (a massive lead), he's already got the Electoral College locked.

Some good news for a change

Top Haredi MK on potential dissolution of Knesset: ‘That is where we are heading’www.timesofisrael.com * * *

there were legit concerns that came out of the debate! I shared those legit concerns! since then: 1) the polling has stubbornly refused to fall off a cliff 2) Biden has done enough to convince me, and I think convince anyone else who's being fair, that he doesn't have dementia.

Perhaps it’s more due to who I follow but my feed’s an echo chamber of absolute denial. I saw everyone freak out in the debate! People’s concerns aren’t just a product of the media, but their own eyes! Biden’s been inconsistent since then, too. Normie dems are, in fact, worried!

one of the things i suspect is going on here that Congressional Dems do not want to talk about is that some of the pantswetters in the Democratic Party who think the WH is gone no matter what would rather pivot against Harris than pivot against Biden.

Twitter is an insane echo chamber on Biden right now and I don't think they realize it

FROM: Biden HQ SUBJECT: Are you my friend? Are we locked in?

when, would you say, do you expect it to drive his poll numbers down and how far

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.

“certified nominee? certified pedophile”

My fantasy: Joe Biden, calling on Peter Baker, getting a question about being old, answering: “Sure I’m old. But at least Jeffrey Epstein didn’t have my number on speed dial like the adjudicated rapist running against me.”

Interesting to see this line in Biden’s letter: “We are the ones who will bring real Supreme Court reform.” (h/t @incompetusrex.bsky.social)

NC people: my sense was that this was indeed a lead story locally. Accurate or no?

In a normal campaign, this would have dominated the weekend’s news. I wrote about @gregsargent.bsky.social’s scoop about the Christian nationalist GOP nominee for NC Gov calling for murder of his political enemies: ‘Some folks need killing’: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Opinion | ‘Some folks need killing’: North Carolina Lt. Gov takes Christian nationalism to dangerous lowwww.msnbc.com Mark Robinson’s newly explicit calls for killing perceived enemies show how seamlessly Christian nationalists can glide into promoting real violence.

ok bsky tonight’s game is: whoever goes the longest without 1) finding out what the barf discussion is about or 2) logging off wins.

www.politico.com/news/2024/07...

this is 538’s forecast right now. You can go look it up.

it’s partially this and partially that the anti-Biden group is trying to find a coalition of Ds big enough to pressure Biden out, which means they want to be all things to all people

The demands for a "blitz primary" aren't serious suggestions, they're designed to set the table for delegitimizing Kamala Harris if Biden were to step aside for her

it’s not even what the polls say

"at this point, democrats probably realize that Trump is going to just win in November" is an absolutely disqualifying statement for any pundit. Like how the polls showed a massive red wave in 22? Lethal admixture of doomerism and stupidity.
