not for nothing but if i were in the biden admin, i’d ram a whole megaton of maximizing executive orders through while every reporter in america is fixated on biden old, since they’re clearly not going to cover anything else this week.
What kills me is that something like this is so eminently DOABLE. Like, just fucking do it! Be dark Brandon/SOTU Biden! The press will acknowledge it! Your base will love it! Most crucially, Undecideds will perk up!
Harris makes the distinction between the candidates even more clear. Woman. Minority. Younger. And she is a fighter.
I am still rid’en with Biden but would be on board with Harris.
Agreed. He's doing the job [but getting rolled by Netanyahu in ways he ought to see coming from miles away] Dementia? No. Decline? Yes, obviously, he is in his 80s. We know the media is unfair but the issue is can the Biden Campaign figure it out or not? Can they respond? So far the answer is meh.
and maybe if they did eventually notice, it might trigger a "how did the very old man do this?" response rather than "we talked to a Federalist Society lawyer who explained all the ways Biden's Stop Grinding Orphans into Dog Food executive order is blatantly unconstitutional"
I know it’s not a big media market, but the LA Times did manage to do the minimum yesterday.
(Please, use the NYT for fish wrap, read the LAT instead.)
It would be inspired decisive action that would make it plain he was doing something right when the national mood is FUCKING DO SOMETHING so it's a good idea.
Unfortunately I have no faith he'll actually do it.
Yeah, he has the spotlight right now and he needs to use it or get off the stage.
Starting a beef with the NYT would be a good place to start.

1) feisty is a much better look if he's interested in staying in the race
2) It would Garner him more attention which he could direct toward any damn thing he wants
3) they deserve it for being so fucking weird and obsessive
