They're gonna force a Beshear + other white guy ticket put Whitmer in a glass walled third until she can be a number 2 on the eventual Buttgieg ticket tell everyone they did us all a huge favor and pretend the rest of the names here don't exist
i watch the skies when i’m out on the moto, so i saw this brewing a while ago + got back to my garage.
pleasant heavy breeze but looks sketchy as a mofo.
there’s the rain
by choosing anyone other than harris to replace biden should he decide to step aside, the party would be revealing they very cynically chose her as veep for optics without believing she could actually be president.
NYT: New evidence shows the Trump campaign was raping everyone in sight, and illegally concealing the settlement payments. For the good of the country, Biden must drop out
The opting out is especially wild
Like, Republican governors are being actively presented with money to feed kids and affirmatively saying 'I would like children to starve actually'
(Also, if I'm a Dem campaigner, I'm making some ads and placing some op eds about this immediately)
there are a shit-tonne of normal people who don’t currently know what Project 2025 - the Fuckup Everything That’s Good Project - is.
tell them. use vivid examples.
"If we are calling for Biden to step aside because someone must stop Trump from bringing down the republic, then surely it would have made more sense to first call for Trump to step aside?"

As a side note, this is John McEntee, Trump's Director of White House Personnel and the primary architect of Project 2025. On Tik Tok he said he gives counterfeit bills to homeless people so they will be arrested when they go to spend them.
"I discussed your paper w/ Abraham Lincoln.
We both agreed that it's not up to the standards of this class, which by the way were reviewed by Jacques Cousteau."
This semester I’m going to tell my students I don’t care if they use ChatGPT to write their papers, much as I don’t care if they use LSD and a ouija board write their papers.
I’ll give fancy-sounding bullshit a failing grade no matter how it’s produced.
17 Presidents were Senators, 15 were VPs. Harris has been both. Standard POTUS qualification stuff.
There's been only one President who never held a high-ranking government post before: Donald Trump, and it showed through his incompetence and mismanagement.
Biden is not owed good press by a long shot. But the amount of coverage his age is receiving relative to that of Trump's very real past and promised future actions strikes me as one of the greatest media mis-prioritizations since the run-up to the Iraq War.
It’s weird how conservatives think having more kids than liberals means there will be more conservatives when every Drag Race contestant’s bio is “I grew up in a town where the only employers were the church and the prison, I was raised by my aunt after my mom was executed for working on Sunday”
to everyone who took the time to boost & contribute to my mutual aid: this is what y'all got me.
a motorized wheelchair to replace my manual one that i could no longer use due to hand paralysis. it's beautiful, it's fast, it's comfortable & it actually holds my oxygen.
thank you so fucking much.
I’m not posting on what should happen with President Biden.
We have to coalesce around a candidate, soon & in solidarity.
If Biden is going to step (be pushed) aside, let it happen quickly with unanimous support for the new candidate.
If he stays in, support him.

Can’t make Trump’s unfitness for office the talking point: that’s “boring”. So, gotta go with what gets the attention now, and that’s arguing that Biden is unfit. Once again: there are legitimate questions about Biden, but the attack dogs are more interested in controversy than enlightenment.
entire threads get nuked if the original poster blocks someone in the replies... i think
it's a good approach that keeps the timeline of the person choosing to block free of any residual noise from the person(s) they blocked.
i just deleted a post stranded due to this; i blocked a replier as well
saw the first giant trump-flag carrying truck of this election season yesterday
first + only thought: that's a cult member. they're dangerous because they're in a cult of violence
Of course they're loving this. Trump, known for working only 3 hours per day, can just hang out at the golf course and ogle the vampiric plastic-surgery disasters in his club. He doesn't need to campaign or do much as long as the media is publishing 9275 daily stories about how Biden's too old.
