Kevin M. Kruse: Anyone who floated this idea seriously should not be allowed to operate a motor vehicle in public.

Galaxy brain moves afoot “In recent days, some company leaders and Democratic political operatives have called the chief executive of JPMorgan Chase, Jamie Dimon, according to someone with knowledge of the calls, to gauge his interest in replacing Mr. Biden”

Big Donors Turn on Biden. Quietly.www.nytimes.com Some of the president’s past supporters want a new candidate, but they are leery of going public.

We are approaching the NYT calling for Mitt Romney to step in for Biden.

Shhh. Stop manifesting.

If its ever been think-outside-the-box-time it's now. More alternatives: - Jimmy Kimmel - Kendrick - Justice KBJ - Charlie Munger - David Brooks - RFK - Belichick

Belichick

the doubters would have much more credibility if they didn't float ideas that are this dumb.

lots of crazy ideas are being taken seriously these days. in a mad world, who is to judge what make sense?

I cannot articulate how pissed off it makes me to hear/read/see the BS coverage of whether Biden can “do the job” with not even a glancing acknowledgement that Biden IS demonstrably, provably DOING THE JOB, well, better than Trump ever did or could, and doing it right now. He’s manifestly capable!

It really does illuminate what they’re really concerned about, though.

FFS, Biden already has a second in command who 81,283,501 voted for on the ticket four years ago. I'm willing to entertain arguments that some other politician might be a better choice, but not an old rich white guy with no political experience.

I mean, following the well-oiled machine and astounding success of Michael Bloomberg’s Presidential campaign, how could this possibly be bad

My god.

Oh yeah, this is clearly the guy you want to go to for his perspective on electoral strategy

Last or close to last person.

why not call sam altman to gauge chatgpt's interest

can't wait for 'are you racist against AI'

Mark Cuban already asked chatgpt about it

Yeah let’s give Dimon presidential immunity, nothing to fear all smooth sailing

Man of the people: Jamie Dimon

It’s a nasty secret that white supremacy lurks inside the Democratic Party too. It’s not equivalent to Rs, but let’s not be in denial about this. Lotta Dem donors have “economic anxiety” about VP Harris.

Wow that is a stupid idea. Also if Biden steps down we already have a candidate and her name is Kamala. She's doing better in recent polls, she's smart and quite capable of leading this country. Also she'd be able to Judge Judy Trump's ass in a debate

Democratic political operative is gonna be Doug Schoen or someone who hasn’t worked in Democratic politics for like 20 years.

Yeah. We need to know the names of these people so that we can assess their usefulness. We've known for years the DNC needs a big purge.

I mean *I* would vote for Jamie Dimon over Donald Trump in a Wall Street minute, but Trump would earn 400 EVs in such a contest.

Not sure I would. End results would be similar, but DJT might frack up a few things he tries: Dimon would bury the bodies.

I’d sooner eat glass

...except for a Cybertruck, right?

This sounds like some lesser multi-millionaires trying to suck up to Dimon and his staff sharing it with the NYT to do the same.

He who has the most money wins. They have chauffeurs anyway.

maybe a pre-recall cybertruck

Morning Joe was unwatchable today. When Tim Ryan, who lost to JD Vance, is with prime air time to spew his thoughts on Biden, I'm out.

It's almost always unwatchable for me.

You're correct. 😉 Thanks for reaffirming the why bother 🙅‍♀️

Anyone who floated this idea seriously probably hasn't been in the front seat of a motor vehicle in so long they've forgotten how.

I’m old enough to remember that the smart consensus in 2020 was that Andrew Cuomo would be a better candidate than Joe Biden

This is the dumbest thing I have ever read. Does Elizabeth Warren have to gut another billionaire on live television?

This must have been a Tyrion Lannister-esque ploy to see exactly whose ridiculous suggestions to the press are getting published

This enrages me. It means they want a Trump presidency again.

"After asking that questions, callers invariably followed it up by asking Mr. Dimon if he had Prince Albert in a can."

I laughed out loud at this. Jamie fucking Dimon?!?! I didn't think people still had stashes of the REALLY good 80s-era cocaine, but I guess I was wrong.

Put him in the incinerator

Maybe Jeff Bezos has some free time??? I’ll see myself out…

What idiot brain trust would recruit him?

What, Dick Fuld isn't available? At least Jon Corzine has won elections.

Of course, when in doubt and with a populace concerned with corporate overreach & an outsized influence in our politics, reach out to the financier and if he'd be interested in running the country. Please don't question the nihilist going forward.

If it’s not going to be Kamala then the only “famous” person I’d vote for is Jon Stewart. Who am I kidding? At this point I’d vote for anyone but that criminal combover.

What if we replaced Biden with a Republican 🤔

I think these 'Democratic political operatives' have done tremendous harm to the party and to our country. We basically expect that from the donor class, but not the people paid to be helpful.

Bankers in charge provides a more direct line to the kleptocracy.

Alternate theory: someone floated that just to see how fucking credulous the NYT is.
