It wasn't great, but it was no big deal. Biden will win because he tells the truth. Trump is a sick liar. The press is creating too much artificial drama. www.vox.com/politics/359...

In an ABC interview, Biden charts a course for Dems’ worst-case scenariowww.vox.com The president appeared too frail to defeat Trump and too delusional to drop out.

UK and France have both defeated their right wing parties in elections this year. The US needs to get its shit together.

i think he's been an excellent president and i'll fucking do or die for the party to the end. i'll carry him out on his shield. but his voice is gone, and, man, that's real important. it shouldn't be, but it is.

This ostensible 'news' is internet drama. Democrats are *not* shifting their support from Biden. CNN, you can do better than this. www.cnn.com/2024/07/05/p...

He really was.

He was a total class act.

Absolutely! If we remain united, we are an unstoppable blue tsunami. Never doubt the power of Democratic honesty to prevail over Republican lies.

🥺😡Wow! And people are in self inducedangest over what we have ALWAYS known- Biden is old. Why we elected Biden - VP HARRIS. But he gets stuff DONE. President, hard stuff. Not jokey, stage lie stuff. We need to circle the wagons. Stiffen our D spines. Have Joe's back like he has had OURS. 😘🫂💙🔥

Myandra, Graceless Lady and Proud of it.

Fucking Congress needs to get their shit together and start passing legislation, period. It's the only way to stop the assinine shit coming down from lm SCOTUS. One GIANT reason we're in this situation is because MAGAs entire goal is to not do their job. The country needs to flush that toilet.

just watched 74 people speaking at least a dozen different languages become american citizens in a ceremony at monticello, where the speakers were themselves children of immigrants. inspiring stuff and a vivid illustration of what reactionaries want to snuff out

Yes!

Our only hope is that Biden and his administration manage to stay in office. He should immediately appoint 3 or more members to SCOTUS. Thomas and Alito are both in their 70s. They can't last long. We can start building back our democracy. The immunity ruling is against 1A. #VOTEBLUEToSaveOurLives

More proof that Clarence Thomas isn't qualified to be a Supreme Court Justice.

"No former President has faced criminal prosecution for his acts while in office in the more than 200 years since the founding of our country.” What a fucking clown. Did thomas forget about nixon? He may have resigned his presidency b4 he was prosecuted, but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t facing it.

Obamacare... Medicare All will go if Trump wins.

The Washington Post seems to be providing the darkness that democracy dies in, in this ridiculous article about President Biden. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Biden and aides concede he needs to quickly demonstrate his fitness for officewww.washingtonpost.com Critics have been shaken by his relative inaction to directly address the panic ignited by his halting debate performance last Thursday.

It just scares the absolute shit out of me that so many usually level-headed people are losing their minds over what comes down to one bad debate performance by an octogenarian with a head cold.

How dare Clarence Thomas, a sleazy politician posing as a supreme Court justice, question legitimacy of Jack Smith's appointment! Clarence Thomas has zero moral authority. www.newsweek.com/clarence-tho...

Clarence Thomas goes after Jack Smith in Supreme Court rulingwww.newsweek.com Thomas questioned the legitimacy of Jack Smith's appointment as the Supreme Court ruled that Donald Trump is partially immune from prosecution.

This debate was an open door Trump Lie Fest... Not a debate. What does one debate with a Convicted felon?

Brilliant!

I really struggle with this. On travel I see lots of doggos that are treated rough (e.g., chained outside with no water, having to deal with loud sounds and lots of stimulation, generally not looking well) - and it really does make me sad. If I ever find a Genie lamp, one wish is for world doggos.
