so the position at stake is most powerful man in the world and the finalists are the guy being asked to prove he's still alive, the guy who everyone's sure was besties with the international sex trafficker, and the guy trying to convince everyone he's not a cannibal, good times

Have you ever herd of such a thing?

Voters want evidence that Biden can ACTIVELY adapt to #SCOTUS' treasonous trumpery by using #officialact powers. 😖 Instead, he vows to "stay the course" (per 1 term loser George HW Bush) Yes, changing horses at this late date is risky but bland, ineffective inaction highlights an aged rigidity.

I will vote 🔵 no matter who. However, #Biden has little to no upside unless he uses his new #officialact powers - 😳😤which he clearly states he won't. Yes, change at this late date is risky, but so is "staying the course", 1 term loser GHW Bush's bland, ineffective strategy.

🚨NEWS: Months ago, a Democratic congressman tried to warn party leaders about Biden's rapid decline. Democratic leaders responded by subjecting the lawmaker to a "quiet throat-slitting" - and then launching a campaign to eject him from Congress.

After 14 years of corruption, destruction, chaos and misrule, today, 4th July, is our Independence Day.

I, too, will vote 🔵 no matter who. However, #Biden has little to no upside unless he uses his new #officialact powers - 😳😤which he clearly states he won't. Yes, change at this late date is risky, but so is "staying the course", 1 term loser GHW Bush's bland, ineffective strategy.

In sum: Biden now, RIGHT NOW, has #officialact powers and won;t use them. 😳😳😳 WON'T USE THEM!!! Yet he acknowledges Trump WILL use them. This is not "gentlemanly" or "Presidential"; it's STUPID & FOSSILIZED. (Continued)

Laying out how awful Trump was worked for Biden in 2020 -😳but just barely and while Trump was happening to them.😳This same approach, by itself, will NOT work again in 2024 as Americans have VERY short memories. A greatly diminished Biden + Trump as monster approach will = DEFEAT in November.

If you are against the use of force until fascists take over, you won't be able to do anything with force after they do.

Yes, Trump has been legally determined to be a rapist. Because too many people somehow don’t seem to know this. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Analysis | Judge clarifies: Yes, Trump was found to have raped E. Jean Carrollwww.washingtonpost.com What the jury found Donald Trump did to E. Jean Carroll was in fact rape, as commonly understood, even if it didn't fit New York law's narrow definition, says Judge Lewis A. Kaplan.

🤔Would you stick with Biden AS THE 🔵 NOMINEE even if the polls continue to show him losing in the Battleground States, by a margin outside the standard error of measure, by the end of July? 😳If so, 1. do you know what the 'standard error of measure is'? 2. How accurate 2020 polls were?
