2024 Presidential Election Thread

How so?

As in an election cycle boogeyman.  

If I were KJP I'd step down right now, write my book and then go on my book selling speaking tour. She'd be making much more money and a lot less stress. 

I don't know how anybody would want that position, regardless of political affiliations. Just the worst!

It isn’t like she’s the sharpest knife in the drawer. 

lol did Biden really introduce Zelensky as Putin?

This media turn is one of the craziest things I’ve seen. They tried so hard to pretend it wasn’t happening and then after one bad debate they all start spiraling. More people are coming out who were at the Juneteenth thing and saying he was clearly off there as well (as well as other events). You really can’t hate the media enough.

It's all performative, too, CNN being the worst actors. Well, the Oscar would go to Joe Scarborough who in two months:

- F you if you can't handle the truth. This Joe Biden is the best there ever was!

- It's time for Biden to consider his age and ability and think about if he can make it another 4 years.

- I fully support Joe Biden to save our democracy, fuck yeah!

Good god, just shut it down already. 

He reminds me of talking to my 78yo father in law. Coincidentally we visited him in the hospital last month and he repeatedly called our daughter by my wife’s name despite us correcting him every time. Maybe he can run for president, too. 

We collectively pinched our noses and voted for one of these clowns four years ago thinking surely it’ll be better/different in 2024 and instead ended up right back here again. 

Can’t believe there’s no one younger and/or less weird to be leader of the country.

Well, Biden was supposed to be "transitional", but hard to let go of the power I guess.

Irony is we've had to tolerate 4 years of Biden, and we're probably STILL going to end up with another 4 years of Trump, anyway, which means it was all for nothing.

Funny watching them all try to pat themselves on the back for "holding our leaders accountable".  Bullshit, they were gaslighting us right up until the debate.  It's only when it became clear Biden will most likely lose the election that they started discussing the obvious.

LOL, and in other news that same media is trying to distract us with the "2025 Project" or whatever the heck you call it.  Funny how all this stuff is supposed to be "mainstream", but if not for the liberal media I wouldn't know it because I haven't seen anything on Fox or WSJ.

Then there someone apparently just started making shit up about Trump and Epstein, except the court records were just released and there's no a single mention of Trump.

Also, I saw 3 lead prosecutors in the Russia Collusion investigation, along with Fusion GPS (the manufacturers of The Dossier) have a book coming out.  Pretty impressive to score a book deal for blatant lies and propaganda.  But I suppose no different than Trump hocking bibles and sneakers to suckers.

Just wait another 2-3 weeks when they do another 180 after accepting that Biden won’t step down.  By August we should hear about how fit Biden is to be president.

So, apparently after last night, we knew the same thing we knew going into last night: That the main contenders for the presidency are two old, mentally-addled codgers who are good at fucking up names.

I think the Dems will stick with Biden just long enough to get him reelected and then he'll resign so that Kamala can be president. Dems have been dry humping the progressive stack (re-labeled as DEI for marketing purposes) and this would get them stroking off in public.

I made a cash bet that Biden would win and I am still standing by that. Merit has no benefit, it's about the optics.

As far as press secretary, I'm not sure it's the difficult and stressful job made out to be.  You just go out there and Baghdad Bob every question.  It's not transparent or honest, so you just need to be a sharp sociopath framing non-answers as the appropriate response to the "gotchya" questions.

KJP just isn't quick on her feet, though she does channel the same dismissive arrogance that Psaki had.  But Psaki was just much more formidable because she knew what, for example, Peter Doocy would ask and had her smackdown already formulated.  Psaki would just pretend every tough question was a rightwing conspiracy not worthy of a serious response.

Not only did he introduce Zelensky as Putin, but in the same day called his VP "Trump" rather than Harris directly after he was asked about if his VP Harris could run/win/do the job.

How close are we to the media doing a U-turn on the biden family bribery/extortion/tax evasion scheme?  You'll know they believe he is going to lose when they bring that card out to try and get him to step aside. 

Whoah!

If the power behind Biden survives this struggle the media will dutifully fall back in line.  

Just fatigue and why should Biden lower himself to debate a felon a second time?

Judge Cannon has dismissed the charges against Trump. This is the official classified documents case in Florida.

Looks like Trump has picked Vance for VP. Was a “never trump” guy in 2016.

This doesn't move my vote in any way. Ugh!
