Another despicable speech. What a complete and total disaster this presidency is.
Lincoln Brown
Earlier in the day, I warned readers that Biden was set to make Wednesday night about democracy. Well, I watched Custard’s Last Stand. On the upside, I need to lose a little weight and now I have no appetite. I thought I would address my reaction to the ersatz commander-in-chief:
Dear Mr. President,
First of all, the United States of America is not a democracy. Dear God, that is Civics 101. America is a republic. It was designed as a republic because the framers knew that democracies could easily descend into mob rule. That includes mobs you like. More on that later.
Secondly, the man who attacked Paul Pelosi is a mentally ill drug addict whose interests and intentions were all over the map. I don’t see you shedding any tears for the people who face these lunatics every single day on city streets. But your people found enough to get back on the MAGA horse.
Speaking of that, and mobs…
Third, no one is buying ”MAGA Republicans” anymore. You’ve ridden said horse into the ground. It’s dead. Leave it be. It was not the vast majority of Republicans who stormed the Capitol on January 6. It wasn’t even the majority of people at the rally. But you just can’t leave it alone. Americans, sir, have been struggling with increasing crime under the watch of you and your counterparts, and they have very few tears left to shed for the protected class who, for a few hours out of one day, felt threatened. And frankly, sir, you and your party have trotted out the routine so many times that any dramatic value it may have had is lost on everyone but yourselves and your pet media. Nary a word from you about the sieges in cities by anarchists or the threats against a Supreme Court justice. You cry crocodile tears over J6 and talk about unifying a nation while finding any reason to raid the homes of abortion opponents and ignore the destruction of pregnancy centers.
Democracy versus autocracy, you say? Who but an autocrat would weaponize the Department of Justice to terrorize his political opponents, cast concerned parents as domestic terrorists, and even try to find ways to criminalize election rhetoric he doesn’t like? Who but an autocrat would freeze energy production in his own country, raid the reserves, and flirt with nationalizing the oil industry?
We won’t know the results until a few days after the election? I’ve been voting since 1985. Going back as far as I can remember (Al Gore aside), most elections have been finished on Election Day. It is patently obvious to anyone with half a brain at their disposal that your handlers, speech writers, and members of the Democratic upper echelon are setting the scene to buy time. After all, Big Tech needs to sow the seeds of doubt, and hell, you might just skeeve your way out of this one, if the vote is close enough.
Please tell me that "Custard's Last Stand" is referring to some gaffe Biden made. Because if not, man, that dude is too stupid for me to even pretend to take seriously.
It is a multitude of gaffes per day but the Marxist puppet masters keep trotting him out there.
Just can’t imagine why oil companies don’t want to invest in more infrastructure…

Go visit Caracas and explain to them how we now have it just like they do. I’m sure they’d agree with you.
Red trickle…. Find better candidates. Desantis overwhelming win and Trump supported candidates shit jobs should be obvious what he should do, but we know he won’t.

Disappointing. Everyone bitching about their unhappiness with Biden and inflation/the economy, how these Dem governors crippled their states with shutdowns during COVID, etc yet everything pretty much stays the same.
Maybe don't put up Doctor Oz and Herschel Walker?

Versus that batshit Fetterman? Dude had a stroke a little over a week ago and the Libtards STILL pushed him through.

People really seemed to care about abortion, too.
But all things considered, you'd have to say the Dem overall strategy was pretty effective at minimizing losses.
I'm sure the MAGA candidates helped matters, but the Dems still had to crank up the fear and enthusiasm to get enough voters to beat them.
Anyway, ready for the gridlock and Hunter Biden theater!

Trump will announce he's running next week. My hope is that somehow Desantis gets the nomination. The disdain for Trump is killing the party's chances.
As far as your Hunter Biden comments, I do firmly believe that the last election was stolen by the FBI and social media, suppressing the Hunter Biden info right before the election. I think that would've swung votes red, had the info not been squashed. I don't believe it was stolen by ballot box stuffing or that sort of thing.

I think that's a possibility. The margin was certainly thin enough in GA, NV and WI. I don't know if it was enough to also swing MI or PA, but that would have resulted in a Trump win.
If Trump runs in 2024, the Dems could end up with controlling all 3 again. It was basically already Trump's fault for Dems getting the Senate preventing stalling Biden's agenda.
But LOL at the media already branding Desantis as a "smarter Hitler". That's quite the meteoric rise to go from basically nobody to history's greatest pyschopath in the course of a few years.

May was last week? Good to know, as I fucking hate winter, so anything that puts it off another six months is awesome by me! Still, "stroke victim" still is probably more qualified than "quack made-for-TV 'doctor'".
Big thing was probably simply that Rs overplayed their hand way too early due to Biden's age and weakness and let things like abortion, "don't say gay", etc. be rallying cries, as well as talks about social security cuts. Add into that how Trump's appeal among anyone that isn't pure MAGA seems to really be diminishing and a lot of candidates got weaker since they were so directly tied to him.

My bad. Had heard the stroke was just recently but doesn't change that he's a batshit socialist.

But how sharp does Fetterman have to be to vote the way Schumer tells him to?
