Did you all HEAR how RACHEL described what JOE did? ? ? ? ?

[Eliot Rosewater]

He waited until the most divisive jackass felon in the world (my words, not hers) to nominate the 2nd most divisive jackass Woman hater in the world as his VP, waited for him to LOCK IT IN before dropping the BOOM on him...



OMG, we are going to WIPE out the gop scum UP and DOWN the ticket...

And Joe Biden DESERVED this type of loyalty also but then performed the single greatest act of sacrifice of any American EVER...

GENIUS

[anciano]

1. Biden was playing chess,

while watching the magats play checkers.

[dchill]

2. Maybe they were just playing craps.

[sboatcar]

13. more like three card monty

[dchill]

14. Yep

[dflprincess]

26. Or rope a dope?

[Probatim]

34. Playing with themselves...

[calimary]

36. Yep. THIS.

All they care about is self-gratification - any way you define it.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

44. Makes me think of the line from the movie SLAPSHOT with Paul Newman...

About a semi-pro Hockey team and the Hansons.

Strother Martin's character says to Paul Newman's..."They're(the Hansons) are playing with their toys!"

Newman's character replies, "Better than playing with themselves."

[Eliot Rosewater]

3. I said all along I did NOT believe the reporting that he was bent out of shape by this

and I still believe that.

He didnt want to run in the first place the first time. He did it to SAVE America. He will save us AGAIN as RAchel said.

[Talitha]

33. More like 3-D Chess vs Tiddlywinks.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

4. Those running for office down ballot also owe Joe Biden a lot of gratitude.

Now go and save our Democratic principled Republic.

[Hope22]

41. Yup...

And they better work like #ell, no excuses now!

[XanaDUer2]

5. I got chills

Rachel (MSNBC): "Joe Biden will be the man who saved America from Donald Trump not just once, but twice."

[Eliot Rosewater]

6. Like we use to day in the 70's

FUCKIN A

[Mme. Defarge]

11. Far out, man!

[leftyladyfrommo]

7. I think all the top dems and Biden were in

on this. They simply completely outplayed the whole Trump circus.

It just seemed really off to me when all of Biden's longtime friends and associates were calling for him to step down.

Well played!

[Eliot Rosewater]

10. YEP...and I have promised NOT to be negative so I wont respond to anyone here (not you)

who says stupid shit...

I will just LAUGH at the ASSHOLES

[moonscape]

12. This doesn't make sense to me

though. More clever would have been not to be so divisive and then let Biden announce his decision based on whatever, keeping bad feelings more at bay.

I don’t believe all of this was an act: him determined to run, pushing back, feeling somewhat betrayed. That’s unhealthy divisive stuff for the party to go through if it was just gaslighting.

[leftyladyfrommo]

15. We will be able to tell after a few news cycles.

But I do love the idea.

It would make a really good movie plot right up there with The Sting.

[Gaytano70]

19. Maybe the idea of "Dems in Disarray " was the cover needed?

I agree that how I saw Joe being treated was disgusting, vile, and I was close to losing my mind.
I will always be grateful for President Joe Biden for many reasons.
But I will also say, the energy I feel about (hopefully) voting for Kamala Harris at the top of the ticket, gives me immense hope!
Yes We Kam!

[ms liberty]

32. Yea, if this was all a set up, it would make them manipulative aholes

For doing it to their own base. I don't think Joe would do that, I would hope none of our other Dems would do it either, but I don't know anymore.

[krkaufman]

42. A greater plan for reform

Before you get too mad at them, it needs to be said that they were certainly doing this, also, as a push for electoral reform, to demonstrate that a Presidential election needn’t be a multi-year spectacle and could be managed more efficiently, like a snap election in the UK.

Well, it’s as plausible as the “it was all planned” nonsense.

[krkaufman]

39. Rest assured ...

… that your perception likely adheres more closely to reality. Next thing we’ll read is that Biden’s debate performance was all an act, and that everything that followed was strictly according to some grand scheme … and that the party looking incompetent was a necessary sacrifice.

[Prairie Gates]

8. Good Lord

[Kingofalldems]

9. I am beginning to think it was planned as well.

[leftyladyfrommo]

16. Never underestimate Nancy Pelosi. Or Biden.

They are just amazing.

[Eliot Rosewater]

18. I was sure Nancy was on to something, it is why I asked about it the other day here.

That maybe they planned this makes me almost worship them...

[leftyladyfrommo]

21. And the Obamas were completely silent.

Nothing made sense.

[Eliot Rosewater]

23. And I am sure Joe was not thrilled that he was under fire the day after the debate, but he was

ALWAYS only about country...

Always...I just couldnt be more A. proud of him and B. thrilled that Kamala is now going to KICK ASS AND CLEAN HOUSE

[leftyladyfrommo]

30. Have we heard from MTG yet? This is going

to get good.
.

[lastlib]

46. Well, I heard a gurgling noise.....thought it was my toilet.....

So it could've been Miss Three-Toes.....

[riversedge]

51. Neither Nancy Pelosi nor Obama have endorsed Kamala Harris at this point. Not sure

things are starting to make sense yet.

[edisdead]

17. I got around to thinking that later today too.

smart to do it after they married themselves to the dumpster fires

[mcar]

20. I'm feeling much better

Blessings on our noble president and let's go VP Harris!

[Eliot Rosewater]

22. I now believe that while Joe deserved to win BIG, Kamala will...and I mean BIG

[Arthur_Frain]

24. I adore your optimism

In my fantasy he loses by 20 million votes. But I’ve lived through any number of elections I thought the cons should have lost horribly.

[Eliot Rosewater]

25. tHANKS AND YES LETS BE POSITIVE

It is a new thing for me...

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

27. Yup, well played!!

[bucolic_frolic]

28. Eliot you're making me nervous, you're never positive about anything /nt

[Eliot Rosewater]

35. Oh yeah?

That made me laugh out loud I needed that thank you

[0rganism]

29. we should be so fortunate

When I ask myself if there's historical precedent for electing divisive jackasses of various stripes, I see a long tradition going back to the early days of the nation. The history of parties that lose their nominees after the primary election? I don't recall them having much success, but it's pretty rare anyway so perhaps it's not always a big deal. Anyway, I wouldn't bet the farm on a blowout for our side.

Shout out to POTUS Biden though, I'm with you on that.

[PatrickforB]

31. Totally! We've been glued to MSNBC. n/t

[IronLionZion]

37. I hope that was the plan

Since the GOP convention and attacks were mostly against Biden's age. Now this news should drown out their convention bump. And we still have our convention in a month and time to energize our voters.

I hope Biden was in on it the whole time and wasn't pushed out. This is a risky and bold strategy. It gets tons of publicity. And hoping for tons of newly registered young voters who would like to elect a woman over the 2 woman-haters.

Things will get really interesting if Harris selects a woman VP. Gretchen Whitmer could bring Michigan. Then there's Mark Kelly if we want a white man from Arizona with a very compelling life story.

[KS Toronado]

38. Exactly what I've said several times today.

Biden waited until the R's locked in their front runners. With old being such a huge issue we now
have someone 20 years younger, time we start talking about age.

[Eliot Rosewater]

40. Actually when it comes to dumbshit the traitor, his age is a small part of it.

He is dumb. Uneducated. Can barely read. Is a liar. Is a thief. I could go on.

But yeah...lets talk about it

[KS Toronado]

45. Here's the rest of what I've been saying.

Biden has a good grip on the political winds, well aware TSF will probably try something to steal the
election, possible throw it to the House to vote on and pick a winner?

And the President between election day and Jan 21 might have to make some very serious calls, like
I can do whatever I want because the Supreme Court gave me immunity, so arrest that insurrectionist
and that insurrectionist and all those people over there, maybe even Martial Law to control all the Rs
out in the streets wanting a bloodbath.

Believe Biden and his inner circle know something and that they will never tell the public before
election day, meanwhile Kamala can say look my hands are clean.

Biden has known for some time he was going to hand the keys over to Kamala, and all these Democrats
supposedly turning on Biden was no more than a well orchestrated plan for us to be headlining
the news for a change instead of the stupid fuck. Biden played MSM like a fiddle.

[skydive forever]

43. Don't. Get. Happy.

[Sogo]

47. One might say Joe just defeated Trump !

Biden deserves a monumental place in history!!

[Iris]

49. I believe he has secured that for sure.

[Iris]

48. I had that same thought this evening. Today's coverage knocked Trump, the ass. attempt and the R convention

completely off the radar.

[NoMoreRepugs]

50. Does it matter who said what, checkers, chess, manipulation, some Machiavellian

strategy? JoeB is standing aside, saying he thinks KHarris is the person for the job - period. Why debate what happened and why - it’s done - let’s work like hell to beat the SlobFather - period, end of story.

[Maru Kitteh]

52. I had this thought also. The timing for the Trump campaign is BRUTAL.

And that's why they are SO PISSED! They're "losing their water" over there as my grandmother would have said.

[Sibelius Fan]

53. Nice spin from Rachel. I'll believe it when I hear it confirmed by the Biden campaign.

[wordstroken]

54. Brilliant!
