Hey MSNBC ??? - SHUT THE FUCK UP !!!

Biden should have given this speech a year ago


This is the speech President Joe Biden should have given a year ago.

In a barely 10-minute address to the nation from behind the Resolute Desk Wednesday night, Biden put a bow on his decision to abandon his cratering reelection campaign.

Biden, still recovering from Covid, spoke haltingly and at times seemed to slur his words — sometimes repeating sentences with the words rearranged a bit. Even when boasting of his administration’s accomplishments, there was a mournful tenor in his voice. He looked exposed.



Apparently, MSNBC doesnt want Kamala to be the Nominee...


If Biden had given this speech a year ago — telling members of his own party to vote for someone else and thanking Americans for their faith in him — he’d have done far less damage to his administration’s credibility, and he would have enabled a competitive primary process.

2. I doubt it. I think Harris jumping in right now on fire is way tougher on Trump than if they had a whole extra year.

They have to counter her right now and if they fuck up, no time to recover. It might be by accident, but this may have unfolded at just the right time.

I was halfway scared if Trump had something happen earlier to make him drop out that republicans would have enough time to get someone else up and running.

The entire year would have been a shit show with everybody (many) trying to figure out how to leap-frog Kamala without alienating a major voting bloc. Itś a tad late to tell them to go sit in the back of the bus, ya know ?

The right does not have a monopoly on racism and sexism.

Fuck... the dude just did one of the hardest things in the world. And did it with grace and humility.

They wait 5 minutes and put this shit out ?

Grrr...

I just get so tired of our own allies stepping on our own messages.


Guess Will Rogers was correct.

10. They're just feeling defensive about accusations of a party coup.

Harris is brought to us by the Biden-Harris campaign.

Biden pointed his delegates to her with his endorsement.

It was very efficiently done and being ratified by acclimation.

Nothing whatsoever to feel defensive about.

Such accusations originate from disgruntled Trump supporters who know they have lost the election.

“We’re at that bridge to the future, now. Look at the other ticket, featuring a 78-year-old former president and a 39-year-old senator with less than two years of experience in office. Trump’s decision to pick Sen. JD Vance is MAGA’s passing of the torch. And if they win on Election Day, this country could be forever changed in a terrible way.

We can’t know yet what will happen in November. But a few weeks ago, Biden seemed almost certainly on a path to a crushing defeat. Instead, his early exit means there is now a much better chance that his work can and will be continued — and his legacy not destroyed.
