To further credit President Biden's accumen

This speedy attraction of support among Democratic pols has been so seemingly seamless (so far) that one suspects they've been working on this contingency for some time. I could be wrong, but I had the nightmare scenario in mind where finding a candidate with as-close-to across the board approval in a timely fashion was beyond possible. I was in a shitty-ass mood yesterday, but I feel so much better today. Credit to President Biden and Vice President Harris.

Here's what I'm going to tell people from now on

when they tell me the Most Successful Peacetime President is "too old."

Saying the Most Successful Peacetime President is too old is like saying he's too white, or he's too Catholic, or he's too rich, or he's too poor.

I consider myself lucky to be alive under the Most Successful Peacetime President. I would have never imagined who the Most Successful Peacetime President would be back in the days when he was merely a Senate Judiciary chair leading confirmation hearings on controversial SCOTUS nominees. I would never imagined who the Most Successful Peacetime President would be when he first ran for president in 1988. I would have never imagined who the Most Successful Peacetime President would be when he was elected vice president. I thought the Most Successful Peacetime President would have retired from politics following his role as arguable one of the Most Successful Vice Presidents in our country's history. When his term of vice president was followed by the worst president in American history, the Most Successful Peacetime President re-entered politics and defeated the worst president in American history.

Now the Most Successful Peacetime President is pitted in an election against the worst president in American history. Ordinarily we would just be faced with that decision between two men of totally divergent calibers, but now a contingent of "allies" of the Most Successful Peacetime President are requesting the Most Successful Peacetime President to exit the race for fear that he can't defeat the worst president in American history. Abetting this coup against the Most Successful Peacetime President is the news media that has given up on covering just what made the worst president in American history the worst president in American history, instead relentlessly focusing on the coup to remove the Most Successful Peacetime President who has rightfully won the nomination of his party.

I stand behind the Most Successful Peacetime President for several reasons. First average approval ratings for presidents have been trending down since the last century so approval is not an indicator of an incumbent's chances. Second, Democrats and Democratic policies have been outperforming polls since 2018. Third, incumbents are usually down in polls before elections. So this move to push the Most Successful Peacetime President off the ticket is being committed by people who should know better. Their disloyalty is far more damaging to the the Most Successful Peacetime President than any poll. And if the Most Successful Peacetime President loses this next election to the worst president in American history, we'll have that cadre to thank.

Just as I fell lucky to be alive under the Most Successful Peacetime President, I'm nervous over what will happen now that people I've respected are throwing the Most Successful Peacetime President under the bus.

In case you doubt this is a coordinated hit job against Joe Biden

Both candidates running for president in 2024 have big negatives. The "news" media is only focusing on those of Joe Biden. We know that both Republican and independent voters said they would not vote for the rapist if he were convicted and in June he was. Check out this Politico article.

Check out this Wiki compilation of those elite class Republicans who said they wouldn't support the rapist in 2024.

And we all remember this organization.

There is no one that I have seen who has followed up on ANY of the segments of independents and republicans who want the rapist out of the race. The heap on Joe Biden is intentional media malpractice. I know others here have made allegations which go way too deep for my pay level, but the pass being given to an utter psychopath is an indication that our mainstream media is part of the pro-white establishment.

Dear Lester Holt,

Asking what President Biden is doing to bring down the temperature on the rhetoric is classic both-sidesing you hack. It presumes that POTUS has done anything to raise the temperature and he hasn't and you couldn't come up with any examples yourself. Maybe you need a cognitive test.

Love,
Me

I hope they dr. oz the Fuck out of j.d. vance

They should pepper in some callbacks to Mittens and Bain Capital.

What's this guy's pitch? "With a little hard work, you too can become a venture capitalist, raise costs to cover profit expectations, and freeze wages"?

I can't wait to see how he tries to thread the needle on how to attack the vice president in their debate. I hope three huge flies buzz around his head this time.

The off-the-the-charts both-sidesing

Just heard on MSNBC by a "reporter" (paraphrasing).

The conspiracies are abounding on both sides. You have Republican lawmakers blaming the shooting on Democrats and the rhetoric of President Biden with absolutely no evidence to that. And then you have a top aide to a Democratic lawmaker who was fired for posting in social media that it was too bad the shooter missed.

Talk about false equivalencies. I won't even go into how faulty this comparison is.

Violence Breaks Out at Fringe Political Rally

A gathering of fringe conspiracy theorists and gun enthusiasts in Pennsylvania was disrupted when a shooter fired an AR-15 killing one attendee and injuring three, including the speaker on stage. More as this develops.

In a normal world, that's how this would be teated.

President Joe Biden is calling out the press in Detroit!

"Donald Trump is getting a free pass!"

He then went into a litany of the crazy shit the rapist has said recently. The crowd also booed when he mentioned the press.

"We're gonna do what the press hasn't. We're gonna call out Donald Trump for what he is."

And he just used the word rape.

Was thinking "this would be a good time to hear from the Lincoln Project"

I went to their website to see if they've responded to all the debate noise. What I found is that their most recent posting of ads and news was from May

I hope they're still in the game. The more loud Republican/former Republican voices against the rapist, the better. I also find it appalling that "honorable" people like John Kelly will rat out the rapist in a book for money, but won't speak out about it. It boggles my mind that in finding the rapist unfit, he refuses to say any more.
