America & the World V: DOGE Business

[Neon Ignition]

I'm finding the media's dogged focus on Bidens wordings increasingly frustrating. They're not new and a massive pish is clearly being made meanwhile they've all but stopped paying any attention to what Trump's saying. I'd let a rabid dog be President to avoid the literal threat they're clearly supporting.

I saw a good post earlier:
"I dunno man. If I knew a guy with 34 felonies who'd been om Epstein's plane 7 times... I'd probably not like... trust him a whole lot."

"I dunno man. If I knew a guy with 34 felonies who'd been on Epstein's plane 7 times... and is a convicted sexual abuser...I'd probably not like... trust him a whole lot."

I'd bring this bit up too if it were my quote, as I think it's worse than the other two bits. Really weird how he leans into the Q anon stuff when he pretty much knows he has such strong links to this pedo elite Epstein cabal.

Don't know how I missed the announcement but The Mirage in Vegas is in the process of being shut down ahead of a new Hard Rock hotel taking its place

Yeah it's gonna be similar to the one in Florida. A hotel shaped like a giant guitar.

RIP The Mirage. A classic Strip hotel. I organised a stag there a few years back. A mad few days in a two bedroom penthouse on the top floor. It had its own bar!

Not great at all...but this literally could've been averted four years ago if only Biden had humbled himself enough to commit to being a one-term only President to allow the Democrats to lay the groundwork for a younger candidate to replace him.

Might have something to do with the fact that most of the CEOs for the large media corporations in the US (NBC, ABC, CBS etc) are all Trump doners. Despite the raucious bitching from MAGA supporters that the media is all left wing and anti Trump.

Laugh is, Trump has such a paper thin ego that under a Trump dictatorship these funding CEO's and media bosses would be early casualties to his self-serving whims

They're going to 100% demolish their chances of beating Trump very soon

There's certainly political bias, that's not hidden - but the donations, it's not true.

Such depressing scenes in America.
Overnight Biden called Zelensky "President Putin" and called Kamala Harris "Vice President Trump".
He won't step down so, as Neon said, all the discussion is about his health and cognitive skills.

Trump is calling him "Sleepy Joe", but his campaign are actually dialling down the attacks because they want the weaker candidate to stand, increasing their chance of winning.

Even people like George Clooney, who is a major supporter of the Democrats and Biden previously are asking him to stand down because he's increasing the chance of Trump returning, which is a terrifying thought.

[Dogg Thang]

It's a no-win situation now. These are too consistent from Biden now and he is showing himself clearly to be unfit. And yet to run a new candidate now would be a nightmare scenario. Kamala Harris likely can't win due to the obvious misogyny and racism in the country. Rallying behind someone else at this point would be incredibly hard. It's going to fall apart.

And yet all that said, even if Biden didn't know who he is for most of the day, I'd take him over Trump.

[wakka]

It's a nightmare scenario honestly. I was watching a video of Biden from 2010. He was a completely different person. He is clearly so much diminished and it could not have come at a worse possible moment. I honestly don't care about his physical fitness to run the country if he could at least win, since the country would simply be run by the team around him. The only thing that matters is keeping Trump out of the White House in order that the Democrats have five years to regroup for 2029. But polling shows that undecided voters in swing states are reacting poorly and it's these people that will decide the outcome. And it's looking like they could swing R or stay home and allow Trump to flip those states.

It's a terrible, terrible situation.

[Lebowski]

It's four months away and that's a lifetime in politics, a lot can happen in four months, so get on it now pull Biden out and frame it as making a hard choice for the good of the party and to give the US the best chance at a strong leader who's not old who's not senile and who's not a criminal.

[wakka]

If it's going to be Harris, the best thing they could do is make her president as soon as possible by standing Biden down. Three to four months of incumbency will be extremely valuable and will help to make her feel less of an unknown quantity to swing state voters.
