    I agree with you.  The only thing I'll add is that the Presidential candidates have the megaphone.  

    This actually worked well in 2020 and 2022.  Biden led the message that Trump is a threat to democracy.  The message was echoed and augmented by lots and lots of winning Democratic candidates.  Talking about all the specific threats to democracy - and the working class  - in hundreds of pages of authoritarian crap written by (name lots of former Trump White House and department employees) is exactly the right message.

    Biden's weakness hasn't been governing - he's been a competent and consequential president - it's been in campaigning. Biden has not been able to hit the broad side of Trump's barn of lies with a coherent message.

    I've said this before, Biden isn't only running against Trump, he's also running against the former campaigner in chief Obama. Democrats got used to a cool articulate candidate who represented a generational change. It's unusual in politics to go back to an older generation (the elderly Trump and Biden) once that generational change has happened.

    @RockyRoadTravel, I think you misread the poll ?   The 86% is Dems wanting Trump to drop out for a diff candidate. 

    You're right. I made a mistake. I've corrected the mistake now. 

    I'm doing what the New York Times does, and FOX opinion never does.  Admit a mistake and correcting it.

    Keep peddling your numbers Emmet Kornacki.... In the end, it will all mean shit as the Dems are victorious, rejecting Trump and his MAGA dictatorship.   Everything Vance told Americans last night was bullshit,   Vance is a very lucky opportunist who fucked Peter Thiel, and for that, Thiel bankrolled him.... Vance still HATES Trump but is willing to "swallow" for the sake of Power.   He sees himself the next President, which he could possibly be IF he doesnt end up in jail first ?.  

    I don't think Vance hates Trump.  He might not respect his incompetence, or his laziness, but I doubt he hates him. I could see Vance admiring Trump's ability to lie without remorse and peddle bullshit as if it was fact. 

    I expect Vance wants to learn from the master. Replace the master of course - he is ambitious - and throw Trump under the bus later in life if that suits is narrative of the moment.

    The dems are in total disarray. Keep Dementia Joe? Dump Dementia Joe? What to do about Cackles?
    Meanwhile, the GOP is more united than ever. Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis all spoke glowingly of Donald Trump.

    This election will be a Trump landslide. If you don't believe me, ask Botox Pelosi, Cryin' Chuck Schumer, Pencil-Neck Schiff, Hakeem SEKOU Jeffries, etc.

    Six attempts to insult people you don't know.  Is there an MAGA Award for that behavior?  The Excremee

    Thank you again for your post. It's always good to get the conspiracy opinion from the MAGA echo chamber without having to get my feet wet in your swamp. 

    In the same letter John Adams says:  "Science and Morals are the great Pillars on which this Country has been raised to its present population, Oppulence and prosperity, and these alone, can advance, Support and preserve it." 

    The extremist majority on the Supreme Court with their Christian equivalent of Sharia Law are out of step with the Founding Fathers' separation of church and state.

    It seems now almost impossible for Biden to stay in the race.  

    There was some recent poll Harry Enten was blabbing about on CNN a few weeks ago showing a majority of Democrats want Biden to stay in the race.  Biden certainly used that to argue this was just about elitists picking on him, not regular Democrats.

    But there are now multiple polls, one Ipsos and one the AP/NORC poll above, showing 2 in 3 Democrats want Biden out.  You can't win an election when two-thirds of your own party would prefer not to vote for you!

    Schumer apparently told him he should drop out this weekend, according to ABC.  Pelosi seems to be kind of saying, "President Biden is dropping out of the race, and he needs to decide when he is going to decide that."  Politics is a team sport.  And if your team is increasingly making it clear they are  no longer is with you, there's not much Biden can do.

    By the way, 51 % of Independents want Trump to drop out,  too.  If Biden does drop out, that becomes an immediate problem for Trump.

    Amongst the stats you posted, the most telling one to me is that 86% of Democrats want Trump to continue as the Republican candidate for President. A majority of Americans may be nervous about Biden's age, but a majority of Americans hate Trump, his incompetence, his hate-spewing name calling and threats of violence.  

  7. The statement of the widow of the firefighter who was killed at the defeated former President's rally was interesting. Given the current climate and hate spewing by Trump, her words were measured. She declined to speak with Biden when he called, and also said that she had no ill will towards Biden. She said Biden didn't kill her husband, it was the 20 year old man who killed her husband. She declined to speak with Biden because her husband was a devout (her words) Trump supported.  Devout. Think about that.

    Actually, it is Dementia Joe Biden's Secret Service that is in charge of protecting the President. Even you should know that.
    The head of the Secret Service, Kimberley Cheatle, like so many of Biden's other hires is a totally unqualified DEI hire.
    You are totally lost and incoherent when not linking to msn.com. How many times do I have to tell you!

    Thank you again for posting.  You continue to demonstrate the inability of any extremist MAGA acolyte to voice any critique of the former defeated President.  In the cult are you just not allowed to consider multiple opinions?  Must you only parrot the Dear Leader's words?

    This iconic photo, which will propel Trump to the White House, will be in every US history book for the next 500 years. It will be found in the Chapter: MAGA COURAGE

    Yes.  Caption will be:  Draft dodger finally takes a bullet.  

    Please keep posting content where you highlight the defeated former President's hypocrisy. I'm sure every veteran who Trump has mocked and every Gold Star family he has degraded will have their reality confirmed with the defeated former President acting as con man huckster.   

    Brava - keep up the good work.

    I've got a bet with a friend:  When will the defeated former President start to compare himself to Lincoln? The winner donates $50 to a homeless shelter, in recognition of the damage conservative economics has had on the American middle and working classes.

    Musk is just guaranteeing that he will have Trump by the balls in he wins....  Musk is Buying the Presidency.     There needs to be CAPS on political donations. 

    The Conservatives  on the Supreme Court opened the flood gates of dark money into politics with that nonsense decision Citizens' United (against democracy). 

  12. Some historical figures really are incredible. Teddy Roosevelt. He was hit in the chest with a bullet and finished his speech. 

    Lesser candidates came up with bogus medical excuses - bone spurs - to dodge the draft. A conscientious observer is one thing, risking prison time, but a bogus medical excuse from your dad's tenant?  Sad.  

  13. I read Vance's Hillbilly Elegy. I always assumed he was able to come up with enough reflection to write a book because he had found a supportive wife.  Those were the days when he was highly critical of the defeated former President - Vance compared Trump to Hitler at one point.

    I wonder what the former serviceman thinks of Trump the draft dodger and his bone spurs, and Trumps distain for people who serve their country. Ambition is a powerful drug. 

  14. Finally she makes a decision that can be appealed.  With the date, had she preplanned this as a gift  to the former defeated President before the Republican convention, or is she hiding the decision under the cover of the shooting? 

    How quickly can the 11th Circuit take up her decision, and reverse it again (for a 3rd time)?  Would it then, finally be reassigned to a Judge?

    Apparently, Trumps Pennsylvania rally lunacy has turned out to be sort of a git to President Biden.   Media sources have turned their attention away from the topic of Biden being replaced,  and by the time they back back to THAT topic, it will be too late for the Dems to actually replace him....   Although, we dont know what conversations are still going on in the Dems camp.     Hopefully the Dems can make some lemonade out of the lemons Trump and his team just gave them,  if they even know how to do that ?  

    I hope there will be a full review by Secret Service, FBI and whatever other law enforcement agencies needed to figure out how this was able to happen, so it doesn't happen again. 

    The Biden Administration has an opportunity here to take charge of the narrative, and provide a non-politicized conspiracy soak (FOX opinion's forte) explanation. 

    The big issue here is gun violence as the unique American pandemic that it is. The defeated former President is a data point in the thousands of mass shooting, school slaughters, and movie theatre massacres that is the "normal" promoted by the NRA and MAGA extremists.

    Trump didn't deserve to be assassinated. He deserves to be defeated, again, by the majority of voting Americans who reject his incompetence and hate promotion.

    How indecent it is to talk about the personality of the author instead of discussing the facts. However, I'm not surprised.

    Did someone do that with you?  I asked a simple question.  

  17. 16 hours ago, stevenkesslar said:

    That makes more sense.  Trump no doubt thought it was a bullet.  But it's hard to imagine if it struck his ear it would not have done more damage.

    Thank God the shooter missed.  An assassination would have plunged us into true chaos.  All the grown ups are denouncing political violence.  Hopefully this cools down some of the violent rhetoric being used.

    You're telling us this was an assassination attempt on Trump's teleprompter?  That's making more sense. 

  18. The gun man was killed on site. We'll soon learn about who he is and what his motivations were. It could be any one from an extreme right-wing Christian upset about Trump weaseling out of a position on abortion, to an unpaid contractor.  Who knows?  I'll join Governor Shapiro in speaking out against gun violence. 

    If the world is in need of a conspiracy though, the obvious choice is Melania.

    My evidence? It is NewYork Times and Reuters evidence :)

    So, when you vote for Biden, you fulfill Putin's wish :)

    I'm glad you have such high regard for the New York Times and Reuters.  Do you know what reporting is though?
