The fix is so in with the media hammering on Biden’s age, it’s going to make “but her emails” look like a casual aside in comparison.

I’ve seen lots of good suggestions about things Biden could do – like announce he’s taking the $300 billion in overdue taxes the IRS expects to collect and put it toward school lunches, etc. Giving people money is always a winning strategy. Make Republicans say feeding kids is bad. Because you know they will. And Biden probably needs to address the issue of age head on, the way JFK did his Catholicism and Obama did with race. The Democrats should also be reminding people Trump is only 3 years younger than Biden.

But really, when it comes to November 2024 and people casting their actual votes, I hope that faced with two candidates they dislike most people will opt for the candidate that scares them less. I mean, I’m not sure an ad with Biden saying something like “Hi, I’m your President, Joe Biden. Sometimes you can go for a couple of weeks without thinking about me or worrying what I’m doing. Do you like that, being able to get on with your own lives, or would you like the other guy back so you can scroll on your phone 10 times a day to see if the world is blowing up?” is such a bad idea.

I confess: up through Bolt's intro I was thinking that this just isn't funny -- I mean, given reality and stuff.

But that channeling of fPOTUS! Sucked the breath right out of the lungs and the up out of the throat and it mouth it was so breath taking.

That said, many people -- well libs of course -- many people say that fake Tubby there doesn't sound that lucid at his rallies. I don't know but many people say. Some even come up to me and say Sir, that fake quote is malarkey which is how I know they're liberal commie marxists traitors destroying this nation.

Oh, sorry, triggered and carried away. I might be catching brain worms from either the current exceptional mainstream reportage and/or the fluoride in the water up here.

Banning batteries . . . which is actually a nascent thing over on the Right. They're convinced that liberals are going to ban batteries because batteries are bad for the environment. Poe's Law is a terrible mistress, but we're now in an era where parody and satire are almost impossible because reality just overtakes them even as they're being written.

I admire the characterization of LOTUS, in all his burnt umberage.

It just overflowed from… somewhere not unlike the overflow from fPOTUS’ adult diapers. Some people say he has that problem…

As I said, though, I don’t know that it’s the fluoride damaging the synapses, could be something else.

And I started jumpin' up and down yelling, "Kill, kill!"

And he started jumpin' up and down with me

And we was both jumpin' up and down

Yelling, "Kill, kill!"

And the sergeant came over, pinned a medal on me

Sent me down the hall, said, "You're our boy"

I listen to that every Thanksgiving. It's sort of the hippie "Night Before Christmas"

I'm convinced this whole Hur ratfuck got pulled out of the ratfuck bag of tricks six months early to compensate for the epically dumbass week the Republicans just went through. The Hur nonsense doesn't stand up to any kind of scrutiny whatsoever. That's a fine sort of thing to add to the blizzard of misinformation we are going to see a month or two before the election. 8 months out from the election on Superbowl Weekend ,(special guest - Taylor Swift!) Is not when you release this if you don't have to.

Roy's piece is brilliant satire btw .

they put a great man in jail… a great man, you all know him… they said because of a salt. A salt and a battery. Assault and battery. So-called.

Trumpian logic at its best.

That dress is certainly a thing. So nice to see they've come up with a way to recycle old sofa covers.

Yeh*, what IS eating Elon Grape?

Gotta say the “clip” of tRump’s mental effluvial discharge could’ve been an actual transcript. Dead on!
