She used to work for Pepsi. Some real relevant experience I'm sure...
She's known as the defender of cheetos.

Bahaha.

First, Biden announces that he’d only quit the race for medical reasons.

Then today they announce that Biden has Covid?!? And he still isn’t wearing any mask.

Interesting timing I’d say.

So culty:

WE ALL GOT HIT IN THE EAR THAT DAY

I like how the only girl in the photo who isn't wearing one is picking her nose.

45-47 lulz
what about 46?
STOLEN!!!

At this point the D's just wish he drops dead.

It's so obtuse these guys are running, I know we been over it but I had dinner with my parents the other night and it really reiterated things for me.

My mom is the same age as Biden and she's super anxiety ridden all the time, gets bruises from literally anything that touches her and has hearing difficulties that she refuses to acknowledge, etc... and she is considered in good health for her age.

My Dad is a little bit younger than Trump and he has all kinds of problems remembering things and tells the same stories several times over, etc.

Neither of them are all there anymore like I remember them and definitely zero chance I would deem either of them capable of running a country.

This god worship complex some of these people have with Trump is fascinating to me.

Often times I've always wondered how Jesus was able to lionize so many people around him way back when, you get to see nowadays with Trump how that still works. These people believe he's the chosen one, that the bullet missed because he's touched by god.

It's all so interesting from a human mind perspective, it's funny how we can all think so vastly differently.

What happens to the Republican party when Trump is gone? He's essentially turned the entire party into an extension of himself, he's the equivalent of key person syndrome.

100%. Nothing they can do.
Trump wins = biden can call game over and go to bed at a regular time; the party has 4 years till they find replacement.
Biden wins = it'll be trump running 4 years later.

I get the feeling that Biden is reading the writing on the wall ... too many 'private' conversations with Dem leaders. Either they will come up with a medical issue (he said he would step down if there was one preventing him from doing the job) to save face or he will do the right thing ... and let Kamala Harris be the ticket with some white guy as VP? Not sure how that would prevent a Trump landslide win.

Interestingly enough, polls indicate there is one Democrat who could beat Trump ... Michelle Obama! I'd say, at this 4th quarter of the game, throw the hail Mary, do whatever you can to try. Put Michelle Obama on the ticket, take Kamala Harris off as VP obviously (can't have 2 black women on the ticket). Not much to lose now.

^ Ideally they will both just die by that point lolol... well okay maybe not Biden, he genuinely seems like a nice man and he couldn't run for a 3rd time anyway.

Herr Trump will end term restrictions for sure.

Damn ... T-shirt makers killing it on the sales.

The Michelle Obama suggestion is interesting because I agree that at this point, there is no one among the Dems that has a chance at defeating Trump. IMO, this late in the game, I don't even think Michelle Obama would have enough time to turn things around, although it will be a much better fight than anyone else the Dems can muster.

At the same time, I sincerely hope Michelle Obama wouldn't come out to run, and I don't expect her to. She is too smart to sully her name and the Obama legacy with this, and she has repeatedly indicated in the past that she will not run for the president.

Putting Harris up will result in a landslide victory for Trump. But pretty much anyone else would too.

I have also thought about exactly this, and I am just coming to the same conclusion as the above. Esp if Trump somehow loses -- say, before the assassination attempt when Biden still had a small chance to win -- all that the world is doing is delay Trump from running again 4 years later.

In a similarly manner for us here in Canada, even if Turd somehow pulls off a miracle win again PeePee, all that will happen is, PeePee will run again in 4 years, and he will win that next time. Mind you, things have really been going downhill for Turd for quite some time as well, and at this point (and much to my disgust), I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be a landslide victory for PeePee.

You are a salient, if not depressing, man.

Trump isn't running in 2028. He'll be way too old. It's basically now or never for Trump but I do believe Trump is grooming Barron for a future run.

Given his age and general health he might not be around to run in 4 years, so delaying him that long may be all that's needed.

But that's only a short term solution. The real issue is that at this point he's not operating by himself and the GOP has no shortage of lunatics wanting to do the same or worse. The Dems should be working on a more long term plan of a handful of people they want to have as candidates in the future. If Biden steps down the replacement shouldn't be a surprise.

They at least have the benefit of the 2 term limit. Up here we have the same issues with PP and the Cons and a plan for an eventual replacement for Trudeau should've been made apparent quite a while ago.

It's all a mental exercise at this point because I don't see any reason why Trump would not win the election now. But suppose he lost this election somehow. At this point in time, isn't he more energetic and look less old than Biden did 4 years ago? If Biden is still running now, I don't see why Trump couldn't be healthy enough in 4 years to run again.

But my bigger concern is this JD Vance dude. He seems pretty hardcore conservative, and he is only 39. With Trump's endorsement and 4 years' worth of experience as VP, he is gonna be around and trying his best to extend that hardcore conservative agenda for many years to come. And if for whatever reason Trump croaks during his 2nd term, then he is gonna become POTUS right away.

I shudder at the thought of that.
(But in exactly the same way, I shudder at the thought of Biden dying while in office, and Harris stepping in...) FailFish

Somebody suggested that Trump might try to delete the 2 term limit on US Presidency ... can anyone say Chairman Xi Jinping. As much as I would be disgusted by it, at this point, it probably could happen. Trump owns the Supreme Court justices and they will find an 'interpretation' of the constitution. Then Trump will win another term or JD Vance won't validate a Dems win in the 2028 election. Trump will leave the Oval office in a coffin ... and we'll ALL lament the 'close but no cigar' sniper skills of this 20 yo kid.

Every day that Biden remains, the odds of Trump winning go up

But also, in the same vein, I think anyone who will replace him will also lose. Trump is a pretty sure bet at this point imo

Lousy fucking kids can’t do anything right. The day of the shooting I instantly yelled at my intern. Forced her to go get me pho from Thai son. She went to the one on Broadway and I was like no. The one from 1st ave only.

When she got back I berated her for making me wait and that my pho was cold.

I'm not saying Trump won't try to remove the 2 term limit. But regardless of how the election turns out, I think it is safe to say that the core GOP and Democrat support would hover at 45% or more (for each respective party). That means if Trump tries to do something to remove the term limit, the US is gonna see significant push back. You can't realistically pull off a policy change when 45%+ of the population is dead set against it -- society would just fracture and break off into a legitimate civil war.

Honestly, civil war is where I see the US heading.

The guy who keep falling asleep at his own events and eats nothing but garbage is only 3 years younger than Biden. They're both older than Obama, Bush Jr, and Clinton are currently.

I was more thinking in terms of replacements for Biden vs Trudeau. Say they both win again, it's Bidens second term so it's a given that the next Dem candidate will be someone else and none of this "support the incumbent" vs "is he the best option" stuff is involved. But with Trudeau there's no clear cut point where he's no longer eligible to run for PM.

^ yah, whoever wrote the Canadian Charter/Constitution and forgot to add a term limit gets an F. Even if it is 3 terms max ...put a damn limit on it.

The fact that Trump can't pull away from Biden in the polls (beyond the margin of error) is a massive red flag. As long as Biden is in the race, he's got a shot. If Biden drops out, I think it's over.
